Victor von Gerdenheim

Victor von Gerdenheim was first introduced in Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (Vampire: The Night Warriors in Japan). He is based off of Frankenstein's monster from the classic horror film Frankenstein, which in turn was an adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel of the same name. In the game, Victor awakens to find his creator, Professor Von Gerdenheim. Another early creation of the Professor, Emily, also awakes, only to abruptly stop functioning some years later. Both Von Gerdenheim and Emily act as assist characters for Victor in Darkstalkers 3 (Vampire Savior in Japan). Victor has made several cameos outside of the series including Pocket Fighters and Capcom Fighting Evolution. He was featured in UDON's Darkstalkers series where he teams up and becomes friends with Donovan Baine to rescue Anita and Emily.
