Biography
Viktor was born on 1990 to Drago and Ludmilla, just as the Soviet Union was dissolved a year later. Having been disgraced for killing Apollo Creed in the ring and being defeated by Rocky Balboa in Moscow back in 1985, Drago felt that it was time to ensure that he should bring honor back to the Drago name, even when Ludmilla divorced Drago afterwards. As such, Drago raised Viktor to become a fierce boxer like himself.

During the events of the film, upon hearing that Apollo's son Adonis has won the World Heavyweight Championship (with the help from an elderly Rocky), Drago decided that it would be time for himself for Viktor to take action. As such, Viktor publicly challenges Adonis to a fight, swearing to break him and take the title for himself in order to avenge his father's defeat. Of course, Rocky refused to train Adonis for the fight as he feared that he would suffer the same fate as Apollo did, but Adonis proceed to accept the fight.

During the first match, Viktor was able to pound off Adonis with all his strength, as Adonis was suffering through recent developments in his life. This allowed Viktor to finally punch Adonis down, but this only gets him disqualified from the ring, resulting Adonis to remain as the current holder of the title. However, Vitkor's beating left Adonis extremely shattered, prompting Adonis' stepmother Mary Anne to convince Rocky to go back.

Because of the disqualification, Drago is forced to set up a rematch between Viktor and Adonis, with Viktor publicly taunting Adonis being being told by his father to save his rage for the fight. To ensure that Viktor wins, Drago puts Viktor through a series of suffering physical tests to build up his strength.

The rematch is considerably more balanced as a more controlled and focused Adonis exchanges equal blows with Viktor, allowing himself to gain the upper hand on Vitkor. When Ludmilla departs away from the scene in disgust, this left Viktor emotionally overwhelmed by his mother's departure, losing his will to fight of defend himself. Upon witnessing this and realizing now that Viktor will suffer the same fate as Apollo, Drago is forced to throw in the towel to prevent Viktor from being seriously injured of killed, resulting Adonis to win the fight. Viktor is left distraught over the events, but is comforted by Drago, who resolves that his relationship with Vitkor is more important than his former glory.

Viktor is last seen returning to Ukraine with his father, having recuperated from his pain as they continued training with each other.
