Reinhardt Wilhelm

Recommended Videos

Originally part of the first strike team assembled to end the Omnic Crisis, Reinhardt Wilhelm was one of the biggest champions of the organization once it got into full swing. This made him its most vocal supporter and harshest critic. He lives by a knightly code of justice and honor, hence his armor making him look like a knight. He’s also a huge fan of David Hasselhoff’s music.

As Reinhardt got older, he had to retire because of requirements. He did so reluctantly, and had to watch as Overwatch became more embroiled in controversy of suspicion and corruption. After it was disbanded, Reinhardt kept his armor and fought for justice across Europe. Coming along for the ride was his trusty mechanic Brigitte, and they’ve been making the continent a better place ever since.
