Lash
Lash 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.

Background
“Jacob Lash is an asshole.
— A FATE'S TALE
Lore
Lash is speculated to have a sailor background given the various ornaments and ship’s anchor that he wears. However, it is most likely not a traditional nautical sailor, but an aeronaut, a sailor of the skies. Statements from Deadlock developer Yoshi indicate that no airplanes exist in the Deadlock world.[1] Instead, airships use zephyrs, or wind spirits, for air travel. On Lash’s left arm, he adorns a ship’s anchor tattoo surrounded by a cloud-like emblem, or possibly a zephyr.[2] Additionally, Lash’s aptitude of air mobility and the ship’s horn sound on his ultimate ability “Death Slam” further imply an aeronaut background. Voice lines from Mo & Krill call Lash a “stevedore”, a person that helps unloads cargo from ships, which suggest that Lash could be a dockworker or a ship rigger that helps in the smuggling business.
Past the shipping background, Lash is a champion of the Bear Pit, an underground arena of blood sport where spectators can gamble on matches. Bebop is another known pit fighter who is often referred to as Lash’s titular rival. Lash makes a few remarks to Wraith, leader of New York’s gambling syndicate, mocking her for betting on Bebop.[3][4] A conversation between the two was shared by Deadlock developer Kaori, providing additional context on the two's history: According to Wraith, the Mendoza Syndicate said that Lash was going to "take a fall" in a fight with Bebop. Instead, Lash won the fight, resulting in Wraith losing "a lot" of money in the process.[5][6]
Neon Prime
In Neon Prime, an earlier development version of Deadlock, Lash owned a dojo. 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.[7]
In this version, Lash also used to date the character Ballista, and wanted to get them back after a break-up.
Character interactions
- Lash often references Bebop in his dialogue, hinting at a rivalry between the two.
- Lash used to fight with uppercuts, but he stopped when Bebop started doing the move.
