## History

### Origins

**The Crimson Cobra,** or known to the public as **Vivian Elizabeth Troy** is an underground criminal, and is undefeated as well. She worked with her father as a hitwoman and killed anyone on his list, up until he compromised her and turned her in.**Vivian Troy** was born on November 28. 1994 to her father, **Mark Troy** and her unknown mother, that died during the birth. Vivian was not raised like a normal child would be raised. Vivian was raised to kill an to kill only. By the age of 9, Vivian had about 10 kills, and didn’t feel anything about it due to the horrible torture sessions her father would give her if she didn’t do what he said.Vivian was never allowed to be emotional in her youth hence her cold expressions and her not caring to kill design. Vivian was created into a killing machine by the age of 15, and she had about 324 kills by then. She couldn’t care less who she killed either and never did research. She just did her normal job, and tried to never get attached to anyone she kills.When Vivian turned 17, she was sent on a killing mission by her father to kill a politician. Vivian failed that mission and her father turned her into the government so they don’t come for him instead. Vivian wasn’t having it so she escaped and went to find her father.

### Killing Her Father And Joining HYDRA

When Vivian found her father, she did not hesitate to torture the hell out of him like he did to her in her youth. His screams powered her, she became sadistic. Vivian kept doing what she was doing until her father had died from blood loss. At the age of 20. Vivian earned the name “**Crimson Cobra**”. She was known as the Crimson Cobra because she had a special type of tranquilizer that could kill anyone slowly like the bite of a Cobra. Then, she created a flash gun that flashes red and makes people forget what they did in the last 48 hours, hence the Crimson part of her codename. She got use to being called that and then it just stuck by her and she did this with the help of HDYRA when she had joined them.

## Personality

Vivian Troy has a very dark past being tortured by her father, she's become a very traumatized person. Nearly dying of hunger, learning about her father's fate, and nearly dying in the Organization extremely changed her. Vivian doesn't like to waste her time-fighting someone if it's for no reason at all, whenever she would train her men, it would never be randomly. Vivian would usually challenge her men, not the other way around.Vivian does have a soft side, though the trauma she is filled with takes over all of that and makes it non-existent. Even though she is a villain, she tries not to be an "annoying" person. She carefully listens to people to see if she can find any information on anyone she is interested in. She does her fair amount of research such as researching each and everyone of the Avengers such as Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Natasha Romanoff etc. The public would see Vivian as a kind, friendly, and respecting human being. Vivian tends to switch from kind and friendly to being a complete psychopath, which led many to believe that she has some sort of Multiple Personality Disorder. Vivian’s main traits are cunning and manipulative. Sadistic, shown by when she was laughing after shooting and killing her father.
