Private Security/ Bodyguard

Overwatch

## **Gallery Page · Quotes Page**

**Devil Dog** is a playable Hero released in the 2017 ID-10T update for Overwatch. A very troubled man, he is nonetheless a reliable team member, with a solid moral compass, a realistic world view and a sense to do what is right. However, he does tend to feel that the ends justify the means, no matter the cost.

## Summary

Devil Dog is a former Combat Engineer who puts his experience from the Marine Corps to use as an Overwatch commando. His team relies on him to lay down superior firepower and fortify defensive positions, not entirely unlike Torbjorn. Unlike most Defense Characters, Devil Dog excels at heading offenses, setting the front line for his comrades to advance to.

## Appearance

Devil Dog is a tall man in his late thirties. He has black hair kept in a tight crew cut and dull, weary green eyes. He's lean, and well built, though not bulky. He swears he needs to lose weight but his friends tell him not to worry about it.

In combat, Devil Dog wears an olive green tank top under his cammies, black combat boots and an 8-point cap. He wears his brother's dog tags to honor his memory, and his late fiancee's engagement ring is worn on the chain.

in a civilian setting, he usually wears boots, blue jeans, a red graphic tee, leather jacket and ball cap.

## Backstory

Rhett and his brother Colby were both born in Texas to alcoholic parents. Colby fared far better in school and attended an Honor Board boarding school. Rhett unfortunately was left behind, and suffered horribly at the hands of his sadistic parents.

Both Colby and Rhett joined the military at the time the Omnic Crisis hit. Colby joined the Air Force, and Rhett fell in with the Marines. Colby excelled as a pilot and was rapidly promoted to Captain. Rhett, on the other hand, despite having skill, promise and determination, lagged behind and remained stuck as a Corporal.

During a routine mission, Colby's F-35 was shot down over Omnic territory. Rhett, determined to prove he wasn't a failure, volunteered to lead the rescue op to save his brother. The operation was a complete failure, and resulted in Rhett being captured too. Both Rhett and Colby were tortured by the insane Omnic Dethshrid before he brutally killed Colby in front of Rhett.

A large piece of Rhett's soul died that day. For the rest of his life, he blamed the Omnics and himself for his brother's fate. At some point in time, he was hand picked by Gabriel Reyes and recruited into Overwatch in the later years of the Omnic Crisis. To prove his worth, Devil Dog devised and pulled off a solo mission in Ukraine known only as the Skadovsk Job. The mission was a resounding success, Devil Dog single handedly saving numerous hostages and killing several Omnic terrorists leaders. It was also during this mission that Overwatch first heard of the group Talon. After a terrorist attack, Devil Dog accompanied fellow Blackwatch operators to Venice to take out Antonio, serving as the look out/communications expert. During this time, he fell in love with a woman named Trisha, but Dethshrid, who survived swearing to destroy Rhett's life, arranged for her to be assassinated on their wedding day.

After Overwatch's dissolution, Rhett went back to Texas to live largely in seclusion, convinced that the world was not worth saving. He became extremely cynical and depressed, eventually driven to the point that he considered suicide. Just before he jumped off the High 5, however, a Catholic Priest, Father O'Hara stopped him and asked for directions to a church. Rhett knew the location so he led the priest there. Afterwords, O'Hara invited him to share Mass with him. Not long after, Rhett became a Catholic.

Rhett admits his faith is not easy, seeing corruption and pedophilia in the Catholic Church. He saw, however, that O'Hara was a true devout believer, and decided to follow his lead. It was through meditation and prayer that Rhett began his signiture adage, to give the world "One Last Chance".

Despite all of this, however, Rhett remained a very skeptical and cynical individual. He began reading books on philosophy, theology and human psychology, and formed the view that there is hope for the world, but it is very small, and one shouldn't be surprised if it failed.

When the Recall was issued by Winston, Rhett decided he owed it to the world, O'Hara and himself to give humanity another chance, and accepted the invitation.

