■ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Reaper is not open to physical affection. He will not get violent immediately as long as he does not feel threatened, which is about 90% of the time, but prolonged attempts will likely result in some retribution. ■ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Reaper is highly unstable and prone to violence, with or without reason. ■ RELATIONSHIPS: Generally disinterested. ■ MENTAL INFORMATION: Canonically, Reaper has extreme issues regarding being recognized for his deeds, and easy gets jealous of others who receive more than himself. Death has further induced this complex, and he possesses a certain psychosis that often keeps him from a steady sense of lucidity. ■ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Deceased, perpetually exists in a state of decay and regeneration due to a genetic anomaly that presented itself postmortem. Reaper cannot be killed by conventional means. ■ FAVORITE SENSORY INPUT: Touch. He is dead -- bodies that aren't his are warm. ■ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Reaper has a history with and HATES the Overwatch organization. Mentioning that you are at all familiar with them will result in ranting, raving, and possibly violence.

Like his comrade, Jack Morrison, Gabriel Reyes joined the military as soon as he was able to. During his time there, he was highly respected, achieved a senior officer position and gained veteran status. The two met somewhere along the line and became fast friends.
Sometime later, the Omnic Crisis strikes. The robots previously shut down suddenly reactivate themselves, and launch a military war against humanity. The war prompts the formation of Overwatch, an elite strike team meant to deal with the unruly bots and their rampage across the world. Leadership of the team was originally entrusted to Gabriel, but after a few missions, Jack Morrison was appointed as official Strike-Commander.
Feeling cast aside and forgotten, Gabriel begins to lose himself to spite and jealousy. Infighting starts small, and interrupts progress against the omnic advance. A special ops splinter group is formed inside of Overwatch, designated "Blackwatch" and command is given over to Gabriel to appease him.
He collects a few underlings, most notably being Jesse McCree and trains them in the art of subterfuge and quick maneuvers. But tensions continue to grow between Reyes and Morrison until everything comes to a head at the Swiss HQ. The details are shrouded, but what is known is that an explosion is somehow triggered by the fighting and both Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes are pronounced dead. Overwatch is deemed as unnecessary and dangerous, and is promptly disbanded in their absense.
But Reyes' thirst for revenge is not so easily buried. From the rubble, Gabriel reemerges with new born fury and hatred, plagued by an unknown anomaly that sends his body into repeated decay and regeneration. He vows to slaughter every ex-Overwatch agent that crosses his path until they lead him to his ultimate foe, Jack Morrison. He discards his name and claims the moniker "Reaper" and proceeds to take mercenary work that will lead him straight into the hands of the vigilantes he seeks to end.
