Character

Forge

Forge was a non-player character originally announced as a legend for Season 4. In the Stories from the Outlands short "Up Close and Personal", he was assassinated by Revenant, who was then announced as the Season 4 legend. Standing 6'5.5" tall and weighing 269lbs, James McCormick, nicknamed "The Forge", was a 5-time Hyperfighting Federation champion[3] before he was set to join the Apex Games. He has already achieved widespread popularity as the "People's Champ", and was notably already popular three years ago when he met, and sexually harassed, Anita Williams[4]. His entrance to the games was highly anticipated because of his popularity, alongside his sponsorship by Hammond Robotics. Before his official entrance to the games, he was being interviewed live by Outland Television's Lisa Stone when Revenant snuck behind him and impaled him, immediately causing his death at the age of 28.
