==Biography==
===Early Life===
Victor Hoffman was born in 46 B.E. on Tyrus, and joined the Coalition of Ordered Governments during the Pendulum Wars. Hoffman began his career as a non-commissioned officer, and had his first serious date with a woman named Nina Kladry, and took her to museums. During this time, Victor met and befriended Bernadette Mataki, and the two dated for a time. Major Ross Hollend later told him to break up with Bernadette after he was accepted for late-entry officer training, and Hoffman reluctantly did so.
Hoffman later met a lawyer name Margert while she was working on an inquiry for the Defense Department, and the two began dating and later married.
===Emergency Day===
Hoffman was in the capital city of Ephyra when the Locust Horde first emerged, and rendezvous with Corporal Minh Young Kim. Though Hoffman had his convoy, they were attacked outside the House of Sovereigns. Kim and his squad managed to defeat the Locust, and one squad members used the Hammer of Dawn to kill a Corpser. After the Locust, Hoffman chose Kim to be his and Anya Stroud's escort.
