Jesse McCree was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but never had much of a stable upbringing. His childhood was full of mischief and he found himself idolizing cowboys of the old days that inspired his later demeanor. He found himself roped into working with the Deadlock Gang when he was only a teenager, but immediately began to make waves.
McCree had already made a name for himself as a member of the notorious Deadlock Gang, which trafficked in illicit weapons and military hardware throughout the American Southwest, when he and his associates were busted in an Overwatch sting operation. With his expert marksmanship and resourcefulness, he was given the choice between rotting in a maximum-security lockup and joining Blackwatch, Overwatch's covert ops division. He chose the latter. This is how he wound up under the supervision of Gabriel Reyes.
Although he was initially cynical, he came to believe that he could make amends for his past sins by righting the injustices of the world. McCree appreciated the flexibility afforded to the clandestine Blackwatch, unhindered by bureaucracy and red tape. But as Overwatch's influence waned, rogue elements within Blackwatch sought to bring down the organization and turn it to their own ends. Wanting no part of the infighting, McCree set off alone and went underground. All his ties with any remaining Overwatch members were promptly severed.
He resurfaced several years later as a mercenary. But while McCree's talents are sought after by parties great and small, he fights only for causes he believes are just. At the time of Overwatch's recall, he found himself in the American Midwest.
