Viktor Vektor

Viktor Vector, or Vik for short, is a ripperdoc in Cyberpunk 2077. His operating room is located behind Misty's shop. Talented, patient, and professional, Viktor has extended V's credit on a number of occasions, but never complains.

Biography
Viktor was once a heavyweight boxer in Watson, boxing in the Watson Boxing Grand Prix, but eventually came in 2nd place in the finals. but left that life behind, and has come to prefer the relatively straightforward life of a back-alley ripperdoc. He continues to watch boxing matches avidly. His shop sees a steady amount of traffic thanks to a local fixer who insists on outfitting her mercs with the latest implants. He comes to know V and Jackie Welles well over the first six months of their career as mercs.

When V comes to Viktor for implants for an upcoming heist planned by Dexter DeShawn, Viktor accepts an IOU from V and gives them both a grip and a new Kiroshi implant. V is overwhelmed by the unexpected generosity, but Viktor claims it is an investment to make sure that V returns alive to pay off the €$21,000 they now owe him. Should V later return to pay off that debt, Viktor tries to refuse it and argues V can make better use of the cash, but V insists on giving him his due.

After V is brought to Viktor by Takemura following Dexter's betrayal, Viktor has to break the news that the Relic inside V is slowly overwriting their mind with Johnny Silverhand's engram. Worse, as skilled as Viktor is, he has no means of saving V, and can only continue to offer his support as a ripperdoc.

Viktor attends Jackie's ofrenda, and leaves a pair of boxing gloves as an offering, explaining that Jackie was the first person he trained who managed to knock him out in one hit.

Development
"When technology became advanced, cyberware became common. This is why people in Night City need ripperdocs. Ripperdocs are medical technicians -- half doctors, half engineers. They can patch you up in no time, stitching your gut after it has been slashed open and tending to bullet wounds. And if your tech is broken, they can either fix it or install new, illegal wares. Viktor is a master of both -- the scalpel and the screwdriver. Having been a ringside physician for years, he sure has enough experience."
