Victor Delgado

**Victor Delgado** is a former friend of Chancellor Esteban and Princess Elena. As a teenager, believing himself to have never been treated with respect, he conspired with Esteban to help Shuriki take over Avalor, only to wind up being banished from the kingdom. He serves as the secondary antagonist in the second season and later the main antagonist for the rest of the season of *Elena of Avalor*. However, he reforms in "The Lightning Warrior", regretting his past actions and now desiring to help Elena defend Avalor.

## Background

During King Raul's reign, Victor's father was the Royal Treasurer of Avalor. He and Chancellor Esteban would often race through the palace and Esteban would always finish second for which Victor nicknamed him El Segundo. Forty-one years ago, Victor and Esteban made a deal with an evil power-hungry sorceress named Shuriki: They would help her invade Avalor if she gave them power after she took over. However after she took over, Shuriki had Victor and his family banished from Avalor and made Esteban Chancellor. He later married a woman named Ash and they had a daughter named Carla. Ash later left to become a Malvago. Five years later, a severely weakened Shuriki came to Victor following her defeat at the hands of Princess Elena and Princess Sofia and renewed her alliance with him by promising to make him and Carla Dark Wizards in exchange for helping her regain her youth and powers.

### Personality

Victor is an extremely ruthless, cruel, and selfish man who always makes trouble everywhere he goes. As noted by Francisco and Luisa, he's been a thief since he was a boy. He freely betrays anyone for the sake of his own personal gain as shown when he betrayed everyone in Avalor including his own father to help Shuriki gain power so she would name him Chancellor of Avalor. He's also shown to feel no guilt or shame about the harm he causes to fulfill his desires as shown when he was only upset that Shuriki banished him from the Kingdom and instead made Esteban Chancellor.

For all his ambition and ruthlessness however, Victor loves his daughter dearly, carrying her through a blizzard after she hurt her leg all the way to their cottage to get her warm and safe.

His main weakness is his ego as he can be tricked into making a wrong move by his enemies when they rub it the wrong way.

His reunion with his wife, Ash, is bitter though they hide their discontent with each other from Carla, as Victor is angry at Ash for not returning to him and their daughter when Ash was only supposed to be gone a year, and the fact she never contacted them led Victor to think Ash was dead, and he is aggravated how Ash excuses her actions and turns the argument around on him as she is angry that Victor raised their daughter without her. Though they come to an understanding and seem to make up, it quickly dissolves after Ash is shown to be dismissive of Victor's abilities as a Malvago compared to Carla's.

When Carla nearly falls to her death, Victor decides that the two of them need to end their dark pursuits because they have endangered Carla, once again showing how much he cares about his daughter to the point of giving up his desires if it means keeping her safe. Unfortunately, Ash responds to this by turning him into stone.

Victor is afraid of thunderstorms, as he fearfully clutches Carla in his arms when Hetz conjures one.

Since Elena required the help of a Malvago to accomplish a task, she hesitantly gave Victor and Carla second chance, and the both of them took this chance for redemption, even declining Elena's original proposition and requested to aid her in stopping Ash. As a result, Victor and Carla found true redemption in renouncing dark magic to become good wizards and doing what was right. Victor himself restored the friendship he, Esteban, and Elena once shared when they were all children.
