| Weaves magic with an array of spell combos. | |
|---|---|
| A competent wizard knows perhaps two spells; an exceptional one, three or four. Wielding the elements of Quas, Wex and Exort, the Invoker surpasses them all. Forging Spirits of ice and fire to melt away the armor of enemies with great Alacrity while Snapping their heat-deprived cold bodies. Conjuring an Ice Wall to stop foes in their paths before vanishing into thin air, chilling nearby enemies like a Ghost Wandering through their ranks. Lifting enemies off the ground with a Tornado that reaches through half the battlefield, while charging up an Extractive Mana Pulse for the whirling foes to land into. Pulling down a gigantic Meteor from space to crush enemies along a path while at the same time unleashing a Deafening Blast to push them along meteor's path. And last but not least, predicting enemy movement and using the Sun to Strike enemies from anywhere on the map. Whatever magic he chooses, one thing is certain: All shall come to bow before the Arsenal Magus. | |

Bio[edit]
I am a beacon of knowledge blazing out across a black sea of ignorance.▶️Carl, the Invoker
Alias:
Kid
Lore:
In its earliest, and some would say most potent form, magic was primarily the art of memory. It required no technology, no wands or appurtenances other than the mind of the magician. All the trappings of ritual were merely mnemonic devices, meant to allow the practitioner to recall in rich detail the specific mental formulae that unlocked a spell's power.
The greatest mages in those days were the ones blessed with the greatest memories, and yet so complex were the invocations that all wizards were forced to specialize. The most devoted might hope in a lifetime to have adequate recollection of three spells—four at most. Ordinary wizards were content to know two, and it was not uncommon for a village mage to know only one—with even that requiring him to consult grimoires as an aid against forgetfulness on the rare occasions when he might be called to use it.
But among these early practitioners there was one exception, a genius of vast intellect and prodigious memory who came to be known as the Invoker. In his youth, the precocious wizard mastered not four, not five, not even seven incantations: He could command no fewer than ten spells, and cast them instantly. Many more he learned but found useless, and would practice once then purge from his mind forever, to make room for more practical invocations. One such spell was the Sempiternal Cantrap—a longevity spell of such power that those who cast it in the world's first days are among us still (unless they have been crushed to atoms).
Most of these quasi-immortals live quietly, afraid to admit their secret: But Invoker is not one to keep his gifts hidden. He is ancient, learned beyond all others, and his mind somehow still has space to contain an immense sense of his own worth...as well as the Invocations with which he amuses himself through the long slow twilight of the world's dying days.

Trivia[edit]
- In the earliest version of Invoker, the order of instances mattered when Invoke was cast. Invoker, therefore, had access to 27 spells, including most of the 10 still in the game (though with some differences).[1] For more information, see here.
- Invoker is (or used to be) a Magus like Rubick, who calls him the ▶️ ▶️ ▶️ Arsenal Magus. This title may be a reference to the Old Invoker.
- Invoker's Deafening Blast cast response ▶️ "Sonic boom!" is a reference to the signature move of Guile from the "Street Fighter" fighting game series.
- Invoker (Along with some players and casters) sometimes jokingly refers to his Chaos Meteor as a meatball (▶️ "Behold the meatball!"), due to their highly similar appearance.
- When Chaos Meteor is cast, ▶️ "Gallaron's Abyssal Carnesphere!" Carne is Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, and Italian for meat, and a sphere is the geometric shape of a ball. So, "carnesphere" is another way of saying "meatball".
- Invoker's preferred style of spellcasting, involving the invocation of mnemonics, is inspired by the magic in Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" series. Further references to Vancian magic are in the alternate names for his spells, which involve verbose invocations such as "Sadron's Protracted Frisson" and "Killing Wall of Koryx.".
- When purchasing Blink Dagger, ▶️ "Dagger of the mind." references the "Dagger" monologue from Shakespeare's play, "Macbeth".
- Invoker's respawn line ▶️ "Knowing me... knowing you." references the song by the band Abba, of the same name.[2]
- Invoker's voice actor, Dennis Bateman, also voices the Spy from Team Fortress 2. Invoker's killing response ▶️ "You die as you lived: insipid and ignorant." is a reference to this, as the Spy also has 2 similar killing responses: "You died as you lived: running away!" and "You died as you lived: morbidly obese!".
- The first letter of Quas, Wex and Exort refers to the key of a QWERTY keyboard they are by default bound to (Q, W, and E). In lore, they are most likely mnemonics used to Invoke abilities.
- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- Invoker uses the model of Kael'thas Sunstrider, a campaign-only variant of the Human Blood Mage hero.
- In DotA, The name was shortened to Kael. The name was changed in Dota 2 to avoid copyright issues with "Blizzard Entertainment".
- Invoker has a 1/10 chance to spawn in with the name "Kal-El", a reference to Superman, whose birth name is Kal-El.
- Invoker has a 1/10 chance to spawn in with the name "Carl". See the section below for explanations.
Name[edit]
- In DotA, Invoker's name is Kael,[3] based on the WarCraft Blood Elf Mage character, Kael'thas Sunstrider.
- In April 2011, a fake DotA 6.72 Chinese changelog[4] referred to Invoker as "卡尔" ("Kael", transliterated as "Kǎ'ěr"). A PlayDota forum member translated the changelog[5] with Google Translate, in an attempt to get a quick, rough translation. Google Translate mistakenly translated "卡尔" as "Carl". PlayDota forum members were at first confused, then entertained by the mistake. IceFrog, the lead developer of DotA and Dota 2, joked "Carl had it coming".[6]
- In December 2011, drafts of Invoker's Dota 2 lore referred to him as "Garral" twice, presumably a nod to "Carl". This name was excised upon Invoker's release in January 2012; the lore currently refers to him only as "the Invoker".
- Invoker's voice lines include the name Carl three times. Invoker has a small chance to speak one of these lines when his model is selected:
- Undying uses the name Carl once, when meeting an allied Invoker on the battlefield, and even then only 5% of the time:
- ▶️ "Carl, is that you?"
- Mirana uses the name Carl once, when killing an enemy Invoker, and even then only 5% of the time:
- ▶️ "Carl, meet Sagan." A pun on Carl Sagan. Mirana's feline mount is named Sagan.
- In summary, Invoker's real name was meant to be possibly Carl, hence the audio files that Mirana, Undying, and Invoker himself mentioned beforehand. The release of Young Invoker persona has confirmed this, in the item's description, that the real name of Invoker is indeed Carl.
