Lucio
Every Overwatch Character’s Backstory
Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Lucio Correia dos Santos is a 26 year-old international celebrity. He began DJing as a way to lift the spirits of those around him in Brazil, after his community was devastated by the financial upheaval following the Omnic Crisis.
And it worked—he performed wherever he could, bringing folks together to bring his community together. However, it wasn’t before long when a multinational corporation barreled into town looking to improve the close-knit Brazilian community. Vishkar took over and began to redevelop portions of the city, while imposing restrictions and exploiting the population that lived there.
Lucio stole a sonic technology that had previously been used by Vishkar to suppress the people, and converted it into a rallying call-to-action. The community joined in, and with Lucio’s help, Vishkar left the area. His music went global, and he became a symbol for positive social change. He travels the world performing at massive arenas, hoping to change the world for the better.
