Look out for the red one as that is his most lethal poison.*

## Personality

He always had a very depressed demeanor as he had very conflicted as made various suicide attempts but was also quite the warrior. he never fought for himself and would always fight for others before he went mad. His confliction between wanting to live and wanting to die often put him in dangerous situations or would sometimes drag others into dangerous situations but would always prioritize the low ranked Slayer lives over his own as he sees them as the future of Defiance.

## Abilities

Due to his Vexic curse Viper had to learn how to control his curse and went into learning more of the blood arts. He practiced these blood arts incorporating his curse into his practices allowing his various rites to inflict different types of poison. Due to his curse of Vexic when looking into his eyes he can petrify them. He used a variety of poisons but his four favorites were Void Dew (green), Phantom Dust (Blue), Nusin (yellow), and Nether Spore (red).

His weakest poison is Phantom Dust as it is only affects undead and eldritch monsters but has no effect on living beings. Void Dew and Nusin are poisons that make those in contact hallucinate seeing either a monster (Void Dew) or seeing a dead companion (Nusin). Nether Spore is his most powerful poison on contact it will cause internal bleeding along with parasitic spores that spread throughout the body eventually being controlled by the spores than dying from the inside out.

## Adamantium Slayer

Viper used to work as a Slayer for the school of the Cursed and held the rank of Mithral. He would often go on various missions to find and track down artifacts especially of the cursed variety for the school so that they are able to research the artifact but more importantly the curse. When Viper was not on these types of missions he would often work with the Silver and Gold Slayers and would serve as a mentor to some. The last mission he went on was to the Bone Desert tracking down an artifact related to the Vexic curse that could potentially aid in curing those with the Vexic curse. He was sent on this mission with two other Slayers from the school of the Cursed, Hera Trueclaw and Kyzire Irzene. Unfortunately the group was ambushed by a group of undead and the group was separated from each other. Viper was presumed dead until recently, he was spotted roaming the Bone Desert ambushing and killing Slayers and taking whatever weapons they have on them. He was last seen wearing an adamantium necklace around his neck.
