Which Major Character Died in THE PENGUIN Finale?

As a fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the dark and gritty world of Gotham City, I must say that the character of Vic Aguilar, portrayed brilliantly by Rhenzy Feliz in “The Penguin,” left an indelible mark on me. His tragic backstory, his loyalty to Oz Cobb despite the latter’s questionable morals, and his untimely demise in the series finale were all poignant reminders of the harsh realities that many characters in Gotham face.


In the television show “The Penguin,” which mainly portrays a cast of crooks, the standout character who showed genuine goodness was Victor “Vic” Aguilar, played by Rhenzy Feliz. Sadly, in the series finale, Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) ended up taking Vic’s life. Despite constantly being at risk throughout the show, Vic came to feel relatively secure with Oz and even regarded him as a paternal figure of sorts. As Oz ascended the criminal underworld, Vic remained loyal beside him. All this loyalty turned out to be in vain when Oz choked Vic in the last moments of the series finale, allowing his body to drift away in the river. It’s one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the entire series. Rest in Peace, Victor Aguilar; you deserved a better fate.

Vic’s Tragic Backstory in The Penguin

In the movie “The Batman,” young Victor, hailing from Gotham’s working-class district, tragically lost his entire family when The Riddler breached the sea defenses, causing a flood that swept through their neighborhood and took their lives. To survive, Vic was driven towards illegal activities. In the debut of “The Penguin,” Vic and companions attempt to steal car rims from Oz Cobb’s vehicle. When Oz found them, his friends fled, but he cornered Vic. Instead of ending Vic’s life as initially intended, Oz, who also has a stutter, felt a strange sense of empathy due to their shared condition. This compassion, we later learn, was short-lived. (Or so it seemed.)

Initially, Oz compels Victor to work for him, with the imminent threat of death looming over him. Over time, Oz develops a soft spot for Victor, treating him almost like his own son. The relationship between them is filled with heartfelt moments that resonate deeply. At the start of the series, Victor even manages to save Oz’s life. However, when Oz amasses all power, he cold-bloodedly murders Victor. He perceived his emotional bond with Victor as a vulnerability, so he decided to get rid of him. This act serves as a stark reminder that despite initial impressions, Oz has no genuine virtues, even though the creators may have led us to believe otherwise.
