Ariadne: George Adler was to be Doctor Babylon’s prized lieutenant. Talon's  science-boss recruited the American computer genius to outshine Nero Iscariot.

Bertuccio is notoriously loyal to the Count, often acting as his right-hand man the majority of the time, if not all the time, and acting as his personal bodyguard and messenger. Proper and polite, Bertuccio usually addresses certain people with "madame" or "monsieur" and he normally speaks calmly. However, it is this unwavering loyalty to the Count that makes him the most sinister of the Count's cohorts. While Bertuccio is not shown to be an expert fencer like Baptistin and the Count, he is still extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. His main weapon, however, is a gun. Bertuccio is also very skilled with technology, implying that he may be the Count's technical expert.

The others were locked away in prison. 
== Members ==
Ashe: full name Elizabeth Caledonia "Calamity" Ashe, is an American gunslinger and leader of the Deadlock Gang, Born into a wealthy family with connections to the world's top CEOs, Ashe was largely neglected by her parents and left in the care of their omnic butler, B.O.B. She was regularly involved in fights at school, and also in petty crime. It was a chance meeting with a local ruffian named Jesse McCree, a string of crimes they committed together, and a desire to make her own "family" that led her to embrace the path of the outlaw, and she was one of the four original founders of the Deadlock Gang. Spurred by Ashe's increasingly larger heists, the Deadlock Gang's quick rise to prominence resulted in violent conflicts with the other criminal organizations in the American Southwest. After years of fighting, Ashe summoned the heads of the other major groups and used her business acumen, learned from her mostly-absent parents, to convince them that they could work better, if not together, then at least not against one another, so long as they kept their word, did not work with law enforcement, respected one another's territory, and punished any sort of betrayal. No longer having to focus on squabbles with other gangs, Ashe continued to build on her reputation, earning her a place at the top of the authorities' most wanted lists. voiced by veteran voice actress Jennifer Hale.
B.O.B.:  Elizabeth Ashe's loyal, lifelong omnic butler and bodyguard. B.O.B. was the butler of Elizabeth Ashe's family.

He was there when she partook in target shooting on the family estate, and was there when Ashe was released from prison. Likewise, when Ashe founded the Deadlock Gang, {B.O.B. remained at her side and partook in heists himself.

The effects of the radiation awakened a sense of madness which soon developed into pyromania. In the heart of the destroyed omnium, Junkrat found a valuable secret, making him the target of bounty hunters and rival gangs. He made a deal with the Junker enforcer Roadhog, who agreed to become his personal bodyguard in return for a 50-50 share of the profits from their finds. His loud personality often drives him into trouble, one of them is by blowing away their deception when attempting a Trojan-horse plan to get revenge on the Queen of Junkertown after banishing him and Roadhog from her dominion. voiced by Chris Parson.

Mako and other angry humans formed the Australian Liberation Front to strike against the omnium and the omnics that resided around it. In the end, the ALF overloaded the fusion core, destroying the omnium and turning the Outback into a radioactive wasteland, severely disfiguring Mako's face. Mako donned a mask and took to the broken highways on his chopper, forsaking his humanity little by little until he became a ruthless killer. He has since joined up with Junkrat as his bodyguard, in exchange for half of whatever treasure the ex-Junker knows the location of. voiced by Josh Petersdorf.

