Wraith is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a fast-talking and fast-firing combatant with potent offensive abilities and mobility. She can activate her Full Auto to boost her own and allies' fire rate, flinging homing Card Tricks at her targets and Projecting her Mind to teleport either into or out of dangerous fights. Singling out a foe with her Telekinesis to stun and damage them, Wraith can decide who on the enemy team should die first.
Employing her charisma and strength to run a gambling network, Wraith is a widely-known feature of the criminal underworld of New York City.

Card Generation
For Wraith's Card Trick ability, cards are generated by dealing weapon damage, instead of recharging over time. The amount of charge gained is dependent on the attack landing on enemies, but the amount of damage dealt does not affect the amount of charge gained. Cooldown reduction increases the percentage generated proportionally (EX: 10% Cooldown Reduction = 10% increase to charge gain percentage)
NOTE: Wraith's card generation rate starts at 85% [2]

The cornerstone of the New York gambling scene, Wraith's organization is about as open a secret as it comes. However, thanks to a non-trivial amount of bribes, shakedowns, and blackmail, Wraith knows that she's above the law.
Lore
Wraith's motivation for being in the ritual isn't clear, but it seems to be for a chance to get more wealth, popularity and power.[3][4][5]
Wraith hosts weekly underground poker games.[6][7][8] She also makes bets on fights in the Bear Pit.[9]

Her plan usually involves gambling with people until they owe her money, which forces them to take out markers.[17] Wraith claims to have built her criminal organisation herself, rather than inheriting it.[18]
Wraith has done business with the Mendoza Syndicate in the past,[19] although she dislikes Mendoza himself.[20] Wraith shows interest in working with the Seventh Moon,[21] but ultimately views them as a rival organisation.[22][23] The OSIC are aware of Wraith's business, but aren't interested in dismantling it.[16] Wraith has bribed some of the New York police to leave her business alone,[24][25] and she isn't concerned about Captain Murphy.[26]
Wraith employs Ivy's sister, Sophia Arroyo, to work for Wraith as an accountant to finance her college tuition.[27][28][29] Wraith makes Sophia work long shifts, which makes Sophia tired and affects her academic studies.[30]

Character interactions

Lady Geist says Wraith "reeks of new money". However, she respects Wraith for her cunning and ruthlessness.[34]
Wraith's hands are always inside her pockets, as her two magic arms perform actions for her.
Wraith's current character model doesn't actually have hands. However, there is a work-in-progress Wraith model in the files that has fully modeled arms and hands, as well as new animations performed with both her real arms and magic arms.
Wraith is currently the only hero whose Sprint Speed is directly affected by Spirit Power.
Wraith has had 4 iterations of different designs and voice actors since her creation.[63] One of her earlier designs was a magician. That model was reused for the Metal Skin poster and for Sinclair's character model.
Wraith's weapon was originally called Houdini's Shackles.
Wraith's ammo clip size is 52 as a reference to the number of cards in a poker deck. Her original clip size was 50. It was changed based on a player's suggestion in the official Deadlock Discord.[64]
Removed Patron voice lines indicate that Wraith's previous background involved a search for her father, who had suffered a mysterious fate.[65][66]
