'''Mirage''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is agile and uses powerful wind-based abilities for disruption. By throwing out Fire Scarabs and transforming into a Tornado, Mirage can damage, lift up, and steal life from his targets while applying Djinn's Mark to enemies to enhance his attacks. When the time is right, he can Travel across the map in an instant to assist his allies in escaping or hunting down weak foes.

An emissary of the Djinn ambassador [[Nashala Dion]], Mirage is a diplomatic bodyguard who is charged with carrying and protecting the djinn's vessel.

Mirage was added to the roster on [[Update:September 26, 2024|September 26, 2024]].

Mirage is deeply loyal to Nashala. He enjoys his conversations with her, but also finds her "impulsive, short-sighted" decisions "frustrating".<ref name=":0">[[Mirage/Quotes#Conversations|Mirage and Seven conversation]]</ref>

Mirage finds some of the Djinn "fascinating", but others are "assholes".<ref name=":1">[[Mirage/Quotes#Conversations|Mirage and Dynamo conversation]]</ref>

While in New York, Mirage and Nashala are guests at the [[Baroness Hotel]].<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mirage|file=Mirage kill doorman 01.mp3|context=(killed the Doorman)|transcription=Until today, our stay at the Baroness has been rather pleasant.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mirage|file=Mirage kill doorman 03.mp3|context=(killed the Doorman)|transcription=Nashala will be disappointed that we need to check out of the Baroness.}}</ref>

Mirage likes to play bowling and calls it "the sport of kings". He learned it in England.<ref>[[Mirage/Quotes#Conversations|Mirage and Holliday conversation]]</ref>

== Character interactions ==

'''Drifter''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Something ancient has arrived in New York... a nameless horror known only as the Drifter. Relentless as time, as certain as death, once Drifter sets his eyes on a victim there's nothing they can do to stop him. They can try to run, but his Bloodscent drives him forward, leading him to isolated prey. Even if they manage to escape it doesn't matter, as Stalker's Mark allows Drifter to appear right behind his enemies before lunging in for the kill with a vicious Rend. Soon Eternal Night comes, and a faint whistling in the breeze will be joined by a chorus of screams.

Drifter was released on [[Update:August 27, 2025|August 27, 2025]] as the fifth hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six Heroes]] update contest.

'''Shiv''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a monster hunter with a cause, conducting hit-and-run attacks and picking off vulnerable targets. Flinging Serrated Knives to bleed his targets from range, Shiv builds his Rage through damage and dashes up to his enemy with a Slice and Dice flurry of blades and a few powerful shotgun blasts. Smelling blood, Shiv hunts down any dying targets to finish them off with a devastating Killing Blow.

A former criminal, Shiv seeks to make up for his past mistakes by hunting down monsters on behalf of [[The Baxter Society]].

Shiv's gun has an alt-fire mode.

Shiv was added to the roster on [[Update:August 15, 2024|August 15, 2024]].

* Killing Blow will pursue moving targets, such as those being pulled by Rescue Beam. Heroes that stop being targetable, or become invincible, will cause it to miss and go on cooldown.
}}
</tabber>

=== Rage ===
After unlocking Shiv's '''Killing Blow''' ultimate, rage can be built by dealing any damage. The amount of rage built varies depending on the source.

Rage has a '''max value of 10''' which is required to be filled before becoming '''Enraged''', granting you the full rage bonuses.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Rage build values
|-
! Damage type !! Rage built per damage dealt
|-
| Weapon Damage || 0.020
|-
| Spirit Damage || 0.017
|-
| Light melee || 1.8
|-
| Heavy melee || 3.3
|}

Rage will begin to decay after '''12 seconds''' of not dealing any damage, at a rate of 0.25 per second (43 seconds total).

Rage only builds up from damage dealt to players.

NOTE: These numbers are taken from the code for the game, but rage built per damage does not actually reflect in game values.

As a rule of thumb: Rage built from '''Weapon Damage''' and '''Melee Damage''' does not noticeably change with increases to weapon or spirit power, always taking roughly 18 shots at point blank or 4-7 Melee attacks (depending on strength) to build max rage. Rage built from '''Spirit Damage''' does scale with spirit power granting more rage the more damage your abilities do, however this is offset by the rage you build decreasing with spirit power, 100 Spirit power halving the rage built (Imbued spirit power from [[Surge of Power]] is not counted towards this, causing it to grant a lot more rage (to the imbued ability) than [[Boundless Spirit]].)

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_shiv}}Shiv's alternate fire takes two ammo rounds, and has a recoil that can be used for movement. The alt-fire deals 5.13 damage per pellet.

