The Eviscerator is an antagonist in Deadlocked. He was a powerful cybernetic insectoid creature. He was a sadistic member of the Exterminators, an elite group of gladiators in DreadZone, who enjoyed slaughtering contestants left and right, and was the only Exterminator unable to speak. He was eventually defeated by Ratchet and Team Darkstar in the Vindicator Tournament.
History[]
The Eviscerator, unlike the other Exterminators, had little backstory and never spoke. He was a bio-engineered creature of an unknown species who was bred for war and groomed for stardom by Gleeman Vox,[1] and at some point became one of the Exterminators.
The Eviscerator on a Vox News report.
During his time at DreadZone, Eviscerator was considered extremely deadly, and prior to Ratchet, none of his opponents had survived sixty seconds against him.[2] Eviscerator was also known for his knowledge of fine wine and gourmet dining, and for his precision with his blade: he would hand contestants their own bladders, and once showed a DreadZone contestant his own endocrine system. Though unable to speak, DreadZone also developed a method of communicating with him: when asked a question, he would disembowel a DreadZone security bot for "yes", and make it eat its own left arm for "no".[3]
Eviscerator terminated several contestants, including a hero named Mobius Man,[4] and a three-eyed robonoid gladiator.[2] He was eventually defeated by Ratchet in the Vindicator Tournament's "Eviscerator Battle".
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Concept art.
The Eviscerator is a large, insectoid and wore armor over his torso, as well as bracers and greaves, and wielded razor-sharp titanium blades. These blades seemed to be comprised of four parts, one on each elbow that protruded backward, while the other two were on the Eviscerator's wrists. All of these blades could be triggered independently from each other. Eviscerator resembles the tremors physically, suggesting possible relation to them.
Personality[]
Despite an inability to speak, the Eviscerator was a very intelligent creature. He had a precision and grace native to his species, and had extensive knowledge of fine wine and gourmet dining. However, he was still ultimately extremely bloodthirsty: though DreadZone were able to communicate with him, their communication relied on him harming security bots.[3]
Abilities[]
The Eviscerator in combat.
In combat, the Eviscerator wielded razor-sharp titanium blades, which he used with great precision; at one point, he showed a contestant their own endocrine system.[3] He was also incredibly quick and agile, performing forward handsprings around the battledome arena. Prior to Ratchet's battle, he had cut up all his opponents in under a minute.[2]
Eviscerator had the ability to generate an impenetrable forcefield around himself for protection, which could only be penetrated by the Harbinger. He could also shoot a vibronic ray out a ball of sonic energy that he formed in his hands and also fired small targeting missiles, and was capable of summoning tremors to his aid.
