Malik Viper

Professor Malik 'Milky' Viper is the brother of Valerie Viper and a renowned toxicologist. He holds the record among the Cobra family for having the most animal cruelty allegations filed against oneself in one day.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
He has red hair that sticks out in a wavy pompadour. He wears a purple suit with a black belt, a blue undershirt, a darker blue tie, and brown shoes. Like most Cobra family members, he wears glasses; they are big and round, much like his nephew's, but the left lens is blacked out.
=== Personality ===
He is arrogant and haughty, but oddly eccentric, often introducing himself as 'The Queen' and serving only milk to drink at his dinner parties. His popular, socialite exterior hides a dark side, as he delights in concocting the most perilous of poisons. He's also quite a drama queen, running to older relatives (or even his sister) crying if threatened; throwing tantrums; sulking and acting like a stereotypical mean girl. 
=== Skills and Abilities ===
He is an excellent events organiser, and throws riveting parties. In his labs, he is skilled with chemistry and has a wide knowledge of the effects of chemicals on the human body. He is capable of juggling many different tasks at once and has little limit to what he'll do.
== History ==
The less-impulsive, less-rebellious brother of Valerie Viper, Malik was often considered the nicer sibling. While his sister was off joining motorcycle gangs, he was organising proms and dances and studying hard. However, while he seemed like the model child compared to his sister, his social-butterfly persona hid an unsettling problem child; he was fascinated with poisons and their effects on the body.
After his graduation party ended in half the student body falling horribly ill due to a mysteriously spiked punch bowl, he dedicated himself to studying chemistry - specifically toxicology. He started his own brand of pesticides to help fund his studies, and made quite a name for himself in the world of poisons, both household and commissioned for nefarious purposes, as well as in the world of fine eating
However, in his poisonous escapades, he inhaled a lot of weird stuff, which may be partly responsible for his weird state of mind. His poisonous fascination also resulted in the loss of sight in his left eye, and gave him brittle, weak bones, which is why he drinks obscene amounts of milk.
== Trivia ==
* Expanding on the previous point of him being the Cobra family member with the highest number of animal cruelty reports in one day, his record is 32. 32 different people accused him of animal cruelty in one day.
* Since milk slows the effects of poison on the body, he may be immune/resistant to some of the lesser poisons.
* He is quite flamboyant and eccentric. He holds extravagant dinner parties twice a year, introduces himself as 'The Queen' and dresses in long elegant gowns.
* When under pressure, he has a terrible habit of running either to his father or to his Uncle Casi, who will unquestionably take Malik under his wing.
