## Personality

Vítor is a man set on creating the future of humanity through the creation of the Offshore, with his two partners Laís and Samira. During the time of the Offshore’s construction, he had a happy life with his friends, having a kind of romantic relationship between both of them. He believed in the Offshore as being a perfect place where humanity could live in peace and security. However his beliefs turned selfish, not out of a need to save the Offshore from the investors who were planning to remove all the scientists who built the Offshore, but to not relive his miserable life in the Inland. Even after Samira offered to recreate an Offshore unit in the Inland, with the cost of abandoning her own family, Vítor still didn’t want to give up on the Offshore, believing it to be his right to stay there, believing that Samira’s plan would backfire, because he thought that the average humans were incapable of sharing the resources equally. He, together with Laís were willing to destroy countless people’s lives in order to not abandon the Offshore, deeming it as a necessary sacrifice for the “perfect” world, dismissing Samira, because he thought she was being naive and would never understand the misery that he and Laís felt. Although even after sabotaging the Inland and killing Samira, Vítor still felt so much guilt and pain for their heinous actions. But decided to move on, believing it was the right thing.

During the age of the Process, Vítor lived a happy life with his wife, Laís, and his daughter, Tânia, not thinking about the those that passed or failed the Process, just focusing in his own life with the people he loved, while still serving as a founder to put the Offshore first. However his neglect to other people’s feelings costed him his own daughter, in a council meeting where he proposed to sterilize the population, who most didn’t have children and approved it regardless not caring about them but for the Offshore. But after Patricia suggested to send the children to live in the Inland as they didn’t have the right to live in the Offshore without passing the Process, Vítor was outraged by this decision, caring more to be with his daughter than living in the Offshore, going against his own principles and the very ideology that forced him to carry out this decision. But Laís convinced him, that if they were to leave with their daughter, it would end up with the same result as Samira’s decision to leave the Offshore, ergo what they had sacrificed to live in the Offshore would have been for nothing. Vítor believed in Tânia and was convinced that she would pass the Process.

However, all his faith and hope is crushed 11 years later, when his daughter failed the Process. His loyalty to the Offshore and the love he had for Tânia was finally put to the test when he reluctantly eliminated her. Both he and Laís had to move on, but they still were grieving over the loss of their only child. But some photos of Vítor in Chapter “Sun” show that he finally got over the pain of losing Tânia years later, because of the love he had for Laís.

During Process 28, Vítor had become a weak and saddened old man. Because of the Cause’s continues attacks, in order to hinder an all out war, because of the Council’s growing fears, he chose to end the conflict peacefully with a test, to decide whether the Process should exist. However the very idea behind the test went against the very ideology of the Offshore, but Vítor claimed that he didn’t wish for a war. When the Council unanimously voted against the proposal and in favor of destroying the Cause, believing that the Founding Couple was letting their feelings for Tânia cloud their judgment, Vítor finally reached his limit, tired of living the facade of being someone who cared only for the Offshore, confirming that he indeed was against the war only to protect Tânia, and wanted to return to the Inland to save Tânia before she was killed by the Security Division. After Laís died, trying to find Tânia, Vítor died heartbroken, finally losing all the people he cared about, because of his selfish actions, never having a chance to make up for his sins.
