History Characters / OverwatchNonPlayableCharacters

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Girl And Her X]]: She and Orisa have this dynamic. ''The Hero of Numbani'' especially highlights the kinship between the two, and how both of them help each other grow as people; Orisa growing from a rigid, inexperienced enforcer to a compassionate hero, and Efi growing past her insecurities into leading Numbani into a safer, brighter future.

->'''Voiced by:''' Siho Ellsmore (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Barbara Kelsch (French), Yolanda Pérez Segoviano (European Spanish), Olga Omeljaniec (Polish), Betzabé Jara (Latin American Spanish)[[/note]]
\\
The ruler of Junkertown, home of Australia criminals and Ne'er do wells.

* AnimeHair: A braid and some spikes that would put Tracer to shame.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Possibly what led to her becoming "queen" of Junkertown in the first place, since she's a former mech fighter.
* AwesomeAussie: Queen of her own town in the Australian Outback.
* AnAxeToGrind: Carries what appears to be an axe over her shoulder in her poster.
* BadassBoast: Pretty much her entire speech in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcPDd16_9dI teaser video]] for the Junkertown map.
* BareYourMidriff: Her attire includes a belly shirt that rests just above her navel.
* BoobsOfSteel: Within Junkertown anyway; she's the Queen, and she's very well endowed.
* BladeOnAStick: Has a harpoon and some sort of saw-halberd on display next to her throne.
* CleavageWindow: Her poster depicts a prominent one.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a low and gravelly voice.
* DareToBeBadass: Tells the listeners to her speech to step into the scrapyard.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She is only referred to as "The Queen", her real name is never mentioned.
* FantasticRacism: Like the rest of the Outback, she doesn't like Omnics due to the role they played in turning Australia into a heavily irradiated wasteland.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She's the slum lord for the entirety of the irradiated Australian wastelands, carefully hoarding much of the food and water in Junkertown thereby forcing those in the area to gravitate towards her domain and thus be subject to her whims and taxes. She also has little sympathy for her fellow Omnic Crisis veterans, frequently extorting Bruce to supply her with Hogdrogen as well as having a loose, open bounty on Roadhog's head.
* PsychoSerum: She uses Hogdrogen to boost the strength and ferocity of her minions.
* RousingSpeech: Mixes this trope with DareToBeBadass and BadassBoast mentioned above:
-->'''Queen of Junkertown:''' Listen up, you wretched scum! I see your struggles, trying to survive in the wasteland! It's time to face the facts: the end of the world's come and gone! Your past lives are a dream! It's time you ''woke up!'' They thought they could take our land and give it to the machines! They were wrong! ''We'' won the war, and now we reap the spoils! We built a new world from the ashes! So step into the scrapyard! No rules, no mercy, only the strong survive! This is your queen - welcome to the apocalypse!
* SitcomArchNemesis: The Queen and Junkrat really don't like each other. The entirety of the "Junkertown: The Plan" consisted of Junkrat thinking of how to get back at her for kicking him (and Roadhog) out of Junkertown... because they robbed her and blew up her house.
%%* SpikesOfVillainy: How villainous she is isn't clear, but she's got a fair few spikes on her clothes.
* TribalFacePaint: She seems to have this, though it's unclear whether or not it's Aboriginal.

[[folder:Vernand Sainclair - ''Haiti'']]
!!Vernand Sainclair
!!!'''Appearances (short stories):''' "What You Left Behind"

A former handler of Overwatch, current owner of Sainclair Pharmaceuticals, and secretly a longtime associate to Talon.

* BlackmailBackfire: Once Baptiste, Mauga, and the Talon squad corner him with an inch of his life, he attempts to bribe them all with pertinent information: Winston's recall message, informing them that Overwatch was reuniting. This completely fails because EverybodyKnewAlready -- as Nguyen pointed out, Sainclair wasn't the only former Overwatch agent on Talon's current payroll.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: To a degree that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Talon is quite disgusted with]] -- Sainclair Pharmaceuticals holds a monopoly over Haiti's pharmaceutical supply, and the man behind it has taken gross advantage of the high profits by further ratcheting up the prices at expense of the welfare of Haiti's citizens. Only time will tell if Baptiste's pressure to reform his practices (supplying every clinic in the country free of charge) ends up sticking.
* TheMole: He ended up secretly colluding with Talon even while he was still working with Overwatch, feeding them inside information that ensured Talon had a persistent edge over the organization.
* NonActionGuy: He explicitly never worked in the field while in Overwatch, and was simply a handler working behind-the-scenes.
* SaveTheVillain: Despite ''really'' wanting to for a moment, Baptiste decides against murdering Sainclair in cold blood and instead rescues him from the rest of the Talon squad. Sainclair doesn't get off scot-free, though -- in exchange for a safe escape, Baptiste requests his information on Overwatch ''and'' making it so his pharmaceutical company begins supplying every clinic in Haiti free of charge, [[{{Blackmail}} otherwise he'll let Talon know where he's hiding]].
* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He colluded with Talon during his time in Overwatch, seeing that Overwatch was already in a losing battle with itself and selling out information that would give Talon an advantage in their war for a personal profit. Even Mauga -- himself working for Talon -- [[EvenEvilHasStandards is appalled by this level of betrayal]]. To a lesser extent, the reason why he and the rest of Talon were coming close to assassinating him is because Sainclair Pharmaceuticals owed a share of profits to Talon, and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive he stopped paying them even as prices and profits increased]].
* VillainHasAPoint: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive A grossly predatory capitalist at heart to be sure]], but Sainclair was on the pulse of Overwatch's corruption and eventual fate. Him [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil taking advantage of his position by selling them out to Talon and accelerating their doom]] sure won't win him any heroism points, but he was correct in assuming that Overwatch had taken him for granted, and figured their deeper systemic problems would cause their collapse ''eventually''.

