Victor, or Vic, Chel's father works for the same branch of the government as his wife,.. which is how they met. They often work together on correlating teams due to their specialized work. [1] He's more of a 'detective' than a scientist.
He's currently investigating several hundred reports of strange creatures appearing all over the world, and even stranger beings appearing and fighting them with more creatures. They include a giant golden eagle big enough to carry off a man in the Seattle area, a 'sea dragon' rubbing against cruise ships in the Gulf of Mexico (who also loves heads of lettuce and having its picture taken), and a unicorn kept in secret on a ranch in Montana (a buckskin filly with a foot long horn, who's very fast, won't let them catch her, and vanishes while whinnying arrogantly when cornered (as well as making rude comments), who seemed to like him enough to let Victor grab a few hairs from her mane). [2] He also has photos of some aliens... good pictures of Damian and Claudia from Hawaii, as well as poorer images of Riley, Mauki, and another with orange hair... one of the poor ones was of someone who acted with hostility at having his picture taken, and threw the man taking the picture into a car. They wanted to quickly mobilize to encounter an alien, and possibly capture one if they refused to speak or tried to leave. They could not allow aliens to freely roam the Earth, for if the conspiracy nuts caught wind of it, they would claim if one 'conspiracy' was real, all the rest were too, and they were not ready to deal with that. [3] He decided to approach Riley since he was in the same bar in a suburb of New York every night for the past two weeks, and was chatty with the other bar patrons, and wanted to handle it personally. [4]
He had the bartender contact him the moment Riley showed up, and spent twenty minutes observing him over the monitoring system the bar had installed before making contact. Outside there were two units of support watching the bar and listening in. The other man in the bar was another agent. People had left, but none were allowed to come back into the bar once they had, just in case things got out of hand. [5]
He does not quite believe Riley when he says humans aren't being used in their game, [6] since they have blood samples containing human DNA. He asked for a sample of Riley's blood, but was refused. [7] Annoyed, he grumbled about their world not being good enough for official contact, only for games - Riley told him that was a good thing. [8] Victor disagreed, and slapped a handcuff on him. [9]
When he confronts Riley as being an alien, he identifies himself as being with the FBI. [10]
When they were outside, Victor mentioned wanting to run a few small tests on Riley, and then letting him go unharmed. Riley didn't believe him, broke the handcuffs, then mentioned he knew that his kids were Andrea, Chel, and Kalvin, living 300 miles away - he knew where. Victor took it as a threat. [11] As Riley ran away, he got shot by someone, [12] then tackled by Victor as he went through a Door to Damian's ship [13], and ended up leaving his coat behind, so Victor at least got his blood sample. He then had to consider how harshly to chew out the overzealous shooter who was more concerned about Riley getting away than anything else,.. including accidentally shooting Victor. Shooting Riley had never really been in the plan. He hoped it wouldn't have any disastrous results. [14]
He freaked out when his wife suggested that Chel might having feelings or Lexx and was trying to 'protect him'.
He didn't aprove of Riley being shot, the one who shot Riley was given two month's leave. [15]
