History[]
Victor is the artistic director of the Zagreb ballet in Yugoslavia (now Croatia). He has a privileged position in his country, what makes him a very powerful and influential man. Purist and conservative, he despises any outside influences, especially those from American people, and believes that new forms of art should be dismissed (like music from bands like Jem and The Holograms).
When The Holograms and Danse visited Yugoslavia to shoot their new music video with the Zagreb ballet, much against his will, Victor had to receive them for diplomatic reasons, though not without showing his evident disapproval. However, when he met Danse, or more properly, Giselle Dvorak, and saw her rehearsing on stage, he immediately recognized her as the daughter of Nadia Dvorak, a famous Yugoslav ballerina he performed with many years ago and who he managed to ruin her relationship with her husband, Peter, to force her into dedicating the rest of her life only to her dancing career.
When he saw that Giselle had inherited the same beauty, talent and personality as her mother's, he tried to repeat what he attempted to do many years before: force her to remain at the ballet and forget about everything else... even love.
Vera, a former prima ballerina, can usually be seen helping Victor to achieve his mischievous plans.
