| 218 | She gets a bit of extra story in ''Champions'': It was her grandmother's music box. Its tiny ice-skater twirled to Swan Lake. She loved it. She couldn't sleep without hearing its tune. Then she heard it in her dreams. Then always. She would become a skater herself. She would twirl and twirl until the music stopped. But it never stopped. She began to see dark, spidery things. When the clozapine didn't help, she turned to heroin. In the shooting gallery, she met Anarki. He saw things, too. They became inseparable... until the things they saw became real. |

His orange color doesn't match the metal-green tones nor the red and black of the regular Tanks or their commander class. He doesn't even have the neck cables his counterparts have.

| 307 | |
| 308 | A street punk who turned into transhumanism... out of boredom. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | In ''Champions'', he gets a bit more backstory: Anarki's rebellion began with the usual self-vandalism, but he craved something greater and found it in transhumanism. Using family riches, he underwent increasingly extreme cybernetic surgeries. After a microelectrode pierced his pineal gland, Anarki perceived a surreal, alien reality breakthrough. He eagerly sought more procedures, ignoring the insomnia. Each strengthened his perception of the hidden realm. But only once he met a girl who saw it, too, was he sure he could reach it. |
| 311 | |
| 312 | Anarki's active ability in ''Champions'' is "Injection". On use, Anarki restores his health to full while also permanently increasing his maximum health and gaining a temporary speed boost. His passive ability is "Hoverboard Pro", which allows Anarki to change direction more easily when in the air. |
| 313 | ---- |
| 314 | * ArtificialLimbs: His robotic left arm in ''Champions'' and most of his body in ''III''. |
| 315 | * BourgeoisBohemian: A darker example of the trope, in ''Champions'' he was implied to be a member of a privileged background where he was able to obtain funds to sport his extensive cybernetic implants. |
| 316 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: To the point that his grip on reality, according to ''Champions'', began to loosen as he replaced more and more of himself with machinery, and he started to perceive eldritch alternate realities. |
| 317 | * {{Cyborg}}: His bio in both games states that he underwent extreme cybernetic surgeries to achieve transhumanism. |
| 318 | * DelinquentHair: Sports a mohawk in ''Champions''. |
| 319 | * DemBones: His "Bone Daddy" costume in ''Champions'' turns him into an undead skeleton. |
| 320 | * {{Foil}}: In ''Champions'', both he and Slash are extreme sports enthusiasts with rebellious streaks, which act as a catalyst for their friendship when they meet together at a shooting gallery. In contrast to Slash, Anarki is a (former) member of the upper class who used his wealth for his extensive cybernetic surgeries along with his use of a skateboard. |
| 321 | * HealThyself: Anarki can regenerate his entire health bar in ''Champions'' with his "Health Injection" ability, and increase the top health up to 125 health points, two pints each time the ability is used. As a countermeasure, its cooldown time is the highest in the game (45 seconds). |
| 322 | * HoverBoard: In both games, though it's purely cosmetic in ''III''. In ''Champions'' it's what allows him to benefit from "Hoverboard Pro". |
| 323 | * LeetLingo: He's prone to using this in most of his chat messages. |
| 324 | * MidBoss: The final boss of Tier 4. |
| 325 | * MouthStitchedShut: It's never explained why his lips are stitched together, but that's why all of his vocalizations sound like they're going through a closed mouth. |
| 326 | * MusicalAssassin: His "Shrieker" guitar accessory in the "Vanity" category in ''Champions''. The guitar itself was sold to him by a musician who made a DealWithTheDevil, so the guitar whispers dark thoughts in Anarki's mind after he stops playing it. |
| 327 | * PaintingTheMedium: His name appears in a rainbow coloration to further cement his showboating personality. |
| 328 | * PinealWeirdness: According to ''Champions'', he began to perceive alien dimensions after a microelectrode pierced his pineal gland. |
| 329 | * TheQuincyPunk: He's the futuristic cyborg version of this trope. |
| 330 | * RollerbladeGood: His skateboard, which allows him to stay in the air for a bit longer than his enemies. |
| 331 | * TotallyRadical: His chatlines are written in XtremeKoolLetterz format, and has several of these attitudes, as seen in taunt lines from ''III'': |
| 332 | -->''"Oh ~d00d! <map> is like my totally favorite place to hang."''\ |
| 333 | ''"I ride in kewler circles, lamer. CU [=L8r=]."'' |
| 334 | * TheUndead: His "Bone Daddy" costume in ''III'' is the logical extreme, turning him into a punk skeleton. |
| 335 | * VerbalTic: Has a tendency to repeat "d00d!" every sentence in ''III''. |
| 336 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Anarki's default costume in ''III''. |

