Apollo: The Dark Truth About His Family | Deadlock Lore

Apollo might be the most arrogant hero in Deadlock, but his family history is a lot darker than you'd expect. He's an 18-year-old Ixian noble living in New York while political violence tears apart his homeland. His father, Mikhail, is a powerful North Ixian warlord. His family has enemies, political assassinations have affected his life, and there's even a disturbing piece of dialogue about what happened to his mother. So why does Apollo's family have such a terrible reputation among certain Ixians? What is his father's connection to Fairfax Industries? And does Apollo really understand the political world he's preparing to return to? In this episode of Patron Saint, we're digging into Apollo's complete Deadlock lore, including: • His childhood and life at Blackmore Academy • His father, Mikhail, and the ruling family of North Ixia • The disturbing mystery surrounding his mother • His ancestral sword and Ixian traditions • His relationships with Infernus, Graves, Abrams, and other heroes • The Fairfax Industries connection • His motivations for participating in the ritual We'll also explore some of the biggest theories surrounding Apollo's family and what his future could look like. Speculative theories are identified as such and are not confirmed Deadlock canon.
