| Jacob '''Lash''' is an asshole, and a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Lash is a brutal bruiser who eagerly initiates fights and chases down fleeing opponents. He leaps into combat with his '''[[Lash#Grapple|Grappling hook]]''', '''[[Lash#Flog|Flogging]]''' his foes with a life-stealing whip and stomping the ground with a '''[[Lash#Ground Strike|Ground Strike]]''' that damages multiple targets. If the enemy team groups up, Lash can pick them all up at once and '''[[Lash#Death Slam|Death Slam]]''' them into the ground.

| {{Update history}} | | Lash is a champion of the [[Bear Pit]], an underground arena of blood sport where spectators gamble on matches. [[Bebop]] is another known pit fighter and Lash’s titular rival. Lash mocks [[Wraith]] for betting on Bebop, and Wraith teases Lash because he lost to Bebop "one time".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Lash|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith... Like always.}}</ref><ref>[[Lash/Quotes#Conversations|Lash and Wraith conversation]]</ref> Wraith heard from [[The Mendoza Syndicate|Mendoza]] that Lash was going to "take a dive" in a fight. Instead, Lash won the fight, resulting in Wraith losing "a lot" of money.<ref>[[:File:Discord @Kaori- Lash and Wraith convo audio.wav|Lash and Wraith conversation]]</ref><ref>2024-09-02 - [[Kaori]]; [[:File:Discord @Kaori- Lash and Wraith convo.png|Deadlock Discord]] - ''"In honor of lore channel being born here's lash giving wraith some words of widom"''</ref> |

| == 3D model ==
| | Lash is speculated to have a sailor background, given his anchor and the various ornaments that he wears. However, instead of a traditional nautical sailor, he more likely was an aeronaut, a sailor of the skies. Air travel is commonly done by airships that use zephyrs, or wind spirits, for air travel.<ref>2024-08-31 - [[Yoshi]]; [[:File:Yoshi Lore Hint from Discord.jpg|Deadlock Discord]] - ''"a random lore thing is that airplanes aren't a thing in this world, they use airships instead powered by wind spirits (zephyrs)"''</ref> On Lash’s left arm, he adorns a ship’s anchor tattoo surrounded by a cloud-like emblem, or possibly a zephyr.<ref>[[:File:Discord @Willkels- Connection Between Lash Tattoo and Zephyr.jpg|@willkels's Discord message]] about the connection between Lash's shoulder tattoo and Zephyrs.</ref> Additionally, Lash’s aptitude of air mobility and the ship’s horn sound on his ultimate ability “Death Slam” further imply an aeronaut background. [[Mo & Krill]] call Lash a “stevedore”,<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mo & Krill|file=krill_ping_see_lash_02.mp3|transcription=Oh, look. A stevedore!}}</ref> a person that helps unloads cargo from ships, which suggest that Lash could be a dockworker or a ship rigger that helps in the smuggling business. |

| | In ''[[Neon Prime]]'', an earlier development version of ''Deadlock'', Lash owned a dojo. He taunted [[Kali]], a former [[Bear Pit]] competitor, for coming out of retirement only to go back to a 2 decade hiatus after losing to Bebop.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Lash|file=Lash kill kali 01.mp3|transcription=Not gonna dunk on you, Kali. You were a hell of a fighter before you retired. Lived in obscurity, came out of retirement in a desperate bid for relevancy, only to get injured by Bebop. Ouch!

| | * Lash is voiced by [[wikipedia:Andrew Bowen|Andrew Bowen]], who also voices Johnny Cage in the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise. |
| * Lash’s parry animation was changed after streamer JoeyCheerio shared feedback during a livestream that was being watched by Valve Senior Animator [[Jamaal Bradley]]. He suggested the move should feel more like a heavy, belly-first chest smash, similar to King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The updated animation was introduced in a later patch, with Bradley stating "we appreciate our players".<ref name="CheerioParry">{{YouTubeCite|v-2-x78d5pA|I'm the reason Valve changed Lash's Parry}}</ref> | | * The [[Shopkeeper]] calls Lash "the poster boy for the [[wikipedia:Boston_Celtics|Celtics]]".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Shopkeeper|file=Shopkeeper_hotdog_t4_lash_01.mp3|transcription=Wow, if it isn't the poster boy for the Celtics!}}</ref> This suggests that Lash may be [[wikipedia:Boston|Bostonian]]. |

| * Lash's Ground Strike upgrade voice line ''"They're about to learn that their arms are too short to box with god"'' is a possible reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRWG0mg3tHE a quote] by pro wrestler [[wikipedia:CM_Punk|CM Punk]] to The Rock in ''WWE''.
