VICTOR NEWMAN'S HISTORY
In 1980, Victor Newman settled down in Genoa City as one of the wealthiest men in the world. As a child, his mother was forced to give him up after his father left, leaving Victor to grow up in an orphanage. After his mother never returned for him, Victor ran away and vowed to make something of his life. From the ground up, Victor Newman built his legacy: Newman Enterprises.
Since his first marriage to Julia, Victor has been known to put his job before anything else, which caused more than one of Victor's wives to stray into the arms of other men. When crossed, in both the business world and his personal life, Victor has been branded as a ruthless opponent, one not to be messed with who won't think twice about buying his way to the top to win!
Victor met his first true love after walking into the strip club, the Bayou, and setting eyes on Nikki Reed. Although it took Victor a while to admit his true feelings for "His Diamond In The Rough," the two eventually married a while after the birth of Victoria. Though his love for Nikki was strong, Victor always had a soft spot for Ashley Abbott.
After Ashley found out that Brent Davis was her real father, Victor brought her to the ranch to stay with him and Nikki, which marked the beginning of their love story and of Ashley's feud with Nikki. For years the three would find themselves in love, out of love, threatened by the other, and so on and so forth! After finding out that Nikki had had an affair with Jack, Victor and Nikki divorced, leaving Ashley and Victor to fall in love. However, shortly after Ashley became pregnant, Victor and Nikki reconciled, leading Ashley to have an abortion, which in turn landed her in a mental institution.
In later years, Victor hired Leanna Love to write his biography, but wasn't aware that she had been hired by Jack Abbott to write a tell-all biography of Victor titled "Ruthless" under a presumed name! The real kicker was, Victor thought that Nikki had been behind the book, which exposed Victor's affair with Ashley, and quickly divorced her while she was pregnant with Nick and married Leanna Love! However, Victor later found out that Leanna had written the book and that his nemesis Jack Abbott was the mastermind behind it all! He divorced Leanna and vowed to make Jack pay!
Jack's deception led Victor to take over Jabot and place Brad Carlton as Jack's boss. This feud with Jack went on for years. When Victor and Nikki planned to remarry, Jack found a way to make Nikki fall in love with him and he married her out from under Victor! During a series of events, Victor took a business trip and became the victim of a robbery. Although his family back in Genoa City was told that Victor was dead, Victor made his way to a farm in Kansas and saved Hope Adams from being raped. Victor remained on the farm for a short time, found that he liked the simpler things in life and fell in love with Hope. However, when he got word that Brad and Jack had taken over Newman Enterprises in his absence, Victor convinced Hope to return to GC with him. Although the two had a child, Victor Jr., Hope couldn't adjust to the big city life and returned to Kansas for good, but took comfort in Victor's visits when time allowed.
With Newman back in his hands, and Nikki and Victor finding themselves in the arms of others, Victor swooped Diane Jenkins out from under Jack Abbott and married her! Without Diane knowing, Victor deposited a sperm sample, then had a vasectomy. When she found out, Diane stole his sperm and impregnated herself! However, in the end, it would come out that Nikki had hired a detective to break into the lab and switch the samples - not knowing that Jack's sample was the one used to impregnant Diane! In turn, Ashley stole Victor's real sample and had his daughter, little Abby.
Before Nikki and Victor got back for good, Victor found himself at odds with both of his children and Nikki and Jack - to name a few - over the business dealings in his life. His next big "Ruthless" deception came during the cosmetic war between Newman and Jabot. After blackmailing Michael Baldwin into helping him, Victor bought Newman's cosmetic line to the front of the shelves and in turn almost put Jabot out of business! However, down the road, Nick found out about his father's underhandedness and turned Victor into the Feds! Avoiding jail time, Victor was sentenced to community service, where he built the Market Street Rec Center, ended up paying Jabot twenty millions dollars and his daughter Victoria moved to Italy to get away from the family drama.
Wanting to get back in the good graces of his children, along with wife Nikki's help, Victor managed to regain his children's trust by making Victoria and Nick co-CEO's of Newman, leaving Victor to join forces with Nikki and Phyllis to form NVP. However, tragedy soon came when Victor was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Jack took advantage of Victor's state by convincing him to sell his share in NVP. After returning from a trip in which Victor called a spiritual journey, his seizures became more profound and he finally went through with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery to control his disease.
With his wits about him, Victor found out that Jack used him and his money to secretly regain control of Jabot, leaving Victor on a mission to bring Jack's house of cards tumbling down! However, before he can focus on Jack, Victor found himself in quite the predicament. In an attempt to protect his family from Brad Carlton's dangerous past, Victor and Brad were trapped in Switzerland, while on the hunt for the Grugeon, but made it out alive with the rare Reliquary intact!
In February 2007, Victor found himself fighting alongside his son Nick to save Phyllis and Summer from Shelia Carter's evil clutches.
Once the dust settled from that fiasco, Victor found himself embroiled in the Clear Springs explosion disaster, and holding vigil at his comatose daughter Victoria's bedside. He went to court against Nikki to fight to save Victoria's life over that of her unborn baby. Before a decision could be handed down, the baby had to be born by c-section.
Victor met his daughter's best friend, Sabrina, when she came to town and he hired her as an art curator for his collection. He fell in love and married her, and they conceived a child. Unfortunately, Nikki's new husband David brought the mob into their lives, and Sabrina accepted a ride with David one fateful night and wound up dead. Victor fled to Mexico in search of the mobster that was responsible for the car wreck and has now gone into hiding from his family.

Victor tells him the entire ruse was Nick's idea! Adam is put out, and Nick informs him that he loves the company as much as he does. Victor tells Adam to go back to Tucker and continue the ruse.

Jack threatens to put him through the window, then leaves. Ashley says to Victor, "This isn't just about Jack, it's about me too, isn't it?" Victor insists it's nothing to do with her, she shouldn't take it personally. He reiterates that Jack needs to be out in a week, then leaves.
