Nickname: Romulus

Nationality: Italian
Occupation: Former Overwatch agent, general Peacekeeper, still does missions when he is needed.
Base of Operations: Rom is currently stationed in Numbani.
Affiliation: Overwatch(Former)
Voice: The modification that Romulus went through has gifted him the ability to speak fluent English and his master's native Italian. He has a very youthful and energetic voice, somewhat rough, and not too deep.
Personality: Nicholai Keller was a headstrong and cocky young man, but not an especially ill-meaning one. He did the right thing, even if it went against his orders, and was a bit of a loose gun because of this. He was savage on the field and showed little mercy to his foes, but when the fight was over and he could relax, he had the most boisterous sense of humor. He's the kind of man who would laugh at even the worst jokes, and never seemed to have anything but a bright smile on his face. He was especially devoted to his partner in crime, Romulus, a dog who would go on to serve him long after his untimely death.
Romulus holds much of Nicholai's personality traits due to the experiments that he went through shortly after the man's death, but he tends to be a lot more sarcastic and silver tongued. He isn't above making a low-brow remark about your mother, and can be quite rude sometimes. But his sense of humor never faltered, and he is still a valuable asset to any team. He currently works as a peacekeeper, a job that he takes very seriously. He wants to protect both humans and omnics alike, and isn't afraid of getting his paws dirty to do so.
Back Story: Nicholai was a prominent member of Overwatch for much of his teenage and adult years, battling alongside his loyal canine friend, Romulus, the Italian native had many victories to his name. But many victories means more targets painted on your back, and it was only a matter of time until it caught up to him. He was struck down in a fight, a bullet passing straight through his heart, the loss of such a bright young man was a hard blow, but also an opportunity for progress.
Using technology that was still in the experimentation phase, they managed to save the consciousness of the young man in the form of an AI, but they needed a host, and Romulus needed a purpose. The dog was subjected to many tests and experiments, modified and outfitted with the consciousness of his parted friend. Rom isn't aware of what he used to be, that part of his mind wiped, as far as he has ever known he has always been a dog, and they plan to keep it that way.
