I was very surprised to see a redesign of Sigma for Overwatch 2, given the great lack of lore in his current outfit. but since reading Code of Violence … yes, this scientist definitely needs a lore buff.
I think we quite agree that the sigma that is in the game is quite “different” from the sigma that was taken from Talon (video origin). how did you manage to evolve his consciousness? who monitoring him? which is a very different department from the general one, I have some doubts that it can be moira his doctor. but above all … has sigma ever “acted” as an operative with the current orfit of the game? we lack a “canonization” of his path up to what we see from the OW2 screenshots.

I agree. Our precious floaty boy has been done dirty as of late 
To me it seems like the most rational way to steer his character is to follow the Widowmaker route and have him be brainwashed. We get the recurrent theme of music, so perhaps it’s like some sort of trigger? Think ‘Would you kindly’ from Bioshock. It would handily explain why he seems to have such a volatile personality, too.
That way it makes a lot more sense as to why he’s in the Talon outfit as a whole. He might not have any personal stakes, but he can be compelled to do something at the drop of a hat. Then we get a good question for him as a character; what happens when no one is in control?
Could be a fun narrative to follow.
