Viper was born in Dauntless by Aranea Loire and her father Tyranis Wreckage with her brother Rain Wreckage. She lives in her pack, picking on her brother and just growing up a free spirit since her mother is young and new too raising children. She met Jupiter while a they were both pups in Dauntless and he plays a bigger part of her life later on. Before she turns even two seasons old, Tyranis (Dauntless' pack Alpha) comes into their den and steals Rain away from Aranea in the dead of the night, leaving Viper behind, and abandoning his pack. Aranea who was already having self-esteem and depression problems, lashes out at Viper and drives her away. Thus making Viper abandon her family name and starting her own life anew.

Just as she starts to grow on her own, Viper runs into a man called Elias who senses that she is related by blood and challenges to take her as a lamb (slave) in his kingdom and succeeds. She was robbed of her freedom and her hatred of the world continues to brew inside her. She lives a very unhappy and hateful life in Ruina and eventually is able to sneak out undetected.

After escaping Ruina at about a year of age, Viper goes into hiding in the northern lands of Boreas, continuing to learn to survive on her own and forever worried that Elias would come back for her. She stayed mostly in caves and mountains hoping to elude him. She never wanted to go back to being a slave regardless of Elias' larger intentions for her.

A little over three years of hiding, Viper starts to forget why she was even hiding in the first place and begins to expand her horizons all over Boreas. She was emotionally scarred by the abandonment of her father then mother and her lack of freedom in Ruina and her mind stayed in a yearling's state mentally. She discovers the battle field where she spends most of her time sparing other wolves and wanting to learn the ways of fighting though not with the help of others. In her farther adventures from the north, she runs into a young man by the name of Noir and he takes advantage of her offset mind and challenges her to maim. Soon after she runs into an old childhood "friend", Jupiter, but her childish mental state sends him running for the hills. She becomes lonely and begins to hate herself for not feeling stronger physically and emotionally and she then finds herself chasing after Jupiter's scent and wandering into the pack lands of fireside where she is greeted with a number of battles for trespassing. She is then imprisoned into the pack for breaking their laws.

Viper spends some time in a dug-in pit prison, and dwells over how Jupiter really doesn't like her even though she basically sees him as a god. She considers now how she isn't necessarily like other wolves especially her age. She finally convinces Tyrian to let her free through a pretty dumb deal. But still, she leaves and intends to not come back to Fireside but doesn't intend to hold her deal with leaving "the wolves" of Fireside, AKA Jupiter, alone.

She tries to build up her strength again and comes across Hattori who recruits her into the pack of Ashen. She plans on trying her best at a normal life inside a pack but is haunted by her past mistakes and differences to the wolves around her. Soon after her joining, Fireside raids Ashen and she finds her chance to come one on one with Jupiter in hopes to show him that she is worth his time. Unfortunately she fails, and she senses Jupiter's lack of enthusiasm and participation in their battle and it ignites a true hatred inside her for the man. She's tired of feeling like she is worth nothing to him, specifically due to things that happened in her past unrelated to him though won't realize it. The next time they meet will definitely not be friendly.

Viper spends most of her time helping provide for her pack members and working to impress Hattori. She guess on hunting parties often in the presence of Chimera who hates her less than almost everyone else because of her changed silent demeanor of herself. In time, things become personal with them and Chimera ends up claiming Viper as his own. This opens up a lot of questions and turmoil inside Viper that she ignores and just lives her life alongside Chimera.
