personality:

Viktor’s core personality is that of a driven, innovative, altruistic scientist and he is also one of the more grounded, realists in the show. Just like most people Viktor has his faults and Viktor’s come from his unending and abundant altruism and the want and need to help others. It fuels his passion and love for science and eventually hextech which he hopes in the future will be used for good and to make the world a better place. Early in the season, it makes him the more guiding of the two between himself and Jayce, often steering the other man towards the choice that is right regardless of the thoughts of others. Another thing about Viktor is that due to his place in the world, Viktor hardly shows his true inner emotions and is often seen as a stoic and reserved individual. However, when he does express himself he’s often seen as being rather direct, joking, and sarcastic often at times lacking in reading/understanding social cues due to his introverted nature stemming from his childhood. Viktor's personality is also a product of his circumstances. Growing up in Zaun with a disability, and now living in Piltover where they know his roots are from Zaun causes friction between Viktor and most people in Piltover. He is considered lesser by the vast majority of people there and is often overlooked and disregarded in general which has led to his reserved nature. His being overlooked leads to another fault, his ambition and driven nature. Both of these lead him to not only want to do more but to be more in the sense that he has a legacy for himself when all is said and done.

However, his ambition and driven nature lead to a recklessness that causes him to go to drastic lengths sometimes to achieve his goals such as overworking himself until he collapses, stealing Jayce's notes, breaking into Heimerdinger's lab, and even going so far as to use Shimmer on himself in hopes to give himself more time before his illness catches up to him. With mentioning of his death it’s also his fear of dying without a legacy coupled with his recklessness that leads to the untimely death of Sky, something that Viktor himself cannot reconcile with and was going to take his own life over. As someone who has been reckless before and has not suffered the consequences of his actions, this was a very big wake-up call for him as his actions didn’t just affect him but killed someone else.

Viktor’s resentfulness/anger is another trait we see throughout the season. He resents the fact that The Council refuses to help his people in Zaun, and he resents Heimerdinger for trying to stop Jayce and him from giving their inventions to the world as a means of helping. But most of all he resents the fact that Jayce seems to choose Mel’s words over his own to use Hextech as a weapon.

Viktor's personality also stems from the fact that he’s been different his entire life and has always been at odds with how people perceive him, especially in Piltover, but also in Zaun. Singed refers to them both as 'being outcasts together' specifically because of Viktor's disability. But this difference creates Viktor's resilient, and confident nature where he has no choice but to believe in himself because no one else will. This also leads to him being a bit prideful and arrogant. However, when having to contend with things like his disease and disability we see subtle instances of him having self-deprecation, insecurity, and even hatred towards himself due to these facts.
