As a Catholic - Venator is basically perfect
Credit: u/nibywib

The main reason I picked up Deadlock was because I saw Venator and knew I couldn’t miss out on playing him. The more I play, the more I appreciate his design. I LOVE the censer hanging from his hip (even if it’s not realistic, I love the bulletproof vest over the cassock.

For the most part, his voice lines are perfect. He acts as a fatherly figure for some like Graves and Holliday, a determined colleague to Haze and Yamato. But he also does not pull punches with resisting evil characters, like Seven or Graves’ lich mentor.

His characterization as a genuine believer and good priest who so happens to have a talent for killing makes it really fun to hear anything he has to say. The only complaint I have is a nitpick - when he kills Mirage (I’m pretty sure it’s Mirage), he wistfully says “in another life…” which is not the way a priest would express that idea.

His 3 is really boring and pretty useless at the end of the game. Otherwise, he is basically perfect. He’s a ton of fun to play, and has a really satisfying kit. In terms of balance it seems like they’ve really hit the nail on the head, as he has received no direct buffs or nerfs since his release. I just wanted to say that it’s awesome as a Catholic to see a Catholic character portrayed in an honest, realistic, and interesting way. They could have easily gone the “asshole/evil” priest direction but it’s so refreshing that they made him overall kind and protective in equal measure to his vengeful nature.
