The Black Viper was a notorious pickpocket, burglar, mugger, and assassin of Waterdeep who died in the late 14th century DR after a long criminal career.[1]
History
The title of Black Viper was originally claimed by Alauneth Orrane in the mid-14th century DR.[2]
The Black Viper's Return
One century after the death of the original Black Viper, in the late 15th century DR, she returned to Waterdeep to continue her criminal activities. Rumors passed between the noble houses of Waterdeep discussing how and why she'd returned, but none were true. In reality, the Black Viper's title and persona were adopted by Esvele Rosznar, a brash young noble woman of Waterdeep who wanted a way to escape her day-to-day life.[1]
