MOIRA'S
back story
Moira was an advanced genetic scientists and was trying to recreate (and edit) the fundamental building blocks of human life. About a decade ago she published this article that explained how to create custom genetics. People (mainly overwatch scientists) considered her experiment dangerous because they had no ethics behind them. Some believed that her desire may have triggered the Omnic Crisis (Basically World War 3 but with humans against artificial intelligence called “Omnics” read page 6). In addition other geneticists could not reproduce her results, which caused her career to fall apart. Then a surprising source gave Moira a life line. This source was “BlackWatch” Overwatch's converts team lead by Gabriel Reyes. She continued to work on genetics but in hiding. Blackwatch kept the fact that Moira worked for them a close secret knowing that the public would not approve. Moira continued her studies and developed weapons and even genetically altered some of the Blackwatch agents such as Gabriel Reies and converted him into “Reaper” and the “Widow Maker”. Then overwatch started falling apart. Moira then moved to Oasis which was a city based around science. which was a city based around science. There she became the minister of genetics meaning that she could do whatever the duck she liked. At the time she was being heavily funded by Talon which was basically Blackwatch renewed and more radical. In exchange for the money Talon would use her experiments. Then she decided to join Talon because their ideals coincided. She would go to any length to do her experiments even if it were unethical. Most people saw her as a Bioterrorist but she saw herself as misunderstood (just like every other criminal). Her objective was to make the human race stronger (just like everyone else in Talon) but the way she did this caused controversy making her good and evil at the same time.
