'''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.
'''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.


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.
