Backstory In Overwatch
- Real Name: Akande Ogundimu, Age: 45
- Occupation: Mercenary
- Base of Operations: Oyo, Nigeria
- Affiliation: Talon
Doomfist is, along with Reaper and a number of unknown villains, one of the leaders of Talon, the evil mercenary company who are pretty much the polar opposite of everything Overwatch Stands for. For a long time, Doomfist was imprisoned, but he’s free now and ready to take his revenge on the world.
Doomfist, who’s real name is Akande Ogundimu, was born into a wealthy Nigerian prosthetics company and studied competitive martial arts, becoming an expert in the craft. Ogundimu lost his right arm in the Omnic Crisis, and while his family helped him recover from his injuries, he was no longer allowed to compete in competitions.
Doomfist isn’t so much as a single character, but the name of an alias to generations of characters. The Doomfist in Overwatch right now is the third iteration, and it was the second Doomfist, Akinjide Adeyemi, that trained him to become a mercenary after he lost his arm. After a time, they joined Talon together, but the organisation saw greater potential in Ogundimu than his master. Ogundimu went on to kill Doomfist #2, taking the weapon and mantle for himself.
After a time commanding Talon forces, Doomfist was taken down by an Overwatch Strike Team fronted by Winston, Tracer, and Genji, and was imprisoned for years. While in prison, he waited, having organised events in the outside world that would eventually come into play. When the time came, he broke out of prison, seized his gauntlet once more and returned to his place in Talon’s leadership circle.
