Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe grew up in the American southwest on a large estate. Born into a wealthy family, Ashe grew up surrounded by privilege. Her parents were highly sought-after business consultants and coaches for powerful CEOs around the world. Though her parents paid little attention to her (mostly leaving her in the care of the family’s omnic butler, B.O.B.), they ensured that Ashe had every opportunity to succeed. In light of their absence, Ashe grew to have a contentious childhood, getting into trouble at school, and spending her time shooting bottles on the family estate. A loner, Ashe spent a lot of time talking to B.O.B. (even if he was apparently incapable of talking back).
As a teen/young adult, these demeanors led to being temporarily incarcerated. A chance meeting with a local ruffian named Jesse McCree, and an impromptu string of crimes committed together opened her eyes to her true calling. The satisfaction of outwitting her targets and the thrill of getting away with it set her on the outlaw path.[1] Not only had she found something she enjoyed, she'd found something she was good at. As a criminal, the idea of making a name for herself appealed to her. She and McCree never dated; according to McCree, Ashe wasn't his type, as per her wealth. McCree knew how to "push her buttons" better than anyone else.
Ashe, McCree, and two others formed the Deadlock Gang. She formed it out of rebellious boredom, as given her wealth, she certainly didn't need the money. Ashe started to make a name for herself with bigger and more extravagant heists. While the Deadlock Gang wasn't the first gang to plague the American Southwest, Ashe declared that the gang would be "bigger and better" than its rivals, that they would "write their legend." Ashe found that she excelled as a leader—not only was she good at organizing heists and being a career criminal, but years of watching her parents coach and run their businesses had imparted her lessons on how to run a criminal enterprise.
Leader of the Deadlock Gang
The gang's rapid rise to prominence put them at odds with the other criminal organizations in the American southwest; the encounters often became violent. After years of skirmishes and bloodshed, Ashe called the heads of the major groups together, seeing the potential to grow the influence of all. She used what she’d learned from her parents’ business to bring order to these groups. Her proposal was that the gangs could work together (or at least, not work against each other). Her principles: keep your word, don’t work with the law, respect each other’s territory, and always punish betrayal. No longer having to focus her energies on squabbles with the other gangs, Ashe began writing her name across the American Southwest with a string of audacious heists and operations that has put her at top of the authorities’ most-wanted lists and cemented her legacy as an outlaw legend.
McCree ended up being captured in an Overwatch sting operation, and ended up joining Overwatch itself. For her part, Ashe kept a picture of McCree... on the dartboard of her hideout. |
