"Everything can be hacked... and everyone."

Sombra, whose real name is unknown, is a thirty-year-old hacker based in Dorado Mexico. She is formerly affiliated with Talon and Los Muertos. She is one of the most notorious hackers and uses the information she hacks to manipulate others and to gain power.

Stealth attacks make Sombra one of the powerful infiltrators of the game. With her hacking skills, she has the power to disrupt and disorient the enemy team, making it easier for her and the rest of her team to eliminate them and fulfill their objective. She has the ability to relocate fast and do camouflage, making her a target hard to take out.

Blizzard also released an animated short titled "Infiltration". In the video, it shows other Overwatch characters such as Reaper and Widowmaker, working alongside Sombra to take out a high-ranking official in Russia. The operation didn't go as planned, forcing the trio to retreat back.

For an offensive attacker like her, she has a good set of skills that helps make her a formidable foe. Her skills include hacking the abilities and skills of her opponents, as well as their items, ability to teleport to a specific location to escape team fights or to take her targets by surprise and the ability to camouflage herself, easily infiltrating enemies from behind.

Overwatch is team-based multiplayer shooter game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and released in May 2016 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One . It puts players into teams of six and competes with each other in a battle arena like fashion.
