Charges into close combat

Abrams has the bulk and sustain to lead from the front, often running into the middle of his foes and watching them scatter. If his enemies waste their fire on him, his backline teammates can lay out damage with impunity.

Abrams is a Hero in Deadlock. He is a hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging groups of enemies and relying on his high health, high damage output, and life draining ability to stay in the fight. With a powerful area stun and a devastating shoulder charge, Abrams can isolate fragile targets from the rest of the team and set-up his more damaging allies to finish them off.

A capable and well-known detective of New York, Abrams solved crimes ranging from kidnappings to ritual murders. One day, a mysterious Tome was left on his desk with a note of "Don't let them have it" scrolled in Onyx blood; followed by car bombings and break-ins to his office. Now, Abrams is trying to figure out just what the hell is going on.

Background

“

Hard hitting, hard headed, and hard drinking; Detective Abrams has been a fixture on the New York investigating scene for years. From stolen art, to missing persons, to ritual murders; Abrams didn't just take any case that came across his desk... he solved them.

But his days of following cheating spouses came to an end the day he opened his office door and found The Tome sitting on his desk.

No instruction was left for him save for a brief note scrawled in onyx blood that read "Don't let them have it". Abrams hasn't figured out where the thing came from; but seeing as his home has been broken into, his office tossed on 3 different occasions, and his car firebombed he has a vested interest in figuring out what the hell is going on.

— A FATE'S TALE

Lore

Abrams is Ixian. However, unlike Infernus, he does not demonstrate control over fire.

Character interactions

• In one of the endings of The Binding of Oathkeeper, Abrams moves to Lady Geist's apartment.

• Abrams calls Infernus "his bartender".
• Abrams plays in Wraith's weekly poker game.
• Wraith calls Abrams "Abe".
• Paradox is interested in the Tome. She also warns Abrams to stop investigating her organization.
