One of my favourite things to do in Deadlock is to read up on each hero's lore. Some are as simple as «Jacob Lash is an asshole,» while others give a detailed description of a hero's journey and the tragedies they've overcome, like Bebop turning to a life of crime to pay for his creator's medicine.
And Deadlock's latest addition is no different. Mirage is the newest hero Valve has added to Deadlock. He's a bodyguard for the Djinn ambassador Nashala Dion, who is currently in New York City on a diplomatic mission: Finding a safe home for their kind and, for some reason, the best candidate for a new sovereign land is Wyoming.
I've never set foot in the US, so I can't speak on what Wyoming is like compared to the rest of the States, but it does seem like a random choice for a new utopia.
But other than having Wyoming in his sights, Mirage seems to be pretty useful on the battlefield. Tornado is his primary attack, transforming him into a whirlwind that can launch enemies into the air and deal damage.
Mirage's other abilities are Fire Scarabs and Djiinn's Mark. One launches bugs that drain enemy life force, and the other is a passive ability that increases the multiplier on your chosen target.
