'''Pocket''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Having to fight in the Ritual for the chance to stop their [[Maximilian Fairfax|father]], Pocket prefers to fight up close thanks to their powerful shotgun and highly mobile abilities. Opening their magic briefcase to '''[[Pocket#Barrage|Barrage]]''' groups of enemies with spiritual bursts, Pocket may use their '''[[Pocket#Flying Cloak|Flying Cloak]]''' to teleport beside their targets and unload their shotgun; disappearing inside their '''[[Pocket#Enchanter's Satchel|Enchanter's Satchel]]''' to avoid return fire. When surrounded by enemies, Pocket can unleash an '''[[Pocket#Affliction|Affliction]]''' to slowly eat away at their health, setting their enemies up for a devastating attack.

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.

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.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* Pocket during ''Deadlock'' Pre-Alpha (''Neon Prime'') was named '''Synth'''.
* A possible inspiration for Pocket is the hero [[File:Dota2 icon.png]][https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Puck 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.
* In Lady Geist's unreleased comic, Pocket's father [[Maximilian Fairfax|Maximilian]] asks Geist where Pocket is.<ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=nn_C9nQ_Ri0&t=1394s|title=Deadlock - Lady Geist Full Novel Leaked}}</ref>
* Pocket was originally named '''Synth'''. They were later renamed to '''Fairfax'''.
* Implied by their background, Pocket likely has at least one younger sibling, as Pocket is considered the "eldest heir" to [[Fairfax Industries]], run by their father [[Maximilian Fairfax]].
* Pocket is voiced by '''Greg Chun''', who also voices {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}.<ref name=":4">{{YouTubeCite|1=cB8SgHZF1GQ|2=Greg's top 100 Voiceover roles 2025}}</ref>
* "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 [[wikipedia:Plagues_of_Egypt|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.
