Vector is a young, up-and-comer who exemplifies the new generation of supervillainy.  Dark & gloomy just isn't his style...he's more into the austere, super-polished, high-tech style of supervillainy, befitting his nerdy demeanor.  And it seems to be working pretty well, as he's just managed to steal the Great Pyramid of Giza...no easy feat!

Vector, as it turns out, is actually "Victor", the son of the president of the Bank of Evil, Mr. Perkins.  He has discarded what he refers to as his "nerd name" for a super-cool villain name: "Vector...it's a mathematical term--a quantity represented by an arrow with both direction and magnitude.  Vector!  That's me, 'cause I'm committing crimes...with both direction and magnitude!  Oh yeah!"

Vector's lair, which he refers to affectionately as "the Fortress of Vectortude", is a nearly-impenetrable, super high-tech facility decorated in stark white and orange colors, matching his favorite warm-up suit and running sneakers.  He has a round living room with a wrap-around couch, huge HD television (complete with video games) and a massive shark tank...containing one very massive and dangerous shark!  Behind his lair he has placed the Great Pyramid of Giza, cleverly disguising it with some mysterious stealth technology to reflect the sky.

Like his arch-enemy Gru's assistant, Dr. Nefario, Vector is a clever inventor, and has created many of his own gadgets and weapons, the latter of which seem to revolve mostly around aquatic life (such as a pirahna gun, which shoots out live pirahnas, and a squid launcher, which shoots little live squids).  How effective those weapons are AS weapons is anyone's guess...but they seem pretty handy at distracting his enemies.  They also, unfortunately, seem to sometimes distract Vector as well, as he often ends up struggling to retrieve his aquatic ammo--they're pretty slippery (and those pirahnas have teeth)!
