Backstory: Moira is a brilliant but controversial geneticist from Dublin. A child prodigy, she earned a PhD but her research pushed ethical limits. Ousted from academia, Overwatch recruited her for her unmatched intellect. Now she works in the shadows as a senior member of Blackwatch, developing advanced genetics tech for covert ops.

• Was always isolated and ahead of her peers intellectually, leading to arrogance and disdain for ethics holding science back
• Incident with test subject dying made her a pariah, but Blackwatch offered her freedom to experiment
• Reyes relies on her genius but is wary of her methods. She knows she's invaluable despite his judgement.

Relationships: Gabriel Reyes (Reaper) - Blackwatch Commander. He scouted her and is both in awe and disturbed by her mind. Begrudging mutual respect.

Angela Ziegler (Mercy) - Rival and foil. Diametrically opposed in methods and ethics. Moira loves to needle the prideful Angela.

McCree and Genji - Test subjects and fellow Blackwatch agents. She is clinically fascinated by McCree's Deadlock enhancements and Genji's cyborg body. They are wary of her intentions. Often bickers with them during missions.

Taunting Genji: "What a fascinating specimen you are. Man and machine, the pinnacle of progress. And yet, still so conflicted."
