'''Lash''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a brutal bruiser of a Hero, eagerly initiating fights and chasing down fleeing opponents. He leaps into combat with his Grappling hook, Flogging his foes with a life-stealing whip and stomping the ground with a Ground Strike that damages multiple targets. If the enemy team groups up, Lash can pick them all up at once and Death Slam them into the ground.

A champion of an underground fighting arena, Lash has built a reputation as a tough and unsavoury character.

Lash is a champion of the [[Bear Pit]], an underground arena of blood sport where spectators gamble on matches. [[Bebop]] is another known pit fighter and Lash’s titular rival. Lash mocks [[Wraith]] for betting on Bebop, and Wraith teases Lash because he lost to Bebop "one time".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Lash|file=Lash kill wraith 02.mp3|transcription=Backed the wrong horse, Wraith... Like always.}}</ref><ref>[[Lash/Quotes#Conversations|Lash and Wraith conversation]]</ref> Wraith heard from [[The Mendoza Syndicate|Mendoza]] that Lash was going to "take a dive" in a fight.

Lash is speculated to have a sailor background, given his anchor and the various ornaments that he wears. However, instead of a traditional nautical sailor, he more likely was an aeronaut, a sailor of the skies. Air travel is commonly done by airships that use zephyrs, or wind spirits, for air travel.<ref>2024-08-31 - [[Yoshi]]; [[:File:Yoshi Lore Hint from Discord.jpg|Deadlock Discord]] - ''"a random lore thing is that airplanes aren't a thing in this world, they use airships instead powered by wind spirits (zephyrs)"''</ref> On Lash’s left arm, he adorns a ship’s anchor tattoo surrounded by a cloud-like emblem, or possibly a zephyr.<ref>[[:File:Discord @Willkels- Connection Between Lash Tattoo and Zephyr.jpg|@willkels's Discord message]] about the connection between Lash's shoulder tattoo and Zephyrs.</ref> Additionally, Lash’s aptitude of air mobility and the ship’s horn sound on his ultimate ability “Death Slam” further imply an aeronaut background.

He taunted [[Kali]], a former [[Bear Pit]] competitor, for coming out of retirement only to go back to a 2 decade hiatus after losing to Bebop.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Lash|file=Lash kill kali 01.mp3|transcription=Not gonna dunk on you, Kali.
