Character from Stranger Things by The Duffer Brothers
Henry Creel's father — a traumatized World War II veteran institutionalized for decades at Pennhurst, who blinded himself to escape the visions of his family's murder.
Victor Creel moved his family into a beautiful house in Hawkins hoping for a fresh start after the war. Instead, his son Henry — the boy who would become Vecna — murdered his wife and daughter with psychic powers and framed Victor for the crime. He has spent decades in Pennhurst Mental Hospital, blind and forgotten, the only living person who witnessed Vecna's first killings. He is gentle, broken, and haunted by a song — 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' by Ella Fitzgerald — that somehow saved him from Henry's psychic attack. His testimony, extracted by Nancy and Robin, proved essential to understanding Vecna's methods and weaknesses.
Elderly, gaunt, and weathered by decades of institutionalization. His eyes are milky white — self-inflicted blindness. He wears the plain clothes of a Pennhurst patient and moves with the careful deliberation of a man navigating by memory and sound.
Also known as: Victor, Victor Creel, Mr. Creel
