Sombra is an offensive hero in Overwatch. Her specialty is hacking, which she has been doing since childhood.
Background[]
Before she became Sombra, the girl of an unknown name was one of the orphan children left alone after the Omnic Crisis. Her natural skill in being able to hack just about anything, however, helped her survive. She manipulated highly-placed individuals to suit her own needs and soon joined the Los Muertos gang, in order to help them take rich people off of their high horses. She soon realized that knowledge is power and continued hacking, be it politicians, governments, corporations - anything worth hacking. She, however, got confident and soon noticed by a conspiracy she herself was investigating. She was forced to delete all traces of her identity and go into hiding.
She received a cybernetic graft in her spine and returned with a new name - Sombra. She launched a worldwide hacking spree, which gained the attention of Talon. She joined the ranks of the organization, still working with the Los Muertos. She immediately hacked the website of LumériCo, claiming that its CEO, Guillermo Portero, was using the riches of Mexico as well as its banks for his own purpose. She e-mailed Portero, informing him about what's coming next. She leaked all of Portero's information about his corruption to the public, which caught the eye of Atlas News and law enforcment. In fact, her skill was enough to make the media interpret her as a group os skilled hackers, not an individual. By the time Portero stepped down from his CEO position, Sombra already hacked into her next target - Volskaya Industries.
