Apex Legends - Who is Viper?
Today's "Stories from the Outlands" told us a lot about the shared Apex Legends and Titanfall universe. Valkyrie, Apex's newest playable Legend, is Viper's daughter. Viper, is one of the main antagonists in Titanfall 2 and his story arch culminates in a titan boss fight between him and pilot Jack Cooper on the top of a moving space cruiser.
He's one of the more memorable members of the Apex Predator group because his fight comes at a crucial moment and had been teased throughout the entire game.

However, his role in "Stories from the Outlands" is a much less antagonistic one. He plays the caring father of Valkyrie who has taken the remains of his scrapped titan after his battle with Cooper in Titanfall 2 to create what looks like a tactical wingsuit. Throughout the video, he shows his caring side until he eventually has to leave Valkyrie and her mother to take place in the events of Titanfall 2.
The animation is given the subhead "Northstar" because Viper piloted a Northstar class titan used for flight and movement. The abilities of the Northstar class titan probably give us a look at what Valkyrie's potential loadout will be once she enters Apex Legends for Season 9.
