Viktor Licht entered the world at 02:35 in the Imperial Central Hospital’s West Wing Delivery Room 3, his birthdate marked as March 14th. Now 23, the Haijima Industries researcher and Special Fire Force Company 8 science officer stands at precisely 187.236 cm with a weight of 72.358 kg. His striking appearance features a voluminous dark-brown curly afro, heavy-lidded eyes with obscured pupils, and a signature wardrobe of white lab coats over striped vests, paired with dark-green trousers and vibrant sneakers. Later missions see him clad in Company 8’s bunker gear, helmet conspicuously absent. Graduating top of his class from the Imperial University of Tokyo, Viktor authored a groundbreaking thesis on spontaneous human combustion, catapulting him into Haijima’s incendiary research division. There, his secluded studies attracted the attention of Joker, a shadow operative unraveling the Tokyo Empire’s lies. Their uneasy alliance merged Viktor’s analytical brilliance with Joker’s underworld insights, united by skepticism toward official narratives. Mandated by the government to embed scientists within fire brigades, Viktor joined Company 8 under dual pretenses: advancing Haijima’s interests while covertly aiding Joker’s intelligence network. His tactical innovations—repurposing Infernal ash into explosives, devising battlefield diversions—earned begrudging trust from comrades. Obsessed with the Adolla Burst phenomenon, he fixated on Shinra Kusakabe, dissecting the pyrokinetic’s abilities to refine combat strategies like flame compression and the Tiger Gesture. During pivotal operations, Viktor straddled clandestine agendas and overt alliances. In Asakusa, he engineered timed detonations to breach enemy lines; at Vulcan’s Workshop, he evacuated wounded allies mid-siege. The Netherworld incursion revealed his analytical ruthlessness—mapping White-Clad hideouts while urging tactical withdrawal from Sho’s Severed Universe, deeming it insurmountable until countermeasures emerged. Haijima’s leadership grew wary as Viktor’s independent probes exposed corporate secrets, notably connecting Amaterasu’s energy core to Adolla Burst users. Tasked with baiting Shinra into a trap, he instead became a liability, marked for elimination. His loyalty defied categorization, prioritizing empirical truth over institutional fealty or personal bonds, though his collaboration with Company 8 occasionally softened his clinical detachment. Methodical to a fault, Viktor logged daily biometrics with laboratory precision, approaching combat with cautious calculation. Yet when necessity demanded, he confronted threats like the Ashen Flame leader head-on, masking risk-taking beneath a veneer of cowardice. While camaraderie with Company 8 complicated his mission, his resolve to decode humanity’s combustion crisis and the Adolla realm’s enigmas remained unshaken, a scientist perpetually balancing scales between observer and participant.
