Deadlock's next hero is Venator, a special agent of the Vatican who has 2 guns—also a grenade, a bear trap, and a crossbow that shoots holy stakes

Venator, a grinning war-priest with a smoking cigar in his mouth, poses heroically on the character select screen in Deadlock.

Deadlock's most recent update, "Old Gods, New Blood", has added six new heroes to the game. Well, kinda—it's allowed players to vote on the release order of six new heroes, which have been coming to the cursed apple piecemeal. So far we've had sleepy little guy Rem, an actual highschooler (who you bet is somehow listening to My Chemical Romance in the 1950s) Graves, and drunk werewolf Silver, who I am normal about.

The most recent addition to the cast is Venator, leaving the fencer Apollo and carnie Celeste in the lurch, and to be fair it's not hard to see why—this man has aura, and I'm not just talking about the shining power of the Holy Spirit.
