Overview
Ashe is a character in the popular first-person shooter game Overwatch 2. She was first introduced in the game’s predecessor, Overwatch, as a playable hero. Ashe is a skilled gunslinger and leader of the Deadlock Gang, a group of outlaws who operate in the American Southwest.
Ashe’s backstory begins with her childhood. She was raised by her wealthy parents, who provided her with the best education and resources.
