'''Seven''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a powerful mystic who doesn't abide by the rules of lesser men. Utilizing his psychic mastery of electrical currents, Seven excels in rapidly taking control of a fight. Through stuns, roving area denial and unbridled surges in power, he leads enemies right to where he wants them within his ever-growing storm cloud before putting them in their place.

It is unknown what actions led to Seven being imprisoned within [[Lost Whisper]]. However, Seven managed to turn what was meant to be his execution into the bloody murder of his captors. Finally free and waiting within the underbelly of the Cursed Apple, he wishes to reach "apotheosis" by completing [[Maelstrom|the ritual]].

=== Lore ===
Seven claims he was imprisoned in [[Lost Whisper]] because he "offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos". He says he "doesn't like" murder, but rather is "indifferent" to it.<ref name=":2">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven conversations]]</ref>

Seven has done research on the [[Astral Gates]], and he credits [[Dynamo|Professor Dynamo]] as an influence in his work. He also tells Dynamo that he has loved someone.<ref name=":0">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Dynamo conversation]]</ref>

Seven's goal of "apotheosis"<ref name=":1">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Viscous conversation]] - Viscous: ''"So what do you do?"'' Seven: ''"Strive for apotheosis."''</ref> means the glorification of a subject to divine level,<ref>[[wikipedia:Apotheosis|Wikipedia article on Apotheosis]] - ''"Apotheosis, also called divinization or deification, is the glorification of a subject to divine levels and, commonly, the treatment of a human being, any other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity."'' </ref> implying that Seven wants to become a god, or gain godlike powers.

On the run from the [[OSIC]], Seven currently lives in New York's old subway tunnels. He tells [[Mo & Krill]] he has "particular needs" regarding the creation of new tunnels.<ref name=":2" />

[[The New York Oracle]] reporter [[Minor characters|Allie Kincaid]] is writing a story on Seven.<ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Holliday conversation]] - Holliday: ''"So, how do you know Allie?"'' Seven: ''"You haven't heard? She's writing a story about me."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster_seasonal_headline_16.mp3|transcription=The Oracle's own Allie Kincaid teases that her next interview will be... electrifying!}}</ref>

== Character interactions ==

*Seven has a one-sided rivalry with {{HeroIcon|Kelvin}} for unknown reasons.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt_kill_kelvin_05.mp3|context=(killed Kelvin)|transcription=It was always going to come down to you and me, Kelvin.}}</ref><ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Kelvin conversation]] - Kelvin: "''Why do you hate me so much?"'' Seven: "''The Patron will reveal all."'' Kelvin: "''And then what?"'' Seven: "''And then I'll let you stew on when I'll come to kill you."''
</ref> Kelvin thinks Seven "seems familiar".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|file=Kelvin kill gigawatt 02.mp3|context=(killed Seven)|transcription=He seemed... familiar.}}</ref> Additionally, both Seven and Kelvin have an interest on researching Astral Gates.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Kelvin|quote=A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn’t build an expedition team fast enough.}}</ref> When being healed by Kelvin, Seven is reminded of "old times".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt_ally_kelvin_clutch_heal_02.mp3|context=(healed by Kelvin)|transcription=Like old times, eh Kelvin?}}</ref>
** A likely possibility is that Seven is Kelvin's old friend Edrick, who "vanished". {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}} says Edrick "caused a scene" at one of Kelvin's fundraisers.<ref>[[Kelvin/Quotes#Conversations|Kelvin and Lady Geist conversation]] - Kelvin: ''"Edrick." (...) "I don't know. I tried to find him when I returned to New York, but... it's like he's vanished."''</ref> This is supported by one of Seven's lines to Kelvin that mirrors one of Kelvin's lines about Edrick.<ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Kelvin conversation]] - Kelvin: ''"Heh, I thought you hated me."'' Seven: ''"I do. But if anyone is going to kill you, it's going to be me."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|file=Kelvin revenge kill.mp3|context=(revenge kill)|transcription=If someone's going to kill me, it's going to be Edrick, not you.}}</ref>

* Seven believes {{HeroIcon|Kelvin}} has a bigger ego than {{HeroIcon|Lash}}.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt kill lash 01.mp3|context=(killed Lash)|transcription=His ego is almost as big as Kelvin's.}}</ref>
* Seven has a strong conviction that exceptional magic users should use their powers, regardless of how others might judge them for it. He criticizes {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} for wanting to "throw away" the "great gift" of his star body, teases {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} for "putting on a muzzle" and "wasting" his powers, and says {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}} is "wasting her brilliance" working for [[Fairfax Industries]]. He respects {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} for "seeing the world as it was and deciding it was not acceptable to her".<ref name=":2" />
* {{HeroIcon|Paradox}} threatens to reveal the location of Seven's safehouse.<ref name=":2" />
* Seven wants to commission {{HeroIcon|Paradox}} for a job.<ref name=":2" />
* When on the same team, Seven teases {{HeroIcon|Haze}} for working alongside him and asks how soon will they start fighting each other once the [[The Ritual|ritual]] is over.<ref name=":2" />
* {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}} offers help to remove Seven's hat.<ref name=":2" />
