Bastion

Overview

Bastion is a playable character in the video game Overwatch 2, and he has an interesting backstory that led up to his appearance in the game. I can provide you with an overview of the character and his journey in the Overwatch universe.

Bastion is an omnic robot designed for peacekeeping and combat. His main function was to provide long-range artillery support and to operate as a sentry to protect important locations. However, during the Omnic Crisis, the robot was reprogrammed by the terrorist organization known as the Null Sector to serve as a weapon against humans.

After the crisis ended, Bastion was deactivated and left abandoned in the wilderness for over a decade. During this time, the robot slowly gained a sense of sentience and began to appreciate the beauty of nature. He even made friends with a small bird and kept it as a companion.