| 346 | |
| 347 | ->'''Voiced by''': Andrey Baranov (''Quake Champions'') |
| 348 | |
| 349 | Visor is an enigmatic combatant of the Arena Eternal. |
| 350 | |
| 351 | In ''Champions'' he gets a bit more of backstory: To produce the perfect infantry, Moscow’s GRU deployed cybernetics, genetics, and even cloning. The result: tireless operatives impervious to panic or pain, with “manageable” psychopathy. But their senses were dulled—especially sight. The GRU turned into a cryptic American scientist and double agent. Just 3 of 20 subjects returned, each with a grafted mask, inexplicably normal vision, and the ability to see through matter. Attempts to reverse-engineer the mask were fatal and revealed only a layer of putrefied blood within the mask. Disposal of the casualties remains unconfirmed. |
| 352 | |
| 353 | Visor's active ability in ''Champions'' is "Piercing Sight", which allows him to see enemy players through walls for 5 seconds. His passive ability in ''Champions'' is "Full Sprint", which gives him a Light champion's speed and a higher speed cap. |
| 354 | ---- |
| 355 | * ArtificialLimbs: His legs are cybernetic, which allows him to pick up extra speed with "Full Sprint" in ''Champions''. |
| 356 | * AscendedExtra: |
| 357 | ** Bears a distinct resemblance to the basic Strogg Guards fought in ''VideoGame/QuakeII''. |
| 358 | ** ''VideoGame/QuakeChampions'' indicates he has no relation to the Strogg at all, and is a Russian cyborg SuperSoldier from the same cyberpunk alternate universe that Slash and Anarki are from. |
| 359 | * BilingualBonus: Most of his voice lines in ''Champions'' are in Russian. |
| 360 | * TheBlank: Courtesy of the [[MeaningfulName visor]] on his face. |
| 361 | * BodyHorror: Aside from [[FacialHorror that lovely tidbit about his mask]], Visor's skin isn't strictly part of his body according to flavour text - he simply grafted his old human skin over his cybernetics, and some of his alternate costumes play this element up for a patchwork appearance. |
| 362 | * {{Cyborg}}: Everything below his waist is cybernetic, as well as various other parts of his body, most notably his face. |
| 363 | * EvilLaugh: His taunt in ''III: Arena'' is a particularly hammy one. |
| 364 | * FacialHorror: According to his ''Champions'' bio, the masks on Visor and his fellow {{super soldier}}s are grafted onto their skulls and impossible to remove without killing the owner. The GRU attempted to surgically remove one of the masks for study and found [[TheBlank nothing but unidentifiable blood and gore underneath]]. |
| 365 | * MyBrainIsBig: The "Psionic" costume in ''Champions'' features a swollen, malformed forehead with an optional armored covering. |
| 366 | * PsychicPowers: Alluded to in his "Psionic" costume in ''Champions''. One of the remaining supersoldiers in Visor's unit had such power, and the project to further explore this was terminated when he convinced a team of researchers to rip out their organs. |
| 367 | %% * TheRematch: In ''Arena Arcade'' he's ashamed to lose against you, so the challenge "Saving Face" is a rematch against him. |
| 368 | * SovietSuperscience: While not Soviet, according to his ''Champions'' bio, Visor was created through Russian supersoldier experiments. He has the accent down though. |
| 369 | * XRayVision: His "Piercing Sight" ability in ''Champions'' allows him to see through walls. |

