DEADBOLT - The Master Thief
Background:
Marcus "Deadbolt" Lockhart was once a respected detective in the city's police force. Known for his keen intellect and unwavering sense of justice, he was tasked with investigating a series of high-profile murders. As he delved deeper into the case, Marcus discovered evidence that implicated several influential politicians and wealthy businessmen in the crimes. Before he could expose the truth, he was framed for the murders and sent to prison.
While serving his sentence, Marcus discovered a hidden talent for manipulating locks and mechanical devices. He honed these skills in secret, planning for the day he would be released and could clear his name. Upon his release, Marcus adopted the alias "Deadbolt" and became a master thief, targeting the corrupt individuals who had wronged him and others like him.
During one heist, Deadbolt's partner was killed, and he barely escaped with his life. This event served as a turning point, causing him to reevaluate his priorities. He decided to use his unique skillset to fight for justice and protect the innocent, becoming a vigilante hero in the process.

eadbolt is a highly mobile and elusive hero who excels at infiltrating enemy lines and disrupting their strategies. His Lockpick ability allows him to disable key equipment and stun enemies, creating openings for his team to capitalize on. Smoke Screen provides a reliable escape mechanism and can be used to help allies disengage from unfavorable fights.
With his Grappling Hook, Deadbolt can quickly reposition himself on the battlefield, reach advantageous positions and traverse the map with great ease. His Ultimate, Master Plan, turns him into a formidable assassin, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence on a target before teleporting in for a devastating attack.
To make the most of his kit, Deadbolt should look to flank enemies and catch them off guard, using his mobility and disabling abilities to create chaos and confusion. By carefully selecting his targets and coordinating with his team, Deadbolt can be a constant thorn in the enemy's side, always one step ahead of their plans.

- Cooldown: 12 seconds
- Grappling Hook (Utility Ability)
- Deadbolt fires a grappling hook at a targeted location, allowing him to quickly traverse the battlefield or reach high ground.
- Upon landing, Deadbolt gains a short burst of increased movement speed and a small shield that absorbs incoming damage.
- Cooldown: 15 seconds
- Master Plan (Ultimate Ability)
- Deadbolt targets an enemy hero and begins gathering information on their movements and abilities for 6 seconds.
- During this time, Deadbolt gains vision of the targeted hero and can see their silhouette through walls.