## Personality and Views

Devil Dog is troubled individual. Due to his abusive past and time in the military, he struggles with PTSD and self hatred. He is cynical and blunt, and does not tolerate whimsies of wishful thinking. He has what he calls, "a hyper realistic sense of the way things are."

Like Mercy, he sees war as evil, but unlike Mercy views it as necessary. Rhett knows better than most people that some people cannot be reasoned or bargained with. Sometimes, violence must be met with violence. He and Mercy have had numerous debates on Peace and War, each making good points that couldn't be countered. For example, when Mercy stated that Nuclear Weapons should have never been made, Rhett points out that they ended the bloodiest war in human history.

Rhett is conservative in his personal and political views. He is a tacit fan of conservative speaker Yilo Miannopolous, and has consistently voted conservative in public elections. He has been accused of being bigoted and unreasonable as such, but there is little to substantiate this. An example would be when Tracer introduced her girlfriend Emily to the crew; Rhett hung back, unwilling to meet her, though this was later explained that Rhett doesn't usually try to get to know people off the bat, because they typically do not last long. He affirms Tracer's right to make her own decisions by saying that Emily "seems like a good gal," and that Tracer is a very lucky woman. Although he holds his own views, his Catholic faith dictates that everyone has free will, and are responsible for their own lives and decisions.

## Relationships

Devil Dog has few friends, most of them in Overwatch.

**Angela "Mercy" Ziegler**- Perhaps of all the relationships Devil Dog has had with Overwatch operatives, his relationship with Mercy is the deepest. When Angela first met Rhett, he was a shell of a man fighting to get over the death of his brother. She gave him counseling, but ended the sessions because he scared her. This would lead to Mercy blaming herself for letting Devil Dog slip further into depression; when she heard his fiancee was murdered and he had tried to jump off the High 5, she was terrified and personally called him to see if he was alright. After Winston issued the Recall, Devil Dog and Mercy were back at it, debating politics, war, peace and every topic in between. Eventually, things came to a dramatic head, and the two of them were forced to admit that they were in love. This has left Rhett scanning the radars more often than normal, for Dethshrid still walks free, and if he gets wind of their relationship, Mercy will not be safe.

**Winston**- Devil Dog respects Winston for his fighting prowess and intelligence, but still has trouble getting over the fact that he is talking to a Gorilla. Winston has great faith in Devil Dog, and has continually pointed out that Devil Dog's refusing to give up on the world is a testament to his unbreakable spirit.

**Lena "Tracer" Oxton**- Devil Dog doesn't smile often. One of the few people who can get him to is Tracer. Tracer views Devil Dog as an older brother, and the feeling is reciprocated. Concerning Tracer's sexual orientation, Devil Dog is a social conservative, but couldn't care less whom Tracer loves, provided that no one gets hurt and she stands by her decisions.

**Jesse McCree**- McCree is one of Devil Dog's closest friends. A shot of whiskey, a couple beers and a good cigar are just a few things they agree on enjoying after another victory. They swap tall tales about their abilities and escapades. It was McCree who was the first to realize Mercy and Devil Dog were in love, and forced his friend to admit it to himself.

**Jamison "Junkrat" Fawkes**- The Rat as Devil Dog calls him is a bit insane, but has had Devil Dog's back for awhile now. Devil Dog usually calls on Junkrat to clear out an area of enemies so he can erect defensive positions quicker.

**Mako "Roadhog" Rutledge**- The Hog is a psychopathic asshole, but that's why Devil Dog likes him. A no nonsense bruiser who can get the job done, he often covers Devil Dog while the latter builds fortifications.

**Gabriel "Reaper" Reyes**- Reyes was the one who nominated Rhett for the position of combat engineer in Overwatch. Devil Dog looks up to Reaper, seeing him as a living embodiment of what he believes in, in a sardonically twisted way. On the one hand, Reaper is not above resorting to terrorism to get his work done. On the other, deep down he has a firm belief in Overwatch's mission. The two have major differences, but in the end view each other as close comrades.