[[folder:Sam - ''Canada'']]
!!Sam
!!!'''Appearances (comics):''' ''"Reflections"''
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_6.jpg]]

Ana's husband and Pharah's father.

* FirstNameBasis: For whatever reason, while Pharah calls Ana "mum," she simply calls her dad "Sam."
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Apparently, he doesn't know that Ana's still around, and Pharah questions her about this (though keep in mind, canonically, Pharah apparently isn't aware of Ana being alive either):
-->'''Pharah:''' Mum, don't you think it's time you told Sam you're alive?\\
'''Ana:''' You let me worry about what your father needs to know.
* NonActionGuy: Ana and Pharah never bringing him up in the battle-context of Overwatch even in the former’s Origin Story video suggests that he’s not a soldier or fighter. Confirmed by Michael Chu that Pharah was supposed to be a child of a soldier (Ana) and "another kind of public servant".
* UnknownCharacter: Barely anything is known about him other than that he appears to be of Pacific Northwest-area First Nation descent, he’s a Canadian citizen, and his relation to our Amari heroines. His name wasn’t even revealed until WordOfGod revealed it, though it was later namedropped in an interaction between Pharah and Ana.

* AdultFear: The very thought of both boys being left unsupervised in a museum exhibit that Reaper and Widowmaker just happened to target because it contained the gauntlet worn by a Talon leader (Doomfist) can run chills through any parent. Especially so since Widowmaker and especially Reaper have no qualms about harming kids...

* AdultFear: It's one thing to worry about being blackmailed. It's another thing entirely to worry about ''your own daughter'' indirectly getting caught up in the scandal.

A commanding officer of Overwatch. she is first introduced in ''Storm Rising'', providing recon to the Strike team in Havana.
----
* ArmCannon: She's able to turn her left arm into some kind of cannon.
* AscendedExtra: For many years, she was an insignificant background character making unnamed background appearances in images depicting pre-disbandment Overwatch. ''Storm Rising'' finally named her, established her role in Overwatch, and made her the MissionControl, and not only is she set to be PromotedToPlayable in ''Overwatch 2'', she's also "right at the center of the story" and a major team player in Winston's reformed team.
* TheCaptain: Steps up to the plate after Ana's mysterious 'death'.
* {{Cyborg}}: All of her limbs are cybernetic, featuring not only a cannon in each of her arms, but additional rocket boosters in her elbows, knees, and calves. Unlike Genji, she doesn't have any particular angst about this, and during one interaction in ''Storm Rising'', she reassures him that even with his extensive cybernetics, he's still Genji.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's a black woman with white hair, though Ana's origin trailer and her own origin trailer shows she used to have more natural dark hair.
* FamedInStory: To what degree relative to over former members of Overwatch is unknown, but in ''The Hero of Numbani'', Efi watches [[ShowWithinAShow a cartoon loosely based on the organization]], and the episode centers around Sojourn and her squad fighting against Talon forces.
* MagneticWeapons: Her main weapon as shown in ''Overwatch 2'' is a railgun that can be charged or used as an automatic weapon.
* MysticalWhiteHair: A mysterious and striking sci-fi variant.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's a black woman with white hair, though Ana's origin trailer shows she used to have more natural dark hair.

!!Sojourn

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Used to a heartbreaking degree. Because Ana doesn't know the full story of how her old friend Amélie became Widowmaker, she assumed that Gérard married a complete bitch who killed him once she was done stringing him along. Widowmaker is ''furious'' once she hears Ana's version of the story.

* BarbarianLonghair: A wild black mane with a SkunkStripe.

* SkunkStripe: He has one in the front of his head.

