Viper Lore & Background Story

Viper was an experiment — a creature bred in the Netherdrake Aerie to be the perfect toxin delivery system. He escaped his creators and now spreads venom indiscriminately across the battlefield. He feels no loyalty and no remorse, only the cold biological imperative to poison everything he touches. His toxic kinship with Venomancer is undeniable — two venomous beings who saturate the battlefield with poison, one by design and one by accident.
