Currently the target of an international manhunt, the vigilante known as Soldier 76 wages a personal war to expose the truth behind Overwatch's collapse.
Soldier 76 revealed himself in a string of attacks that crisscrossed the globe, targeting financial institutions, shadowy corporations, and secure Overwatch facilities. Though to the outside world his motives are inscrutable, there are those who claim that he is a former Overwatch agent, determined to shed light on the conspiracy that brought down the organization.
Soldier 76 displays a grouchy and serious demeanor, occasionally grumbling about his old age. He doesn't play by the same fighting rules that he used to, according to himself, and insults his opponents by saying they've "got a lot to learn". Ever since the clash at the Swiss Headquarters took place, Soldier: 76 has become obsessed with bringing criminals to justice, usually taking extreme measures to hunt them down. Although he sees no point in bringing back Overwatch to combat the Second Omnic Crisis, he still misses being able to fight alongside them, as revealed by his quotes when in Watchpoint: Gibraltar.

== Trivia ==
* A Soldier 76 portrait is available in StarCraft II for those who purchase the Origins Edition.
* "Dad Soldier 76" is a popular fan reinterpretation of the character, depicting him as an individual struggling to control children (younger versions of Overwatch characters). Tatasciore himself is reciprocal to the meme, stating "he's definitely a father figure...I totally get it. I see him as that too, and that's one of the most moving parts of him. Even if you're a soldier on his team, he's going to try and teach you. Even if you're fighting him, he'll say, "You got to learn differently." He is a protector, and he will watch over everyone, and he's trying."
* As of September 2016, Soldier 76 is the most widely played hero in the game.
* His Commando 76 and Night Ops 76 skins list his religion as Catholic on the dog tags, which is notably the first reference to a real-world religion in Overwatch.
* Soldier 76 is the second LGBT hero in the game, after Tracer. This was revealed in the short story Bastet, and later confirmed in a Tweet from Michael Chu, the lead writer.
* Soldier 76 is the only hero from the original game to never have his age explicitly confirmed. Despite this, it can still be narrowed down thanks to additional information. Due to Morrison claiming to have joined the military after the Omnic Crisis broke out, with it also being mentioned that he joined at the first opportunity once he turned eighteen, it can obviously be assumed he was around 18 when the crisis first broke out. Roughly 30 years have passed since the crisis broke out, which would make Morrison around 48 during the time of the first game, give or take a few years.
* Soldier 76 appears as a skin for Raynor in Heroes of the Storm.
* Solider 76's two quotes "Smells like Victory" and "I love the smell of Pulse Munitions in the morning" are both references to the 1979 psychological war drama film Apocalypse Now.
* Soldier 76 is the player character when introduced in Overwatch tutorial level.
