Victor was once the leader of the Alchemy Warriors 100 years ago. Originally, Victor used a regular kakugane until he sacrificed himself to kill the leader of the homunculus of that era. In order to save him, his wife Alexandria transferred Black kakugane 'I' into his heart. However, the power went berzerk and Victor killed everyone in the lab, as well as critically injuring Alexandria. Victor was then forced to flee his home, pursued by Alchemy Warriors and the Homunculus group lead by his own daughter, Victoria, who was also turned into a Homunculus against her own will. Victor managed to destroy a large portion of both forces before he fled to Japan, where he met Chōno Bakushaku, before he became Dr. Butterfly. The two men then struck a bargain; if Victor gave Dr. Butterfly his knowledge of Alchemy, Dr. Butterfly would heal Victor in return. After 100 years, the plan succeeded; Victor was healed and re-appeared in LXE's Ginsei Highschool attack. He managed to kill Kazuki once more, by crushing the Sunlight Heart with his Buso Renkin, Fatal Attraction, this damaged Kazuki's kakugane, and by doing so, Victor caused black kakugane 'III' to awaken, he and Kazuki soon went into a battle, but both warriors soon ran out of energy and Victor was forced to retreat. Afterwards, he traveled around the world, abosrbing large amounts of energy from locations such as New York, Paris, and even the Arctics. Eventually he was forced into the Pacific ocean, where he evolved from stage 2 to stage 3, and battled Sakaguchi Showusei's Buso Renkin, the Buster Baron, however, he used the corpses of ocean creatures, whose energy he had absorbed, and single-handedly destroyed Buster Baron with his own Buso Renkin, the war-axe, Fatal Attraction. He confronted Kazuki then, with Kazuki forcing White kakugane 'II' into his body. However, White kakugane 'II' was only able to revert him back from stage 3 to stage 2. As a last resort, Kazuki used the Sunlight Heart + and sent both of them to the Moon.  (Source: Wikipedia)

The story begins when high school student Kazuki Muto is killed one night saving a mysterious girl from a monster, only to wake up in his school dorm, believing it to have been a dream. However, he soon finds out that dream wasn't a dream at all when a giant serpentine monster attacks him and his sister. Tokiko Tsumura, the girl he saved, explains that the monster is a homunculus. Kazuki had been attacked and killed by it when he was rescuing her. However, she, feeling responsible for him, revived him by placing a Kakugane medallion in his chest, serving as a replacement heart.<br><br>
The Kakugane, as Tokiko explains, is an alchemical device that, when activated, takes a certain form based on the Kakugane's user, forming a unique Buso Renkin. The Buso Renkin is the only thing that can destroy a homunculus monster. Using this, Kazuki creates his own Buso Renkin (the "Sunlight Heart", a huge lance). Along with Tokiko and her own Buso Renkin (the "Valkyrie Skirt", an execution scythe), Kazuki joins the fight against the homunculi and their master.

Buso Renkin is the story of teenager Kazuki Muto, who dies trying to save a girl who was being attacked by an eerie monster. The next morning, however, Kazuki is left wondering whether it was all a dream. Lo and behold, the girl, the monster, and his death are all real! The girl, Tokiko Tsumura, was actually trying to slay the homunculus (a beast that can take the form of humans, but whose main source of food is people), but Kazuki got in her way. To revive Kazuki, Tokiko replaces his heart with a "kakugane," an alchemic device that allows him to summon a lance with which to fight the monsters. It turns out that Tokiko is a member of Renkin Kenshi (Alchemist Soldiers), an organization sworn to protect the world from the diabolical creatures. Soon, Kazuki joins Tokiko in her quest to terminate the sinister being that creates and controls the homunculus.
