After the death of Victor Kiriakis' daughter, Isabella, he decided to turn his life around. He even tried to find wedded bliss with the likes of Vivian Alamain, Kate Roberts, and Nicole Walker. However, those relationships didn't work out. He and Kate welcomed a son together, Philip, and years later, when Philip believed he was the father of Belle Black's daughter, Claire, Victor kept the secret of her paternity quiet, per Soap Central. Over the years, Victor continued to participate in shady dealings, including a feud with the DiMera family. However, when he fell in love with and married Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers), things settled down for him. Sadly, he still had some schemes left in him.
When Victor believed that Maggie had caused a car accident that killed Adrienne Kiriakis and Sarah Horton's newborn baby, he sprung into action (via Soaps in Depth). Victor framed Will Horton for the accident and swapped Sarah's daughter with Brady Black and Kristen DiMera's daughter, Rachel. When the scheme fell apart a year later, Maggie was furious at Victor. However, they worked through their differences and remained together.
Victor will certainly go down as one of the greatest characters in "Days of Our Lives" history, and fans will never forget the impact he's had on the long-running soap opera.
