Early in life, Viktor discovered his
passion for science and invention, particularly in the field of mechanical
automation. He attended Zaun's prestigious College of Techmaturgy and led the
team thatructed Blitzcrank - a scientific breakthrough that he expected to
vault him to the top of his profession. Unfortunately his triumph was usurped
by Professor Stanwick, who stole credit for developing Blitzcrank's sentience
and later used Viktor's research to revive Urgot. Viktor's appeals for justice
fell on deaf ears, and he sank into a deep depression. He withdrew from the
College and barricaded himself in his private laboratory, cutting all human
ties. There, in secret, he conceived a project for which nobody else could
claim credit. Desiring both to revolutionize his field and to eliminate the
jealous human emotions which festered inside him, he engineered parts to
replace and improve his own body.When Viktor re-emerged, almost no trace of the
original man remained. Not only had he supplanted the majority of his anatomy,
but his personality had changed. His previous hope to better society was
replaced by an obsession with what he called ''the glorious evolution.'' He saw
himself as the patron and pioneer of Valoran's future – a future in which man
would renounce his flesh in favor of superior hextech augmentations. Though
Viktor's initial appeals were met with heavy skepticism, scientists were
confounded by the sophistication of his machinery. By integrating his mind with
techmaturgical devices, he had been able to drastically accelerate the progress
of his research. His transformation had stripped him of what he perceived as
his emotional weaknesses, but there was some lingering residue of resentment
against the Professor. Viktor joined the League of Legends to pit his
inventions against the greatest opponents Valoran could offer, and to correct
any weaknesses or inefficiencies that remained.''In one's hand, techmaturgy is
a tool. As one's hand, it is
liberation.''
