Debunked myths

Moonlight is sunlight reflected off the moon, so logically Victor could stand in the sun all he wants as long as he's wearing sunscreen. Victor is not repelled by garlic, however he finds the smell disgusting as he senses are enhanced. The body is the soul in many religions, so Victor can clearly be seen in any mirror. Anything would die if you stabbed it through the heart with a stick or decapitated it. There is nothing stopping him from crossing through running water. He does not have to be 'invited in' and does not have OCD or an impulse to count things. His real and only weakness is silver. Fae of any kind, weather light or demonic, all have an allergic burning reaction to silver. And if you drive it through their heart they will burn alive.
