Biography

Background

Not much is known about Victor's background, except his family members. He was described as a "local politician" of São Paulo .

2010s

Hiring Max Payne

In 2012, Victor's brother, Rodrigo hires former NYPD detective, Max Payne, to work as the family's bodyguard, alongside Raul Passos. Victor actually has paid Passos to find and bring Payne.

At some point in that year, Victor's sister-in law, Fabiana Branco, is kidnapped by the Commando Sombra.

True face

Victor is later revealed to be the one behind the deaths of his family members, and also the one behind the UFE, working with a high-ranking officer named Armando Becker . It is also revealed that he makes deals with the Crachá Preto (through the UFE), and use both groups to "clean up" São Paulo from crime, in order to be favored by citizens. After Max breaks into the UFE base and begins to choke Becker, Victor arrives and holds Max at gun point. Max, however, disarms and attacks Victor, who is saved and carried away by Becker.

Fall and aftermath

―Max Payne breaks Victor's leg.

Later, Victor and Becker try to escape via planes, but Max soon arrives at the airport and makes his way through Becker's men. Max finds Becker and mortally wounds him with a grenade launcher. Victor is already on the plane and is about to escape, but Max manages to kill Becker's last men, and blow up the plane.
