*"I just realized the only reason I'm where I am is because everyone important in my life has refused to say no. I've never been challenged, or told that what I was doing was wrong. Everyone just kept nodding their head, telling me I was "doing a good thing," or "helping save the planet." In my mind, they were right; I had no reason to suspect they weren't. It is only now that I realize when you live your entire life inside a bubble you lose touch with the outside."*
―Viktor Kilberg[src]
Baron **Viktor von Kilberg**, MD, Sc.D (MBR) (born **Viktor Tobias Dagobert Kilberg**) is a German-American scientist, originally renowned for his scientific contributions to the planet, and the creation of Invictium. He was hired by the Strategic Defense Collective to make a battle suit out of invictium, which led to him creating the Warmonger armor. After stealing it from its original owner, he gave it a new paintjob and became the vigilante known as the **Proeliator**. His role as the Proeliator culminated in the Duel in Hamada, in which he defeated Sypolt after the latter began to rampage through Hamada City, Zwanzia after losing his teammates to domestic terrorism in Swaoso. He had a relatively minor role in the Resurgence, giving his life to stop the Warmonger from escaping custody in Tisztasag. During the battle in the city, he saved CITADEL agent Julia Thompson after the building she was in was toppled by Warmonger. His body was disfigured from burns he received during his sacrifice, leading him to have a closed casket funeral alongside the other valiant men and women who died during the Resurgence.

He was revived by SABRE during Project New Legacy among select others including Andreu Sylvain, but lost his memories and went insane after coming back to life, becoming the mad scientist known as the **Architect**. In order to ensure that he could control the rest of his life, and in turn remove other people and their unpredictable behaviors, he began building Replicas, a highly capable form of robots that externally look undistinguishable from humans. His obsession with robotics and unexpected acceptance of transhumanism led to him replacing some parts of his damaged body with robotic parts. He slowly infiltrated CITADEL using Replicas, even replacing Imperia at one point, before being stopped by Julia Thompson and her team. Even after being kidnapped and replaced, Imperia still tried to remind Kilberg of who he had once been. Unfortunately, her attempts were unsuccessful, and Kilberg would remain permanently damaged from his revival. He was later sent to the C.A.S.E.

## Biography

### Involvement with the Strategic Defense Coalition

Kilberg was hired by the Strategic Defense Collective in 2000 in order to work on a supposedly indestructible material: Invictium. The material was made of a metal alloy extracted from a mysterious meteor and several other elements. Kilberg, with the assistance of other SDC scientists, was able to create a battle suit made from the material. Viktor was congratulated, and promoted in the SDC. After the SDC gave the suit to Benjamin Sypolt, Kilberg's regret in making the suit grew more and more until it hit its peak in 2003 when Sypolt killed innocent civilians in Vadalah. After the incident, Kilberg created a plan with fellow scientist Lars Lorenz to steal the suit. Their plan was successful, and they were able to take the suit and run away to Santa Vida.

After giving the suit a new paintjob, Kilberg would don the suit and stop various criminal operations in the city. He then became known as the **Proeliator**, and would make headline after headline for his actions. The SDC took note of this new superhero, and tried their hardest to find out who had stolen their suit. Benjamin Sypolt suspected Kilberg of stealing the suit, however kept to himself as he knew he had no evidence. Eventually, Kilberg felt he could no longer be the Proeliator, as the people were beginning to be fearful of him, and politicians were calling for his arrest. He buried the suit 20 feet deep below his security room in his house.

### Working on Sarah Spinzer

Kilberg went under the radar, eventually becoming a Doctor of Medicine in 2007. The same year he became a doctor, Kilberg met director of the GSOB Robert Colby, and was eventually recruited as part of the scientific division. In October of 2007, GSOB agent Sarah Spinzer attempted to chase and apprehend supposed-terrorist Ivo Makovich. During the chase, she was seriously injured by an Imperium explosion. Colby had her brought to Hendrix Medical Centre, and forced Lorenz and Kilberg to work on her leg with Imperium. This was due to the fact that Sarah's mother, Martha, possessed enhanced abilities (which included quick healing) due to Imperium. After several different experiments, Kilberg and Lorenz ultimately gave up, as their efforts were unsuccessful.
