The ever-expanding collection of character art and profiles on the CFN Portal site has added the mysterious not-so-secret agent Crimson Viper to the Shadaloo Activity Report, with no less than three outfits: her S.I.N.-designed combat suit, casual wear, and an ensemble used as part of an undercover investigation.

Two more soldiers from Shadaloo’s specialized North American division have also been revealed, the stun baton wielding F7 and dual-flamethrower equipped Khyber, joining the ranks with Arcane and Blade.

Kung-Fu movie star Fei Long makes his debut to the Street Fighter V universe, and we also meet Hanna, an animal-loving strategist working with Cammy in Delta Red.

The English version of the CFN Portal is gradually adding localized versions of these SFV character profiles, but if you want to check out the full character profiles now, you can go to the Japanese Shadaloo Activity Report.

Previously, we’ve featured the CFN Portal’s zombie concept art, the Matsuda family, R. Mika’s Iwashi Ga Hama wrestling circuit, and an assortment of other Street Fighter-related characters.
