### Quote

“It’s 10:00, you have five minutes precisely and then I want to hear a pin drop.“

**Victor Rodenmaar Jr.** is the caretaker of Anubis House. He is the leader of the Secret Society. He is very strict towards the Anubis House students. He has a stuffed raven named Corbierre, who he keeps in his office, whom he is rather very attached to. Not very much is known about his past, other than he had a hard childhood and his childhood friends were Sarah and Rufus. Victor seems to be at the root of the society, since he was there since the beginning of it and has extensive knowledge of Egyptian Mythology and Alchemy. He is connected to the Frobisher-Smythe's through his late father and often tries to outwit Robert. He is the great Enabler. In Touchstone of Ra, he left Anubis House to fulfil his destiny and protect the touchstone. Victor, along with Sarah, and Rufus founded the school together.

## History

Victor was born in 1915 and used to be friends with Sarah Frobisher-Smythe and Rufus Zeno when he was younger. When his late father threatened to dump Victor in an orphanage, his friendship with Sarah ended. Despite the fact that he wasn't good friends with her after their childhood, he was upset when he heard Sarah died, showing he still cared for her (see Varah). Victor seems to have inherited a great deal of his attitude and behavior from his late father, including his quirk of saying "You have five minutes precisely and then I want to hear a pin drop." (Which his father was heard saying on one of the phonographic cylinders.) He always accompanies this statement by actually dropping a pin.

## Series involvement

Victor is on the scene when Patricia becomes suspicious of Joy's disappearance, calming her and claiming that she is perfectly alright. Any evidence of Joy's existence, Victor goes to extreme lengths to get rid of. It is obvious that Victor has many secrets and as the story goes on, Victor begins to become paranoid that someone is finding out more and more about the society (Nina and Fabian). He drank the Elixir of Life to make him look younger in the Season Finale, Victor attempts to complete the ritual which would give all of them eternal life. He fails however when Sibuna interrupts it. Victor is discouraged afterwards and stalks away to his room; to mourn over his loss of eternal life. His pride and joy is his stuffed bird named Corbierre.

In the second season, Victor is on the hunt on finding The Book of Isis as he suspects that it has the formula for the Elixir of Life. He begins his search in the Frobisher-Smythe Library, where he intends to hold an Egyptian exhibition. Near the end of the second season, it was shown that he did infact care for the Anubis Household students. In one episode of Season 2 where the antechamber code shelf is it is revealed Victor has another pet ferret like his crow and he pet it and said it's name. In the season two finale, he gave up the final ingredient of the Elixir of Life to save Joy, showing that he's a good person, just that he's grumpy. He then gave Nina the Mask of Anubis to put it where Robert intended it. Nina then gave him his late father's ring, and told her the message his late father wanted to pass down to him. At the end of the season two finale, his new ring glowed , and when he opened it, he was excited to see a Tear of Gold, nearly crying. This is the cliffhanger for a third season - although, this turned out not to be the plot of the next season.

In the third season, Victor is the Enabler. Victor is involved with Miss Denby and Mr. Sweet to wake up Robert Frobisher-Smythe. After they wake him up, Victor visits the gatehouse. Frobisher captures him to make him the first sinner. After he was captured, Victor turned into a strong, consciousless servant of Robert. His job is to find sinners to awaken Ammit. First, He tried to capture Eddie, but failed. Now, He and Caroline planned to make Patricia Williamson the 2nd sinner. In the episode House of Enemies / House of Surprise, He found the secret room that the Sibunas are about to enter and asked by Robert to set booby traps so the Sibunas couldn't get in. He was turned back to normal in House of Ammut / House of Heroes. He also left Anubis House in the Touchstone of Ra due to his destiny. He was informed as a child that his destiny was to prevent the Pyramid of Ra from ever being built. He was injured saving Eddie from a chandelier falling on him.
