Viktor Licht

is a companion of Joker and the scientist of the 8th Special Fire Brigade.

Appearance
Victor is a young man with a large, dark-coloured curly afro, and drowsy, dark, large eyes. He dons a long white lab coat, with a black and white horizontally-striped vest underneath, black trousers and white shoes.

Personality
Victor is said to be a mad scientist. . He is interested in the matters of the Special Fire Brigades, as he personally looked into Akitaru's life before he became a Fire Officer and attended the Fire Officer Newcomer Tournament as a spectator. As a scientist, Victor is deeply interested in the Adora Burst, going as far as crawling on the floor and grabbing Shinra's feet to get a closer look. Though somewhat weird and creepy, he seems to be an intelligent, meticulous and curious man.

Introduction arc
Victor provides Joker with jars of explosive substance, which is later used to disrupt and intimidate the 8th Special Fire Brigade in the Iriya District. Later on, he spectates the Fire Officer Newcomer Tournament in the stands, alongside other important guests. The following day, Victor and Joker have a discussion about the events of the tournament and research on the 8th Special Fire Brigade.

Sixth arc
After being ordered by Haijima Heavy Industries, Victor abruptly shows up at the 8th Special Fire Fighting Church stating that because of the Preacher investigation, all Special Fire Brigades must have a reinforcement of scientists, and therefore declaring his addition to the 8th Special Fire Brigade.

After introducing himself, Shinra walks in the building, much to Victor's interest. He dashes to the floor and grabs Shinra's feet, questioning aloud where the Adora Burst is, but Hibana removes him from Shinra protectively. Victor is then asked what exactly is the Adora Burst, to which he goes on to explain how it has affected the world in a destructive manner, but how it can also be the world's savior. Shinra then asks Victor of Adora Link, to which he replies he has not heard of it, though is secretly lying, but is interested that Shinra knows what it is. Akitaru and Hibana then question Licht on why he wanted to join the 8th brigade, and as he explains his reasoning, he says he really wanted to join the 8th, leaving Akitaru unconvinced. As the 8th and Hibana discuss how they will confront Vulcan, Victor observes from a distance, simply intrigued by how they decide to confront Vulcan personally. Finally, he thinks to himself that maybe he can use the 8th to achieve Joker's objective.

Trivia

 * Victor bears a resemblance to Franken Stein, a character from Atsushi Ōkubo's previous work Soul Eater: both characters are both mad scientists who wear a lab coat, and their names allude to the character Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein.
