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.

“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.
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]
Lady Geist's apartment.[14]
Infernus has never visited Ixia.[15] Infernus "his bartender".[16] He also refers to Infernus as "Fern".[17]
Patrons will follow through with fulfilling his wish.[18][19]
Wraith's weekly poker game alongside 
Mo & Krill.[20][21] Wraith calls him Abe.[22] Lady Geist,[23] 
Paradox[24] and 
Yamato[25] have shown interest in taking the Tome off of Abrams. 
Seven is fascinated by the Tome, but isn't interested in taking it.[26]
Grey Talon says his "stepdaughter" is Ixian, like Abrams.[3] However, it seems that the intended term was "daughter-in-law", as evidenced by Talon's background and Abrams' response.
Victor asks Abrams for help with uncovering his origins.[27] 
Grey Talon: "You remind me of my stepdaughter." - 
Abrams: "Son married an Ixian?" - Grey Talon: "Yeah."
"I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over?" - "Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!"
Patrons in-game voice line (Abrams Start): "You protected the Tome as no one else could. But the time has come for you to free yourself from its burden."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Upgrade Seismic Impact): "I gotta figure out how to use this damn book before it gets me killed!"
Abrams' in-game voice line (Upgrade Seismic Impact): "I'll make that damned book work for me."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Upgrade Seismic Impact): "Oh, I'll be ready when this thing tries to fly away."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Upgrade Seismic Impact): "(Sigh) I'm going to be holding onto a book for dear life. Great."
Vyper's in-game voice line (killed Abrams) - "I'll buy him some whiskey, he'll get over it."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Killed Mo & Krill): "I'll buy you guys a round at Jezebel's later."
Infernus' in-game voice line (Killed Abrams): "I hate takin' out my regulars."
"We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice: some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us."
Abrams' in-game voice line - "Hope I didn't kill my bartender for nothing."
"Hey Fern, next time you're pouring me the good stuff, remember all the times I saved your life today."
"You're worried at the last minute that the Patrons are gonna screw us?" - 
"Detective, now more than ever we need hope, not skepticism."
Patron's in-game voice line (Abrams Start): "Trust doesn't come easy for you, Abrams. But know this: When you complete the ritual, I will hold up my end of the bargain."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Killed Wraith): "This better not kick me out of Sunday's card game..."
Abrams' in-game voice line (Killed Mo & Krill): "See you at the game Sunday, Krill!"
Lady Geist's in-game voice line (Killed Abrams): "Give me that Tome, Abrams!"
Paradox's in-game voice line (Killed Abrams): "The tome will be mine, Abrams!"
Abrams' in-game voice line (Killed Yamato): "You'll get this book over my dead body, Yamato."
"Heard you love a good mystery." - "Can you help me with mine?"
Haze's in-game voice line - "This man's a juggernaut!"
