Lore

Main article: Fade (character)
Born into a family of military-tech hunters, Ignacio Huamaní learned early to never let loot go to your head. He worked beside his ex-mercenary father and brothers, recovering advanced weaponry to sell to the highest bidder. But as the youngest, he was always stuck with the role of lookout. Ignacio was eager to prove his worth, so he secretly connected with a client offering an opportunity too good to turn down: a hefty reward for finding a lost prototype tech suit.

It wasn't easy locating the crashed IMC cargo ship containing the suit, but when Ignacio finally did, he ended up walking his family into an ambush. The contract was a set-up, and his family paid the price. But before the client's hitmen could kill Ignacio, he activated the suit and phased to another dimension. It took him a long time to master enough of the suit's phasing power to return to his home dimension, but when he did, all that remained of his family was dried blood.

Ignacio joins the Apex Games as Fade to enact his revenge. He'll climb the ranks, drawing as much attention to himself and his suit as possible to lure the client out of hiding. The suit will be the bait -- Fade will be the punishment.

Trivia

  • Fade's Flashback ability is derived from Titanfall 2's Phase Rewind boost.
  • During the "Hunted" launch trailer's premiere, during the countdown, a grunt can be heard saying that he would buy a jacket that could allow him to go back in time, presumably referencing Fade and his Flashback ability.
