Vyper is a Hero in Deadlock. After Slithering across the battlefield to swiftly avoid enemy attacks while spraying them with copious amount of bullets, Vyper can inject retreating foes with Lethal Venom to finish them off and use her Screwjab Dagger to hit faraway targets. By slinging her Petrifying Bolas, Vyper will make sure that her targets won't get away from her.

Vyper is an impulsive outlaw that gets thrown in jail as many times as she escapes it, building a reputation among a number of criminal allies and enemies across the New Jersey Tri-State Area.

Vyper was added to Hero Labs as "Viper" on October 24, 2024, and officially released on January 17, 2025.

Background

See Vyper/Lore for more story content.

“
When it comes to breaking the law, not getting caught is a pretty important part of the job. Vyper never got that memo. Luckily for her, if there’s one thing she’s better at than being arrested, it’s escaping out of jail.

Having done time in every major prison in the tri-state area, Vyper has built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that owe her one. She’s also built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that want her dead, but she tries to focus on the positive.

Lore

Vyper's wish seems to be a new and secure life for herself.[3][4][5]

Vyper is a gorgon.[6][7] She often refers to herself as "V".[8][9]

Vyper has been to New Jersey,[10] Staten Island,[11] Philadelphia,[12] Illinois,[13] Oklahoma[14] and Wisconsin.[15]

Vyper used to work for the Mendoza Syndicate, acting as InfernusInfernus' replacement.[16][17] When working for Mendoza, Vyper was caught by IvyIvy and tried for 13 counts of murder, although Vyper mentions that the actual kill count was way higher.[18][19] Vyper has killed tourists in the past and felt no remorse for doing so.[20]

Vyper has been kicked out of the Paradox Museum and the Baroness Hotel.[21][22] She's also been barred from Jezebel's.[23] Vyper once crashed Fashion Week.[24]

Vyper makes references to pruno, an improvised alcoholic beverage also known as "prison wine".[25][26]

Vyper says her mother was "slinging poison" after she found out about a life insurance policy, implying that she murdered her spouse for the insurance.[27] Similarly, Vyper wants to get married to a rich husband and kill him for the inheritance.[28]

Vyper has a Midwest accent, according to MinaMina.[29]

Character interactions

  • Nobody trusts Vyper,[30] with the exception of RemRem.[31][32]
  • Vyper is infatuated with Lash.[33][34][35] She has watched him sleep (without his knowledge)[36] and sends Lash letters made to "stand out" (the contents of the letters are unknown, but they do make Lash uncomfortable).[37][38] When Vyper flirts with BillyBilly, she asks if she can call him "Lash".[39]
  • Vyper dislikes Bebop, Lash's pitfighting rival.[40]
  • Aside from LashLash, Vyper is attracted to AbramsAbrams,[41][42] BillyBilly[39] and MirageMirage.[43] She also likes Cinnamon, a "librarian" from "Pole Palace" who resembles PaigePaige.[44]
  • Vyper likes Mo & Krill.[45] They don't like her.[46]
  • Vyper believes Infernus "used to be hard, but now he's just a bitch".[47] She also liked ShivShiv before he went straight.[48][49]
  • Vyper says her Screwjab Daggers are better than Shiv's Serrated Knives.[50]
  • Vyper says Calico has a reputation of "sloppy work" due to "a hit that went bad" (a possible reference to the attempted assassination of Pocket).[51]
  • Vyper nicknames PaigePaige "Red" and knew her brother, Bryce.[52][53]
  • Vyper comments on Grey Talon's health, due to his age.[54]
  • Vyper wants Mirage to "stop yelling about the Djinn".[55]
  • Vyper is interested in stealing Ava,[56] GravesGraves' lich hand,[57] KelvinKelvin's parka,[58] Lady GeistLady Geist's earrings,[59] PocketPocket's suitcase[60] and YamatoYamato's sword.[61] She's robbed the ShopkeeperShopkeeper before.[62]
  • Lash is scared of Vyper's obession with him and wants her to leave him alone.[63][64][65]
  • SilverSilver has hunted and caught Vyper so many times that Vyper's use of Petrifying Bola comes from Silver's Entangling Bola.[66][67]
  • HazeHaze mentions that eliminating cretins like Vyper is beneath her pay grade.[68]
  • IvyIvy is familar with Vyper from when she worked for Mendoza.[69][18][19]
  • WraithWraith wants Vyper dead since she once robbed one of Wraith's poker rooms.[70][71] She also doesn't allow Vyper to take out markers (informal loans) since Vyper never pays them back.[72][73] Vyper knows Sophia Arroyo works for Wraith.[74]
