Victor is the manager of the long-established Bistro Montmart in Edith's old town. The bistro is well-known amongst residents in the city, including former president Samuel Rocksmith. He agreed to help raise Yumé when Paulette quit her job as a nurse six years ago after she was cheated on by Yumé's father. His bistro has apartments on upper floors which he rents out to Van Arkride and his co-workers.

Victor initially appears to have a dim view of Van Arkride, who rents out office and living space above the bistro. Despite this, he looks out for him and gives him advice , but isn't above giving him a piece of his mind - especially when Yumé, his beloved granddaughter does so. Victor receives vegetable deliveries from Creil and has Van try some recipes he replicated when they tell him about one they encountered in said village. From there on, he replicates recipes for interesting foods they find on their business trips. Victor has mixed relationships with the additional workers Van reluctantly hires: he dotes upon Feri Al-Fayed but remains hard-edged and antagonistic towards Aaron Wei, who tries to make moves on his daughter.
Victor initially suspects Maxim Rogen had returned to speak with Paulette when he appears at the bistro, but his doubts prevent him from openly discussing it with her. Paulette gratefully accepts Van's suggestion for him to take Yumé to Longlai so she can discuss the issue with her father. Victor is angered with Maxim when he is told the truth and thinks about beating him up when he lays eyes upon him. After their return, he joins everyone in listening to the broadcast about Creil Village- saddened to think of his acquaintances lost.
In the approach to Revolution Day, Victor allows Van and company to reserve the whole bistro until 7pm for a party. During these events he strikes up a friendship with Bergard Zeman who compliments him on his chess skills, saying that even amongst the Gralsritter there are few with his level of skill. On the Day itself, Victor is busy running the bistro but comments that he will never forgive Maxim if he lays a hand on Paulette again. Van spends some time with him learning how to cook and give him a hand, but Victor is adamant that he will never accept Maxim as a 'son'. He takes shelter in the bistro when Pandemonium envelops the city, and bids Van find Feri who headed out.
