'''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]].

{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|

The Djinn are one of the more curious groups of people in the modern world.  Possessing great power in controlled doses, Djinn are incapable of maintaining corporeal form for longer than 48 minutes without resting within a vessel.  As a result, most Djinn employ human bodyguards for transport, protection, and companionship.

Mirage is one such bodyguard.  Employeed by Djinn ambassador Nashala Dion, Mirage is in New York on a diplomatic mission.  It's the hope of the Djinn that they can negotiate with the US government for a sale of part of Wyoming so that they can build a sovereign nation for their people.
