Reaper
“From Overwatch co-founder to living wraith — what betrayal and hatred can do to a person.”
Each kill drops a Soul Orb that restores his health. The more he fights, the harder he is to put down.
Teleports through shadow to any chosen location — the tool that makes his close-range ambush style possible.
Turns invulnerable and speeds up, with a full reload on exit — the escape hatch that keeps him alive when cornered.
Fires in all directions at once — devastating against grouped enemies, and the ability that defines his ultimate-threat identity.
A case study in what betrayal can do to a person. He started as an Overwatch idealist and ended up as something that barely qualifies as alive, driven only by revenge. The dark humor behind the edgy exterior is what makes the fandom fond of him — but his arc is genuinely tragic.
