Victor Talbot

Victor Talbot (ヴィクター・タルボット) is one of the Advenna Avis immortals and, during the 1930s, an agent of the government body now known as the FBI. He and a select group of subordinates deal with all cases involving immortals. He is responsible for Huey's arrest, which implies he does not show favoritism towards his fellow immortals. In the novel The Rolling Bootlegs, two subordinates of a person implied to be Victor are seen investigating Szilard's brewing operation. Victor's subordinates are also seen investigating the Flying Pussyfoot incident in 1931. In 1934, he arranges the arrest of Firo Prochainezo and Isaac Dian so that Firo can investigate Huey's activities in jail. The following year he takes a more drastic action against the Martillo Family.

Personality
His dialogue with Firo in 1934 presents him as short-tempered, arrogant, and somewhat immature. He expresses a vehement personal hatred towards all criminals, and shows no qualms about psychologically manipulating Firo or threatening him with violence. In the prologue of the same novel, Nile, another 1711 immortal, states that Victor is not naturally the type of person to fixate on rules, but holds a deep conviction that law is necessary for the greater good and must be rigorously enforced, even at the cost of some individual freedom.

Victor is someone who is very upfront about himself, his flaws and believes that deep down he remains human at heart. He react to anger at some instances even when unjustified, or simply because of pure spite. When one of his knew subordinates answered his question correctly, he proclaims anger at him being right as it stopped him from being able to put them in their place, and instead gave the impression of him as a man who embraces his flaws as opposed to hiding them.

For someone who is a part of a secret agency he has no mind about concealing his own identity making him one of the easiest immortals to track and gather information on which contradicts how Szilard was unable to find and devour him if so, but it is possible that Szilard is intimidated by Victor the same way that he was by Huey. At times he seems like an idiot, and at others a very intelligent man so much so that one person who investigated him proclaimed that he was an idiot who made up for his stupidity with his own genius, which his partner found contradictory and he himself readily agreed to this contradiction.

The immortal whom Ennis devoured before she turned against Szilard was his best friend, and as such he has a grudge against her, although he has stated that killing her in vengeance would violate his principles. Furthermore he is unwilling to let his fellow immortals get away with things that are either illegal or immoral (or both) willing to lock away Huey Laforet, and even put Maiza on his list of criminals despite still considering him a friend as he needed to be questioned for information. When Huey's machinations almost cost him some subordinates he cursed himself for not devouring Huey when he had the chance, but still did not make good on such a threat.

Unlike some of the other immortals who have given up alchemy for different reasons Victor remains an alchemist at heart, and appreciates ingenuity and creativity. With the creation of Cellophane Tape, at first he wondered why he himself did not think of it, but it quickly passed and now he uses it in his everyday life.
