'''Venator''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He doesn't walk the righteous path, he blazes the trail so that others may do so safely. His biggest challenge is knowing which weapon to use first. Firing a [[Venator#Consecrating Grenade|'''Consecrating Grenade''']] into the fray softens up his enemies and keeps them from restoring health, and his '''[[Venator#Hex-Lined Snap Trap|Hex-Lined Snap Trap]]''' scatters across the ground to lock them in place. A '''[[Venator#Gutshot|Gutshot]]''' from his shotgun will knock back enemies who get too close, and when the time is right, '''[[Venator#Ira Domini|Ira Domini]]''' will rid the world of evil once and for all.
