'''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.

Item Draft
In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Pocket: High, Average, or Low chance.
Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn't know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent's company... but in the avarice fueled viper's nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone.
Taking on the name "Pocket", Arin desperately wants to keep their true identity a secret… not only for their own protection; but because they want to forge their own identity separate from their parents.
A possible inspiration for Pocket is the hero Puck from Dota 2. Beyond their similar names, both heroes share key mechanics: launching a slow-moving projectile they can teleport to, dealing AoE burst damage, and gaining brief invulnerability by going into hiding.
Pocket was originally named Synth. They were later renamed to Fairfax.
Pocket is voiced by Greg Chun, who also voices Shiv.[21]
"Sulking in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Pocket in the Hideout.
Pocket's backstory and abilities have some similarities to the Biblical Plagues of Egypt: the death of the firstborn, the plague of frogs, and the pestilence (Affliction).
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.
