== Overview ==
Pocket's motivation in the [[ritual]] is to stop their father, [[Maximilian Fairfax]],<ref>{{PageRef|name=Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Pocket start): ''"You've overcome much, Pocket, but to stop your father you'll need more power than you could imagine.

=== Biography ===
[[File:Walter fairfax.PNG|thumb|177x177px|Walter Fairfax statue]]
Arin Fairfax was the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, set to one day take over the organization. Before their assassination, Arin was attending [[Blackmore Academy]]<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Apollo|number=2|hero_quote1=Apollo|quote1=You went to Blackmore? (...) Sounds like you miss it.}}</ref> and was betrothed to {{HeroIcon|Mina}} due to an arranged marriage.<ref name=":1">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill synth 03.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I should have been a Fairfax.}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill synth 02.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=You ruined my life.}}</ref><ref name=":9" />

{{HeroIcon|Calico}} was the assassin hired to kill Arin, who survived because the bullet missed their heart.<ref>[[Pocket/Quotes#Conversations|Pocket and Calico conversations]]</ref> It's implied that {{AbilityIcon|Enchanter's Satchel}} also helped Arin survive.<ref name=":10">{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Enchanter's Satchel|voice line]] (upgrade Enchanter's Satchel): ''"It saved my life before, and it will do it again."''</ref><ref name=":11">{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Enchanter's Satchel|voice line]] (upgrade Enchanter's Satchel): ''"This is how I stayed alive all these years."''</ref> After the assassination attempt, Arin was protected by {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}<ref name=":5">{{VoiceLineCite|Mo & Krill|file=krill_kill_pocket_06.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=We protected you, Pocket, and you betrayed us!}}</ref><ref name=":6">[[Mo & Krill/Quotes#Conversations|Mo & Krill and Pocket conversation 1]] - {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}: ''"We weren't going to let you do this alone. (...) I know. That's why we're facing it as a family."''</ref> and cut ties with all people from their past life, as they didn't know who could be trusted.<ref name=":02">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Dynamo|hero2=Pocket|number=3}}</ref> Taking up a new name as "Pocket", they now try their best to hide their true identity, although their indispensable magic suitcase and designer jacket may attract unwanted attention.<ref name=":0" /> Some time after the assassination, Pocket left New York before returning to participate in the ritual.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Pre-Game|voice line]] (pre-game ping): ''"New York got a lot more intense than I remembered."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Pocket): ''"Pocket, you were doomed the moment you returned to New York."''</ref> Pocket is 23 years old at the time of the ritual.<ref name=":12">{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s backstory</ref>

Pocket believes that their father, Maximilian Fairfax, was behind their attempted assassination.<ref name=":13">{{VoiceLineCite|Pocket|file=pocket_select_04.mp3|transcription=My father's gift for my 18th birthday was a bullet to the chest. Today is my chance to say 'thank you'.}}</ref> Around the time of their assassination, Pocket took their suitcase from their father.<ref name=":10" /><ref name=":11" /> Pocket's magical suitcase, while powerful, was never meant to be used as a weapon,<ref>{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Barrage|voice line]] (upgrade Barrage): ''"This was never supposed to be a weapon."''</ref> and Pocket is trying to keep their suitcase away from Maximilian.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Pocket|file=pocket_select_02.mp3|transcription=I'll do whatever it takes to keep this case from my father.}}</ref>

Pocket likely has at least one younger sibling, since they're described as the "eldest heir" to Fairfax Industries.

A statue of Walter Fairfax, presumably an ancestor of Pocket, can be found in the garden behind the [[Baroness Hotel]]. Walter is depicted as an old man with frogs crawling over his legs. The statue also appears in Pocket's background in the hero select screen.

