First Light

Sometime in the near future, an event known as First Light occurred on the planet Earth. The event spanned the entire globe, leading to big transformations to life, technology, and how governments operate. However, as a result of the event, select people across the globe start to gain abilities stemming from this massive event. These gifted individuals are called Radiants. (Taken from Here )

Valorant Protocol

In response to First Light, a shadow organization founds the Valorant Protocol, which pulls together Agents from all over the world. These Agents consist of Radiants and other individuals equipped with Radiant technology. Due to the backstories of these characters, the Valorant team features interesting dynamics as the individuals not only sometimes know each other, but they also come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds ranging from crime to the military.

Viper's Origin

Viper (Originally named Sabine) was a chemist in US residing in a city named Ascent. She did not turn into a radiant after the first light event. Viper's personality was polar to her current one, She used to work in chemicals strongly oriented to healing others ( Hence Omen's saying : Sabine, you used to heal with your skills ). However everything changed when ascent was attacked by the clones and viper was there around that time .Viper lost her family, her husband and 2 children who were as interested in chemistry as she was. (Inferred from the lines "Let's take from them, what they took from me... everything." ) This dropped Viper into the blank abyss where she slowly transformed into a sadist.

Over the next few years Viper started plotting her revenge and completely oriented her research to poison, she created toxic chemicals that reduces health of anyone who inhales them. She experimented on her small level victims that were involved in the attack on her city. (Inferred from the line "Bodies decompose after twelve hours in acid. There is no reason I know that." )

Association with Valorant Protocol

Brimstone (Founder and head of the Valorant Protocol) noticed Viper's abilities and offered her to join the Valorant protocol even though she was not a radiant. Viper being the sadist she has become and in a thirst for revenge decided to join the Valorant protocol.

Aftermath

After the brutal retakes of the cities, (Split, Ascent, Haven) Viper had her revenge, But the anger and the victories only partially put out the fire in her heart, she knew she needed to do more to find peace within, hence she continued working at valortant protocol, heading the medical wing and dedicated her time on healing chemicals to help the people of earth recover. But viper's underground pit which is a secret to everyone, even brimstone, stores her chemicals intact, ready to be used by her when called for.
