'''Seven''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. A megalomaniac scientist who substitutes his absence of ethics with a wide array of electric attacks, Seven excels in rapidly taking control of the battlefield by denying areas with [[Seven#Lightning Ball|'''Lightning Balls''']] and [[Seven#Power Surge|'''Surging''']] his gun to punish his foes for staying close together. After putting his enemies in their place with [[Seven#Static Charge|'''Static Charge''']], Seven is free to discharge himself into a [[Seven#Storm Cloud|'''Storm Cloud''']] and fry them alive.

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]].

== Weapon ==


'''Seven''' is a powerful and brutal mystic with control over electricity and lightnings. Starting engagements by stunning a foe with Static Charge, Seven activates a chain lightning Power Surge on his burst-fire rifle and unleashes a Lightning Ball to shock down his opponent quickly. Channeling the spirit of the storm, Seven can begin or end encounters by unleashing his Storm Cloud to electrocute all enemies within range that are not quick enough to escape.
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_gigawatt}}


It is not stated what actions lead to Seven being sent prisoner to [[Lost Whisper]], yet at the day of his execution Seven managed to escape, obliterating everyone who kept him in captivity for years in the process. Finally free, Seven's singular goal is to participate in [[Maelstrom|the ritual]] and reach apotheosis. And he will not stop before anything, or anyone who would stand in the way.

There are many rumors about what Seven did to land himself in [[Lost Whisper]], an oubliette for the most dangerous of occultists. But there is no doubt about what happened on the night of his execution.
=== Item Draft ===
{{HeroStreetBrawlItems|Seven}}


Wards placed by the most powerful ritualists of 7 different nations... wards designed to not just prevent mystical interference with the execution, but to simultaneously obliterate Seven's soul so that it could never be contacted, resurrected, or otherwise be used by someone looking to follow in his footsteps... failed.
== Backstory ==


Onlookers viewed in horror as the strongest mentalist employed by the US Army’s head popped like a grape. They screamed as Scotland Yard’s premiere occult investigator, the one who allegedly captured Seven, crumbled to ash. Seven’s body buckled and writhed against his restraints; his skin burning from eldritch electricity... and yet he would not die. He laughed.
{{Fates_Tale|gigawatt}}


He laughed as he tore himself free from his bondage.
