Victor Quartermaine, or Lord Victor Quartermaine is a hunter with a dog named Philip. He is the main villain of The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. He appears to be courting Lady Campanula Tottington, 7th Lady of Scotland and Tottington, but is intending to marry her for her money. Lord Quartermaine prefers to use traditional methods to rid the pests, rather than Anti-Pesto's humane control business. His hunting weapon is a low-spread high-velocity singleshot bolt-action shotgun, which he puts a scope on for some reason. His hair, is in fact a wig, a fact that is revealed when an invention of Wallace's—the BunVac 6000—accidentally causes it to pop off of his head. In the end, Gromit dresses Victor up as the monster (a costume he used earlier as a lure for the Were-Rabbit), and throws him out of the tent. The angry mob chase Victor away. Victor's fate is unknown but one thing is for certain, he has never been seen or heard from since.
