Victor Quartermaine

"I've spent a long time reeling in that fluffy-headed bunny lover, and I'm not about to let some puddle-headed peasant poach her from me!"

- Victor Quartermaine confronting Wallace

Lord Victor Quartermaine (simply known as Victor Quartermaine) is the main antagonist of Wallace &amp; Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. He is Wallace's arch-rival and Philip's owner.

He is voiced by Ralph Fiennes who also played Amon Goeth, Rameses, Francis Dolarhyde, Hades, and Voldemort.

Wallace &amp; Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Victor is a cocky, arrogant, rude, supercilious, and pompous poacher, who doesn't care about hunting laws or animals. He is Wallace's arch-rival in trying to win Lady Tottington's affection, as well as the job of getting rid of the rabbits that plague her yard. He cares nothing for her, all he wants is her money. So when the Were-Rabbit begins terrorizing the city's gardens, Victor Quartermaine offers to hunt and kill it with gold bullets. When he later finds out that the were-rabbit is in fact, Wallace, he takes it as an opportunity to get rid of his rival, and still tries to kill him. Even after Lady Tottington discovers his true plans, he still tries to kill Wallace. Eventually, Victor is chased away by a mob when Gromit put a huge rabbit costume on him, and the mob chases him away, thinking he is the Were-Rabbit.

Victor's fate is unknown, but one thing is for certain, he has never been seen or heard from since.

In a deleted scene, it is rumored he was run out of town.

Appearance
Victor is a slim man and is always seen wearing a trench coat and black boots. He also wears a black toupee to cover up his baldness which always has a habit of coming off in various ways such as getting sucked off by Wallace's machine The BV 6000. It also nearly gets blown off after Wallace turns into the Were Rabbit and he nearly blows it off. It comes off again after he is thrown over the Anti Pesto van. Finally it gets knocked off after Victor gets hit on the head and he gets a new head of hair after he goes head first into a Candy Floss Machine.

Trivia

 * He is similar to Governor Ratcliffe. They are both upper class people, both serve as the main antagonist and are greedy and pompous.
 * He is similar to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Prince Charming from the Shrek series. All three are arrogant jerks who believe themselves to be heroes, and want to kill the heroes (Shrek, the Were-Rabbit, and the Beast).
 * He is the first Wallace & Gromit villain in the films to speak.
 * He is also the first Wallace & Gromit villain to be human, as the others were robots (Cooker), animals (Feathers McGraw) or both (Preston).
 * Although all the Aardman villains are the same but Victor's similarity is nearly the same as Trumper from the new Aardman movie Shaun the Sheep: Movie. They in love with ladies and they despite animals (apart from Victor having a dog named Philip).
