Victor Lynch (unknown – 1868) was a British Templar and one of the seven gang leaders that controlled all of London's boroughs around 1868.
Biography
Victor Lynch was born into an extremely wealthy family, allowing him to use his family's money to finance his life, eliminating his need to work. He spent most of his free time experimenting with dangerous chemicals, which was the only thing that kept boredom at bay.
Due to these experiments, Lynch became known throughout the Strand as someone who was to be feared, since he cared more about the results of his experiments than he did about the people around him.
The Grand Master of the Templar Order, Crawford Starrick, chose Lynch to be one of the seven leaders of the Blighters, a street gang dominating London's streets, giving Lnych control over the Strand, where he proved himself to be a passionate leader.
In 1868, the twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye arrived in the city, and started working with Henry Green to free London from the Templars that had held it for decades. With the help of the Rooks, they fought the Blighters in the Strand, eventually leading up to a gang war.
Despite his electric-chemical bombs, Victor Lynch was bested in combat and killed, ending his reign over the borough.
