'''Drifter''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Something ancient has arrived in New York... a nameless horror known only as the Drifter. Relentless as time, as certain as death, once Drifter sets his eyes on a victim there's nothing they can do to stop him. They can try to run, but his Bloodscent drives him forward, leading him to isolated prey. Even if they manage to escape it doesn't matter, as Stalker's Mark allows Drifter to appear right behind his enemies before lunging in for the kill with a vicious Rend. Soon Eternal Night comes, and a faint whistling in the breeze will be joined by a chorus of screams.

Drifter was released on [[Update:August 27, 2025|August 27, 2025]] as the fifth hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six Heroes]] update contest.
