'''Wrecker''' is an unreleased [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'', previously available in the [[Hero Labs]] gamemode. Stunning enemies with his Wrecking Ball, Wrecker will Consume them to satisfy his hunger, then spit out their remains in a Bio Blast. His foes will suffer devastating damage once he charges his Overload.

Employed by [[Fairfax Industries|Eldritch Tactical Solutions]], Wrecker is a monstrous creature who made a reputation as ''"The Butcher of Ixia"'' for his dirty work in extraplanar wars.

Wrecker was added to Hero Labs on [[Update:October 24, 2024|October 24, 2024]], and removed from the game when the mode was discontinued on [[Update:August 18, 2025|August 18, 2025]].

=== Lore ===
Wrecker speaks in a different language and has a limited English vocabulary. He is described by other heroes as a "gremlin"<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Haze|file=haze_kill_wrecker_05.mp3|transcription=I almost feel bad for the little gremlin.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Holliday|file=astro_ping_see_wrecker_02.mp3|transcription=There's a trash gremlin!}}</ref> and a "purple thing with eyes".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Mo & Krill|file=krill_ping_see_wrecker_02.mp3|transcription=I see a... purple thing. With eyes.}}</ref> This could be a hint at his final design.

He is known as ''The'' ''Butcher of [[Ixia]],''<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Amber Hand|file=Patron_male_ally_wrecker_start_01.mp3|transcription=They call you 'the Butcher of Ixia'. Show our enemies why.}}</ref> and fought in the fields of North Ixia.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Amber Hand|file=Patron_male_ally_wrecker_start_02.mp3|transcription=This may not be the fields of North Ixia, but it is a battleground, and today you will slaughter them all.}}</ref> Wrecker's military company has been accused of commiting war crimes.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster_headline_65.mp3|transcription=Eldritch Tactical Solutions, a subsidiary of Fairfax Industries, comes under fire as new allegations are made by former employees. Are these soldiers of fortune committing war crimes? The New York Oracle investigates.}}</ref>

Wrecker's background suggests that [[wikipedia:World_War_I|World War I]] and [[wikipedia:World_War_II|World War II]] didn't happen in the ''[[Deadlock]]'' [[timeline]].

== Trivia ==
* Their temporary model appears to incorporate the mesh for the ''[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Clockwerk%27s_Helm Clockwerk's Helm]'', a promotional cosmetic for ''Team Fortress 2''. The ''Clockwerk's Helm'' is in turn based on the hero [https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Clockwerk Clockwerk] from ''Dota 2''.
* Wrecker's current model and animations are based on [[Paradox|Paradox's]] model.
* Wrecker's weapon was originally called '''Demolition Hymn'''.
* "Paranormal Military Companies" are a reference to real-world [[wikipedia:Private_military_company|Private Military Companies]], also identified as PMC.
