What is Widowmaker’s Age in Overwatch 2?

Before we get into her age, first a bit of background about her. Amélie Lacroix was part of the esteemed Guillard family, growing up in their home of Chateau Guillard before meeting Gerard Lacroix, an Overwatch member in charge of taking down Talon’s terrorist operations before they began. With many assassination attempts against Gerard failing, Talon turned to his wife Amelie, who they kidnapped and brainwashed to align with Talon’s ideals and become an elite sniper assassin. Two weeks later, Amelie would kill Gerard in his sleep.

Once she was properly a Talon agent, she was given extensive changes to her system slowing her heart rate, and turning her skin a pale blue. The emotionless Amelie was now known simply as Widowmaker, an elite assassin with a well-known ruthlessness.
