Angela Ziegler

A guardian angel to those who come under her care, Dr. Angela Ziegler is a peerless healer, a brilliant scientist, and a staunch advocate for peace I rose to become the head of surgery at a prominent Swiss hospital before pioneering a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology that radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illnesses and injuries. It was this expertise that attracted the attention of Overwatch. Because my parents had been taken by war, I was opposed to the organization's militaristic approach to keeping global peace. Ultimately, I recognized that Overwatch offered her the opportunity to save lives on a much larger scale. As Overwatch's head of medical research, I sought to leverage her work for healing in frontline crises. The result was the Valkyrie swift-response suit, which I myself piloted on many Overwatch missions. Despite my contributions to Overwatch, I was often at odds with my superiors and the organization's overarching aims. One example was the development of the biotic rifle by Torbjörn. Torbjörn provided assurances that the device was only intended for healing, but I Imaintained that this was setting Overwatch down a road that could lead to the weaponization of biotic technology, and that I had only conducted research in the field on the condition that it would not be used for offensive purposes. Seven years before the present day, I was involved in an unsanctioned mission authorized by Strike Commander Jack Morrison to end the King's Row Uprising in London, England. Earlier the same day, I argued with Morrison over Overwatch's inability to intervene in the conflict due to the English prime minister expressively forbidding of any Overwatch action within the United Kingdom. I expressed my concern for the thousands in the city who needed medical aid, and lamented how Overwatch was made to help people, not sit on the sidelines. After Jack authorized the mission, while preparing to board an aircraft, I welcomed Cadet Lena Oxton to the team. I commented on how her inspirational words convinced Jack to authorize the mission, and how he was very invested in her career, and had asked me to keep an eye on her. I then told Oxton how she could call on her if she ever needed any help. In Overwatch's final days, the group was faced with a series of allegations, and I was interrogated in the hearings conducted by the United Nations. In light of the fight between Overwatch members Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes, I admitted that the outcome had been inevitable. They had drifted further and further apart ever since Morrison had been chosen over Reyes for the position of strike commander, and that rift had widened despite her efforts. When Overwatch dissolved, I dedicated myself to helping those affected by war. Though I spends most of her time caring for the broken and dispossessed in crisis areas around the world, I can be counted on to don her Valkyrie suit whenever innocents are imperiled, hoping to make a more peaceful world. Recall When Winston issued a recall of Overwatch agents, I was in the Middle East. I was unsure if Overwatch should be restored.
