## Backstory

Watson Keane never had the easiest upbringing, he born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is a genetic condition that made his bones weak and easy to break. Watson developed a nihilistic view of life and became an atheist because he believed that no god would someone to suffer like him. When he was older he became a successful butcher however after ten years of success, he lost his job to an Omnic. Bitter about losing his job, he volunteered for millitary experimentation under blackwatch supervision.

The head doctor Moira increased the density of his bones, making them unbreakable. Not only that, Cyrus developed incredible strength, stamina and his skin became more durable and regenerative. Feeling like a new man, Cyrus joined Blackwatch without hesitation and became their most dangerous soldier. When Overwatch disbanded, Cyrus became a mercenary and underground fighter until he was invited to join Talon, which he joined immediately.

When Winston sent out his recall signal, Cyrus was ordered to execute Reinhardt, which he happily aggreed to. When Reinhardt and Brigitte had finnished visiting Balerich, Cyrus attacked the pair when they were at the van and being questioned by Athena (who was sent by Winston). Cyrus tackled Reinhardt to the ground and a destructive fight ensued and lead them to the bridge outside of the castle. While the pair fought, Athena lept onto Cyrus (Winston didn't equip her with weapons yet) but her punches did little to him. Cyrus was able to get Athena into a headlock and was able to rip her head off and throw it at the ground. Reinhardt was enraged and tried to charge at him but Cyrus overpowered him and began to strangle him.

Suddenly, Cyrus was hit in the face by Brigitte who was wearing the Crusader armor (via extentions), Cyrus was only able to succeed in knocking off the helmet. In a final attack Cyrus charged at Brigitte but she swung the hammer at Cyrus' chin with enough force to send him flying off of the bridge. Failing his mission, Cyrus vowed to destroy Overwatch and destroy Reinhardt and Brigitte.
