Viktor Stein

Viktor Stein is the reanimated undead creature created by Victor Frankenstein, and the father of Frankie Stein He is a main character in the Monster High book series, and is occasionally mentioned in the webisodes and diaries.

Personality
Far from the primitive, monosyllabic creature he is usually depicted as, Viktor is a very intelligent mad scientist, who has not only created Frankie and her pet Watzit but also regularly works with other mad scientists to solve the world's problems. Outside of his work, Viktor is pretty much a typical dad and family man, both doting and protective when it comes to his family, and often making jokes, such as yelling "It's alive!" when Frankie comes down for breakfast. He tends to be somewhat frugal though, such as using cheap thread to stitch himself and Frankie together.

In the book series, Viktor is a professor at a local university, and is also researching a way to replace lost limbs for amputees. Like the other monsters families who live in Radcliffe Way, he needs to disguise himself as a human using make-up to cover his skin.

Appearance
Viktor appears to be a traditional depiction of Frankenstein's creature, a large undead human with green skin, stitched together limbs and bolts in his neck which allow him to charge himself with electricity. In the book series, Frankie describes him as looking similar to Arnold Schwartzenegger. He wears suits and tracksuits which help hide his stitches.

Family
Viktor was created by Viktor Frankenstein, whom he considers as a father. However, sometime after his creation, the two had some kind of falling out (perhaps due to the events of Mary Shelly's book) and Viktor cut ties and set out on his own. To this day, he still bears some resentment toward Frankenstein (as seen in Freaky Fusion.

Several years later, Viktor met (or created) his wife Vikeka, and sometime after that, they moved to Salem and created Frankie.

Friends
Viktor is close acquaintances with many monsters in Salem, including Dracula and the Wolf family. Frankie's School's Out diary mentions that he regularly meets his friends at the local die-ner.