**Genji Shimada**- It is heavily implied that Genji has feelings for Mercy. A running theme between the two of them is competition for her affection, though both remain good friends. When Mercy confessed her love to Rhett, he encouraged her to remain friends with Genji, as he knew he enjoys her company.

**Fareeha "Pharah" Amari**- Pharah and Devil Dog both respect each other and see one another as peers. Both military veterans, they both share a rather confusing story; they fought against and then along side each other five seperate times, in the same war!

**Lucio Correia dos Santos**- Lucio and Rhett share a love of music, though their tastes differ significantly. Growing up in Texas, Rhett is comforted by the saw of fiddles and the strum of guitars. Luckily, Lucio has compiled a playlist inspired by Rhett featuring a killer mix of Hank Jr. and Knife Party. Devil Dog also enjoys borrowing Lucio's music recording equipment from time to time to record his own musical creations (yes, he writes songs for and about Mercy among others).

**Amelie "Widowmaker" LaCroix**- Rhett respects her skill, but still holds her to a level of firmness, though some would say contempt. To him, brainwashing is no excuse for killing someone you claim to love. It is important to bear in mind that Rhett deeply values family, and considers betraying them a black offence; it is the reason why he hates himself, for failing to save his brother, and the reason why his parents are still alive, despite their abuse. Still, he is willing to scrub the slate and help Amelie get past her loss...provided she pays her price...

**Zenyatta**- Zenyatta and Devil Dog have an odd relationship. Zenyatta begs for Devil Dog's forgiveness for what omnics (namely Dethshrid) have taken from him, in return for Devil Dog letting go of his hatred of Omnics, and more importantly, himself.

**Jack "Soldier 76" Morrison**- Devil Dog considers Soldier 76 the consummate warrior. When Devil Dog was first taken into Overwatch, it was Soldier 76 who trained him to be a top level Overwatch Operator. As a result, Soldier 76 commands his respect, trust and loyalty.

**Aleksandra "Zarya" Zaryanova**- Zarya sees Devil Dog like a little brother. She doesn't doubt his skill, though. The truth is she owes her life to Devil Dog. When she was trapped behind enemy lines, Devil Dog came to her aid with not one, but three US Marine Corps companies in tow.

**Captain Lucas "Sharpshot" Marklovsky**- Rhett entered the army because he admired the war hero. His brother told him legends of the soldier when they were kids, and how he led his black ops team valiantly. When Lucas was revealed to be alive the whole time, the two had a bit of a rocky start in their relationship, but Rhett eventually developed a deep sense of loyalty to the Captain.

**Eli "Shark Man" Yangton**- Rhett recognizes the threat of the Shark Man, at the same time recognizes that he just wants to be left alone and turned back into a human.

## Retribution

Devil Dog, as a BlackWatch Combat Engineer, was present during the Venice incident. In the cut scene, he is shown sabotaging Antonio's electricity and security grid, allowing the crew to infiltrate his mansion. He gives the green light, and McCree and Reyes start attacking. After Reyes kills Antonio, Devil Dog will object with McCree that it was not part of the plan, but falls in. Though acting as an NPC, he is a major support element. Following Reyes, McCree, Genji and Moira on the rooftops, Devil Dog serves as the look out, announcing when special units were arriving on the field. He will also occasionally build turret nests if the team is struggling (two or more characters down.) At the resturant, Devil Dog will be picked up by the extraction craft, and will cover the crew as they retreat to the chopper.

In the outro cutscene, Devil Dog's face (though covered by his balaclava) is shown on a wanted poster. Notably, his is the only actual image of the team in Venice apart from a security camera still of Moira. He is then shown contemplating the future with McCree as Reyes, Morrison, Ana and a Lawyer debrief the incident.

