  • Unfortunately Viktor's triumph was usurped by Professor Stanwick, who stole credit for Blitzcrank's creation.
• Viktor's research was later used to reconstruct and revive Urgot.
• From the Journal of Justice, Viktor is possibly the perpetrator who held Warwick in captivity: "The gutless vermin was a man, at least I think it was a man, wearing a Zaunite radiation suit. When he spoke, his voice was deep and robotic, like what you'd expect if Blitzcrank had a cold. He wasn't a robot though, he was a victim of a Zaunite bio-assault - or so I would guess."^[3]
• Viktor views Jayce, the charismatic inventor from Piltover, as an obstacle to his "glorious evolution". One that he must overcome.
  • Viktor defeated Jayce and stole a powerful arcane crystal to power his creations. Jayce later created the Mercury Hammer and counter assaulted Viktor's laboratory, destroying Viktor's prototype weapons.
