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 Siphon Life from nearby enemies and utilizing his Infernal Resilience to brush off the damage he takes. With a sudden Shoulder Charge or area stun from his 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.

Hard hitting, hard headed, and hard drinking; Detective Abrams has been a fixture on the New York investigating scene for years. From stolen art, to missing persons, to ritual murders; Abrams didn't just take any case that came across his desk... he solved them.
But his days of following cheating spouses came to an end the day he opened his office door and found The Tome sitting on his desk.
No instruction was left for him save for a brief note scrawled in onyx blood that read "Don't let them have it". Abrams hasn't figured where the thing came from; but seeing as his home has been broken into, his office tossed on 3 different occasions, and his car firebombed he has a vested interest in figuring out what the hell is going on.