The approximate movement distance from the alt-fire recoil (without items or level-ups) is as follows:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|+Base recoil max movement distance
!Aim direction
!Movement state
!Max distance (m)
|-
|Horizontal
|On the ground
|2.5
|-
|Horizontal
|One jump

|-
|Horizontal
|Double jump
|15
|-
|Vertical (down 90º)
|One jump
|4
|-
|Vertical (down 90º)
|Double jump
|7
|}
In order to use the jump momentum for max distance, one has to shoot slightly before reaching the apex of the jump.

=== Lore ===
Shiv was chosen by [[Grey Talon]] as his replacement in the [[The Baxter Society|Baxter Society]].<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Grey Talon|file=orion_ally_shiv_unkillable_01.mp3|transcription=There goes my protegé.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Grey Talon|file=orion_kill_shiv_02.mp3|context=(killed Shiv)|transcription=It seems I chose my replacement poorly.}}</ref> He has been in the Society for "a few years" and says he is not respected by the other members.<ref>[[Shiv/Quotes#Conversations|Shiv and Abrams conversation]]</ref>

The [[Sapphire Flame]] says that Shiv "has been" a father.<ref>[[Sapphire Flame]] in-game [[:File:Patron female ally shiv start 03.mp3|voice line]] ''- "You've been many things, Shiv. A brigand, a father, a killer. But if you summon me, I'll make you a king."''</ref> She also says that he has a "monster inside him" called '''the Beast''',<ref>[[Sapphire Flame]] in-game [[:File:Patron female ally shiv start 04.mp3|voice line]] ''- "Shiv, the monster inside you is not the Beast, it is ambition. Complete the ritual and you will finally be sated."''</ref> and that he fears the Baxter Society could turn against him.<ref>[[Sapphire Flame]] in-game [[:File:Patron female ally shiv start 07.mp3|voice line]] ''- "I know you fear your brothers and sisters in the Baxter Society turning on you. But if you complete the Ritual, I can ensure you that never happens."''</ref>

Several Patron voicelines reference Shiv being made king or feeding his ambition.

'''Lady Geist''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. An old-time socialite with a necromantic pact, Lady Geist is a terrifying foe that consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from enemies. Sacrificing her life force to launch Essence Bombs and blood shards of Malice, Lady Geist can make up the lost health with a Life Drain tether to a nearby opponent. After being brought low by her own abilities or enemy attacks, she can conduct a Soul Exchange and swap health with her opponent, making them vulnerable to followup attacks from her revolver.

The Toast of the Town, Lady Geist was famed by all and invited to every ball and gala in the city... until her beauty faded in her old age and left her with only memories and stories of her glory. In desperation, she formed a pact with a powerful spirit and bound it by powerful wards until she was safe and young again. All she needs to do now is feed on the life force of her fellows to maintain her beauty... and hope desperately that the [[Oathkeeper]] will stay bound.

''This section contains '''spoilers''' for [[The Binding of Oathkeeper]].''

Jeanne Geist (married name) was born in France, in 1815. She married German artist<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_headline_69.mp3|transcription=The Museum of Modern Art recently announced a special gallery showcasing the work of late German artist Johann Geist.}}</ref> [[Johann Geist]]. Jeanne and Johann had a son named [[Minor characters#Walter Geist|Walter]] in 1850, and Johann died in 1880.

[[Storyline|Circa 1899]], when Jeanne was around 84 years old, the first [[Maelstrom]] happened, bringing various supernatural forces to Earth, and the spirit [[Oathkeeper]] was one of them. Jeanne made a pact with Oathkeeper to regain her youth in exchange for draining the life of others. She was initially reluctant, but accepted the deal. However, with the help of Walter, she made a ward to keep Oathkeeper under control.

Walter had a son whom he named after his father, [[Minor characters#Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann "Jr."]] Johann Jr. became a doctor, and after Walter died, he did the maintenance of his grandmother's ward. Jeanne and Walter had "a terrible sense of humor", according to Johann Jr.

Now, 50 years after her initial pact and on the eve of the second Maelstrom, Geist has to decide how she'll deal with Oathkeeper, and whether she'll continue to kill others to stay young or accept her natural aging and eventual death.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']]</ref>

'''Grey Talon''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a clever, long-range combatant that uses his powerful bow in combination with traps and mystical flight to pin down and destroy his foes. With the ability to charge his arrow shot for powerful effect, Grey Talon can harry his foes at a distance before launching a guided Spirit Owl to finish them off.

A founder of the monster hunting organisation [[The Baxter Society]], Grey Talon happily retired after 40 years of service to support his extended family. He was living well until he was alerted that that his son and daughter-in-law had died in a mysterious house fire. Now, he hunts the [[Friends of Humanity|perpetrators]] of the arson, bow in hand.
