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.


A stevedore with ego the size of an airship, the Lash is more famous for his reputation as the champion of the underground fight club [[Bear Pit]].

=== Lore ===
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. 


== Update history ==
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 worker that unloads cargo from ships, suggesting that Lash could be a dockworker or a ship rigger that helps in the smuggling business.

* Jacob Lash is an asshole.
* In ''[[Neon Prime]]'', Lash owned a [[Neon Prime lore#Lash's Dojo|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! And put on a shelf for the better part of two decades. Uhf.}}</ref> Lash also used to date the character Ballista, and wanted to get them back after a break-up.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|file=Lash killed by ballista 01.mp3|transcription=It's fine. You know, lots of guys get the shit kicked out of them by their exes, right?}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|file=Lash killed by ballista 04.mp3|transcription=Get it together, Lash! You're not gonna win them back by losing!}}</ref>
** This was the tagline for ''Deadlock'' in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/641297020996289523 Steam Replay 2024].
* 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> The Boston Celtics have a [[wikipedia:Celtics–Knicks_rivalry|historic rivalry]] with the New York Knicks, which is referenced in other voice lines.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Trapper|file=trapper_select_03.mp3|transcription=First I summon a god, then I watch the Knickerbockers destroy the Celtics!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_seasonal_headline_09_alt_01.mp3|transcription=The Knickerbockers' losing streak continues, after a humiliating defeat to the Celtics. In unrelated news, no one likes the Celtics.}}</ref>
* 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>
* Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese translation as '''Chico T.,''' a pun on the word "chicote" (whip).
* Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese localization as '''"Chico T.",''' a pun on the word "chicote" ("whip").
* The description for ''Deadlock'' in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/641297020996289523 Steam Replay 2024] is ''"Jacob Lash is an asshole."''
* Lash's voice line that he "used to do an uppercut" seems to be a reference to a datamined unused ability of his, named "Shoryuken" in reference to ''[[wikipedia:Street_Fighter|Street Fighter]]''.
* Lash has not gone to college.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|file=Lash_kill_dynamo_02.mp3|transcription=And this is why I never bothered with college!}}</ref>
* "Thinking About Lash in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lash in the [[Hideout]].
* It appears that, at some point in development, he really did fight with uppercuts, as an ability named '''[[wikipedia:Street_Fighter|Shoryuken]]''' was datamined.
* Lash's killstreak voice line ''"Winning's my business and business is good"'' is a possible reference to the Megadeth song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-4WeOqSXSc ''Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!''].
* 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''. The phrase was popularized by the 1976 Broadway musical ''[[wikipedia:Your_Arms_Too_Short_to_Box_with_God|Your Arms Too Short to Box with God]].''
