Haze is a Hero in Deadlock. She works as a secret agent in the Sandman Division of OSIC, fighting as a devastating assassin character with a specialty in isolating and eliminating her foes. Her Smoke Bomb lets her sneak up on enemies before knocking them out with a Sleep Dagger and unleashing a hail of gunfire at close range. In desperate situations, Haze can enter her 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. If needed, she will be called upon to terminate those targets that are deemed too dangerous to be left alive.
Throw a dagger that damages and sleeps the target. Sleeping targets wake up shortly after being damaged. Throwing a Dagger does not break your invisibility. Sleep Dagger does not interrupt enemies' channeling abilities.

The Occult Security and Investigation Commission is a black box government organization that makes the CIA look transparent. It falls on the men, women, and entities of the OSIC to keep the country safe from sinister forces that are beyond the capabilities of local law enforcement.
As a member of the notorious Sandman Division, Haze is routinely tasked with infiltrating the dreams of persons of interest, to assess their threat level, and if needed... to put them to sleep.
Lore
Haze is fighting in the ritual on behalf of the OSIC.[1][2] Her wish is unknown, although the Patrons tempt her to wish herself a new life.[3][4][5] She has prepared extensively for the ritual by performing drills, research, stretching, divination, and fortune telling.[6]
Haze works for the OSIC because she "loves her country".[7] She acknowledges that the OSIC is flawed, but in her eyes the ends justify the means.[8] She is extremely loyal to her superiors and her job,[9][10][11] although it's implied that she doesn't love being a Sandman.[12][13]
Haze is nicknamed "Dreamwalker" and "Dreamstalker".[14]
Rem sees Haze when he sleeps and claims that "she's him".[23][24]
Rem seems to have caused Haze some trouble prior to the ritual,[25] but how the two met and how they know each other is currently unknown.
Haze and Grey Talon know each other. She refers to him by his first name and sent a card when his son died.[26] They haven't seen each other for "a while".[27]
Haze takes Viscous and his problems seriously.[28] She wants to know more about The Adversary in case more creatures like it come through The Deep's astral gate.[29]
When on the same team, Seven teases Haze for working alongside him and asks how soon will they start fighting each other once the ritual is over.[50][51]

Trivia
Haze has a model in the files named "Haze_v2," which includes blue skin and a red beret. Its textures refer to her as "fr_haze".
Haze's voice actress is currently unknown. Developer Kaori said that she is voiced by a prolific performer,[52] and debunked popular fan guesses of Eve Lindley[53] and Meli Grant.[54]
Haze originally had kill lines against Infernus, implying that her intervention is why Infernus was able to walk free after his criminal youth.[55][56] These lines were removed in the Six New Heroes Update.
The artwork previously used as the game's Steam cover and loading screen showed a slightly older version of Haze wearing a yellow jacket instead of orange.
Haze and Yamato are currently the only heroes whose Ammo is directly affected by Spirit Power.
"Sleep Walking in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Haze in the Hideout.

↑Haze And Vindicta Conversation 2 - "I'm not a zealot. The OSIC isn't perfect and neither is the world. You of all people should understand that the ends justify the means."
↑The Doorman's in-game voice line (Taunt Haze): "The OSIC is lucky to have you, Haze. Your commitment to your work is an inspiration, but even you deserve some R&R. Why don’t you take a PTO day at The Baroness?"

↑Viscous And Haze Conversation 3 - "Thanks for your help, Haze. Not everyone takes the problems of the Deep seriously." - "We don't live in a vacuum. If there's a problem in the Deep, it's only a matter of time before it's a problem on land."
↑Viscous And Haze Conversation 1 - "Viscous, after the ritual, I need you to tell me about the Adversary." - "But after the ritual, the Adversary will be gone!" - "Yes, but there may be others, and the OSIC needs to be prepared."
↑Haze And Abrams Conversation 2 - "You should consider working for the OSIC." - "I think you guys have enough people who can kick down doors." - "We do. We don't have enough guys who care what doors are getting kicked down."
↑Haze And Vindicta Conversation 1 - "Are you interested in joining the OSIC?" - "I think I've had my fill of state-sanctioned murder." - "So that's a no."
