## Backstory

Judy Yvette Gawel was raised in a working class town and she joined the British army when she turned 20 after being inspired by Jack Morrison, the leader of Overwatch. After 9 weeks of training she was classed as the best pupil and was placed with The Ghost Blades, a high ranking millitary group however she wasn't initially respected because she was the first and only female member of the 6 soldiers.

She managed to earn some respect after defeating a soldier who spanked her at a bar and then defeating 3 of his friends who tried to attack her for fighting their friend. After 2 years of successful missions which were mainly raids, fighting rebels, assault, capture, etc. 2 members of The Ghost Blades mysteriously disappeared after 3 years of service, Jude's final mission was to work on the docks and destroy enemy boats.

After destroying several boats, she closely looked through the scope and realised the ships were full of human and Omnic refugees, she demanded answers from Tony who told her that the Ghost Blades were in fact a personal millitia employed by the prime minister to destroy Omnic threats or Omnic sympathisers. Tony also told her that he killed the 2 missing members because they were about the reveal the truth of their actions.  After this conversation, all but one large boat was destroyed and Tony planned to execute Jude because of her growing distrust and recent knowledge. Jude only requested a fight to the death, Tony complied and 2 soldiers climbed up the crane in order to get a better shot of the final boat. During Jude's fight with Tony, one of the ground soldiers was killed by an Omnic who survived one of their previous missions. The Omnic soon climbed to the top of the crane and fought the two soldiers who stood there. (This caused cargo containers to drop on to the ground around Jude and Tony as well as cause the crane to spin out of control).

After gaining control of the crane, Jude finnished the fight with Tony by shooting him in both of his kneecaps, while Tony was mid-cursing at Jude and taunting her about stopping the prime minister, Tony was finally killed when the Omnic dropped a cargo container onto him. After resting for a few moments, the Omnic gave her a recording of Tony's speech about the truth of their missions. Days later she sneaked into the office of prime minister Jacob Ciacco and interrogated him. Jacob responded nihilistically and arrogantly by saying that as long as the tensions are high then he can stay in power and if a war does start then he can rebuild the british empire with a stronger society. Suddenly Jacob pulled out a revolver and shot Jude in the head after his speech. Believing that he had killed her, he tried to call security to say that he had to kill a potential assassin but his phonecall suddenly ended after realising that Jude was on the other side of the phone. He looked at the body and realised that she was actually a hard light copy of Judy who winked at Jacob before disappearing as Jacob started having a mental breakdown.

A month later Jacob was arrested for his crimes and Jude discovered that Jacob was on the Talon payroll. Realising the bigger picture, she faked her death and went into hiding, vowing to stay out of trouble and millitary activity in order to protect her family, but old habits die hard.
