Victor is a driven, focused man who is skilled at getting what he wants out of life. When he was told to marry Janice, he did so in order to not lose access to the money and resources of his family. He has played the dutiful husband even though there is no love between them. What time he doesn't spend on his job, he spends enjoying his money boating (often with his brother-in-law [[Gary Phelan|Gary]]), driving, or attending sporting events. He loves his daughter and spoiled her rotten but is secretly terrified since she changed and somehow blames his wife for it, putting even more distance between them. He does as his family asks, but lately is starting to resent it and wonders if he needs them anymore.

Dr. Victor McShane, Jr. was twenty and halfway through his undergraduate degree when his father died in the Castro War. He was the first of his siblings pressured into marriage, agreeing mostly because [[Hugh Keegan]] threatened to cut him off from the family funds, which he'd need for medical school. He married Janice, dutifully impregnated her, and they haven't slept together since. He finished medical school, did his residency in St. Mary's ER before taking a permanent position there.

Background

Tate grew up relatively unaffected by the Uratha side of the family's affairs, raised by his non-wolf-blooded father Tate after his mother died when he was four giving birth to his sister Sybil. He was always an easy-going person who was able to make friends quickly, despite his weight problems, and had a deeply honorable streak. His decision to become a lawyer might not have come true, though, if not for the support of his uncle Hugh, though they had differing opinions on what sort of law Tate should practice. Hugh felt that Tate would come around, but proved wrong. He met Michelle Phelan at a family function and they dated on and off while he was in school, though he remained unaware of the Uratha and, thus, her true nature up until they got engaged and he rejected what she told him, at first and felt manipulated by his family. However, all of that changed when the Castro War occurred. The death of Michelle's sister Kim and her cousin Robin drove a wedge between her and her alpha and she fell back on the only person she thought could help her through it. Tate, unable to refuse her or ignore her pain, took her in and the two reconciled. They married a few weeks later. Now, he better accepts and understands the family's handling of him when he was younger and feels that they have an important part to play. He does what he can to keep them out of trouble. He is good friends with his cousin Jeremy. The two do lunch every day and get together on weekends to do stuff with their kids (who are also close). He also keeps tabs on his nephew Joshua at the behest of his wife.
