Playable character from the first person action shooter Overwatch created by Blizzard Entertainment. He is voiced by Josh Petersdorf.
Roadhog and thousands of other citizens, were displaced during Omnic Crisis when the Australian Government gave their land to to the Omnium in an effort to establish peaceful relations. Enraged by the fact that his home was given away from under him he formed the Australian Liberation Front and began attacking the Omnium. The result was the detonation of the Omnium Core and irradiation of a vast swath of the Outback. The knowledge that he was responsible for the destruction of his home and death of so many, coupled with radiation poisoning Mako Rutledge slowly faded away and the ruthless killer Roadhog was born.
Personality
Roadhog was deeply scarred emotionally by the destruction of the Omnium Core and the resulting radiation poisoning. As Mako he was strong supporter of justice and equality for himself and his compatriots who were displaced by the Omnics. Once Mako faded and Roadhog surfaced he became a ruthless killer who valued only his own safety and security. This desire changes slightly when he encounters Junkrat and accepts his offer of a 50/50 split in his criminal dealings should Roadhog act as his bodyguard. While he has an imposing and gruff demeanor he also holds an apparent fondness for stuffed animals.
