Other way around. Viper believes in Ilias but not in her cause. He shoots monsters only if he thinks someone's gonna die because of them, but is perfectly willing to tip his hat to them otherwise. He's all for coexistence, he just goes about it differently than everyone else does.

Ilias's teachings are to him, signs of some serious loneliness issues, and he treats them as such. .He's no friend of Ilias Kreuz, and he's not fighting for the Recreation on any level since it embodies the worst of Ilias. He wants the best in Ilias that he thinks is struggling to get out. He wants what Ilias could be if someone believed in her enough to reach it.

And despite what I said about keeping him underpowered, I coudln't resist throwing in a couple more goodies for him. They just seemed like tools he'd have at his disposal.
