'''Seven''' is a brutal and maniacal killer who takes a particular pleasure in electrocuting his enemies with a variety of abilities. Beginning engagements by stunning a foe with Power Surge, Seven activates a chain lightning Static Charge 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.

An escaped death row prisoner, Seven is a deadly serial killer who massacred his former jailers and escaped from the toughest occult prison. Nobody knows exactly what he did before being imprisoned, but many citizens of the world now fear what Seven will do with his new-found freedom.

'''A FATE'S TALE:'''


When mystic energy awoke on Earth, the world changed… anything was possible. But just because anything WAS possible, didn't mean that anything SHOULD be possible. And so the government made rules. Laws. A means for US citizens to enjoy the benefits of the supernatural world in safety. But rules and laws are for lesser men. Men with limitations. Men who were not Seven.

== Voice Line ==
Seven has an intense grudge against [[Kelvin]] and it is implied they were former colleagues. Several voice lines suggest Seven could be Kelvin's old colleague ''Edrick''. Ironically, Kelvin has little clue about Seven's identity or motives, likely due to amnesia after his failed expedition to an arctic astral gate. Consider the following dialogue:
