'''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.

== Background ==
{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
 
A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn’t build an expedition team fast enough. Assembling the brightest minds of his generation, Kelvin and his team set forth with much fanfare.
 
They never returned.
 
A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes. The crew chipped away at the ice, looking to get a closer look at the body and were shocked when Kelvin opened his eyes. They checked his vitals… there was no pulse. They sought to bandage his open wounds… there was no blood. And yet, impossibly, Kelvin was "alive".
 
Having no memory of what happened on the expedition, Kelvin is looking for answers.}}

* 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}}
