'''Kelvin''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a dedicated, undead scientist with a bevy of freezing abilities to slow his enemies and heal allies. He can conjure an '''[[Kelvin#Ice Path|Ice Path]]''' under his feet for faster movement for himself and his team, throwing '''[[Kelvin#Frost Grenade|Frost Grenades]]''' and firing his '''[[Kelvin#Arctic Beam|Arctic Beam]]''' at nearby enemies to set them up for his companions' attacks. Tactical usage of his '''[[Kelvin#Frozen Shelter|Frozen Shelter]]''' ice dome can protect and heal allies while trapping hapless opponents.

As an adventuring scientist, Kelvin was particularly excited for rumors of an 8th [[Astral Gates|Astral Gate]] opening in the Arctic, developing an expedition to hunt for it. However, something went wrong with the expedition, vanishing into the snow and leaving Kelvin's frozen, animate body to be discovered over a year later. With no memory of the expedition, Kelvin seeks the Patrons for answers.

|notes=* All buffs applied by the ability are granted in a radius of 5 meters, this is not affected by radius increasing items like Greater Expansion. You are still allowed to imbue it unlike other abilities unaffected by Greater Expansion

* Similar to the Lady Geist Soul Exchange Bug, upon upgrading to the T3, all abilities, items, and statistics increased by spirit power will falsely show increases to their power as if the additional spirit power is always active. This increase will only account for the flat increase in spirit power and not the percentage bonus. The apparent flat increase in power is affected by Boundless Spirits 1.15x to spirit. In reality however the formula is this Spirit Power x 1.15 Boundless Spirit x 1.35 Frozen Path + 20. So unlike how most temporary spirit power buffs work where they are increased by Boundless Spirit it doesn't affect the flat power increase of this ability}}

== Trivia ==

* Kelvin is the base unit for temperature of the International System of Units and the Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale that starts at the lowest possible temperature, 0 K, which is equal to -459.6° Fahrenheit or -273.1° Celsius.
* Kelvin narrated an old version of the tutorial.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|file=Kelvin tutorial lane info.wav|transcription=First things first: We need to take out that Guardian that's at the end of the lane. By destroying it, we don't just get closer to the final objective, we earn money and ability points for the entire team.}}</ref>
* In a removed voice line that played when upgrading his Ice Path, Kelvin referenced a [[Shadowline]], the former name of the [[Ziplines]] during an early version of Deadlock of the same name.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|quotes=Kelvin/Quotes#Abilities_2|transcription=Sometimes, you don't have access to the shadowline.}}</ref>
* Kelvin's suit in [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']] was used as the base for [[Viscous]]' current model.
* "Chilling in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Kelvin in the [[Hideout]].
