Contents
Early years
Victoire was the son of a fierce litigator (his mother) and a stalwart of the men's French national football team (his father). Born in Nice, France, he followed in his father's footsteps, excelling as a midfielder in high school before relocating to the United States when his parents divorced. Upon emigrating, he turned his nose up at US soccer and tried out for American football on a lark. The competitive intensity he inherited from his mother, combined with his father's mindset of "be everywhere, do everything" earned him a spot as the team safety and he quickly dominated at the high school level. He played with uncommon rage, and his coaches were shocked and inspired at the ferocity of his tackling, needing to reel him in a bit and drive home the importance of defending the pass and intercepting when possible. Upon graduation, his pedigree had been widely noticed by colleges of all levels. LSU held particular esteem in his imagination because of the french influence prevalent in New Orleans.
College career
For Victoire, college was a violent ballet. Blessed with blazing speed and prenatural sense of his opponent's mind, he was a particularly nasty adversary for even the top rated quarterbacks of the SEC. His coaches briefly penciled him in at corner at the outset of his freshman year, but his instincts overwhelmed expectations and he was elevated to more of a leadership role in the backfield. His play style was generally considered selfless and team-oriented, but he would break into the highlight reel periodically with showstopping tackles and clutch interceptions. For Victoire, winning was paramount to personal glory, but you wouldn't know it by the his line in the box scores. As he approaches the outset of his career in the ISFL, Victoire Absolue - french for absolute victory - dreams of championships and believes there is meaning and sacrifice attached to every step he takes in pursuit of such success.

Professional career
DSFL career
Picked up off of waivers at the tail end of season 48, Absolue failed to make a real impact for the Royals in their playoff loss to the Minnesota Ducks, but he made enough of an impact in the locker room to be selected sixth overall in the first round of the DSFL draft. Absolue quickly took advantage of the opportunity, defending the pass alongside fellow Royals safety Martavius Spencer. They became the anchor points of the finest defensive secondary in the DSFL, captaining a unit that led the league with 22 interceptions. After a disappointing first round exit against the Portland Pythons, Absolue spent his life savings on training equipment in anticipation of the upcoming ISFL draft. Rumor has it that he and several of his teammates have made a pact to lobby for one last season in the DSFL, in an effort to end the Royal drought and bring an Ultimini championship home to England.
