It was only officially confirmed in the commentary track of a live DVD. Victoria's full name is Victoria Page, and the brothers Julian and Edward have the last name Baynes. This is not confirmed in the lyrics of the album, only in the supplementary material.

Confirmed on the live DVD by the band. It honestly borders on Sudden Downer Ending the first time through, though on later listens, it's foreshadowed pretty well.

Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory (Music) / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: "Finally Free". Unbeknownst to Nicholas, Edward kills his brother Julian while Julian and Victoria re-kindle their relationship (supposedly) in secret; Edward then tells Victoria to "open [her] eyes" before killing her. He plants a suicide note on Julian and then assumes his role as the witness, reported earlier in the album (in "Beyond This Life") as a newspaper column. The reason Nicholas is unaware of this is because his hypnotherapist ended the session abruptly, right when Nicholas has made peace with being a re-incarnated Victoria, so that Nicholas could not become aware of this revelation, or the fact that his hypnotherapist was a reincarnation of Edward and was preparing to kill him (again) — something Victoria was trying to warn him about.

It is implied that the entire reason Victoria is communicating with Nicholas is to warn him that the Hypnotherapist will murder him as Edward did Victoria, leading to the further implication that the whole album is part of an endless cycle of murder and rebirth.
