'''Silver''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Silver makes her living tracking down lowlifes, but today New York’s misanthrope lycanthrope plans on summoning a god. Fortunately, her career as a bounty hunter has prepared her well for all that the ritual requires. She makes quick work of adversaries by catching them with her Entangling Bola, Boot Kicking them in the face, and finishing them off with a Slam Fire from her rifle. But inevitably, the Lycan Curse comes calling whether she likes it or not, and her foes will regret being too close when it does.

Silver was released on [[Update:February 2, 2026|February 2, 2026]] as the third winner of the [[Update:January 22, 2026|Old Gods, New Blood]] update contest.

=== Lore ===
It's implied that Silver's life is miserable. Her goal in the ritual, outside of collecting bounties, seems to be to wish herself a better life.<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Archmother}}'s in-game [[Silver/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Silver start): ''"Your life is a mess, Silver, but it doesn't have to be that way. Let the Archmother's guidance lead you to a better life."''</ref><ref name=":0">{{VoiceLineCite|name=Hidden King|quotes=Silver/Quotes#Other Characters|context=(Silver start)|transcription=Lilah Silver. Yours is a…complicated life. But if you complete the ritual, The King will make sure you thrive.}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Yamato}}'s in-game [[Yamato/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Silver killed): ''"(That woman's a trainwreck.)"''</ref>

Silver lives day by day with payment from her bounties, spending most of her money on either her place of living or on alcohol. She hopes that performing the ritual stops her from having to pay rent.

Silver supposedly has her Lycanthropy under control, whereas her alcoholism is not.

She has an unnamed ex-partner who accused her of pushing people away, implying she has trouble with intimate relationships and opening up to people emotionally.

== Character interactions ==

* Silver seems to be paranoid that her teammates will steal her bounties.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Silver|hero2=Haze|number=2|hero_quote1=Haze|quote1=I'm not trying to take your paycheck, Silver. I just want them dead. Feel free to take all of the credit.}}</ref><ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Silver|hero2=Holliday|number=2|hero_quote1=Holliday|quote1=I'm not going after one of your bounties, Silver. Once I stop the Troubadour, I'm going back home.}}</ref>
* {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill}} have worked with Silver in the past and have a good working relationship with her.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}'s in-game [[Mo & Krill/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Silver): ''"And here I thought we had a good working relationship with her!"''</ref> While on the other team, they express concern over "how desperate" Silver has gotten and wish they could've helped her.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}'s in-game [[Mo & Krill/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Silver): ''"I didn't realise how desperate Silver had gotten... I wish we could've helped her."''</ref>
* According to {{PageRef|name=Rem}}, Silver's hair smells like Bourbon.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Rem}}'s in-game [[Rem/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (killed Silver): "''I never met someone whose hair smelled like Bourbon.''"</ref>
* Silver has a particular hate for [[Shiv]], if she kills him, she claims "he deserved worse" and that "people don't change" despite what the Baxter society says.
* [[Vyper]]'s use of bolas are because of Silver.<ref>[[Silver]]'s in-game [[Silver/Quotes|voice-line]] (Upgrade Entangling Bolas): "I ''threw these at [[Vyper]] so many times she started carrying 'em around herself''."</ref>
** [[Vyper]] is implied to be a frequent bounty for Silver to hunt.
* Silver seems to had a good relationship with [[Venator]], even making plans to go drink whiskey together after the ritual.

== Trivia ==

* During development, Silver was originally codenamed Shapeshifter, whose name was leaked in November 2025.<ref>https://x.com/MlNESWEEPER/status/1992243811419111459</ref>
* The name of Silver's weapon, '''Hair of the Dog''', is a shortening of the expression [[wikipedia:Hair of the Dog| ''Hair of the Dog that Bit You'']], referring to alcohol consumed to lessen the effect of a hangover.
* Silver is the first hero to possess a weapon without a traditional projectile or ranged option, as her primary fire in Werewolf form swings her claws to maim enemies in melee range. She's also the first hero to have two sets of abilities.
* Silver's Friend's List status is ''"Figuring What Happened Last Night in the [[Hideout]]".''
