Venator hero reveal in Deadlock on February 6, 2026

Some Are Merciful, The Venator Venator Is Not

Evil stirs in New York, and the Venator Venator is here to answer.

Venator Venator

Venator Venator doesn't walk the righteous path, he blazes the trail so that others may do so safely. His biggest challenge is knowing which weapon to use first. Firing a Consecrating Grenade Consecrating Grenade into the fray softens up his enemies and keeps them from restoring health, and his Hex-Lined Snap Trap Hex-Lined Snap Trap scatters across the ground to lock them in place. A Gutshot Gutshot from his shotgun will knock back enemies who get too close, and when the time is right, Ira Domini Ira Domini will rid the world of evil once and for all. - "Today, nine commandments will have to do."

Venator Venator joins the ritual now. The countdown for our final two heroes is upon us, and we'll see you back here on Monday February 9th at 2pm PST for our next release!

Background


The Venators of St. Benedict are a Vatican-sanctioned order whose members are deployed to regions with a high concentration of supernatural predators.   Few in number, their modus operandi is to observe, identify, and exterminate. They are methodical, they are precise, and once they identify a threat to the flock they are relentless.

But even amongst those who are called The Sword Of St. Benedict, one stands apart from the others.  A man whose hardened heart has allowed him to pay terrible prices in the name of the greater good... and he has once again been dispatched to New York..

I give thanks!

Thanks to your actions, the Venators of the Order of Saint Benedict have been officially authorized to operate in New York.

Our holy agent has already been dispatched and will soon arrive in the Archdiocese of Manhattan. Let the innocent rejoice and the sinners tremble, for the Lord’s divine judgment is being made manifest on Earth.

Father Quinn Ramsley

Venator Venator’s weapon is called “51:20,” a reference to Jeremiah 51:20: “You are my hammer and weapon of war.”
