'''Haze''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She works as a secret agent in the Sandman Division of [[OSIC]], fighting as a devastating assassin character who excels in '''[[Haze#Fixation|Fixating]]''' on foes that are out of position and swiftly ending them. Her '''[[Haze#Smoke Bomb|Smoke Bomb]]''' lets her sneak up on enemies before knocking them out with a '''[[Haze#Sleep Dagger|Sleep Dagger]]''' and unleashing a hail of gunfire at close range. In desperate situations, Haze can enter her '''[[Haze#Bullet Dance|Bullet Dance]]''' to avoid return fire while dispatching her remaining targets.

In her position at the Occult Security and Investigation Commission, Haze is regularly tasked with infiltrating the dreams of "Persons of Interest" to determine the threat they pose to the [[United States of America]]. If needed, she will be called upon to terminate those targets that are deemed too dangerous to be left alive.
