Why did Viktor turn evil?

Viktor turns "evil" (or antagonistic) in Arcane due to a desperate quest to cure his fatal illness, leading him to embrace the Hexcore, self-experiment with Shimmer, and believe free will causes suffering, ultimately seeking a forced "Glorious Evolution" for humanity through technology, alienating him from his past ideals as he sacrifices emotion and connection for perceived progress. His fall stems from trauma, loss (like his assistant Sky), betrayal by Jayce, and a belief that humanity's flaws require drastic, emotionless control, transforming him from healer to a machine-like figure who sees free will as the problem, not the solution.

Was Viktor in love with Jayce?

No, the creators of Arcane have confirmed that Viktor's love for Jayce is not romantic, but a deep, platonic love akin to brotherhood or "platonic life partners," though the show intentionally uses ambiguous body language and parallels to Mel to fuel fan interpretation as romance. While many fans see romantic undertones due to intense scenes, the writers intended it as profound friendship and mutual respect, with co-creator Christian Linke stating Viktor was always meant to be asexual, making romantic love with Jayce not part of the story.