| 397 | The Terran Coalition's reverse-engineering of Slipgate travel created new frontiers – and wars. In the Subic system, thousands of mining colonists were slaughtered by the Klesk, an indigenous chitinid race. The first casualty: Lance Corporal Ben Keel, a marine on perimeter duty. To learn what happened, Coalition scientists used neuroprosthetics and poorly understood xenobiology to resurrect Keel. He returned to life with a mostly robotic body but with his mind and memories seemingly intact. Only weeks later did the fugues start, each bringing longer-lasting visions of a shadowy hellscape. |
| 398 | |
| 399 | His active ability is "Grenade Swarm", which simply consists of him firing his shoulder-mounted grenade launchers. It can charge several times before use and can be used alongside conventional weapons, giving Keel some serious firepower. He has two passive abilities: "Stockpile" reduces the cooldown time of his active ability every time he collects an ammo pickup, while "Reinforced" reduces the splash damage by 15%. |

| 401 | * BackFromTheDead: |
| 402 | ** Died during an insurrection in his backstory in ''III'', was revived as a {{cyborg}}. |

| 413 | * SpamAttack: "Grenade Swarm" in ''Champions'' gives Keel another weapon to fire alongside the weapon he's currently holding. Since it's his ability, just by filling 20% of the meter he gets one grenade, and the meter can be further filled by picking up ammo boxes, Keel has the potential to fill the land with grenades. |

| 461 | The UAC's most remarkable discovery was in Hell's Kadingir Sanctum. Surrounded by nearly impassable terrain, the team discovered a sealed tomb – its entrance and walls covered in protective runes and imprisonment incantations. The tomb revealed many artifacts, including the Praetor suit. Most notable, however, was an enormous sarcophagus bound to the centre bedrock of the tomb with thick iron bands – seemingly anchored to prevent anything from getting in or out. It was believed this sarcophagus must hold a rare or powerful demon, but when later opened, it revealed the body of a man. Unrelenting; unforgiving; driven by a rage that cannot be contained. The Doom Slayer has been to Hell and brought it to its knees. He has no records, and he seems to vanish as quickly as he appears. The few witness accounts available detail a ruthless killer. |
| 462 | |
| 463 | His active ability in ''Champions'' is "Berserk". Upon activation, the Doom Slayer enters a berserk state for 6 seconds ([[ThemeSongPowerUp signed by the first notes]] of the ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' rendition of [[AwesomeMusic/{{Doom}} "At Doom's Gate"]]), only being able to attack his enemies with bare hands, but his damage output increases dramatically. If the ability is used during this state, Doom will lunge at his enemy with a massive blow. His passive ability is "Double Jump". The Slayer can jump twice in succession. |

| 470 | * CrazyPrepared: His "Arena" skin in ''Champions'' includes a foot ornament called "Combat Knife", used "for last-ditch efforts" as well as a helmet with laser sightings and an armband filled with Shotgun shells. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation All of that for display, obviously.]] |

| 490 | |
| 491 | A mercenary Sorg merchant who resorts to every measure to get ahead of the trade. |
| 492 | |
| 493 | In ''Champions'', her backstory is extended: Her clan harvested the most warmbloods; they gorged themselves and had flesh-stock left over. Many credited the Haruspex, who could open terrifying windows to the Other Place using the warmbloods' steaming guts. As their best hunter, Sorlag credited herself. She would expose him by using the warmblood's forcefield devices to spill his "sacred" bowel-bowl. Morning came, the ritual began, and all saw the Other Place—dark, metal, cold. Sorlag leapt with the device. But her claws had crossed the window. She saw the bowl topple as she was pulled in, screeching. |
| 494 | |
| 495 | Sorlag's active ability in ''Champions'' is "Acid Spit". Sorlag vomits up a potent acid, dealing damage over time to enemies hit by it and also coating the ground to damage enemies that step in it for a short time. In addition, she has ''three'' passive abilities: "Bunny Hop" allows her to gain speed by repeatedly jumping in a single direction. "Acid Fiend" makes Sorlag immune to her own Acid Spit, as well as those of enemy Sorlags. Lastly, "Leaping Lizard" allows her to alter her movement direction in the air. |

Instead of a healthy new warrior for the Arena Eternal, they found themselves in possession of a handful of shattered corpses - all that remained after an Allied shell had torn apart Fritzkrieg and his companions. Undaunted, they pieced together the intact elements of the various bodies to form a horrific collage of flesh and blood - with a mind as shattered as the bodies it had once occupied."'' |
