Ana Amari
Every Overwatch Character’s Backstory
The mother of Pharah, Ana was one of the founding members of Overwatch and one of the world’s deadliest snipers. Every time she killed someone with her rifle, she added another notch, and each life she took weighed on her conscience. She’s said to have inspired confidence and loyalty among her friends, and growing up, Pharah had a desire to join her mother in the field, despite her mother’s wishes. Ana served as Jack Morrison’s second in command, and was in active duty until she reached her 50’s, presumed dead after an encounter with Widowmaker.
In actuality, she survived their fight, but lost her right eye. The injury made her rethink her life and helped her decide to stay out of the world’s conflicts. But she couldn’t sit by and do nothing, so she became a bounty hunter for the sole purpose of interrupting Talon operations in Egypt. Her jobs eventually led her to reunite with Reaper and Morrison (she was disturbed by the former’s new appearance), and while she didn’t care about the war the two men were fighting for, she told Jack she would always watch over him.
