Victor Frankenstein

"I resign. I swore an oath that I would protect the Carpenter family. If Blacklight prevents me from doing that, then I can no longer be a part of it."

- Victor Frankenstein to Henry Seward

Victor Frankenstein, formerly known as Henry Victor and Victor Frankenstein's monster, was a werewolf and Colonel of Department 19.

Physical description
Frankenstein had grey-green skin and thick black hair which was cut short when meeting Jamie Carpenter, but grew long after he fell down the cliff in Lindisfarne. Also, he did not shave his beard after this incident, so it was long and scruffy for a while. His eyes, under his high, bulky forehead, were "misshapen" and two gate hooks poked out of every side of his throat. Frankenstein's also very tall and Jamie estimated his height to be around 2,20m.

During full moon, Frankensteins transformed into a huge werewolf with grey-green fur and yellow eyes. His skin underneath the fur also had a grey-green colour.

Basically he's butters

History
Department 19= Frankenstein was created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who later joined Department 19 as an Operator, in a scientific experiment.

During Sylvester 1928 and New Year 1929, Frankenstein met John Carpenter and befriended him. After John saved his live, Frankenstein promised John that he would always protect him and his descendants. Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein"=

As told by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein builds the creature in his laboratory through an ambiguously described scientific method consisting of chemistry (from his time as a student at University of Ingolstadt) and alchemy (largely based on the writings of Paracelsus, Albertus Magnus, and Cornelius Agrippa). The creature horrifies Frankenstein who disavows the experiment. Frightened, and unaware of his own identity, the monster wanders through the wilderness. He finds brief solace beside a remote cottage inhabited by a family of peasants. Eavesdropping, the creature familiarizes himself with their lives and learns to speak, whereby he becomes eloquent, educated, and well-mannered.

The creature eventually introduces himself to the family's blind father, who treats him with kindness. When the rest of the family returns, they drive him away. Hopeful but bewildered, the creature rescues a peasant girl from a river, but is shot in the shoulder by a man who claims her. He swears revenge on Frankenstein for abandoning him to such intolerance, and accordingly kills Victor's younger brother William. When Frankenstein retreats to the mountains, the monster approaches him at the summit and pleads for a female equivalent to mitigate his loneliness. Frankenstein agrees, but, aghast at the possibility of creating a race of monsters, abandons the agreement. In response, the creature kills Frankenstein's best friend, and later kills Frankenstein's bride; whereupon Frankenstein's father dies of grief. Searching for the creature in the Arctic Circle, the scientist falls into the freezing water, contracting severe pneumonia. A ship exploring the region encounters the dying Victor, who relates his story to the captain. Later, the creature boards the ship; but, upon finding his creator dead, is full of grief and pledges to incinerate himself at "the Northernmost extremity of the globe". He then departs, apparently never to be seen again.

Relationships
John= After John Carpenter saved his life in New York, in a party hosted by Valentin Rusmanov, Frankenstein sweared to protect John and all his descendants, for as long as he shall live. Julian= Julian Carpenter is Frankenstein's best friend. He even called him by the nickname "Frank." Jamie= Frankenstein protects Jamie Carpenter as part of the promise he made to John Carpenter, Jamie's grandfather. Frankenstein "died" whilst saving Jamie from a werewolf attack after the battle in Lindisfarne. Valentin= When he first met the ancient vampire, Frankenstein hated Valentin Rusmanov. But, after Jamie stopped talking to Frankenstein after the news of his father, Frankenstein's and Valentin's relationship grew, as they were now left without Jamie's friendship after Larissa's departure to America. Larissa= Frankenstein protects Larissa Kinley as he feels that she, Matt Browning and Kate Randall are all Jamie's "family."
