## **Biography**

### **Background**

When Victor’s promising NBA career was cut short by an unfortunate accident, he quickly changed gears and founded The Temple of Boom, a recording business that has become a darling of the L.A. music scene. It was this success that attracted his sire, and tonight the rising mogul finds himself not only undead but trying to walk a dangerous tightrope between uneasy alliances and conflicting loyalties.

Club Maharajah in Hollywood was Victor's main enterprise. He promotes his label's talent, like Chocolate Drop, and also used it to mask his unlife workings. Victor worked with Nelli G and Jasper Heartwood to do several jobs for Isaac Abrams, Baron of Hollywood.

### **Season One**

Victor and his coterie, consisting of Jasper and Nellie, controlled the territory of Griffith College in Hollywood, under the purview of Isaac Abrams, Baron of Hollywood. In episode 4, Victor gains the additional domain of the Valley and is granted the title Baron of The Valley. Victor requests that Ramona, a new coterie member, watch over Griffith College so that he may focus on his new domain.
