Viktor's character is highly debatable in the series. Despite being painted as the villain in LoL, he is shown in a much more positive light in Arcane.
Who is Viktor? This question must have popped into the heads of fans of the show. Being one of the mainstream anime series ever since its release, every League of Legends player wants to get into the series quickly. Since Arcane is set in the same universe as LoL, several characters such as Vi, Jinx, Vander, and many more can be seen. Most Arcane watchers came from League of Legends, and both follow the same lore to some extent.
Arcane serves as the predecessor to League of Legends lore. However, the characters in the anime appear pretty different from how players have seen them in the game.
Who is Viktor?
Viktor is the assistant to the dean of the academy. Viktor told Jayce to turn up to the authorities, and his experiments to create magic were exposed. Performing experiments on magic was forbidden by the council and, indeed, a punishable action. As a result, he is expelled from the academy, but Viktor realizes that Jayce's experiment can be used to have quite a significant impact on society. Despite Heimerdinger considering magic dangerous for the world and advising to destroy traces of Jayce's experiment, Viktor and Jayce break into his lab and prove his theory about magic correct.
Is Viktor good or bad?
Jayce and Viktor were colleagues in the beginning, and Viktor is unarguably portrayed as a pleasant person who stops Jayce from committing suicide. Viktor is a smart and ambitious guy who wants to impact society and do the greater good for its people.
Is Viktor Evil in League of Legends?
Viktor in League of Legends is often described as an anti-hero rather than an outright villain. However, some players perceive him as a man who wants to serve society but will take the dark path if necessary. Viktor, also known as The Machine Herald, will use any method to achieve his goals.
How does Viktor become the Machine Herald?
Being an idealist, Viktor dreams of developing a mechanical future as it could help many lives. However, being surrounded by his ambitionless colleagues who constantly drag him down, he realizes his emotions are the only thing hindering him.

As the feelings inside Viktor die, Machine Herald becomes a villain in League of Legends.
