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 Fixating on foes that are out of position and swiftly ending them. 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 of America. If needed, she will be called upon to terminate those targets that are deemed too dangerous to be left alive.

Backstory

See Haze/Lore for more story content.

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.

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,[1] and debunked popular fan guesses of Eve Lindley[2] and Meli Grant.[3]
  • Neon Prime "Haze v1" was first leaked within Dota 2 files in October 29th 2020 update. The png is named "clothchain_extrude_twist"
  • 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.
  • "Sleep Walking in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Haze in the Hideout.
  • The OSIC Sandman Division is named after the Sandman, a mythical creature in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore that brings dreams to sleeping children by sprinkling sand in their eyes.
