'''Abrams''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging enemies in close combat. Abrams is a juggernaut on the battlefield, tapping into the dark power of his Tome to [[Abrams#Siphon Life|'''Siphon Life''']] from nearby enemies and utilizing his [[Abrams#Infernal Resilience|'''Infernal Resilience''']] to brush off the damage he takes. With a sudden [[Abrams#Shoulder Charge|'''Shoulder Charge''']] or area stun from his [[Abrams#Seismic Impact|'''Seismic Impact''']], he can aggressively initiate fights and isolate fragile targets from the rest of their team to set up a devastating burst of damage.

A capable and well-known detective of New York, Abrams solved crimes ranging from kidnappings to ritual murders. One day, a mysterious Tome was left on his desk with a note of "Don't let them have it" scrawled in Onyx blood; followed by car bombings and break-ins to his office. Now, Abrams is trying to figure out just what the hell is going on.