He intended to use it as the means of preserving world balance, and his first action on the way to achieving it was destruction of Boklovo, the capital of Kurjikstan, which he considered an unstable, unpredictable and dangerous player on the global stage. His plans, however, were thwarted by Torbjörn Lindholm who snuck inside the giant mech and defeated its pilot.
Hakim: a criminal with ties to Talon who operates out of a compound in Giza, Egypt.
General Fernand de Morcerf: a commoner who through his alleged military exploits (as well as influence by Prosecutor de Villefort and Baron Danglars) became a candidate for president. He is the father of Albert and the husband of Mercedes. In his younger days, he and Edmond were best friends, and he fell in love with Mercedes. When he realized Edmond and Mercedes loved each other, he became cruel and distant towards Edmond. He was formerly friends with Edmond until he and his two partners framed him and sent him to Chateau d'Ief. He is one of the main objects of the Count's revenge. During The Omnic Crisis he betrayed a sulta, ultimately leading to the later man's death and Fernand's gain of his fortune.
== Recurring characters ==
Hanzo: the elder brother of Genji, and the heir to the head of the Shimada clan. He was trained from an early age to take over the clan, becoming a skilled warrior and marksman, as well as a strategist. When his father died, Hanzo was directed by the clan elders to bring Genji into line; and when Genji refused, the two brothers battled, resulting in what appeared to be Genji's death. Guilty and grief-stricken, Hanzo abandoned the clan and travelled the world in an effort to restore his honor. voiced by Paul Nakauchi.
Symmetra: an Indian architect. he Vishkar Corporation, based in southern India, created hard light technology that allowed it to build cities, and trained its elite architects to bend the hard light into any shape needed for that purpose; with this technology, they built the city of Utopaea to serve as their base. Satya Vaswani's potential was discovered at a young age, and she was taken from a life of poverty to train at Vishkar's architect academy in Utopaea. Becoming one of the top students in her class, she combined the light-bending technology with the traditional dances of her homeland. Given the name "Symmetra", Vishkar dispatched her on clandestine missions around the world to oversee their corporate interests. voiced by Anjali Bhimani.
Zenyatta: an omnic monk and wanderer. Zenyatta belonged to the Shambali, an order of omnic monks that had settled in a monastery deep within the Himalayas in northern Nepal, after experiencing a "spiritual awakening" that led them to believe that, like humans, omnics also possessed a soul. Their leader, Tekhartha Mondatta, sought to heal the breach between humans and omnics and bring them into societal harmony through the spreading of their peaceful message in public rallies (one of which resulted in Mondatta's assassination by Widowmaker in London). Zenyatta disagreed with this approach, believing that only directly engaging humans and connecting with them person-to-person will bridge the divide between man and machine. He left the Shambali monastery and wandered the world, seeking to help those he meets find inner peace (such as his encounter with the cyborg warrior Genji). He made Genji, a cyborg, more relaxed and made him understand the purpose of his metallic body. voiced by Feodor Chin.
Athena: Winston's personal artificial intelligence. voiced by Evelyn Duah.
D.Va: a South Korean mecha pilot and former pro gamer from Busan. To protect its cities against a massive omnic that rose from the East China Sea, the South Korean army developed automated battle mechs, deployed in a task force named MEKA (Mobile Exo-force of the Korean Army). As the omnic learned from its battles with the South Korean military, it disrupted the mechs' drone-control abilities, forcing the army to turn to human pilots. They elected to recruit professional gamers, who they believed possessed the necessary skills to pilot their mechs. Hana Song was the reigning StarCraft II world champion at the time, with a reputation for playing to win at all costs and showing no mercy to her opponents. She has since become a global icon, streaming footage of her combat missions. voiced by Charlet Chung.
Balderich von Adler: Colonel Balderich von Adler was the commander of the Crusaders, a German paramilitary unit composed of armored warriors with rocket hammers and hard-light shields that served as support to the Bundeswehr, the regular German military. Balderich was approached by Overwatch to become one of its founding members during the Omnic Crisis, but was forced to lead a defense against an army of Bastions in his home village of Eichenwalde, in the Black Forest near Stuttgart. It was during this battle that the omnics unleashed the OR14 (a progenitor to the OR15 on which Orisa is based), which overwhelmed the Crusaders and their army comrades. Trapped in Eichenwalde Castle with his friend and lieutenant Reinhardt Wilhelm, Balderich intended to stand his ground, sending Reinhardt to protect the other troops, and giving him his Overwatch initiation medal. Armed with both his and Reinhardt's rocket hammers, Balderich held the line inside Eichenwalde Castle before collapsing into the throne in the great hall and dying from his injuries. voiced by Michael Piatt.
Dae-hyun: a MEKA mechanic assigned to D.Va and a childhood friend of hers. He and D.Va have been working together in the MEKA unit. voiced by Johnny Young.
Efi Oladele: an 11-year-old scientist and inventor from the in-universe region of Numbani. After her parents gave her a robotic kit, she became interested in robotics and artificial intelligence. She witnessed Doomfist's attack on Numbani, which damaged several OR15 defensive Omnics, and was inspired to use her skills to create Orisa from one of the damaged units.
Katya Volskaya: the CEO and head of the Volskaya Industries, a robotic company with the purpose of ending the lives of the Omnic. she was subject to an assassination by Sombra, Reaper and Widowmaker. However, Sombra hacks the alarms and puts the events into motion that ensures her safety. It is then revealed by Sombra, when she confronts Volskaya, that she has information that the technology she uses in her mechs was actually Omnic to start. Sombra blackmails Katya and in return, she is kept alive. voiced by Gulmira Mamedova.
Tekhartha Mondatta: an omnic monk and leader of the Shambali. In the years following the Omnic Crisis, Mondatta and a group of other omnics abandoned their pre-programmed lives and settled in a communal monastery in Nepal, where they meditated on the nature of existence and came to believe that they were more than just "artificial"—they possessed their own souls, just as humans did. Mondatta was a leader in advocating peace between humans and omnics and healing the wounds following the Omnic Crisis, and travelled the world spreading his message. Mondatta was assassinated by Widowmaker during a rally in London, despite heavy security and the efforts of Tracer. In the King's Row map, a statue of him holding the hand of a human child stands near the spot where he was killed. voiced by Sendhil Ramamurthy.
Dr. Harold Winston: the chief scientist of the Horizon Lunar Colony, a research base on the Moon where a group of genetically engineered gorillas resided to test the long-term effects of living in space. Harold took a special interest in one young gorilla who showed a great curiosity for the world around him, beginning with stealing Harold's glasses because he thought there would be more to see. Showing the young gorilla a view of Earth, Harold gave him a piece of advice he remembered years later: "Never accept the world as it appears to be. Dare to see it for what it could be." When the other gorillas on the moon base rebelled, Harold and the other human scientists were killed; his prodigy took his name "Winston" to honor his fallen mentor, and escaped to Earth in a scratch-built rocket. Winston also kept Harold's glasses, as well as a photograph of the two of them at the Horizon colony. voiced by Greg Chun.

