Tekhartha Zenyatta is one of the many playable characters from Overwatch.

Background[]

Years ago, following the Omnic Crisis, a group of outcast omnic robots experienced what they described as a spiritual awakening. They abandoned their preprogrammed lives to establish a communal monastery deep in the Himalayas. After many years of meditation on the nature of existence, they came to the belief that they were more than artificial intelligence and, like humans, possessed the essence of a soul.

Recognizing the spiritual equality they held with humans, the monks, led by the enigmatic robot known as Tekhartha Mondatta, sought to heal the wounds caused by the Omnic Crisis a generation earlier and bring humans and robots back into societal harmony. Their message was embraced by millions around the world, and they became global celebrities. But one monk, Zenyatta, disagreed with this new direction. He believed that the way to repair the problems between humans and omnics was not through dogmatic teaching but through interpersonal connection and engagement.

Ultimately, Zenyatta followed his own path. He chose to leave the monastery and wander the world, helping those he meets to overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace. But, when necessary, he will fight to protect the innocent, be they omnic or human.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Orb of Destruction: Zenyatta uses orbs to project damaging energy onto the enemy. He can fire them individually or in a rapid-fire volley after charging for a bit.
  • Orb of Harmony: Zenyatta casts an orb over the shoulder of a targeted ally. So long as Zenyatta maintains line of sight, the orb slowly restores health to his ally.
  • Orb of Discord: Zenyatta attaches an orb of negative energy to the enemy, amplifying the damage they recieve as long as Zenyatta has them in his line of sight.
  • Transcendence: Zenyatta's ultimate ability. With it, he becomes completely invincible for six seconds, while automatically healing himself and any other nearby allies. However, he cannot use weapons while in this state.
