'''Pocket''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. With a powerful shotgun and highly mobile abilities, they thrive in close encounters. Channelling their magic briefcase to Barrage groups of enemies with spiritual bursts, Pocket may use their sentient cloak to teleport beside their targets and unload their shotgun; disappearing inside their Enchanter's Satchel to avoid return fire. In larger groups, they can unleash an Affliction to slowly eat away at their health, setting their enemies up for a devastating attack.

The eldest heir to [[Fairfax Industries]], Arin "Pocket" Fairfax has been in hiding for over 5 years after a failed assassination attempt. Fearing for their life and wishing to chart their own path, the newly nicknamed Pocket has been keeping their original identity secret while investigating who had tried to kill them.

=== Lore ===
Pocket likely has at least one younger sibling, as their background calls them the "eldest heir" to [[Fairfax Industries]].

In ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'', Pocket's father, [[Maximilian Fairfax|Maximilian]], asks [[Lady Geist|Geist]] where Pocket is.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_C9nQ_Ri0&t=1394s Chapter 5B]</ref> Pocket believes Maximilian was behind their attempted assassination,<ref>{{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> and wants to keep their magic suitcase away from him.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Pocket|file=pocket_select_02.mp3|transcription=I'll do whatever it takes to keep this case from my father.}}</ref>

Pocket's left arm, which is holding the suitcase, seems to have decayed skin tissue and glows with their suitcase. They have an eye tattoo in the back of their left hand.

== 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>
* {{HeroIcon|Calico}} says she's "tying up loose ends" when she kills Pocket, and says Maximilian "will have questions".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Calico|file=Nano kill synth 03.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I love tying up loose ends.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Calico|file=Nano kill synth 04.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I'm sure Maximilian will have questions.}}</ref> This implies that Calico was the assassin hired to kill Pocket.
* {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} is Pocket's godfather. He recognizes Pocket and says he would have helped them if he knew they were alive.<ref name=":0">[[Pocket/Quotes#Conversations|Pocket conversations]]</ref>
* {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} thinks Pocket seems familiar, but mistakes them for a street urchin. She thinks Pocket's jacket is stolen.<ref name=":0" />
* {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}} protected Pocket and regard them well.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Mo & Krill|file=krill_kill_pocket_06.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=We protected you Pocket, and you betrayed us!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Mo & Krill|file=krill_kill_pocket_01.mp3|context=(killed Pocket)|transcription=I liked Pocket too!}}</ref>
