Viktor Licht, born March 14, measures 187.236 cm tall and weighs 72.358 kg. A top Imperial University of Tokyo graduate, he authored a thesis on Spontaneous Human Combustion. Joining Haijima Industries propelled him to head incendiary research, where he published further work. His appearance features a large, dark-brown curly afro, drowsy eyes lacking visible pupils, and a signature outfit: a white lab coat over a red-and-white striped vest, dark-green trousers, and red-and-blue sneakers. Upon joining Special Fire Force Company 8, he adopted standard bunker gear but initially forewent the helmet. Licht embodies the "mad scientist" archetype, self-identifying as a "weirdo" and placing scientific curiosity above social conventions. His excitable, meticulous nature manifests in unconventional actions like crawling on floors to scrutinize phenomena. Driven to uncover the truth behind Spontaneous Human Combustion and the Adolla Burst, he disregards ethical boundaries or loyalties obstructing his research. Despite initial distrust from allies, he demonstrates genuine concern for teammates like Shinra Kusakabe, warning them of lethal battle risks. Licht maintains pragmatism, collaborating with any faction—including adversaries—if it advances his understanding of the Adolla realm. Lacking pyrokinetic abilities, Licht compensates with exceptional intellect and analytical prowess. He excels in chemistry, crafting explosives from Infernal remains and devising strategic fire containment and combat plans. His expertise encompasses identifying patterns in Infernal outbreaks and reverse-engineering phenomena like Adolla Links. Licht provides tactical mission support, calculating optimal escape routes or developing training methods to enhance allies' abilities, such as Shinra's flame-compression technique. A key relationship exists with Joker, a vigilante exposing Tokyo Empire corruption. They formed a clandestine partnership rooted in mutual distrust of authorities; Licht supplied Joker with explosives and intelligence while acting as a double agent within Company 8. Initially embedded as a Haijima spy monitoring Shinra, Licht gradually developed authentic loyalty to Company 8, though he openly stated he would support any side aiding his truth pursuit. He maintained regular contact with Joker during investigations, exchanging critical findings on the White-Clad. Within Company 8, interactions ranged from suspicion—notably from Hibana—to collaborative respect, especially during crises. Licht first appeared supplying explosives to Joker for disrupting Company 8 operations. He later infiltrated Company 8 under Haijima orders, officially joining as a science officer during the Vulcan's Workshop arc. While assigned, he covertly aided Joker and analyzed Shinra's Adolla Burst. In the Netherworld arc, Licht forensically identified the White-Clad's hideout location and participated in the raid. Captured by enemies, he was rescued by Shinra and later coined the name "The Rapid" for Shinra's new ability. Licht played a pivotal role treating Shinra after critical injuries sustained battling Sho Kusakabe and Haumea. As conflicts escalated, he assisted in strategizing against the Evangelist's forces and contributed to efforts rescuing Captain Akitaru Obi post-arrest. His actions consistently balanced scientific objectives with emerging loyalties to his team.
