'''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.

Abrams is [[Ixia|Ixian]].<ref name=":0">[[Abrams/Quotes#Conversations|Grey Talon and Abrams conversation]] - {{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}: ''"You remind me of my stepdaughter."'' - {{PageRef|name=Abrams}}: ''"Son married an Ixian?"'' - {{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}: ''"Yeah."''</ref> He was born in Ixia and seems to speak their native language.<ref name=":1">2024-09-03 - [[Yoshi]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"at this time in the world of Deadlock there are plenty of Ixians that are born on Earth: Infernus and Grey Talon's daughter-in-law (RIP)."''</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Apollo|number=4}}</ref> Unlike {{PageRef|name=Infernus}}, Abrams does not demonstrate control over fire.

Abrams' goal in the ritual is to destroy the Tome.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Dynamo|number=3|hero_quote1=Dynamo|quote1=I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over?|hero_quote2=Abrams|quote2=Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=The Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Abrams start): ''"You protected the Tome as no one else could.

Abrams expresses little control over the Tome.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"I gotta figure out how to use this damn book before it gets me killed!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"I'll make that damned book work for me."''</ref> The Tome often tries to fly away, which is weaponised by Abrams and allows him to cast Seismic Impact.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"Oh, I'll be ready when this thing tries to fly away."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"(Sigh) I'm going to be holding onto a book for dear life.

Outside of his case with the Tome, Abrams has also been investigating the [[Paradox Organisation]].<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Paradox|number=2|hero_quote1=Paradox|quote1=We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them.

Since his car was firebombed, Abrams has been forced to use the bus to get around.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Rem}}'s in-game [[Rem/Quotes#Naptime Taunt|voice line]] (Naptime taunt): ''"Don't worry, Abrams, you'll make the bus..."''</ref>
