Crimson Viper

Crimson Viper is a character in the video game, Street Fighter IV. At first, she appears to be working for Seth, the main villain of the game, but it turns out that she is actually an undercover C.I.A agent, under orders to retrieve data on the BLECE project and kill Seth. Nevertheless, due to occasionally standing against other heroes from the franchise she is considered by the other heroes from the series a villain.
She uses her Battle Suit to fight her opponents, and it is equipped with electrical gauntlets that can make the ground shake as well as jet boosters in her boots that can be used as flame throwers.
C. Viper has a daughter named Lauren. This makes her one of the first mothers in the Street Fighter franchise.
She is voiced by Mie Sonozaki in Japanese and Michelle Ruff in English.
== Personality and Traits==
C. Viper is a tough and smart female agent. While a lot of it can be chalked up to being undercover, she's very curt and condescending towards other heroes, spending her battles against Chun-Li and Cammy goading and dismissing them the entire fight. However, most of her win quotes are rather caustic, but some of them express a genuine interest in and sympathy for her opponents' personal situations. 
== Story ==
Though she is employed by S.I.N., Crimson Viper is actually a mole for an American intelligence agency investigating the BLECE project. As a S.I.N. operative, she is in charge of the "Battle Suit project," and enters the tournament to test the prototype. If the test proves successful, she will be reassigned to the BLECE project. Additionally, she's also on scout for potential recruits. Prior to the tournament, Seth orders Viper to attack Ryu to test his skills. The fight is interrupted by Cammy; afterwards, Viper defeats and tortures her in an attempt to enrage Ryu into giving into the Satsui No Hado. She is successful, but the surge of power destroys her monitoring equipment and she is forced to flee just as Ken Masters and Sakura Kasugano (having responded the unnamed truck driver's call whom met Ryu back at the bar) arrives which the former immediately recognized her, while the latter stops Ryu calming him down. However Cammy was badly wounded and Ken calls for help and have her medical treatment, luckily her condition stablized and is forced to wear an arm sling. Before the tournament, she is informed that members of a C.I.A. team which was investigating S.I.N.'s rumored links to Shadaloo have all been assassinated. Realizing that she alone must finish the mission, she infiltrates S.I.N.'s HQ searching for information. While there, she comes across a wounded Seth, who recognizes her as a CIA agent. She responds by finishing him off. 
Unfortunately, the data pertaining to BLECE is destroyed by Cammy before Viper has a chance to copy it, resulting in several years of investigation disappearing into thin air. The data linking Shadaloo to S.I.N. is not destroyed, however, and is recovered by Chun-Li prior to the Facility's destruction. Returning back to the CIA, she reports to her superiors that "#15" (i.e. Seth) has been eliminated, and that the "remaining 26" are in her sights. She then returns home to her daughter Lauren.
