The Professor passed away soon after Victor became animated. Not knowing the professor was no longer alive, Victor came to the conclusion that the Professor didn't approve of him. To solve this problem Victor decided to leave the castle and show the world he was the strongest. After he had fought many of the Darkstalkers, he came back to his home. Instead of finding an excited Professor, Victor found Emily who welcomed her as she had recently become activated. For many years the two lived happily together until one night Emily stopped functioning. Victor believed that if he went to Jedah's dimension, Majigen, he could collect enough souls to make Emily function once more. In the end he could only give up his own life to bring Emily back.FamilyAbout Emily Victor and Emily playing in Victor's Night Warriors ending. Emily was Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim's first real experiment and during this experiment he did tests on real human cadavers. Emily was a prototype and as such she couldn't create electricity which was needed to keep her animated. She could only be activated once. The professor was unsuccessful many times before finally reaching a new step in his research by animating Emily. Sadly, Emily could only become alive with the flow of constant electricity. Her body could only move for short periods of time but the Professor was more than excited that he was closer to his goal of creating new life. After he worked on Emily the Professor began work on designing Victor, who could create electricity on his own. To allow for this the Professor had to create a bigger body. No one knows how Emily became active again and move much like Victor does. It may have been because of the enormous amount of electricity within Victor that flowed into Emily. Emily's body was also able to store this electricity after this accident. About the Doctor Victor and the Professors Skeleton. Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim, his career and research had all been deemed inhumane or unethical to the council which managed the medical academic research. Many had believed he was even dangerous. The Professors key region of study was revival of dead cells, which was a relatively new topic to the medical academy. Many believed the Professor to be weird but soon some began to spread rumors that he was a drug addict or someone who chased after being a celebrity. After these rumors became rampant the council grew suspicious of Gerdenheim. With the power the council held they kept Gerdenheim silent until everyone had forgotten about him. The professor didn't do his research to become famous. To him it was more beneficial that society ignored his work. He moved his things to an old hospital in a small country town were he would spend his time in a hidden underground laboratory. His goal was to create life and according to his work; with the right materials and electrical power he might be able to prove his work once and for all. He would go to any length to get the needed materials including chemicals and medicine. The professor had spent 20 years in isolation which eventually drove him mad. Before his death he would spend most of his time working on Victor. His writing and research materials became hard to read as he would use mysterious symbols and characters in place of letters. Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim's work on creating life may lie beyond the Darkness. About the Professors WorksCurrently, there are only a few pieces and books written by the professor that are left. These pieces are hard to find. The work contained research on reactivation of electromagnetic waves and cells, new boundaries between life and death. Some also included Arkane's Theorem about research that Gerdenheim had done on spiritual energy, the principles of brain wave phenomenon that appears under certain conditions, the future of studying revival and parts one and two of uncut reports done by Professor Lugendreih who was head authority on organic cell research. Character DevelopmentOriginal Concepts One of Victor's concept drawings that was more akin to the Universals Frankenstein. Victor's appearance during his creation was largely based on Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and the movie based on her novel that came out in 1931. Victor's appearance during his creation rangers from being heavily influenced by the Universal Studio's 1931 film and more original characters with more of a robotic twist. Most of the retained themes in the concept art were bolts protruding from his head or neck and stitches while others seemed to stray from this. Other concepts Concept art of Victor with wires exposed One concept of Victor was of a hunched over bulky creature with wires going from his back to his shoulders and slightly resembling Bane from the Batman series. Other concepts had featured heavy stitches, some featured bolts that acted to replace the stitches. Others had Victory with a more metal appearance.Game BiographiesDarkstalkers: The Night Warriors Darkstalkers Artwork Title: Crusher CorpseStory: Victor is the creation of the mad doctor Von Gerdenheim.