=== Personality ===
Pocket's years spent on the run have shaped them into a resilient person with strong ideals.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Situational|context=(escape on zipline)|transcription=I've survived death before. I can do it again.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Kill_Enemy_Hero|context=(generic kill)|transcription=I didn't come this far just to die now.}}</ref> Pocket is not especially talkative,<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Grey Talon|hero_quote1=Grey Talon|quote1=You're not a talker, are you?|hero_quote2=Pocket|quote2=Not really.}}</ref> and they typically push people away when they try to offer them support.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Abrams|number=1}}</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Bebop|number=2}}</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Holliday|number=2}}</ref> Others often describe them as "sad" and "angsty" as a result.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=They had sad eyes.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Celeste|quotes=Celeste/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I hate dealing with angsty people.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Graves|quotes=Graves/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=Don't try to out-angst me.}}</ref> While they have a somewhat gruff exterior, they are more amicable and soft-spoken around those that they trust;<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Allies|context=(pass Mo & Krill on zipline)|transcription=You guys take care of yourselves, okay?}}</ref> they also have a cheeky side to their otherwise serious personality.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Flying_Cloak|context=(upgrade Flying Cloak)|transcription=Let's get tricksy.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Flying_Cloak|context=(upgrade Flying Cloak)|transcription=I love this thing!}}</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Grey Talon|number=3|hero_quote1=Pocket|quote1=The bow is a little on the nose for a hunter, don't you think?}}</ref>

Pocket wants to build a better world.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#select|context=(select)|transcription=We can build a better world.}}</ref> Pocket hates those whom they perceive to be complicit with Fairfax's actions and making the world worse.<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8">{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed McGinnis): ''"You could've made the world a better place.

Pocket refuses to take up their old family name until they're no longer ashamed of it.<ref name=":14">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Select|transcription=I'll use my family's name when I'm no longer ashamed of it.}}</ref> That said, Pocket still sees themselves as a Fairfax.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#situational|context=(last alive)|transcription=I'm a Fairfax. I can handle the pressure.}}</ref> Pocket worries that, by killing people in the ritual, they're turning more and more into someone they never wanted to be: their father.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#killstreak|context=(killstreak)|transcription=I'm becoming someone I didn't want to be.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Kill enemy hero|context=(generic kill)|transcription=I'm becoming more and more like my father.}}</ref> Pocket views themselves as the rightful heir of Fairfax Industries.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#killstreak|context=(killstreak)|transcription=I am the rightful heir of Fairfax Industries and it will be mine.}}</ref>

Pocket doesn't expect to win the ritual.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#post-game|context=(post-game ping)|transcription=Wasn't the outcome I was expecting.}}</ref>

=== Appearance ===
Pocket is a slim, light-skinned person of presumably mixed Asian-White descent (based on their facial features and the appearance of their father Maximilian and ancestor Walter). They have brown eyes and short black hair with edges pointed upwards. They wear an expensive but ragged dark green jacket with 6 pockets, fingerless black gloves, an orange scarf with edges resembling skeleton hands, a white shirt with a large collar, orange vest, black necktie, brown pants and black shoes. Their inconspicuous magic suitcase contains many frogs, including a large one that attaches to the [[ziplines]] by its tongue. Their weapon is a [[wikipedia:Nock_gun|Nock volley gun]], though it behaves as a shotgun.

=== Gender Identity ===
While Pocket's gender identity hasn't been directly stated, they are implied to be [[wikipedia:Non-binary|non-binary]] and are exclusively referred to by gender-neutral "they/them" pronouns, including by characters who knew their past identity and call Pocket by their given name "Arin", such as {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} and {{HeroIcon|Mina}}, as well as the [[Patron]]'s heralds to Mina.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Dynamo|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Enemy Heroes|transcription=They couldn't hide in that case forever!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Ally Heroes|transcription=Stupid Arin with their stupid scarf and their stupid case and their stupid family!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=The Hidden King|quotes=Mina/Quotes#Patrons|context=(to Mina)|transcription=Once you complete the ritual, Arin will realize their folly, and the other vampires, your worth.}}</ref>

The only known instances in which Pocket is referred to by gendered terms are in ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'', in which their father [[Maximilian Fairfax]] refers to Pocket as his "son"<ref name=":17" /> (while the visual novel is partially outdated and may be rewritten, it is considered canon for the purposes of this wiki), the [[Shopkeeper]] calling Pocket a "good-lookin‘ son of a bitch",<ref>[[Pocket/Voice lines#Shopkeeper]]</ref> and {{HeroIcon|Mina}}'s backstory indirectly referring to Pocket as her "fiancé".<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Mina|quote=Mina wept; not for the life of her fiancé, but for the future that was stolen from her.}}</ref> Other voice lines referring to Pocket as "he/him" have been removed<ref>Pocket's [[Pocket/Quotes#Removed/Unused Voice Lines|removed character interactions]]</ref> and were confirmed as unintentional by developer [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]].<ref>2026-06-16 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord (replying to a comment about Celeste referring to Pocket as "he") - ''"no, it was just a mistake - no intention behind it"''</ref> (Notably, another character who deliberately hides her identity, {{HeroIcon|Paradox}}, refers to herself as a woman and uses "she/her" pronouns.)<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Paradox|hero2=Haze|number=2|hero_quote1=Paradox|quote1=This may surprise you, Haze, but as a Scottish woman I don't particularly give a shit about American artifacts.}}</ref>

