Background: here

Personality:
- Sadist: Takes pleasure and exerting power over those he victimizes. While Roman might ask him to “pretty please remove the skin from their faces” in some instances, it’s obvious (by the look of orgasmic joy on his face literally removing the facial expression from another) Victor doesn’t have a gun to his head. Killing someone with a knife is an extremely intimate form of murder, one Victor clearly enjoys and prefers to guns, with how up personal becomes. Throughout the film, he takes obvious pleasure in witnessing someone else’s suffering either by his own hand or when his obsession, Roman, is orchestrating it.

            His sadism even extends into masochism by marking each kill upon his body with a single “tally-mark” scar. A nice little reminder to literally mark the occasion.

- Psychopath: Quite literally, Victor’s emotional range seems to vary from cold aloofness to quiet jealousy, only if, however, his obsession is threatened to be removed from him. Victor is shown to possess little empathy and display extreme antisocial behavior. One example of this is that when it is revealed a child ate the diamond Roman desired he didn’t even think about waiting for it to pass through her system. His immediate plan of action had been to cut it from her in order to deliver it to Roman faster while, at the same time, testing his much more compassionate partner, Dinah Lance’s, resolve and loyalty.

           He shows little regard for the discomfort of those around him, laughing at a woman’s humiliation while everyone stared in horror as Roman had her forcibly stripped in front of dozens. The only time Victor shows any other emotion, which is jealousy, it is when his prized possession, Roman’s attention, is taken away from him. It causes him to act out childishly, for example banging his head against a chair, until he gets it back.

- Controlling: Doesn't like to be the one without the keys to the castle, you see. Even though Victor is shown to happily let Roman boss him around, the man makes it clear Black Mask isn't the only one swinging the bat in the gang. He easily forces himself into situations that do not involve him, such as when Dinah Lance is sent by Roman to retrieve the coveted Bertinelli diamond, when Roman originally had placed him in charge of finding Harley Quinn. Because that errand put Dinah smack-dab in the middle of Roman's spotlight, Victor quickly pushed Dinah aside by taking over said task. It is shown through small, pointed actions throughout his appearance, for example taking the diamond immediately from Dinah despite her being the one to fetch it. Another example is when he easily soothes and manipulates Roman during one of his melt-downs by redirecting his anger onto another person (most often a woman, in the case of Cassandra and Erica).

- Jealousy: Birds of a feather flock together, even arrogant, pig-headed ones. While Roman's jealousy is much more open and outwardly expressed, Victor seems to have it in just as many, if not more quiet, spades. His jealousy, however, does not focus around material or power, it instead centers around Roman's attention. As mentioned, whenever he is not the center of Roman's world, Victor is shown to react childishly by throwing his own small "tantrums" in order to get it refocused on to him. This reveals itself perfectly by his continual attempts to oversee and controlling Roman's meetings with Dinah, whom Roman has a certain amount of fondness towards. He tries to send her away when she's late for a meeting, he openly mocks her when Roman promotes her, he's even troubled by the realization that someone would even think to betray their boss. 

Weaknesses/Temptations:
- Roman Sionis: The man, the myth, the looks-obsessed, organized-crime boss. Yes, Victor’s weakness is a singular, terrible man. One that he willingly would die again for and, even worse, would keep his dead body around if ever given the chance. If someone holds Roman over his head they might as well be holding a knife to Victor’s throat, he will do anything for his old boss in life and, more importantly, death.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: 1,2,3,4,5...Victor’s body is marred by a tally-mark scar among tally-mark scar. Each one correlates to a life he’s ended, never before. Being extremely particular about his trophy-making when it comes to placing scars on his person, Victor is very adept on making sure that count is accurate. If it isn’t? Well, he will be driven to a frantic panic to right such a mistake. Unfortunately, killing some random person will not do. Each scar is particular to the corresponding victim so he will hunt down his runaway survivor until the deed is finally done.
- Low Intelligence: He tries his best, really he does. But after years of drug abuse and, frankly, self-mutilation to the nth degree, ol’ Vic struggles a bit with vocabulary. Roman, thankfully, is usually there to correct whatever mispronunciation or grammatical error he makes. However, as much as he tries, your boy still slips up and does it almost hourly in a way that makes his wrong pronunciation of “capitulation” beginner’s play. Or is it child’s play? Fuck.

Sins: Wrath, envy, greed, lust, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, third-degree murder, aggravated assault and battery, armed robbery, assaulting a federal officer, assassination, arson, blackmail, bribery, drug abuse violations, extortion, homicide, hostage-taking, illegal possession of firearms, embezzlement, importation of drugs, injuring an officer, larceny, manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, money laundering, narcotics violation, obstruction of justice, obstruction of criminal investigations, perjury, possession of narcotics, retaliating against a witness, victim, or informant, robbery, serial murder, torture, trespassing, desecration of corpses, necrophilia

Powers/Abilities:
- Knife mastery: Is extremely proficient with knives and has a lot of experience with skinning and dismembering people.
- Expert marksman: Was able to shoot Harley with a tranquilizer dart before she could react from across the room. He was also capable of spraying down a family with a machine gun and seems to be adept with other types of firearms.
- Expert torturer: Is an expert interrogator and takes deep pleasure in the torture and murder of his victims. Suffice to say, it would be prudent for his victims to spill the beans before anything happens to them.

Items:
- Curved Folding Knife: Given to him by Roman making it his most treasured possession. He never goes anywhere without it, so of course, it winds up in his jacket pocket after arriving.
- Silver Chain Necklace: Dainty little silver necklace he wears under his clothes. It’s an odd little number in contrast to Victor’s rather aloof and aggressive role as Roman’s attack dog. Perhaps it symbolizes the collar Roman’s been able to slide around his throat.
