Vindicta is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a mobile and powerful marksman, engaging and picking off her targets from a distance. Using her Crow Familiar to initiate fights by bleeding her targets, Vindicta may launch into Flight to keep her distance from enemies and tether them with a Stake in the ground while targeting them with her powerful rifle. Enemies that are near-death should fear her ability to Assassinate at long-range with a devastating sniper shot.

“A victim of John Hathorne during the Salem Witch Trials, Vindicta got a second chance of life when her spirit was brought back to the mortal plane during the first Maelstrom (the event that introduced the supernatural to the public at large).
Waging a one ghost war against "The Friends of Humanity", a neo inquisition formed by Hathorne's descendants; Vindicta looks to keep the supernatural safe from Hathorne's ilk, and she isn't afraid to stack as many bodies as needed to do it.
Vindicta says she was a child who was "unjustly condemned" during the Salem Witch Trials.[1] This relates to the actual Salem Witch Trials as many of the girls were young, ranging from ages 9 to 20.[2] John Hathorne, who's mentioned in Vindicta's background, was known in the actual Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.
Vindicta says she's not a witch because she isn't alive and her only goal is revenge.[3] Her main target is the current leader of the Friends of Humanity, also named John Hathorne, who is a descendant of the original Hathorne who killed her.[4][5]
Vindicta says she uses her given name.[6] Puritans in the 17th Century were known to give unusual names to their children, as a way of honoring their religion.[7][8]