=== Information ===
Pocket's backstory and abilities have some similarities to the Biblical [[wikipedia:Plagues_of_Egypt|Plagues of Egypt]]: the death of the firstborn, the plague of frogs, and the pestilence ({{AbilityIcon|Affliction}}).

== Character Relationships ==

=== [[Maximilian Fairfax]] and Pocket's mother ===
Pocket believes their father, Maximilian Fairfax, was behind their attempted assassination.<ref name=":13" /> Pocket wants to stop their father rather than kill him, although Pocket believes that Maximilian would rather Pocket try to kill him.<ref name=":3" /> 

Pocket dislikes their parents and is ashamed of their family's name.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":15" /><ref name=":14" /> While trapped in the [[Baroness Hotel]], Pocket is taunted by {{HeroIcon|The Doorman}} who tells Pocket that they have no home and that their parents wanted Pocket dead.<ref>{{HeroIcon|The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Hotel Guest Taunt - Hero Specific|voice line]] (taunt Pocket): ''"Arin, your mother and father love you, and would be glad to see you come ho-... [Breaks into laughter] Sorry, I tried, but I couldn’t keep a straight face, you have no home."''</ref><ref>{{HeroIcon|The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Hotel Guest Taunt - Hero Specific|voice line]] (taunt Pocket): ''"Why couldn’t you have just died, like your family wanted? It would have saved us a lot of trouble."''</ref> Pocket believes their father is "not a good man",<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Dynamo|number=2}}</ref> and their mother "isn't worth saving" and didn't mourn Pocket's death,<ref name=":4">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Pocket|hero2=Bebop|number=1|hero_quote1=Pocket|quote1=You're fighting to save your mom, right?|hero_quote2=Bebop|quote2=That's right.|hero_quote3=Pocket|quote3=Hah, it must be nice having a mother worth saving.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Bebop)|transcription=He's lucky. At least he has a mother who'll mourn him.}}</ref> and compares her to {{HeroIcon|Yamato}}.<ref name=":16" />

Maximilian seems to know that Pocket survived, as in ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'', he asks {{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}} if she knows where Pocket is.<ref name=":17">[[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_C9nQ_Ri0&t=1394s Chapter 5B]</ref> In a seasonal [[The New York Oracle|New York Oracle]] headline, Maximilian donates "a small fortune" to New York orphanages, telling the press that "nobody should be without family on the holidays".<ref>[[Newscaster|Newscaster seasonal headline 4]]: ''"This month, Maximilian Fairfax made headlines after donating a small fortune to New York orphanages. When asked about his generous act, the CEO of Fairfax Industries replied: "No one should be without family on the holidays"."''</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} ===
Dynamo is Pocket's godfather. He recognizes Pocket and says he would have helped them if he knew they were alive. Pocket didn't tell Dynamo that they survived because they weren't sure if they could trust him.<ref name=":02" /><ref>{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Dynamo): ''"I knew I couldn't count on you."''</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}} ===
Mo & Krill protected Pocket after their assassination, and they regard each other as family.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|file=Synth kill krill 04.mp3|context=(killed Mo & Krill)|transcription=I thought we were friends.}}</ref> They love each other.<ref>[[Mo & Krill/Quotes#Conversations|Mo & Krill and Pocket conversation 2]] - {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}: ''"We love you too."''</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Calico}} ===
Calico was the assassin sent to kill Pocket 5 years before the events of the ritual.<ref name=":12" />

Calico enjoys "tying up loose ends" if she kills Pocket during the ritual.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Calico|file=Nano kill synth 03.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I love tying up loose ends.}}</ref> She also mentions that [[Maximilian Fairfax]] will "have questions",<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Calico|file=Nano kill synth 04.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I'm sure Maximilian will have questions.}}</ref> lining up with Pocket's belief that Maximilian Fairfax was the one who sent Calico to kill Pocket.