* BaldOfAwesome: As shown under his helmet.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has bluish-purple hair, seen briefly in Hammond's origin trailer.

He gives Baptiste a knowing look; he and Baptiste became who they are because they needed money or had nowhere else to go, whereas Sainclair ''chose'' to watch Overwatch burn. He follows up with this line:
-->'''Mauga:''' There really are no good people left.
** After learning about Captain Cuerva's death at Baptiste's hands, he casually admits he never liked him.

!!!'''Affiliation:''' Vishkar Corporation, Talon
!!!'''Appearances (shorts):''' ''Moira Origin Story''
!!!'''Appearances (comics):''' "A Better World", "Masquerade" (cameo)
!!!'''Appearances (short stories):''' "Stone By Stone"
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6o1lp41.jpg]]
An employee of Vishkar Corporation that helped in establishing the corporation's domination in Rio de Janeiro. Unlike Symmetra, he's fully committed to Vishkar's extremist methods and has no qualms to do amoral things in the name of the company. He is later revealed to be working for Talon, being part of the council, but the connection between his two jobs is unknown.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: The confirmation that Sanjay is both a Vishkar employee and a member of Talon's Council of Leaders has made it unclear what it amounts to. Whether he's a double agent for Talon, or if Talon and Vishkar have formed a BigBadDuumvirate, or something else entirely, isn't known.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Looks like a completely innocent unassuming young man. He's also a fanatic who is fully willing to blow up a favela full of innocent lives just to secure a contract for Vishkar. And is a Talon leader.
* TheGenericGuy: The Talon leaders look pretty colorful, with the likes of Doomfist, Reaper, Moira and even Maximilien (an Omnic). Sanjay looked really plain and unassuming in comparison. It still doesn't make him any less despicable.
* PetTheDog: [[AmbiguouslyEvil His morality and ulterior goals are very much in question]], but his belief in Symmetra's abilities appear to be genuine. In "Stone By Stone", Symmetra defies his initial proposals of a large Vishkar development to make up for a treasured statue of an omnic icon, and after she spends time getting to know the local religious community and restores it into a new, spiritually-pleasing form, Sanjay is initially confused, but admiring of her work.

* BatterUp: This is what a group of thugs want her to do to a defenseless Omnic, believing they're giving him "what he deserves". She ultimately refuses.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Soldier 76 hugs her to protect her from a grenade that explodes right next to her. He's torn up and visibly shaken, she has not so much as a smudge on her face.
* TheBusCameBack: She reappears in ''Searching'' during Zarya's mission to track down Sombra.

However, he has been accused of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corruption]] after multiple leaks by the mysterious hacker known as "Sombra". Since then, he has been forced to step down from his position as CEO, which he claims is temporary.

Even when he makes an appearance in person in ''Searching'', we never hear his side of the story, so it remains unclear if he was actually involved in something crooked or if he's just the victim of a frame-up for for the sake of her agenda.

* PunnyName: His name is a play on Creator/AlfredHitchcock. It's also a ShoutOut to the glitchy [[AIIsACrapShoot AI]] Hal 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
* RichBitch: A male example: he's incredibly prissy and constantly barks orders from inside his limo during games on the Hollywood map.
* SelfDeprecation:
** He complains that "Cole Cassidy" is [[Film/ShanghaiNoon "a terrible name for a cowboy!"]]
** He asks his escorts (i.e. the Attack team) to tell "that Kaplan kid"[[note]]referring to [[BitingTheHandHumor Jeff Kaplan, the creative director of the game]][[/note]] to stop going for free rides in his golf kart.
* SmallNameBigEgo: The posters in the Attacking team's spawn suggest that Glitchbot mostly directs B-movie schlock, but he has a very high opinion of himself. Amusingly enough, he compares himself to another certain infamous B-movie director:
-->'''Glitchbot:''' Oh I can see the reviews! A visionary director, the likes of which has not been seen since the years of Creator/EdWood!
* TheVoice: He's inside his limo all the time, so players can hear him but not see him.

The CEO of Volskaya Industries who becomes a target of assassination for Talon, who sends out Reaper, Widowmaker, and Sombra to eliminate her.

* AdultFear: It's one thing to worry about being blackmailed. It's another thing entirely to worry about ''your own daughter'' indirectly getting caught up in the scandal.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's not clear if Katya's deals with the Omnics behind her country's back is an example of a CorruptCorporateExecutive who is just playing both sides in order to gain money and influence, or if she is actually a far more benevolent figure who lacks her countrymen's complete hatred of the Omnics and is willing to build bridges for future peace.
* {{Blackmail}}: On the receiving one from Sombra. She's spared, but only if she uses her technology to help Sombra in the future.
* DarkSecret: She is secretly receiving technology from Omnics in order to build the weapons used in the Second Omnic Crisis. Sombra threatens to reveal it to the public, which could ruin her company and reputation in Russia.
* TheStoic: How she kept a cold, steady front when Sombra is "negotiating" with her is notable.
* YouWillBeSpared: Sombra spares her from Reaper and Widowmaker, but at the cost of having to help Sombra with whatever she wishes.

