Deadfire is Reactive - His appearance changes by outliving other players or dealing damage to players and AIs. He and his cosmetics - Shackled Stone and Dark Shard received the Ghost style in Update v14.50.
With a pistol in his hand and some undead magic on his side, Deadfire patrols the plains to keep them free of evil. Prove yourself as a gunslinger and he'll be your ally for (after)life.
It's time to take 'em out, partner.
Well, that's one less outlaw roaming the land.

Trivia
Deadfire's ID is CID_250_Athena_Commando_M_EvilCowboy.
Deadfire's early codename seems to have been BadassCowboy before being ultimately changed to EvilCowboy. This suggests that Deadfire's connection to the Cube wasn't planned at first.
The Epic Games Gliders Developer Video[1] showcases a prototype of Deadfire's Dark Engine Glider, confirmed to be the reserved BadassCowboyLocomotive Glider.
Both the Longhorn and Prickly Axe use the codename BadassCowboy, and are western themed. Longhorn was notably added into the files for the first time during Season 6, when Deadfire was released.
