Talon Founder/Leader (Currently)

The Conspiracy Founder/Leader (Currently)

## Summary:

Andrew Varidos was an American boy with an immense IQ. Having graduated college from a young age, he quickly began to climb the social ladder and make many breakthroughs in the scientific community. What people don't know is that he is the founder of both Talon and The Conspiracy. He has very big plans for the future and is willing to make sure they are accomplished no matter what.

## Appearance:

Varidos is a man of an average build with a Caucasian complexion. He has black hair, and hazel grey eyes. As a child he wore rags and never had the chance to wear any real clothes. As an adult, fighting in the army, this is much different. He a standard uniform, boots, and equipment. After this and becoming an android, he wears a white dress shirt, a black vest, black dress pants, and dress shoes. When revealed that he is an Omnic, his build seems much stronger than others. The light pattern on his head is in the shape of a circle with the lights themselves being diamond shaped.

## Personality:

Andrew Varidos was a very shy, yet incredibly intelligent child. He attempted to see the best in everyone and was willing to give them a second chance, even if they didn't deserve it. Despite this, it became increasingly clear that not everyone is worth redeeming. During the war, Varidos gladly sought ways to end the war quickly without too much bloodshed. However, his superiors regarded this as unacceptable and forced him to create lethal weapons. As Varidos grew up, he realized that everyone was the same: shallow, cruel, vindictive, and irredeemable.

It was these factors that had finally pushed him over the edge. Having learned so much about humanity and how it will never learn from its mistakes, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Once his morals were thrown away, he became a completely different person. He cared little for humans, not even regarding them as such. He cared so little that he willingly betrayed humans to work with Null Sector. When Null Sector had begun to ask what to do with any human survivors, Varidos simply said "What survivors." Ironically, it was humanity's own influence that had transformed him into the own thing he never wanted to be: a monster.

## Backstory:

Having been born to a poor American family, Varidos was put up for adoption, unable to be taken care of. While at the orphanage, Andrew was constantly picked on by the others and told that no one, not even his own parents wanted him. When he was finally adopted, it was worse than the orphanage. Instead of being given to a caring, loving family, Andrew was given to a harsh, abusive Omnic family. He was constantly abused at both home and school for being related to them. Since he was technically an Omnic, he didn't have the same rights as everyone else. He was able to enter a college at a young age and there he met Angela Ziegler. Upon working together, Varidos and Ziegler realized how brilliant either one was. They had began dating for a few months and exchanging ideas and research together. However, Ziegler began to realize that Varidos was a little to extreme and had different views on how to help the world. Eventually Varidos had asked Ziegler to marry him, saying that she was just what needed in his life, a forever companion, to keep him happy. While touched Ziegler realized that she simply couldn't out of fear for what could happen to him. With a heavy heart she refused his proposal. Later that night, Varidos vowed that he would never love anyone or thing again.

A few years later, and the Omnic conflict had started. Varidos was forced to sign up by his family. Many years had gone by during the war and Varidos regretted every second of having to kill, yet he found it oddly calming. When returning from a mission, Varidos and his group were ambushed by Null Sector. When Varidos had woken up he felt as though his head was about to explode. Null Sector surgeons had mentioned that though the damage was extensive and not intended they were able to save him by implanting their own technology into him. Later, the Null Sector leader entered and requested to talk to Varidos alone. He said that he knew a lot about Varidos and wanted his expertise to help them win the war. He stated that Varidos would be treated better than he ever was back home. Enticed by the offer, Varidos agreed.

Varidos was then made a general, and head researcher of Null Sector's projects. He eventually, saw some of his old squadmates and they had requested to vouch for them to be free. He had ignored their pleas however, and gave the order to open fire. Despite, helping Null Sector with the constant research and weapons, he realized that they were constantly destroyed and delayed due to Overwatch's intervention. When the war ended, Varidos went into hiding and destroyed any evidence linking him to Null Sector. After his return, he began to create his own company to help fund his agenda. With his resources he was able to create Talon, a group that hires mercenaries or veterans to help him make a better world.

He had also approved of the many experiments and engineering done to Talon members to make them better While he had done this, he also grown paranoid and had to keep tabs on those he viewed as enemies. This led to the creation of The Conspiracy, a massive net of information and links to almost everything Varidos currently knew of. One day after learning that the website was hacked, Varidos had terminated the tracing signal. He had learned that it was Sombra that had done it and was thoroughly impressed with her skills, eventually inviting her to join him. This was not out of kindness but rather, to keep a close eye on her.
