Wraith lore and story
An editorial guide to Wraith's background, motive for entering the Ritual, and possible wish from a Patron.
Who is Wraith?
The cornerstone of the New York gambling scene, Wraith's organization is about as open a secret as it comes. However, thanks to a non-trivial amount of bribes, shakedowns, and blackmail, Wraith knows that she's above the law.
Wraith enters a Ritual in which six heroes aid a Patron against its rival. Victory matters beyond the match: the successful Patron can offer each ally a wish, turning every combatant's private motive into part of the city's larger occult crisis.
What would Wraith wish for?
To consolidate power and secure her position in the Cursed Apple's criminal underworld.
Strongly implied. Deadlock remains in development, so Lock Lab separates explicit canon from dialogue-based implication and editorial interpretation.Lock Lab reading
Wraith's story connects a personal problem to the larger struggle over the Amber Hand and Sapphire Flame. Excelling at one-on-one combat, Wraith isolates targets, eliminating them with ruthless efficiency. Then teleporting away before anyone can retaliate. is the gameplay expression; the lore asks what someone with that temperament would risk for a single supernatural bargain.
The Patron bargain makes this motive important: a wish is not simply a reward, but a test of what Wraith values and what price they may accept when an elder power controls the terms.
