Victor Pearson
Bald, ruthless and seemingly untrustworthy, Victor Pearson (Lawrence Bayne) resembles Lex Luthor in DC Comics and Lionel Luthor in Smallville. Victor is the head of the Blake Holsey school board, and exerts a great deal of coercive influence over Principal Amanda Durst. He is the father of Vaughn, husband of Sarah, ex-colleague of Kelly Trent, and nemesis of Josie Trent.
Victor was once a nice, inventive, and nerdy student at Blake Holsey High. He was in love with Sarah Lynch. Victor stole Josie Trent's Floating Chi Ball when she followed Vaughn through the wormhole to 1978. This pleased Sarah, who turned out to be a time traveler herself. Victor eventually married Sarah, and Sarah gave birth to Vaughn. At the culmination of the couple's time travel experiments using the Chi Ball, when Sarah was to leave the present to return to the future, she left Victor with a pendant to give to Vaughn.
Victor always had a plan and was known to work on secret projects that would seem dangerous. He used the mysterious Chi Ball to power his devices. The Science Club was deeply suspicious of Victor's activities, and often investigated or interfered with them. Victor attempted to use Vaughn to learn information from the Science Club, but Vaughn decided not to spy for him. Distrust between father and son grew, as Vaughn demanded the pendant with no explanation, and Victor failed to explain that his experiments were largely directed at finding Sarah and bringing her home. Nor did Victor tell his son that Vaughn's signature on certain financial documents was the only way to conntinue to fund this effort.
A year after Josie went missing, Victor had lost his fortune and seemingly become a madman, still driven to continue his search for Sarah but lacking a means to do so. It was not until Josie's clone returned and openly supported Victor's efforts that the Science Club learned that Victor was not the villain they had assumed him to be.
