Henry and Savannah were two young stage magicians in love, who bound their souls to each other for eternity. However, their relationship was strained after a tragic on-stage accident claimed both of their lives. Now, under the shared title of Sinclair, they seek a way to be separated and find peace in the afterlife.

Spectral Assistant’s teleport can be activated twice. The first activation instantly swaps Sinclair’s position with the Assistant’s. After a 2-second cooldown, a second activation can be used to swap their positions again.
Slowing Hex prevents swapping positions with the Assistant, but does not prevent summoning it.

The Upgrade tier of Audience Participation determines the Tier level of the copied ultimate. (The copied ultimate is restricted to however many upgrade Tiers Sinclair has unlocked.)
Sinclair has a 1‑second delay before they can use the copied ultimate.
Sinclair can use Audience Participation even if the target enemy hasn't unlocked their ultimate yet.
If Spectral Assistant is active, Sinclair can use the teleport ability while copying an ultimate, except for the following:
If Sinclair copies an ultimate but does not use it, Audience Participation uses its default cooldown of 85s (with the exception of Vindicta's Assassinate).
Imbuing Audience Participation exclusively affects the ultimate‑copying ability, and not the copied ultimate itself. For instance, imbuing Compress Cooldown only reduces the default cooldown after the copying duration expires, and imbuing Mystic Expansion only increases the range from which ultimates can be copied.
Sinclair only copies the properties of the ultimate, which can make it weaker compared to the original hero. For example, when copying Haze's Bullet Dance, they deal less damage due to their lower fire rate and because they do not have the Fixation passive ability.
Sinclair gets permanent bonus health from kills or assists with Mo & Krill's Combo, permanent bonus spirit power from kills with Grey Talon's Guided Owl, and bonus weapon damage from kills with Vindicta's Assassinate.
Audience Participation's cooldown is instantly reset if Sinclair kills an enemy with Shiv's Killing Blow at T3.
Sinclair gets Shiv's Rage passive if they copy Killing Blow, dealing bonus damage when at full Rage. The Rage lasts until Sinclair either loses Killing Blow or Rage goes down to zero. However, if Sinclair copies Killing Blow again, they will still have the remaining built-up Rage from the last copy, allowing them to reach full Rage faster.
If Sinclair copies Silver's Lycan Curse, they can transform instantly with no build-up. However, likely due to a bug, Sinclair will not gain the upgrades for two specific Silver (Transformed) abilities if their base counterparts are currently deployed: a deployed Vexing Bolt results in an un-upgraded Go For The Throat, and a deployed Spectral Assistant results in an un-upgraded Mauling Leap.
In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Sinclair: High, Average, or Low chance.
Henry's parents told him he was too young and impulsive to mess with real magic, and so they gave him a deck of cards to play with. He took to sleight of hand naturally and soon was dazzling his classmates with fantastic feats of illusions that were done without mystic artifacts or incantation.
When he was in high school he met Savannah, and their mutual love of stage magic sparked a whirlwind romance. Soon they fell in love and created an act together. Obviously they were meant to be; and so at prom, Henry proposed to Savannah and they married soon after graduation.
Unsurprisingly both sets of parents were not thrilled at this prospect, but Henry and Savannah knew they were soulmates. And so they cemented their love for one another by having a blood mystic bind their souls for eternity.
When an on-stage accident claimed both their lives, no one was sure who to blame. Henry claims Savannah was out of position. Savannah says Henry didn't wait for his cue. But one thing's for sure, since their souls are tied to each other neither one of them have been able to move on. Now a bickering pair of ghosts, Henry and Savannah need to work together if they want to have any chance of undoing their eternal union.
Sinclair changes voices on death, depending on which ghost is controlling the body. It starts as Henry's voice, then changes to Savannah's when Henry dies and vice-versa.
Sinclair is the only hero who has voice lines on respawn, to indicate which Sinclair is now in control.
"Working Magic in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Sinclair in the Hideout.
When copying Yamato's Shadow Transformation, the description shows "Become infused with Sinclair's shadow soul." instead of 'Become infused with Yamato's shadow soul."
If a hero has a voice line warning against a specific enemy ultimate, that voice line is triggered if the enemy Sinclair copies and uses that ultimate.
