Biography[]
Victor is a thrill seeking 10 year old Rhino child, like most rhinos he is tough and self centered but he means well nonetheless. He is great friends with the Triplets and often goes on adventures with them. In his first appearance in Witch's Potion, where he, Pom and Alexander crossed the gorge even when they weren't supposed to. When the family were going to Rhinoland for the annual dinner, they discovered a cavern but got lost, even though Victor said his Rhino sense was keen, but it wasn't. Victor does at times show his competitive side, especially at the Father Son race, but when he found out that his Dad cheated, he started to cry because while he did want to win, he did not want to win dishonestly1. In the end however Rataxes was able to make things right between him and Victor.
Victor does look up to his Dad and sees Rataxes as a strong Rhino and also believes Rataxes is superior and better than Babar2. While he can seem to put on a tough personality, deep down he is a good kid and is smart, when he called into Zephir's Radio Show to complain that his Dad won't listen to him, all the kids in Celesteville went on strike for him, even the Triplets. After his Dad took action and made the parents strike as well, Victor told all the kids that while he understood what they were trying to do for him, they were only making the whole thing worse. He then knew that he had to talk to his Dad and sort this out and Rataxes was willing to listen3.
Victor is not the best at keeping secrets as shown in many episodes, when Babar, Arthur and Zephir were going to look for treasure, Victor immediately told Rataxes about it and Rataxes and Basil followed Babar and the others wanting the treasure. When there was thought to be a sea serpent in the Celesteville lake, Victor did not believe Alexander but when he does see the sea serpent, Babar tells the children that it should stay a secret, but Victor went and told his father about it anyway.
Like Pom and Alexander, Victor wears the same kind of clothes they wear, except the only difference is that Victor wears a white T shirt with a purple stripe line around, and he wears dark blue shorts, he also wears white shoes. Like Pom, Victor does not really believe that such things exists just like the time during a camping trip, Alexander says he saw a time traveler, although he did seem to believe in witches. In Babar and the Adventures of Badou, Victor Rataxes married Cristina Finlick, the female hippopotamus from A Pair of Queens. He is the father of Rhudi, yet despite his son appearing in the show, Victor is absent from the next series, it's unknown where he is, except he may have moved somewhere that's not revealed.
