Don't get so choked, you know I can't stand it. Anyway, it's cruel, waking Victor. He likes it where he is.

Biography

Early Life

Victor (along with his younger sister, Bronwyn,) lived in Miss Peregrine's Home at some point, but he wasn't too fond of it. His displeasure at the home prompted him to leave the loop, shortly after which he was murdered by a hollow. This deeply saddened everyone, especially Bronwyn and Miss Peregrine.

Death

SickVick

from the collection of Robert Jackson

Victor Bruntley was killed by hollowgast after leaving Miss Peregrine's loop when he "couldn't stand it any longer", as Emma explains to Jake. In an earlier chapter, it is revealed by Enoch that Victor's death is the reason that Miss Peregrine wears black, and is very strict on the matter. It is unsure how the peculiars retrieved his body. It can only be assumed Miss Peregrine had retrieved it.
