'''Seven''' is [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a powerful and brutal mystic with control over electricity and lightnings. Starting engagements by stunning a foe with Static Charge, Seven activates a chain lightning Power Surge on his burst-fire rifle and unleashes a Lightning Ball to shock down his opponent quickly. Channeling the spirit of the storm, Seven can begin or end encounters by unleashing his Storm Cloud to electrocute all enemies within range that are not quick enough to escape.

It is not stated what actions lead to Seven being sent prisoner to [[Lost Whisper]], yet at the day of his execution Seven managed to escape, obliterating everyone who kept him in captivity for years in the process. Finally free, Seven's singular goal is to participate in [[Maelstrom|the ritual]] and reach apotheosis. And he will not stop before anything, or anyone who would stand in the way.

== Background ==
{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|When mystic energy awoke on Earth, the world changed… anything was possible. But just because anything WAS possible, didn't mean that anything SHOULD be possible. And so the government made rules. Laws. A means for US citizens to enjoy the benefits of the supernatural world in safety. But rules and laws are for lesser men. Men with limitations. Men who were not Seven.

There are many rumors about what Seven did to land himself in [[Lost Whisper]], an oubliette for the most dangerous of occultists. But there is no doubt about what happened on the night of his execution.

Wards placed by the most powerful ritualists of 7 different nations... wards designed to not just prevent mystical interference with the execution, but to simultaneously obliterate Seven's soul so that it could never be contacted, resurrected, or otherwise be used by someone looking to follow in his footsteps... failed.

Onlookers viewed in horror as the strongest mentalist employed by the US Army’s head popped like a grape. They screamed as Scotland Yard’s premiere occult investigator, the one who allegedly captured Seven, crumbled to ash. Seven’s body buckled and writhed against his restraints; his skin burning from eldritch electricity... and yet he would not die. He laughed.

He laughed as he tore himself free from his bondage.

He laughed as his captors cowered in fear.

He laughed as he massacred his tormentors.

He laughed as he tasted the fresh air that was denied to him for years.

And he laughed when he thought about what he was going to do once he reached [[The Cursed Apple|New York City]].

=== Lore ===
Seven claims he was imprisoned in [[Lost Whisper]] because he "offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos". He says he "doesn't like" murder, but rather is "indifferent" to it.<ref name=":2">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven conversations]]</ref>

Seven has done research on the [[Astral Gates]], and he credits [[Dynamo|Professor Dynamo]] as an influence in his work.<ref name=":0">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Dynamo conversation]] ''-'' Seven: ''I'm a fan of your work, Professor. (...) Your research into the Astral Gates paved the way for my own. In my rare moments of doubt, sometimes I even wonder if I would have become the man I am were it not for you.''</ref>

Seven's goal of "apotheosis"<ref name=":1">[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Viscous conversation]] - Viscous: ''"So what do you do?"'' Seven: ''"Strive for apotheosis."''</ref> means the glorification of a subject to divine level,<ref>[[wikipedia:Apotheosis|Wikipedia article on Apotheosis]] - ''"Apotheosis, also called divinization or deification, is the glorification of a subject to divine levels and, commonly, the treatment of a human being, any other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity."'' </ref> implying that Seven wants to become a god, or gain godlike powers.

On the run from the [[OSIC]], Seven currently lives in New York's old subway tunnels. He tells [[Mo & Krill]] he has "particular needs" regarding the creation of new tunnels.<ref name=":2" />

[[The New York Oracle]] reporter [[Minor characters|Allie Kincaid]] is writing a story on Seven.<ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Holliday conversation]] - Holliday: ''"So, how do you know Allie?"'' Seven: ''"You haven't heard? She's writing a story about me."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster_seasonal_headline_16.mp3|transcription=The Oracle's own Allie Kincaid teases that her next interview will be... electrifying!}}</ref>

== Character interactions ==

*Seven has a one-sided rivalry with [[Kelvin]] for unknown reasons.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt_kill_kelvin_05.mp3|context=(killed Kelvin)|transcription=It was always going to come down to you and me, Kelvin.}}</ref><ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Kelvin conversation]] - Kelvin: "''Why do you hate me so much?"'' Seven: "''The Patron will reveal all."'' Kelvin: "''And then what?"'' Seven: "''And then I'll let you stew on when I'll come to kill you."''
</ref> Kelvin thinks Seven "seems familiar".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|file=Kelvin kill gigawatt 02.mp3|context=(killed Seven)|transcription=He seemed... familiar.}}</ref> Additionally, both Seven and Kelvin have an interest on researching Astral Gates.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Kelvin|quote=A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn’t build an expedition team fast enough.}}</ref> When being healed by Kelvin, Seven is reminded of "old times".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt_ally_kelvin_clutch_heal_02.mp3|context=(healed by Kelvin)|transcription=Like old times, eh Kelvin?}}</ref>
** A lik<nowiki/>ely possibility is that Seven is Kelvin's old friend Edrick, who "vanished".<ref>Kelvin and Lady Geist conversation - Kelvin: ''"Edrick." (...) "I don't know. I tried to find him when I returned to New York, but... it's like he's vanished."''</ref> This is supported by one of Seven's lines to Kelvin that mirrors one of Kelvin's lines about Edrick.<ref>[[Seven/Quotes#Conversations|Seven and Kelvin conversation]] - Kelvin: ''"Heh, I thought you hated me."'' Seven: ''"I do. But if anyone is going to kill you, it's going to be me."''</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Kelvin|file=Kelvin revenge kill.mp3|context=(revenge kill)|transcription=If someone's going to kill me, it's going to be Edrick, not you.}}</ref>
* Seven<nowiki/> believes Kelvin has a bigger ego than [[Lash]].<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Seven|file=Gigawatt kill lash 01.mp3|context=(killed Lash)|transcription=His ego is almost as big as Kelvin's.}}</ref>
* Seven<nowiki/> has a strong conviction that exceptional magic users should use their powers, regardless of how others might judge them for it. He criticizes [[Dynamo]] for wanting to "throw away" the "great gift" of his star body, teases [[Infernus]] for "putting on a muzzle" and "wasting" his powers, and says [[McGinnis]] is "wasting her brilliance" working for [[Fairfax Industries]]. He respects [[Ivy]] for "seeing the world as it was and deciding it was not acceptable to her".<ref name=":2" />
* [[Paradox|Parad]]<nowiki/>[[Paradox|ox]] threatens to reveal the location of Seven's safehouse.<ref name=":2" />
* Seven<nowiki/> wants to commission Paradox for a job.<ref name=":2" />
* When <nowiki/>on the same team, Seven teases [[Haze]] for working alongside him and asks how soon will they start fighting each other once the [[The Ritual|ritual]] is over.<ref name=":2" />
