Biography

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Victor Quartermaine is a cocky, ignorant, pompous poacher, who doesn't care about hunting laws or about 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 gardens, 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 a 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 puts a huge rabbit costume on him, and the mob chases him away, thinking he is the Were-Rabbit.

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

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit Video Game

Victor Quartemaine and his dog Phillip appears as villains. In the game, they stole the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic valves, so that Hutch and the Were-Rabbit cannot return to normal. Also, Victor plans to use the valves, so that normal creatures will transform into were-creatures.

Appearance

Victor is a slim man and is always seen wearing a trench coat and boots. He also wears a 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 from Pocahontas. They are both upper class people, both serve as the main antagonist and can be said as being pompous.
• He is similar to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and Prince Charming from the Shrek series. All three are arrogant jerks who wanted to marry the women they are pursuing, and to kill the protagonists (Shrek, The Were-Rabbit/Wallace, and the Beast).
• Victor is the first Wallace & Gromit villain to speak.
  • He is also the first Wallace & Gromit villain to be human, as the others were either animals (Feathers McGraw) or robots (Preston).
• In a deleted scene, Victor was mentioned to have run out of town.
