History 

 

Alistaire was born with a hole in his heart, his parents didn’t expect him to survive the first week but little did they know about the strong son they had brought into this world and what good he would do later on in life. He didn’t really have many friends growing up but the ones he did he cherished greatly, due to his heart condition Alistaire could never be involved in anything to strenuous or become too excited. So simple board games and card games along with reading was all the boy had for entertainment, as he grew up he watched as his friends moved onto other interests and people. As a young adult he saw the posters for Overwatch and the good they were doing around the world for both humans and omnics alike.  

He wanted to join but his parents argued they would never take something with such a condition such as his, but he then started to study cybernetics hard, coming up with the concept of a cybernetic heart one that would work just as well as a human heart but perhaps even stronger. But he was hospitalized before he could take the concept to Overwatch, as the hole slowly over time had become bigger. He still worked on the heart concept with the help of his mother when one day a Overwatch recruiter came in asking about his concept, they showed interest and promised to help him with his idea and that they would enlist the help of Doctor Ziegler. 

Once his cybernetic heart was installed Subject Zer0 was revived and then the tests began, he was hard on himself at first testing the actual limits of what the heart could take but he continued to improve the design for others who may need it in the future. But after the tests he was then cut off from the Overwatch Medical/Scientific unit to be put into combat and help with Blackwatch and their growing list of people need cybernetics, they gave him the agent name Soldier 0. Alistaire fought alongside other Blackwatch agents for the good of the world and to bring peace between humans and omnics but as Blackwatch started on it’s downfall a few of Overwatch/Blackwatch’s agents were put on a list for Cryopreservation. Zero was on that list, the project was to preserve their best agents for a time when the world would once again need Overwatch, be it in three years time or twenty. 

When the headquarters in Switzerland blew up the project was initiated and the agents on the list were gathered at a secret facility to be put into cryogenic tubes frozen in time. A team was assigned to watch over them but with time they too were long abandoned… 

 

Personality 

 

He’s quite a calm soul but often is very hard on himself always doubting what he does and believes he can always do things better even if he tries his best. It takes a while for someone to get in Alistaire’s good books as he has trust issues so if he looks at you with a judging eye don’t be surprized. He will always be up for a good old joke or joke book since they always cheer him up but sometimes he’s just best to be left alone when he’s in that mood. 

Alistaire is a fair man, he’ll be kind to most unless there is a warranted reason for him not to be, he holds great respect for other scientists and doctors. He’ll try to resolve things in a peaceful way if possible but if it comes down to it he will use violence.

Quotes 

 

“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”
