'''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. | |||
