→Trivia: removed trivia based on guidelines on speculation (see Deadlock:Style guide) Tags: Manual revert Visual edit |
1st Edit: Doorman's quote does not confirm he died during his botched execution; his background directly denies his death during it. It is possible he was revived once before arriving in Lost Whisper, so I added more uncertainty to the statement. 2nd Edit: Changed wording. |

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 the ritual.

“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.
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.
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.
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.
He laughed as he tore himself free from his bondage.
He laughed as his captors cowered in fear.
He laughed as he massacred his tormentors.
He laughed as he tasted the fresh air that was denied to him for years.
And he laughed when he thought about what he was going to do once he reached New York City.
Seven's motive and wish in the ritual is to achieve "apotheosis,"[1] which means the glorification of a subject to divine level,[2] meaning that Seven wants to become a god, or gain godlike powers.[3][4] Seven believes he will become powerful enough for the Patrons to bow to him.[5]
Seven claims he was imprisoned in Lost Whisper because he "offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos."[6] Seven implies getting caught and sent to Lost Whisper was part of his plan.[7] How Seven survived the botched execution is unknown, but he could've died in the process, plausibly making him undead.[8]
Seven says he doesn't like murder, rather, he is "indifferent" to it.[9]
Seven has done research on the Astral Gates, and he credits Professor Dynamo as an influence in his work.[10] He also tells Dynamo that he once loved someone.[11]
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.[12][13]
Seven mentions that he had to "scurry with the rats since he was a child."[14]
Seven wants to take control of the Paradox Organisation.[15][16]
Seven can speak the Ixian language.[17][18]
The New York Oracle reporter Allie Kincaid is writing a story on Seven.[19][20]
Seven had a lover whom he believes "tried to steal [his destiny] for themselves." [21]
Kelvin for unknown reasons.[22][23][24] Kelvin thinks Seven "seems familiar".[25] Additionally, both Seven and Kelvin have an interest on researching Astral Gates.[10][26] When being healed by Kelvin, Seven is reminded of "old times".[27] Seven believes Kelvin has a bigger ego than 
Lash.[28]
Lady Geist says Ettrick "caused a scene" at one of Kelvin's fundraisers.[29] This is supported by one of Seven's lines to Kelvin that mirrors one of Kelvin's lines about Ettrick.[24][30] Kelvin pushed Ettrick away due to his "ambition", which aligns with Seven's ambition to achieve apotheosis.[31]
Dynamo for wanting to "throw away" the "great gift" of his star body,[11] teases 
Infernus for "putting on a muzzle" and "wasting" his powers,[9][32] and says 
McGinnis is "wasting her brilliance" working for Fairfax Industries.[33] He respects 
Ivy for "seeing the world as it was and deciding it was not acceptable to her".[34]
Paradox for a job.[35]
Haze for working alongside him and asks how soon will they start fighting each other once the ritual is over.[36][37] McGinnis offers help to remove Seven's headgear.[38] Paradox is aware of Seven's safehouse in the tunnels and threatens to reveal their location.[39]
Paige swears she won't let her brother turn out like Seven.[40]
The Doorman thinks Seven is more delusional than Lash.[41]
Rem, Seven smells like "evil s'mores".[42] This contrasts Kelvin's scent of "nice s'mores."[43]View the full update history: Seven/Update history
