Template:Infobox Support Character
Victor Donovan (勝者.ドノバン, Victor Donoban) is the leader of the DOATEC anti-Douglas faction and is head of the Development Department, a state of the art military fortress where ALPHA and OMEGA were developed.
Though he does not appear physically in the games, Dead or Alive: Dimensions will be his first appearance to explain his motives.
History
Dead or Alive
In the first Dead or Alive, Donovan employed the Russian assassin Bayman to kill DOATEC's chairman, Fame Douglas. This attempt is thought to have been successful, as Douglas died shortly after the event. The nature of Donovan's rebellion is thought to be controversy over experiments to be carried out to create an ultimate DOA fighter. This means that Donovan is responsible for Projects Epsilon, ALPHA-152, and OMEGA.
Dead or Alive 3
In Dead or Alive 3 Donovan captures Helena, Fame Douglas' daughter, since she stands to inherit her father's position as chairman of DOATEC. He challenges Helena to win the DOA3 tournament in order to gain her freedom and learn the truth behind the company. He also employs the assassin Christie to keep an eye on her.
Meanwhile, Bayman seeks revenge after Donovan plotted his assassination to tie up any loose ends.
Donovan is thought to be behind experiments such as Project Epsilon to which Hayate was subjected, the cloning of Kasumi, and the augmentation of Ayane's foster father Genra into the ultimate DOA fighter Omega.
Dead or Alive 4
In Helena's ending of Dead or Alive 4, Ryu is shown destroying a ship with a man who may or may not be Donovan. For a time there was some speculation that Donovan also appeared on the front cover of the Dead or Alive 4 video game case, but this theory was debunked when players realized it was Zack wearing the same costume from Helena's ending.
