[edit] Character Biography

A member of the fourth Serpent Squad and the Serpent Society, Fer-de-Lance, or Ferdy as she is so often called, is a professional assassin from Puerto Rico. A fierce woman with retractable razor-sharp "fangs" on each of her arms, she was chosen by Viper to infiltrate the Serpent Society which would allow her to take over leadership.

After robbing a casino in Las Vegas, Sidewinder quickly invited Fer-de-Lance and the others to join his group. There, she feigned friendship with Diamondback, but quickly turned on her once the plan was set in motion. She found where Sidewinder and Diamondback were hiding, and attacked, but was electrocuted once her claw went into a computer machine. However, after Viper's retreat, Fer-de-Lance continued on with the Serpent Society. She, like fellow teammate Boomslang, is notorious for failing to accomplish the majority of her tasks. Presumably, she's currently still with the Society.