\\
An omnic who led the monks of the Shambali Monastery following the first Omnic Crisis, he preached his message of unity between humans and Omnics across the world. He was killed by Widowmaker during one of his public appearances in King's Row in a bid to incite another war between humans and omnics.

* TheAtoner: Like Zenyatta, he sought to mend the relationship between humans and Omnics after the Omnic Crisis.
* BoomHeadshot: Widowmaker sniped his head section.
* ColorMotif: His Omnic body and clothes are colored white to denote his purity, compassion, and good morals. But in Asian cultures, white means death - he is killed from a headshot at the hands of Widowmaker.
* DueToTheDead: After his death, many of his followers erected a memorial in tribute to him, which can be found in the King's Row map amidst anti-Omnic graffiti.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Like Zenyatta, his eyes are sensors that are always closed.
* GoodShepherd: A benevolent holy (robot) man preaching coexistence between humans and Omnics.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: On the receiving end. Before his ill-fated speech in London, some humans had set up refreshments in his quarters which he obviously couldn't enjoy. He wasn't bothered by it, seeing it as an innocent oversight and a sign of how little humans and omnics are separated, and offered them to Tracer.
* LightIsGood: An Omnic with a white body, wore white clothes, and was a GoodShepherd who worked to insure peace between humans and Omics.
* MeaningfulName: As a robot guru, his title "Tekhartha" combines "technology" with "Siddhartha," the name of the Buddha. His codename during the King's Row speech was also "Halo", which has obvious religions connotations.
* NiceGuy: A peaceful, kind, and honest Omnic. He lost his life speaking out for peace between the humans and the Omnics.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: His design is reminiscent of UsefulNotes/MahatmaGandhi but his character arc more closely resembles [[UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement Martin Luther King, Jr.]]. Both were members of a race that was hated and discriminated against, and were strong advocates of racial equality, with their movements gaining a massive following. Both ultimately died from a sniper's bullet, and both deaths ignited racial tensions. But while the aftermath of King's death was a short and intense period of race riots, Mondatta's death turned King's Row into a racist hellhole for Omnics as racial tensions climbed higher than ever before.
* OddFriendship: Though he and Zenyatta parted ways on how best to help humans and Omnics achieve peace and unity, they never lost their deep and fundamental respect for one another. Zenyatta deeply mourns both his death and the fact that it ultimately led to even more suffering for the Omnics of King's Row.
* ReligiousRobot: The leader of the Shambali Monastery.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Mondatta was a peaceful soul who advocated peace and unity between humans and Omnics alike through his religious teachings. Widowmaker put an end to his efforts with a clean shot. In a variation of this trope, he was too good for the sinful earth, and his death made the area he lived ''even more sinful''.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's shot dead by Widowmaker in the ''Alive'' animated short in what little screentime he had outside of backstory.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okoro.jpg]]

A Omnic member of Pharah's security team sent in to recontain the God Program: Anubis.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes for aiming his weapon at his team before [[HeroicSuicide killing himself]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Goes for the whole team. They knew that God Programs can hijack the minds of Omnics and force them under their control, but noone even thought about having Okoro fall back.
* DyingAsYourself: Anubis tries to take over his systems, even making him briefly aim his gun at his allies. Okoro [[FightingFromTheInside fights back]] and warns his team of the coming ambush, but his eye turns from a friendly yellow to a hostile red, indicating Anubis is winning the fight. Okoro's last act is to turn his weapon upon himself and [[HeroicSuicide blow his CPU out to prevent Anubis from using him as a weapon against his team.]]
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Downplayed. In the comic itself, not much time is spent dwelling on his death, but if both are on the Temple of Anubis map Fareeha and Zenyatta will discuss it.
* RedShirt: He is only around for the first couple of pages, before his HeroicSacrifice. His character is pretty much only there to show how dangerous Anubis is to Omnics (and those near them) that get within its transmission range.
* TokenMinority: He is the only Omnic on Pharah's security team.

* AssholeVictim: Antonio is responsible for the deaths of untold amounts of Overwatch and Blackwatch agents, and is smugly rubbing it in Gabriel's face about how he could escape apprehension no matter what they do. The only reason [=McCree=] objects to Reyes killing him is because it went against the mission objective and attracted unwanted attention, and even then he still felt like Antonio got what he deserved.

** He complains that "Jesse [=McCree=]" is [[Film/ShanghaiNoon "a terrible name for a cowboy!"]]
