Victor Ellis

"Ladies, ever been with Grox burger salesman?"

- Victor trying to woo a female guard...while covered in blood.

Victor Ellis is currently an Imperial assassin operating in the Sephadollion Sector in the service of Inquisitor Cherrice Bauyon. With a penchant of method acting and assuming new identities, Victor has become a beneficial, if disturbingly deranged, acolyte.

Origins
"Mam...Mam! Wait wait wait! I appreciate the compliment but I'm not an assassin."

- Victor's recruitment into the inquisition.

Prior to his life as an imperial assassin, Victor was an actor upon the Glorious Bounty, a rogue trader ship for a relatively unimportant rogue trader. Victor was a fan of really "getting into character" as he put it, and would spend months or even years assuming the life of his latest part in a theatrical production. From obsessively tightening bolts when playing the tech-priest XVI Beta to bandaging underdeck injuries when assigned the role of Medicae officer Jaovac, Victor would become a new person when assigned a new role.

It was his portrayal of the Assassin 54-49 (known more famously as LIVIL) in the production of "Kronus on Ice", that sparked his downfall. Purchasing a set of tight leathers, a rifle and a pair of pistols, Victor spent 6 months taking contracts in the less reputable areas of the ship, killing relatively inconsequential criminals and learning how to develop the "killer's mindset".

During the final night of the production, Victor noticed a new face hidden in the audience. Thinking this stranger may be a talent scout and that he might be able to move onto bigger and better gigs, Victor poured his heart and soul into his latest role, ending the lives of the disposable extras with grace and accuracy.

As he gave his bow and the curtains closed, Victor was hit with a stun baton and dragged off the stage by several other unknown faces, who, before he slipped into unconsciousness, informed Victor that he had been "chosen for greater things".

When Victor awoke, he was informed he was required for a mission, involving three words: kill the governor. Terrified and confused, he tried to explain to his interrogator that he was not an assassin, and it was just a part he was playing.
