Abrams is a Hero in Deadlock. He is a hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging groups of enemies and relying on his high health, high damage output, and life draining ability to stay in the fight. With a powerful area stun and a devastating shoulder charge, Abrams can isolate fragile targets from the rest of the team and set-up his more damaging allies to finish them off.

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" scrolled 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.

Background

See Abrams/Lore for more story content.

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.

Lore

Abrams is Ixian.[3] However, unlike Infernus, he does not demonstrate control over fire.

Abrams' goal in the ritual is to destroy the Tome.[4][5]

Abrams expresses little control over the Tome.[6][7] The Tome often tries to fly away, which is weaponised by Abrams and allows him to cast Seismic Impact.[8][9]

Abrams likes to drink whiskey.[10] He also frequents Jezebel's.[11][12]

Outside of his case with the Tome, Abrams has also been investigating the Paradox Organisation.[13]