Pocket, naturally, dislikes Calico for almost killing them.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Calico|hero2=Pocket|number=1|hero_quote1=Pocket|quote1=Go to Hell.}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Pocket}}'s in-game [[Pocket/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (ally Calico killed): ''"Calico got what she deserved!"''</ref>

=== {{HeroIcon|Mina}} ===
Mina was Pocket's fiancée in an arranged marriage.

Mina hates Pocket for "ruining her life", as their assassination meant Mina couldn't become a Fairfax.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":9">{{PageRef|name=Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Mina start): ''"You may not be a Fairfax, but you are something greater. You are Mina Ha! The woman who heralds the Hidden King's arrival to this plane!"''</ref>

It's implied that Mina and Pocket never loved each other, as she only ever cared about getting their last name.<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Mina|quote=Mina wept; not for the life of her fiancé, but for the future that was stolen from her. Why couldn’t the killer just wait until after the wedding? Then she’d have the last name she always dreamed of and no one would even have to pretend to love anyone.}}</ref> It's currently unknown what Pocket thinks of Mina.

== Character Interactions ==

* Despite Pocket's desire to hide their true identity, the other characters seem to be aware of their background and refer to them as an "upstart",<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mirage|file=Mirage ping see synth 02.mp3|transcription=The upstart is here!}}</ref> a "trust fund baby"<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Holliday|file=Astro_ping_see_pocket_02.mp3|transcription=I see the trust fund baby!}}</ref> and a "spoiled brat".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Infernus|file=Inferno ping see synth 02.mp3|transcription=I see that spoiled brat.}}</ref>

* When Pocket was younger, they idolized {{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Kelvin)|transcription=I idolized him when I was younger.}}</ref>
* Pocket used to be a big fan of {{PageRef|name=Paradox}},<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Paradox)|transcription=I used to be a big fan!}}</ref> but now sees her as "just another rich asshole".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|quotes=Pocket/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Paradox)|transcription=You can dress up however you want but at the end of the day, you're just another rich asshole.}}</ref>
* {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} recognizes Pocket, but mistakes them for a street urchin.

* {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}, {{HeroIcon|Rem}}, and {{HeroIcon|Vyper}} like Pocket's scarf.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Ivy|quotes=Ivy/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I like your scarf!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Rem|quotes=Rem/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I like your scarf.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Vyper|quotes=Vyper/Quotes#Hero-Specific_Voice_Lines|context=(pass Pocket on zipline)|transcription=I don't know how, but they can really pull off a scarf.}}</ref>

== Removed Lore ==

* In Pocket's original model, their left hand had an eye tattoo on its back and a decayed skin tissue that glowed with the suitcase. This was removed when their model was updated. However, the current model is still not in a finished state, as it has clipping issues and flat textures.

=== Removed character interactions ===
* Pocket dislikes {{PageRef|Wrecker}} and wants to dismantle Eldritch Tactical Solutions.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|file=Synth ally wrecker killed in lane 01.mp3|context=(killed Wrecker)|transcription=I'm glad Wrecker's dead.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Pocket|file=Synth kill wrecker 04.mp3|context=(killed Wrecker)|transcription=I'll dismantle ETS if it's the last thing I do.}}</ref>

=== Neon Prime - Synth ===
[[File:Synth.png|thumb|134x134px|''Neon Prime's'' Synth]]
In late ''[[Neon Prime]]''/''[[Shadowline]]'', Pocket was named '''Synth''' and was later named '''Fairfax'''. Synth's model was a modified version of ''Team Fortress 2'''s [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scout Scout] with {{HeroIcon|Holliday}}'s head.

Synth/Fairfax was trying to take over Fairfax Industries, similarly to Pocket.<ref>{{HeroIcon|Haze}}'s removed [[Haze/Quotes#Enemy - Neon Prime|voice line]] (killed Fairfax): ''"You'll never take over your fathers company."''</ref> However, characters were a lot more hostile towards Fairfax and often mentioned that they were "disowned".<ref>{{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}'s removed [[Lady Geist/Quotes#Enemies - Neon Prime|voice line]] (killed Fairfax): ''"Your parents were wise to disown you."''</ref><ref>{{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s removed [[Mo & Krill/Quotes#Neon Prime - Enemies|voice line]] (killed Fairfax): ''"No wonder their father disowned them."''</ref>
