[[File:Seven's skull.png|thumb|Seven's head without blindfold and headgear]]
Seven is a charred undead man wearing a ragged striped black, yellow and orange prison uniform. His face seems to be melted, showing a black skull with yellow plasma in its mouth, nose hole, and additional holes near the nose and cheeks. His eyes are obscured by a blindfold and a large metallic circular headgear with 3 tesla coils on top, connected by wires to a leather chestpiece with a gauge and a plate with the number "4279". On his back is an electricity gauge with loose wires. He has round metallic pieces on his shoulder, and leather straps with metal cuffs and chains on his hands, feet and hip. His weapon is similar to a [[wikipedia:Charlton_automatic_rifle|Charlton automatic rifle]], with coils attached.


When using {{AbilityIcon|Storm Cloud}}, Seven's body flickers and shows his skeleton.
Seven says he doesn't like murder, rather, he is "indifferent" to it.<ref name=":0">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Seven|hero2=Infernus|number=2}}</ref> He does enjoy letting fear sink into his victims, however.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Seven}}'s in-game [[Seven/Quotes#Static Charge|voice line]] (upgrade Static Charge): ''"It's important to let the fear sink in."''</ref>
 
Seven's appearance before his execution is unknown.

=== Information ===
Seven's name may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Numerology|Numerology]], in which the number 7 is associated with spirituality and the search for knowledge.<ref>Numerology.com - ''[https://www.numerology.com/articles/about-numerology/single-digit-number-7-meaning/ The Meaning of Number 7 in Numerology]''</ref>
Seven can speak the [[Ixia|Ixian]] language.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|quotes=Seven/Quotes#Enemies|transcription=Shioth valosh, Apollo.}}</ref><ref>2026-01-22 - ''@monstobusta'' and [[Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord - Monsto: ''"Is Seven speaking Ixian?"'' Kaori: ''"yep"''</ref>


Seven's chestplate has numbers that form a [[wikipedia:Japanese_wordplay#Goroawase|Gorowase]], a form of Japanese wordplay with numbers. 4279 can be read as Shi (4) Ni (2) Na (7) Ku (9) = Shininaku (死になく), or "Become unkillable" (rough translation).
[[The New York Oracle]] reporter [[Minor characters|Allie Kincaid]] is writing a story on Seven.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Seven|hero2=Holliday|number=1 (VN)|hero_quote1=Holliday|quote1=How do you know Allie?|hero_quote2=Seven|quote2=You haven't heard?

=== [[Holliday's visual novel/Transcription|Chapter 2b]] ===
-
Seven is set to make an appearance in Holliday's visual novel, presumably in chapter 3d.
 
In chapter 2b, {{HeroIcon|Holliday}} meets with her friend [[Minor characters|Allie Kinkaid]] to talk about a lead Allie had towards finding the [[The Troubadour|Troubadour]]. Allie says she has a tip from someone with a "unique insight", and that the person with the tip wanted to help Holliday directly instead of the police. Allie refuses to reveal the identity of the tipper due to journalistic intergrity, despite Holliday's frustrations. Allie offers to get Holliday in contact with her source if she really wants to.
 
While everything beyond chapter 2 is unknown, in-game conversations between Seven and Holliday reveal that Allie's source is Seven.<ref name=":11" /> What Seven knows about the Troubadour and why he wants to help Holliday is currently unknown.
