Oh, silly me didn't notice that poor Victor was too fast for his own good! I just hate the bug where heroically quick units rush the enemy even with fire orders... Well, I bought him only to spite Ygorl anyway.
It's working now for me...
And, Jurri, Victor surely would have joined my righteous crusade if he had known what you had in store for him. We all mourn his passing.
Nah, Vic liked his greenbacks too much to think things through. He was a great guy, it's sad that he ran to his death. Maybe he felt like doing the right thing for once in his life, and risk it all for a higher cause: the ascension of the one, true god!
