## 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 later married a woman named Ash and had a daughter named Carla.

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 dismissive of Victor's abilities as a Malvago compared to Carla.

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

Many months later, he is finally restored to flesh and blood by Mateo's potion. From there, he is offered a full royal pardon from Elena, alongside Carla, from their past crimes, if they are willing to help her free Ixlan the Lightning Warrior from her imprisonment on a island as Elena needs a Malvago to help her free Ixlan. Although Victor and Carla agree, Elena still has some insecurity in trusting them due to their past villainy. Though they rescue Ixlan, they are swallowed by the Moyacu that guarded Ixlan's island prison. Victor tries to free them through simple means when Elena refuses to let him and Carla use their magic to free everyone, but only gets himself out. After Carla calls out Elena on her distrust of them and Elena is reminded by Naomi of what Quita Moz said about trust, even with former villains, Elena agrees to give Carla and Victor their tamberitias to use to free everyone from the Moyacu. Once back in Avalor, Elena keeps her word and pardons Victor and Carla of their past wrongdoings. After that, both pledge to aid Elena against Ash and Esteban, training to become good wizards instead of Malvagos after seeing what Ash's dedication to her Malvago training did to their family, disowning her as both Victor's wife and Carla's mother.

## History

During King Raul's reign, Victor's father was the Royal Treasurer of Avalor. He and 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.

Victor first appears in "King of the Carnaval" when he and his daughter Carla arrive at Avalor Palace. After Elena shows him the Royal Treasury and Carla steals the key from a sentry, Victor tries to steal the Crown Jewels but is stopped by the booby traps inside. Once back outside, He blackmails Esteban into helping him rob the Royal Treasury of Avalor by threatening to tell the Royal Family and the whole kingdom he helped Shuriki invade Avalor if he refuses. However, it's Elena that comes back out with the jewels. When Esteban comes back out, he explains Elena caught him and he had to give her the jewels to cover himself. Victor tells him to get the jewels back with their old slight of hand tricks or he'll spill the beans about what he did to his family. To ensure that Esteban succeeds, Victor takes control of the float and gives the Royal Family a bumpy ride. When Esteban comes back with the jewels, Victor sees that Esteban didn't take back Queen Lucia's tiara. Esteban tells him that that's because Elena's wearing it and he'll be seen. Victor orders Carla to get rid of the others and take the tiara. Esteban tells him he has enough jewels to which Victor retorts "The tiara is the only piece that matters. We're not leaving without it." To which Esteban bites back "Then you are not leaving at all!" and stops the coach. Furious, Victor drops the bomb about Esteban's betrayal to Elena. After Carla steals the tiara, Victor imprisons Elena and Esteban. However, Victor and Carla are stopped by the Carnaval Parade long enough for Elena and Esteban to instigate a chase. Victor and Carla are soon apprehended by Elena, her family, and her subjects. Angered by their actions and seeing they no longer deserve asylum in Avalor, Elena banishes Victor and Carla forever. However, Victor vows to return for the tiara and get revenge.

Victor and Carla return in "Realm of the Jaquins", sabotaging the Search and Rescue Test for Skylar's little brother Nico that would make him a Guardian of Avalor under Chief Zephyr. As a result, as Nico is forced to return to Vallestrella in shame, Victor and Carla use the opportunity to enter Vallestrella to retrieve a magical gemstone. In the process, they release the forest sprite Marimonda, and convince her to invade Avalor. Victor and Carla then interrupt Elena's attempt to capture Marimonda right before she could escape through the portal to Avalor, revealing themselves to be the ones responsible for Marimonda's release. Before Elena can stop them, they escape back to Avalor with Marimonda. However, while Elena and King Verago deal with Marimonda, it gives Victor and Carla time to escape back to the cabin of an old friend of Victor's, Shuriki. Despite Shuriki's double-cross with banishing them when she took over Avalor 41 years ago, Shuriki is grateful for the gemstone Victor brought from Vallestrella that restores her youth that she lost when Elena destroyed her wand. Shuriki plans revenge on Elena, and promises to make Victor and Carla malvago wizards when they succeed.

Allied with Shuriki again, Victor and Carla begin retrieving gems that she can use to forge a new wand for herself, but all of the ones they bring her have little magic in them, so she sends them to the abandoned capital of Tepet Muul to retrieve the powerful Jewel of Maru. However, Victor and Carla encounter resistance from Elena and Mateo, and end up failing to retrieve the Jewel, as Carla had it, but Elena forces her to drop it, leaving Victor and Carla to retreat back to Shuriki empty-handed.

With their presence now known to Elena, and with the Royal Guards and citizens of Avalor hunting for them, Victor and Carla decide to take Shuriki across the border to the neighboring kingdom of Paraiso to find a gem there Shuriki can use to craft a new wand. However, they are forced to avoid being seen by the Jaquins, and by the time they reach the border, Elena and Paraiso Princess Valentina have signed a peace treaty between their kingdoms, increasing the guard detail at the border crossing, leaving Shuriki and the Delgados to rethink their plans now that they were trapped in Avalor for the time being.

