Every Overwatch Character’s Backstory

Torbjörn

The 57 year-old weapons designer from Sweden was recruited to join Overwatch during the Omnic Crisis. His weapons are said to be among the most advanced in the world, and were essential to the organization’s weapons systems.

Many of his weapons were either hidden or stolen after Overwatch disbanded. Determined to stop the weapons from falling into the wrong hands (read: Talon) and wreaking havoc on the innocent, Torbjörn has been working to recover what he’s lost.