Sojiro Shimada: Sojiro was the family head and crime boss of the Shimada Clan, a powerful underworld organization dealing in arms, illegal substances, and assassination. He was once approached by Talon, hoping to recruit him, but he refused, finding that their aims did not coincide with his own. While his eldest son, Hanzo, was groomed to take over as leader of the clan, Sojiro spoiled his youngest son, Genji, who ignored the family business and engaged in frivolous pursuits. This unfortunately led to tragedy following Sojiro's death, as the other clan elders provoked a near-fatal confrontation between the two brothers that ultimately resulted in Hanzo deserting the clan and Genji destroying it.
Bastion: a combat robot-turned-explorer. Bastion is a SST Laboratories Siege Automaton E54, a battle automaton originally designed for peacekeeping purposes; during the Omnic Crisis, they were deployed against their human makers becoming a symbol of the horrors of the war. Bastion was severely damaged in the field during the final days of the war, and was left dormant and exposed to the elements. For more than a decade, it became overgrown with plant life and the nests of small animals, until it unexpectedly reactivated. It had developed a fascination with nature, but its combat programming still took over whenever it encountered anything it perceived as a threat. Due to conflicts with fearful humans, Bastion largely avoids populated areas in favor of exploring the wild. It is usually accompanied by a small bird named Ganymede, who was building a nest on it when it reactivated, and both humanizes Bastion and makes it relatable. voiced by Chris Metzen.

It was here that the leader of the Crusaders, Balderich von Adler, and a handful of his best soldiers, including his pupil, Reinhardt Wilhelm, made a last stand against an advancing automaton army. Since Eichenwalde was in the way of a larger omnic advance to Stuttgart, the town was evacuated on October 11, from 3 to 8 o'clock. Outnumbered and outgunned, almost all Crusaders were slain during the resulting combat, including the organizations leader. However, thanks to their valiant efforts, the German military was able to push back the omnic offensive and win the fight. In the present day, Eichenwalde lies abandoned, and the forest has slowly begun overtaking the village.
