Preacher Victor is an odd character, a preacher from a snake handling church in Virginia. He is an older man covered with snake bites from his years as a handler, and his hair is white, coiled tightly against his head. On several occasions, he preaches about the link between God and man and snake. At one time, Victor rented a room in the Mackey house, and his father notes the preacher has been bit on the mouth from kissing snakes, and that he strings diamondbacks from his hair.
