Victor Dalby Lord Jr. is the son of Victor Lord and Irene Manning. He is known for his nonchalant charisma, dry smart wit, and unpredictable volatile nature. He came to town in 2003, claiming to be Todd Manning after extensive plastic surgery. Victor spent the next eight years living in Llanview as Todd Manning. In August 2011, it is revealed that he is really Todd's twin brother, who had in fact been brainwashed into believing he was truly Todd Manning.

In May 2011, the real Todd Manning arrives in Llanview with his "old face", after escaping from the top secret CIA facility where he had been held captive for the last eight years. He is unable to prove to everyone that he is the real Todd Manning, causing chaos and confusion, shaking his family to its core. DNA tests on both come back positive when aligned with an untainted sample on file from Marty Saybrooke's rape kit.

The truth comes out when John McBain, Brody Lovett and Tomás Delgado raid the CIA facility and discover Todd's presumed-dead mother, Irene Manning as the head of the rogue CIA agency. Back in Llanview, Irene confirms that the man with the scar is Todd Manning, and the other who had been living there as Todd, is really Victor Lord Jr. In 2003, Irene had ordered a hit on the real Todd Manning to keep him from exposing the agency. She had Todd strapped to a chair and made him uncover every detail of his life. She originally gave Victor, Todd's trademark scar, but then had Victor's face altered with reconstructive surgery to make him look like Mitch Laurence's long lost brother Flynn Walker Laurence. Irene then sent Victor away in Todd's place, so that he could get his share of the inheritance as Victor Lord Sr.'s heir, and unknowingly help the agency. She kept the real Todd locked up, instead of following through with the original plan to kill him. In March 2011, Irene ordered a hit on Victor, then still believing he was Todd Manning. He was shot in the stomach by a sniper after refusing to do more dirty work and went into a coma.

The day after the truth is revealed, and Victor gains acceptance from his family, Victor is supposedly shot dead by an unknown assailant, and is shown dying from his injuries with his wife, Téa Delgado, at his side. Shortly after, it is revealed by a blocked memory that Todd is the one who supposedly shot him, and Todd tries to cover it up. On the series finale, as Todd is being arrested for his apparent murder, Victor is revealed to be alive, bound and gagged on a bed, and being held hostage by Allison Perkins.
