I need to stay unpredictable.

Pocket is a Hero in Deadlock. With a powerful shotgun and highly mobile abilities, they thrive in close encounters. Channelling their magic briefcase to Barrage groups of enemies with spiritual bursts, Pocket may use their sentient cloak to teleport beside their targets and unload their shotgun; disappearing inside their Enchanter's Satchel to avoid return fire. In larger groups, they can unleash an Affliction to slowly eat away at their health, setting their enemies up for a devastating attack.

The eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, Arin "Pocket" Fairfax has been in hiding for over 5 years after a failed assassination attempt. Fearing for their life and wishing to chart their own path, the newly nicknamed Pocket has been keeping their original identity secret while investigating who had tried to kill them.

Notes

• Damage Amp is applied on Pocket, meaning it amplifies Pocket's damage against all enemies and NPCs, even if they weren't hit by Barrage.
• Damage Amp works against Sinner's Sacrifice. With max stacks, Pocket can hit jackpot with only 2 heavy melees. This is likely a bug.
• Casting Barrage again before running out of stacks removes the existing stacks.

Backstory

See Pocket/Lore for more story content.

“

Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn't know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent's company... but in the avarice fueled viper's nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone.

Taking on the name "Pocket", Arin desperately wants to keep their true identity a secret… not only for their own protection; but because they want to forge their own identity separate from their parents.

Trivia

• Pocket was named Synth in Neon Prime. They were later renamed to Fairfax.
• Pocket is voiced by Greg Chun, who also voices Shiv.
• A possible inspiration for Pocket's kit is the hero Puck from Dota 2. Besides having similar names, both Pocket and Puck have the abilities to send a slow moving projectile that damages enemies and that they can teleport to, deal AOE burst damage, and become invulnerable for a short time by going into hiding.
• "Sulking in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Pocket in the Hideout.
• Pocket's backstory and abilities have some similarities to the Biblical Plagues of Egypt: the death of the firstborn, the plague of frogs, and the pestilence (Affliction).
• In Pocket's original model, their left hand had an eye tattoo on its back and a decayed skin tissue that glowed with the suitcase.
