Eliott Witt, also known by his alias Mirage, is a playable Legend in Apex Legends. As a competitor in the Apex Games, his moniker is "Holographic Trickster".

History

Mirage is the kind of guy who likes to stand out. The youngest of four brothers, he perfected the art of fooling around to get attention. The one thing he took seriously was Holo-Pilot technology: introduced to the illusion-creating tech by his engineer mother, he poured over the mechanisms and learned all he could about them. Even when his brothers went MIA during the Frontier War, Mirage and his mother continued to develop holo devices, and the work brought them closer.

While working as a bartender to make ends meet, Mirage heard amazing stories from his patrons about the Apex Games and the wealth and glory that came with victory. As good as both of those sounded, he knew he couldn’t risk leaving his mother childless – until she gave him a set of customized holo devices and told him to follow his dream. Mirage is now the life of the Apex Games, outwitting opponents and charming audiences across the Outlands.

Send out a hologram of yourself to deceive or "bamboozle" enemy squads of where you are. If your hologram is shot, Mirage will say something along the lines of "you got bamboozled" (and show where the shooter was). You can control this decoy (which will mimic your moves) by holding the tactical button and release control by the same process. The decoy exists for 60 seconds and will disappear if you send another one out before it disappears.

Trivia

• According to developer commentary:
  • Much of Mirage's personality and presentation is inspired by Respawn developer Mohammad Alavi, to the point where a motion capture actor described his thought process as thinking of Alavi and then exaggerating.
  • He's described as "a bit vain" with how he jokes around with holos of himself. Many of his tricks and gambits are described as "vaudevillian."
  • Unlike most other characters, he openly acknowledges he's talking to himself when describing the game state as a solo character.
  • He embodies the idea of describing a character in 1-3 words, given how apt "Holographic Trickster" is as his moniker.