## Comics

### *The Silent Scream*

This comic focuses on Rhett's past. While making stone statues at his desk in his room, he realizes the statue he had mindlessly made is that of his deceased brother, Colby. As he looks at his brother's face, he begins to have flashbacks, remembering the horrendous abuse he suffered at his parents hands, how he had nearly forgotten his name due to the dehumanization methods they used on him. He then remembers being captured by Dethshrid, and the horrendous torment that he and Colby faced. He recalls how he fell in love with Trisha, and became engaged to her, but was murdered by one of Dethshrid's cyborgs on their wedding day while she was walking down the aisle. Rhett's mind begins to race over everyone who has died since he joined Overwatch, culminating with a vivid memory of Dethshrid killing Colby by forcing him to swallow razor blades. And finally, Dethshrid turning his brother into an undead cyborg and forcing him to cut off Rhett's left leg.

When the vision subsides, Rhett is seen collapsed on the floor, clutching Colby's statue close to him. Around him, voices call out for help. When Rhett wakes up, he is in the Gibraltar medical wing. He cannot remember his name, but quietly calls for Angela. The final panel shows Angela and Genji observing Rhett through a one sided window, and Angela, clearly distraught, says that Rhett is in "unimaginable pain."

### *Dark Tide*

A short comic focusing on Rhett's search for Dethshrid. Dethshrid is seen making numerous unknown visits to seemingly unconnected places on the globe; San Carlos, Nicaragua; Mosul, Iraq; St. Petersburg, Russia; Prague, Czech Republic; and Tijuana, Mexico. Rhett personally investigates, but finds little to connect the visits with anything. Getting the jump on Dethshrid, Rhett manages to get a warrant for a raid on an Oil Field in the Atacama desert, where Dethshrid is believed to currently be. Dethshrid is not there, but is horrified to see that Dethshrid has photos of Mercy at all the above places; he comes to the horrible conclusion that Dethshrid has discovered about their relationship.

Meanwhile, in Vladivostok, Russia, Dethshrid is amused that Rhett is courting another woman; "It's been awhile since I've ruined a wedding..."

### *Beginnings*

A more lighthearted comic, this issue shows the crew on Valentines Day. The first page shows McCree and Rhett having a couple beers when McCree tells his friend to come clean. Rhett denies he knows what McCree is talking about. McCree laughs and tells him he isn't fooled, that Rhett is "head over boots."

On Valentines day, the crew is a little low key, though each show special displays of affection for their teammates; Torbjorn repairing Widowmaker's scope, Zarya giving Winston Peanut Butter and Tracer calling her girlfriend in London. Mercy walks in and is about to make breakfast only to realize someone already has, her favorite, no less; Swiss bread toast with honey, diced fruit and herbal tea, complete with a white rose and a small note hoping that she had "a wonderful day." No one knows who prepared it, and Tracer and Sombra both come to the conclusion (whilst fan girling all over the place) that Mercy had a secret admirer. It is deduced that it is some one on the Overwatch team, since who ever it was knew the exact kind of tea she liked, and that white roses were her favorite.

Meanwhile, Rhett bangs his head against the wall in his room, calling himself an idiot. Believing that preparing breakfast for Mercy was too much of a givaway, too forward, and that Mercy would surely reject him. He paces his room, does push ups "for the hell of it," and calls McCree just to hang up when he answers. Tracer knocks on his door, causing Rhett to enter full panic mode. He is about to spill the beans when Mercy and Genji walk in. Mercy has narrowed down the possible culprits to them, and asks the one responsible to step forward "or else."

Defeated, Rhett steps forward, which prompts Mercy to walk up to him and kiss him on the cheek, thanking him. She asks him where he got the rose, since the only white rose bush was her own, and it had not been tampered with. Rhett tells her that a rose bush grows in a crevice on the side of Watchpoint Gibraltar, and that he climbed out there to get it. She thanks him again, and tells him to have a wonderful day as well. They all walk out.

The scene cuts back to Rhett and McCree, and it is revealed that this is after the fact. McCree calls Rhett "smooth as sandpaper, but with alot of potential." Rhett smiles and finally admits he is in love with Mercy.
