Reference:
Victor was born and raised to middle class parents in New York. His mother worked as a grade school teacher and his father worked as a history professor. His parents had joked that he was always destined to live his life in books because of this, something that didn't fall too far from the truth. For reasons unknown to him at the time he's always been drawn to mythology and anthropology of the different cultures around the world, even majoring it them when he was at University. Though his true passion had always been Norse Mythology. While researching for a book he'd planned to write regarding the Norse Mythology, he'd received a call that he'd won a free trip to Hotel Fen, a remote mountain resort near Jotunheimen. Even though he hadn't remembered entering a contest, he jumped at the chance to be flown to Norway and entrench himself in the history and mythology of the country and he didn't question it. Shortly after his arrival at the hotel, he met and was trapped alongside nurse Silje Storstrand. They later discovered that they had both been tricked to the hotel by Fenris, Loki's wolf-child, in order to kill them in a ritual that would finally release the Trickster God from his chains. In their time at the hotel he learned that he was actually the reincarnation of Víðarr, one of Óðinn's sons, and that she was the reincarnation of Sigríðr a woman who the god had loved, lost, and refound when she'd become a Valkyrie. The two lovers had been slain by Loki and the other Norse gods had used their souls to bind Loki in his eternal prison.

In his first life, Víðarr was a quiet god, letting his brother Thor make the noise, especially when it came to Miðgarðr and the humans. Mostly he fought with his brother when needed, and helped the Valkyries train the Einherjar, warriors brought after their death to train for the final battle. Though most of the stories the humans wove about Thor, Víðarr had been beside his brother at every turn. The two were close enough that when Thor misplaced Mjölnir, he accompanied his brother down to Miðgarðr to search for it. Searching later became settling in at a tavern where he met Sigríðr. The two fell in love and their union lead to three children as Víðarr strived to visit her and the family of his heart whenever he could. One of the trips, Víðarr found her drown and after finding a good family to keep their children safe and raised in good lives, he bargained with his father to intervene, so Óðinn brought her into Ásgarðr as a Valkyrie, but without her mortal memories.

He watched from a slight distance for a time, battling his heart to have her close but without knowing him. Eventually their love found a way and they were fully reunited. Though Loki later killed her as part of his revenge scheme against Óðinn, and Víðarr had tried to kill him in revenge but was slain in the process. The gods, finally having had enough, bound Loki using the lovers' blood; the use of blood magic led to their souls to be forever tethered to the Nine Worlds, and Loki's children hunted them life after life, reincarnation after reincarnation, in order to reverse the binding and set their father free.

He and Silje battled the trials of Hotel Fen together, regaining some of their memories and abilities in the process. They also collected a few of the items Fenris has taken from the gods and goddesses he and his siblings have slain over the millennia. They were last seen heading towards the Bifröst to get back to Ásgarðr and warn the surviving gods about Loki's plan to set Ragnarök in motion.

Victor has already died eight times in total.
