Early Life: (1971 - 1980)
Victor von Doom, was born Viktor Werner Domashev in Haassenstadt, Latveria roughly forty to fifty years ago. He was born to Werner and Cynthia Domashev, disgraced members of a gypsy tribe known as the Zefiro. Viktor's father, Werner, was a Sokovian folk doctor who was called upon by King Vladimir to treat his wife who was indisposed with cancer. His mother, Cynthia was a practicing sorcerer and witch who would conventionally produce limited supply and food for the tribe in order to increase their survival. At around the age of three, Viktor and his mother were separated from each other after allegations of witchcraft were placed upon Cynthia. After his mother was kidnapped by the Latverian government, Domashev and his father were placed in a Romani assimilation camp used by Baron Vlad Fortunov to dismantle minority heritage within Latveria. To cope with the disappearance of his mother, Domashev would often drown his sorrows in Latverian stories, developing a remarkably acute skill for reading and storytelling.

After being released from custody, Cynthia was barred from seeing her son and her husband, further deteriorating her mental health. In an attempt to exact revenge on Baron Vladimir and his men, Cynthia ventured on a week-long escapade seeking out forbidden ancient text rumored to summon the devil himself. After a two-month-long study, Cynthia returned to Hassenstadt utilizing her newfound powers to erratically massacre every soldier supervising the village. After multiple minutes of searching for her family, Cynthia finally came across the prison camp where Victor was detained. Cynthia destroys the facility's door expecting the warm embrace of her family only to be welcomed by the smoldering bodies of almost two dozen children. This petrifying apprehension left Cynthia stunned, leaving her vulnerable to the blade of a dying guard. A still-living Cynthia wanders into the Latverian forest with an unconscious Victor on her back, screaming for help and medical attention. They managed to arrive at the camp, only for Cynthia to collapse into her husband's arms. As she dies, she pleads to her now awakened son never to be as foolish as she once was. In the wake of her death, Victor would take these words to heart.

Werner and the Zefiro were incriminated for both the death of Vladimir Fortunov wife and the murder of his men by Cynthia. Both of these offenses forced them to flee from the Latverian region into the Alps.
