There's probably another reason why he's low level: deception.

Think about it, the Tomb is littered with relatively low-level NPCs that serve no purpose but flavor. Painkill, Kyouhukou, and quite a few others. Since the path through the Tomb is super labyrinthine due to the erratic portals, any invasion force would likely have encountered quite a few of them and killed them easily. So when they run into Victim the natural reaction to his low level is "oh it's another one of those NPCs that are just here to look cool" rather than "oh shit this is probably a trick".

So when given the choice, do you prioritize the bunch of level 80-90 monsters swarming the party? Or that one nonthreatening-looking angel that is probably just there as a fixture? Hmmm~