Unable to leave Avalor now, Shuriki decides to take advantage of Victor's earlier failed attempt to steal Queen Lucia's Carnaval Tiara from the Royal Treasury by having Carla drink a shape-shifting potion that turns her into a girl she dubs as "Rita Perez", a distant cousin of Armando, though her reflection is still her normal appearance, thus having Victor warn Carla that she must avoid mirrors at all costs while she tries to steal the tiara so Shuriki can use the jewel in it to forge a new wand for herself. Carla succeeds with getting deep into Elena's inner circle, but is unable to steal the tiara immediately due to all the preparations for the Jaquin Festival. Victor arrives in disguise during the festival to ask Carla if she has it yet, but when Carla says she does not have it yet, Victor warns her she must get it as soon as possible before the shape-shifting potion wears off and her cover is blown, leaving his daughter to remain undercover and continue to stay in Elena's good favor.

Victor later comes across his daughter again, who again explains she's been unable to retrieve Lucia's tiara from the Royal Treasury. However, she later returns to Shuriki to reveal she's learned of Mateo brewing up a Reversal Potion to revive the malvago wizard Fiero. Shuriki decides to use this to her advantage since Fiero would prove to be a powerful ally with taking revenge on Elena and Avalor.

Some time later, Carla discovers her Shape-shifting Potion wearing off, and returns to Shuriki for more, but the sorceress refuses due to Carla's lack of success with her undercover missions. However, revealing a new plan regarding Elena and everyone being at the Sunflower Festival, Victor and Shuriki are able to slip into Avalor City in disguise, and Carla is able to retrieve the Reversal Potion and give it to Shuriki, only to be seen by Naomi. Returning to where Fiero is, Victor and Carla watch as Shuriki revives him, and after learning that Fiero had been banished by Shuriki some time prior like them, Victor and Carla join Shuriki and Fiero as they breach the Royal Treasury to retrieve the gem from Lucia's tiara, then attempt to grab the Codex Maru from Mateo's lab, only to have Mateo prevent them from stealing it, with Fiero only grabbing a few blank pages. As they take their leave, they are discovered by Elena, who's horrified to see Shuriki again, and seeing the Delgados and Fiero working with her. Mateo and Naomi manage to protect Elena and arm her with the Scepter of Light, allowing her to break Shuriki's new wand, and the villains are forced to retreat under Fiero's suggestion. When Fiero reveals that the hidden writing on the pages he stole from the Codex will lead them to something that will even the playing field against Elena and her Scepter of Light, they make haste for Shuriki's carriage to escape before being discovered by Elena and the others on horseback. During this time, Victor and Carla are offended when Fiero requests that Shuriki make him Royal Malvago when she takes over again, despite her agreement with them to make them Malvagos as well, which she intends to uphold.

Learning of the location of the first piece to the dark counterpart to the Scepter of Light, the Scepter of Night, Victor joins Shuriki, Fiero, and Carla with looking for it, but he and Carla continue to feel underappreciated because of Fiero being Shuriki's second-in-command and future Royal Malvago. As a result, when they locate the pyramid the first piece of the Scepter of Night is in, only to run into Elena and her friends, Victor manages to sneakily tail Fiero into the pyramid while Carla and Shuriki act as decoys. However, because of their arguing, it leads to Elena getting her hands on the first piece of the Scepter of Night, forcing Victor and Fiero to retreat back to Shuriki empty-handed, but not without having learned of the riddle leading to the second piece. Once the still bickering Victor and Fiero climb into Shuriki's carriage, Carla drives it away to begin the hunt for the next piece.

In "The Race for the Realm", upon noticing Gabe and Mateo flying back to the Avalor Royal Palace with the Staff of the Scepter of Night, Shuriki orders Victor and Carla to pursue them, and has Fiero transform them into full-fledged Malvagos to accomplish it. With their new dark wizard powers and tamberitias, the Delgados are able to retrieve the Staff from Mateo and Gabe, while Shuriki and Fiero acquired the other two pieces from Naomi and Elena in Vallestrella, allowing Shuriki to reunite the Scepter of Night and begin her training on using it properly with Fiero.

Once Shuriki has finished her training, the team of villains go after Elena while she and her family are traveling to Nueva Vista for their summer vacation, getting support from Duke Cristóbal with their plan due to wanting his own revenge on Elena for cutting off his gold supply from Shuriki when she had ruled Avalor. In the end, Victor is forced to retreat with Carla, Cruz, and Vestia after Elena kills Shuriki, escaping with the Jewel from the Scepter of Night, the only thing to survive after Elena vaporized Shuriki with the Scepter of Light.

They are reunited with Carla's mother Ash Delgado in "Snow Place Like Home", though Victor is initially upset at her for not coming back to him and Carla for seven years, they make amends after Victor reveals that he has the Scepter of Night's jewel.

