Gabrielle Adawe was the under-secretary-general of the United Nations during and shortly after the Omnic Crisis, and a key member of Overwatch.
Story[ | ]
During the Omnic Crisis, Adawe was one of the key architects in the formation of the Overwatch taskforce[2] whom she believed would be able to negotiate a peace between humans and omnics.[1]
After the end of the war, she admitted that she had possessed doubts as to whether Overwatch could succeed. However, she admitted that Jack Morrison and Overwatch had not only met the UN's expectations, but had surpassed them.[3] She gave Morrison the position of strike-commander over Gabriel Reyes, reasoning that while Reyes had led the team during the Crisis, Morrison could do a better job of rebuilding it.[4] Afterwards, Adawe left Overwatch.[5]
In order to abet peacemaking efforts between humans and omnics, she founded the city of Numbani.[6] Until her last days, Adawe continued her efforts to abet her peacekeeping efforts. At some point, she presented the "Harmony Key" to the Numbani Omnic Union.[1]
Sometime after Adawe's death, Efi Oladele used sampled recordings of her voice for Orisa.[1]
