'''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 [[Drifter#Bloodscent|'''Bloodscent''']] drives him forward, leading him to isolated prey. Even if they manage to escape it doesn't matter, as '''[[Drifter#Stalker's Mark|Stalker's Mark]]''' allows Drifter to appear right behind his enemies before lunging in for the kill with a vicious [[Drifter#Rend|'''Rend''']]. Soon [[Drifter#Eternal Night|'''Eternal Night''']] comes, and a faint whistling in the breeze will be joined by a chorus of screams.

* The brief reveal of affected enemies lasts {{DataProp|Eternal Night|RevealDuration.Value}} seconds and can be increased by [[Ability Duration]] items. Eternal Night's base duration being increased at Tier 3 does not increase the reveal duration.
* The sprint buff given to Drifter also causes him to build up to his max sprint speed significantly faster, meaning items like {{ItemIcon|Trophy Collector}} and {{ItemIcon|Shadow Weave}} that may normally take a while to gain speed give much more immediate effects.
* Activating Eternal Night while on the ground will instantly stop all of Drifter's movement for the duration of its casting time ({{DataProp|Eternal Night|AbilityCastDelay}}s); However, momentum is preserved when the ability is cast mid-air.
* When it finishes casting, Eternal Night will cause Drifter to instantly disengage from [[Combat]], giving him his Out of Combat [[Health Regen]] and [[Sprint Speed]] regardless of how recently Drifter has damaged or been damaged by an enemy.
** Eternal Night cannot proc {{ItemIcon|Spellslinger}} as the ability causes Drifter to leave Combat before it is considered cast.
| tips =
* Performing a [[Dash Jump]] before casting Eternal Night mid-air will let Drifter retain some movement and land by the time the casting animation is over.
