“	When was the last time you met a 'Victor'?	”
— Nathan Ford, The Nigerian Job

Victor Dubenich is the Executive Vice President of New Technologies at Bering Aerospace. Victor had been in a fierce competition with Pierson Aviation, in the design of small commuter traffic airplanes; the fastest growing segment in the aerodynamics industry. When Pierson made a leap and completed a successful design, Dubenich assembled a team of experts (Alec Hardison, Eliot Spencer, and Parker) to "steal back" the designs, convincing the team that Pierson stole them, from him, first, and he needed them back. He then hired Nathan Ford to lead and watch the team, because he needed "an honest man".

However he was lying to them and he was stealing the designs from Pierson, and he never stole it from him. He tells the team to head to a warehouse were he plans to kill them with a bomb. But they escape just in time.When the Leverage team learned they were double-crossed, they played a con (The Nigerian Scam) (with Sophie Devereaux) on Dubenich to not only "unsteal" the designs, but to make a healthy profit.

AftermathEdit

Dubenich was last seen in his office as the FBI cleaned out his business during a raid. His stock price fell over 30% in trading that day.

Return and RevengeEdit

Dubenich spent his time in prison planning and implementing revenge against Nate Ford by feeding information to Jack Latimer about the cons the team was running. This allowed Latimer to profit by Nate's actions. In the episode before the finale of season 4, Dubenich orchestrates a plan that leads to the death of Nate's father, with the intention of killing the whole Leverage team. After Jimmy Ford's death and a meeting between Dubenich and Nate at the prison, Latimer was able to get Dubenich released early.

Knowing the team will come after him, Dubenich prepares methods to counter each team member's specialty: tightening computer security, using facial recognition software to identify the team members, and watching for anyone who approaches Latimer. The team counteracts this by recruiting old friends and rivals. They work together and take down Latimer's company.

Later, Nate corners Dubenich and Latimer atop the dam Latimer had been trying to use to further build his business. Ford deliberates over whether to kill them or to let one live. However, Nate does neither and puts the gun down near the edge of the spillway where they had been standing. As Nate walks away, Dubenich and Latimer fight over the gun and fall. A moment later, a gunshot is heard. Their fates are currently unknown.
