Enoch
Victor is a peculiar who lives in Miss Peregrine’s home and is Bronwyn’s brother. Like Bronwyn, he possesses incredible strength. Jacob discovers Victor’s dead body in a bedroom in the house; the children keep it so that Enoch can occasionally revive him. Emma later explains that Victor left the loop because he was becoming frustrated living the same day over and over again, and he was killed by a hollowgast as a result. When the children leave the home at the end of the book, they bury Victor in the backyard.

Quotes

It was just so hypnotizingly pleasant that it might take a person years to notice, and by then it would be too late; leaving would be too dangerous.

Quotes
She turned serious. “They don’t know where to find us. That and they can’t enter loops. So we’re safe on the island—but we can’t leave.”
“But Victor did.”
She nodded sadly. “He said he was going mad here. Said he couldn’t stand it any longer. Poor Bronwyn. My Abe left, too, but at least he wasn’t murdered by hollows.”
I forced myself to look at her. “I’m really sorry to have to tell you this…”
“What? Oh no.”
“They convinced me it was wild animals. But if what you’re saying is true, my grandfather was murdered by them, too. The first and only time I saw one was the night he died.”