In "Naomi Knows Best", Victor, Ash, and Carla set up a trap for Elena by having a brainwashed King Joaquín write a forged letter to her, lying that Victor and Carla have been captured in his kingdom. Once Elena arrives there with Esteban and Mateo, Ash reveals herself and imprisons Esteban, Mateo, and Joaquín in a cell. She and her family plan to extract the magic inside Elena into the Scepter of Night's jewel, which will kill her, and use a spell on Elena that forces her to go with them. By sunset, Gabe and Naomi ambush them, but Ash is easily able to defeat them and plans to have Carla perform the magical spell with her, as she is a more powerful malvago than Victor, much to Victor's frustration, whom Ash entrusts with guarding the cells.

Though Victor initially does a good job in guarding the cells, Naomi is easily able to outsmart him and tricks him into unintentionally freeing Esteban and Mateo. He has his tamborita taken from him, and Naomi has Esteban and Joaquín keep an eye on him while she, Mateo, and Gabe confront Ash and Carla. While they succeed in foiling Ash and Carla's plans, the latter two manage to escape and plan to come back for Victor eventually. The next morning, Victor is lead on board Elena's ship to be imprisoned in Avalor Palace for his crimes.

In "Sister of Invention", an imprisoned Victor refuses to tell Elena anything, and expresses shock when she mentions the Delgado's cabin. Later, in "To Save a Sunbird", Carla is locked up in the same cell as him when she fails to rescue him. Though she believes she failed him, Victor assures her that it's the fact that they're together that's important. He is hopeful that Ash will soon rescue him and Carla, unaware that she is actually on her way to Takaina so she can obtain powerful magic.

In "The Magic Within", Victor is happy to be reunited with Ash once she is recaptured, but he is upset when she only hugs Carla and not him. Esteban arrives as Mateo told him what happened. Elena confirms this and adds all of Avalor's enemies are locked up. Victor retorts Esteban would be locked up too if that were true (obviously referring to what he told Elena before). Knowing what he's referring to, Elena tells Victor to save his breath as she doesn't believe him and leaves. Also knowing what he was referring to, Esteban comes over to rub it in. Victor tells him the truth always has a way of coming out. Esteabn tells him "Yes, if only you did" and leaves.

Ultimately, Esteban's secret is revealed just like how Victor said it will, and he is imprisoned in a cell near the one containing Victor and his family. Victor is uncertain Esteban's family will forgive him, but Esteban is confident they will. When this does not happen and Esteban is sentenced to banishment after the carnaval parade, he escapes from the dungeon by tricking Higgins into unknowingly giving him the key before distracting him. Following his escape, Esteban refuses to help the Delgados, but Ash reminds him that he needs them because he won't stand a chance against Elena and Mateo.

Once the Delgados and Esteban are all free from the dungeon, Esteban gives Carla and her parents back their tamboritas by sneaking into the treasury room and taking them. Victor makes an attempt to betray Esteban, but Ash and Esteban himself convince Victor they need him. The four of them escape the palace, but Elena, who found out about what happened and is now chasing them, panics and her magic unintentionally causes an avalanche that knocks Carla and Esteban off a cliff. Though Carla nearly falls to her death, Ash saves her but shows significantly less concern for her safety than Victor (who was unable to save Carla due to his tamborita being destroyed), while Esteban manages to climb back up. Victor refuses to go with Ash over fear for Carla's safety, resulting in her turning him into stone with a terrified look on his face, which leaves Carla heartbroken.

After Ash and Esteban flee, Carla and a petrified Victor are captured by Mateo, Gabe, and other guards. When asked about what happened to Victor, Carla solemnly reveals what her mother did and states she thought she loved her and her father, but she was wrong. Carla begs Elena to save Victor, saying she'll do anything Elena asks. Though Elena expresses sympathy for Carla, she still has her placed back in the dungeon until she can deal with her.

In "Captain Mateo", Victor's petrified body is shown being kept in the garden of Avalor Castle. When Elena expresses anger towards what Esteban did, she unintentionally causes Victor to fly in the air. As she calms down, Victor is safely lowered back to the ground.

He returns in "The Lightning Warrior". After being restored to flesh and blood, much to Carla's relief and joy, Victor and Carla are given a chance at redemption for their past crimes with Shuriki, Fiero, and Ash with aiding Elena in helping an ancient Maruvian princess in order to fully transition from being Malvagoes to good wizards. However, after rescuing Ixlan, they are swallowed by the guardian of the waters around the island where Ixlan was imprisoned, the Moyacu. Victor and Carla offered to help get everyone out, but Elena still distrusted them and refused to return their tamberitias to them. As a result, Victor tried having the Moyacu sneeze them out, but only got himself out via the Moyacu's blowhole. Once Carla tells Elena off for her distrust and Naomi reminds Elena of what Quita Moz said about trust, Elena returns Victor and Carla's tamberitias and they are all able to escape and return to Avalor. As a result, Elena forgives Victor and Carla for their past crimes and they agree to train as good wizards now instead of Malvagos after seeing what Ash's dedication to her Malvago training did in tearing their family apart and turning her against them.
