After deciding to seek his own way to help the world, ex-Overwatch operative Emre Sarioglu disappeared one day. He has since mysteriously resurfaced as a ruthless killing cyborg thanks to the malignant force that has corrupted his mind. With what little free will remains, Emre turns to Freja, his most trusted ally, to help him keep his humanity – even at the cost of allying with Talon.
Walking away
Emre was once known as a tactical prodigy and local hero. His sharp mind and natural leadership skills earned him universal respect, so it came as no surprise that he was the first post-Omnic Crisis addition to the Overwatch Strike Team. He staunchly believed in their mission to help others with unwavering conviction, frequently interfacing with support groups such as Overwatch’s Search and Rescue Team. But years of watching corruption creep into the organization pushed Emre to make the hardest call of his life: to walk away in favor of helping others on his own terms.

Bounty hunted
In the years that followed, Emre was spotted conducting missions for Talon. Though he was reportedly effective in combat operations, other agents in Talon noted his unreliability and tendency to go dark for long stretches of time. During one such absence, Maximilien hired the ex-Overwatch bounty hunter Freja, who had been Emre’s dearest friend in his old life. When Freja finally managed to track Emre down, he confided in her about his predicament; that he was being overtaken by an unknown force that turned him into a killing machine against his will. Unable to abandon him, Freja chose to stand with him instead of against him. Now the two operate in Talon’s shadow, fighting to keep what remains of Emre’s humanity alive.
Reign of talon
Together with Freja, Emre was sent to Watchpoint: Grand Mesa on a high‑risk mission to extract the Soldier Enhancement Serum from the fiercely guarded Naughton Vault. After battling Helix’s Head of Security, Sierra Turner Woods, they escaped with their prize—delivering Vendetta exactly what she needed to move her plans forward.
Emre Tips
- 1Positioning and sightline control are the foundation of Emre's effectiveness — always know your escape route before committing to a fight.
- 2Ability resource management is critical; save your key cooldowns for turning-point moments rather than wasting them on low-value targets.
- 3Read enemy movement patterns and preposition rather than reactively repositioning — anticipation over reaction wins fights.
- 4Sync your damage burst with your tank's engage to overwhelm the enemy's healing capacity at the decisive moment.
Damage Overview
Damage heroes are the primary source of eliminations and pick potential on any team. Whether they operate from long range or dive into close quarters, their goal is to remove high-value targets and create openings for their team. Damage heroes vary enormously in playstyle — some demand precise aim, others reward aggressive positioning. Understanding your hero's range and engagement windows is the foundation of effective damage play.
Positioning
Positioning varies dramatically by hero archetype. Hitscan and sniper heroes seek high ground and open sightlines. Flankers need cover-dense paths to approach from unexpected angles. Regardless of style, always know your escape route before you commit to an engagement — getting caught in a bad position as a damage hero means a fast death.
