Viktor grew up in Zaun's Entresol level, where his passion for invention and automation flourished. Driven by frequent industrial accidents in his homeland, he developed safety innovations that eliminated workplace accidents, catching the attention of Professor Stanwick from Piltover's prestigious academy.

At Piltover's academy, Viktor worked alongside Jayce, forming a competitive but respectful relationship. During a major chemical spill in Zaun, Viktor created Blitzcrank, an intelligent automaton that helped save many lives. However, upon returning to Piltover, he discovered Professor Stanwick had claimed credit for Blitzcrank's creation.

This betrayal, combined with growing philosophical differences about human enhancement, led to Viktor's expulsion from the academy after he developed controversial technology to control diving suit operators. Returning to Zaun, Viktor underwent extensive self-modification, replacing most of his flesh with machinery to eliminate what he saw as human weakness.

Viktor's transformation marked the beginning of his "Glorious Evolution" philosophy - a vision where humanity would transcend its flaws through technological augmentation. He continued his work in Zaun, helping injured citizens with mechanical augmentations, though his solutions often came with unexpected consequences.

A confrontation with Jayce over a powerful Shuriman crystal culminated in the destruction of Viktor's laboratory and the loss of several patients he was trying to save. This event only strengthened his resolve to pursue his vision of humanity's technological evolution.

Today, Viktor continues his work in Zaun, pushing the boundaries of human enhancement while seeking to perfect his innovations. Though some view him as a messiah, he remains focused solely on advancing his vision of humanity's future through technological evolution, free from emotional constraints and human error.

His story serves as a complex tale of good intentions, betrayal, and transformation, raising questions about the nature of progress and the price of perfection. While his methods are often controversial, Viktor's ultimate goal remains the advancement of humanity through technology, regardless of the personal cost.
