Pathfinder

"I’m Marvin, but my best friends call me Pathfinder. I love being an Apex Legend because that means my banner is on display for everyone in the Outlands to see, especially my creator whoever they are. Competing alongside so many skilled fighters each match is really cool and it makes me very excited to know that I am everyone’s favorite squadmate to fight with; my friend Mirage told me that. He also said that I don’t get sarcasm, which was also nice to hear...I think."

Pathfinder is a Legend that is free and unlocked in the base game.

Pathfinder is a Legend very useful on movement and rotation. His ability allows you to reach higher places and to tactically reposition while his  and  abilities allow him to support your squad by letting them know the position of the next  ring and provide a zipline on-the-fly to allow quick escapes and to reposition respectively.

Lore
First booted up on February 04, 2658, as part of Project Iris' by "The Group", Pathfinder is a heavily modified MRVN (Mobile Robotic Versatile eNtity), made to assist the Group in their task of refining Branthium. His modifications include, among other things, a chassis with reinforced metal; a specialized heat shield to withstand high temperature; state-of-the-art facial recognition software; customized programming that allowed him to verbalize, as well as access to extensive medical and physics knowledge. This allowed him to perform autonomously the complicated tasks that the human members of Project Iris can't. He was also given an amalgamation of each of his creator's personalities and the capability to learn from experience. After they were able to successfully refine their first batch of Branthium however, Dr. Ashleigh Reed, one of his creators, betrayed the rest of her colleagues, setting off a chain of events that led to the Phase Runner Accident on Olympus.

He then eventually booted up again thirty-three years ago in an abandoned laboratory with no idea who created him or why. With only his MRVN designation to hint at his identity, Pathfinder set off in search of his creator by stowing on merchant ships and traveling everywhere between Solace to Gaea for a couple of years. After one of his legs broke due to someone attempting to steal said leg, he took odd jobs to gain information about his maker and to get the money to fix his leg.

In 2725, while working as a waiter in Malta, he met Victor Maldera who arrested him after inadvertently killing one of the restaurant's customers. Maldera took a look at his logs and saw that Pathfinder was able to witness, and have video evidence, of Alexander Nox's escape from the Humbert Labs. Maldera, who was obsessively pursuing the case, wanted to get a copy of the footage, it was during this that Pathfinder had the first actual clue to one of his creators, a certain Amélie P. The resulting scuffle (due to him witnessing a mafia member murdering another person) had him incapacitated for an unknown amount of time, although he was eventually activated again and promptly resumed his search.

It was during a chance meeting with bartender Elliott Witt in Solace City that he learned about the Apex Games. It has been four years since then, and he has learned a lot from his travels and his experiences in the games, but he was nowhere close to finding his creator than he was before. That was until he found a depreciated MRVN unit on Olympus, and with help from Lifeline, Octane and Gibraltar, find the required battery to power it up. The now-activated MRVN played an audio log that gave Pathfinder more clues about his creator, or creators. With notes from the audio logs on hand he went on a quest to look for answers from his friends, the Legends.

This quest of his drew to an end on Kuben Blisk's office at Syndicate Tower, with the Apex Games Commissioner providing him with the truth about his creators and a photo of them. . However, Blisk's musing about "another one" that was made from his spare parts gave Pathfinder a new purpose: to find his "child".

Trivia

 * Pathfinder's abilities are derived from Titanfall 2's Grapple tactical ability. His interest in high-fives is a reference to a MRVN who would attempt to high-five players on the dropship, only to become sad when it receives none.
 * Pathfinder is one of the only Legends in the game with a hitbox that does not follow the small, large, or medium rigs. Pathfinder was originally on the large rig (like Caustic and Gibraltar), but because he is so skinny, Pathfinder would get hit by bullets that look like they should miss him. As a result, he was given a unique tall but thin hitbox to better match his model. This dramatically increased his win rate and he had to be given to compensate. Pathfinder's hitbox was increased in  and Low Profile was later removed.
 * Pathfinder has many interactions with Bloodhound's raven Artur, who attacks him. In the Launch Trailer, Bloodhound kills Pathfinder "for Artur," which could either be for the raven, or for Bloodhound's late uncle that the raven is named after. Bloodhound and their uncle were from a tribe that spurned technology.
 * Pathfinder is currently the only legend to switch legend classes. Up until, he was originally classified as a Support Legend Icon.svg Support Legend but is now classified as a Legend.
 * When asked if Pathfinder ever had sex, community manager Jay Frechette vaguely (and likely jokingly) replied that Pathfinder has been around for a long time and may have stories. However, writer Tom Casiello tweeted that he disagreed with the idea of Pathfinder being with anyone romantically.
 * Pathfinder is not capable of lying. Originally there was a segment about it for "The Broken Ghost" but it got cut due to length.
 * In the "Family Portrait" comic, Pathfinder goes to a party wearing his File:SRVN MRVN Pathfinder.png skin, making that skin canonical. When it was pointed out that Pathfinder changed his entire body just to go to a party, writer Tom Casiello stated the inclusion of the skin was debated internally. Ultimately, "it's just fun" won over logic and Tom asked people not to dwell on it or overthink it.
 * His first words, according to Pathfinder's Quest, is "Who doesn't like ice cream? Every kid likes ice cream!" The line is likely spoken or influenced by one of his creators Dr. Armen Fletcher who have a love of ice cream. The same line is repeated by Ash during the Broken Ghost quests.
 * According to Blisk, spare parts of Pathfinder is rumored to be used to create another MRVN
