PERSONALITY
If Vipereye spoke up in a group situation you can bet that cats who know him would be looking at him strangely. He's not the loudest tom cat in the clan, nor is he very social. He never has been. But he was always a thoughtful cat, clever with solutions and brainstorming ideas. What he brings to the table isn't gibberish and is almost always thought through. That is if you can get him to speak up.
When he was a kit, despite the fact that Adderkit was the louder one, Viperkit was always the strategist of the two, often getting them into some kind of trouble. And he carried that into apprentice hood. And he was happy to share his thoughts and ideas with his brother, mentor, father, and mother. But ever since the death of Adderpaw, you'd be lucky to get anything out of him that was clever or thoughtful.
Believing that he was the reason for Adderpaw's death Vipereye has fallen into a state of following orders rather than giving advice. His thoughts and ideas are no longer of any worth so he keeps them to himself.
Despite all that Vipereye is an extremely loyal cat. He'd never been the leader, despite having deep thoughts and ideas, but was always the wingcat. He was incredibly loyal to Adderpaw when he was alive, and now forced to be loyal to Ashblaze.
As he is one of the quietest cats in the sense that he makes himself invisible to the clan he lives in, Vipereye is incredibly observant and makes good (or bad) use of this skill to essentially spy on his clanmates for Ashblaze. It's not something he does on purpose normally. Noticing something here and something there, and eventually, when Ashblaze asks him, Vipereye ends up telling him anyway.
Although he would love to tell the riverclan leader the truth about Ashblaze, there is literally no courage left in him. It's definitely easier to lie and to keep the rest of his clan safe that way than it is to start a huge fuss about it, not to mention they would find out about his part in all of this. And he doesn't want to be exiled or to be killed.
He's also terrified of death. Would he be accepted into Starclan? Did they know he was the reason for Adderpaw's death? Did they know that he helped Ashblaze?

HISTORY
He couldn't breathe, he could barely see. His vision tormented by tears and blur. The world seemed to spin around him, his heart pounding like the sound of a full warrior patrol heading out to battle. While his terror screamed inside him nothing would escape his maw. His throat was too tight and the only sounds that came out were small squeaks as his eyes darted from one cat to the other. One laying still on the ground, the other standing over him triumphantly.
There was no question from that moment on there could be no speaking of this day. Of this very moment, Viperpaw could never speak of it again. And in moons to come, he would completely forget this day, this moment, to the point where he would deny it ever happened if asked. His mind wouldn't let him remember due to the trauma it caused him. But he would always remember Ashpaw's ruthlessness. Mother's little Monster.
He always hated it when she would call him that. Most, if not all, of her attention, was on Ashkit from the beginning. Her own hatred forced her to give him all of that attention and Viperkit was jealous. They would talk behind Ashkit's back all the time. Pushing him around. Giving him hell as their jealousy grew and grew.
But here and now, staring at the dead body of Adderpaw as Ashpaw explained how he didn't die to the patrol who found them, Viperpaw could only regret how they treated him. He felt sick and was out for the count for several days, unable to reconcile in his mind what had actually happened that day. Even his mentor Oakleaf couldn't get him to leave the nest.
He was named Vipereye for his hunting prowess soon after.
All he could remember was his mother calling his name and even that couldn't get him out of the fear and the grief he was going through. Adderpaw was his best friend. and he should have been given a warrior's name too.
But it wasn't long before he found himself once again under the mercy of Ashpaw. This time he was the one laying on the ground motionless. Whispering "please... please... I promise I won't tell anyone. Please spare me..." He begged to the blood hungry tom quietly. "I'll do anything you want... please don't kill me." His fear only grew as their relationship grew. His strength dropping more and more as, now a warrior, Ashblaze manipulated and walked all over him.
What could he do? Ashblaze was a better fighter than he was, there was no way he could win a battle against him. Vipereye was at his mercy from the very beginning. Even back then it was Ashkit that held everyone's attention. And so Vipereye survives. Waiting for the day that Ashblaze gets bored of him and death takes him, or for death to take Ashblaze.
The screech of fighting cats filled the air, all giving attention to idea of trying not to die. None of them any the wiser to three cats behind the foliage, two of them struggling to gain the upper paw. The third watching from the sidelines, watching and cooing. Whispering instructions to the terrified Vipereye, knowing that he was fighting to the death.
Feeling that horrifying feeling of being on his back again. Again! How did he win then? If all seemed lost? Biting the other tom's neck, blood spilled out like a river, drenching Vipereye in his own doing. Knowing not that he was digging his own possible grave. That day he died, and it was not without honor, or so Vipereye thought. But the voice "Bite his neck" continued to haunt him.
Vipereye killed him.
And now he'll be forever haunted by the blood-covered, empty-eyed, very dead tomcat. "Your first masterpiece, brother."
