Reinhardt named Brigitte

Letter from Torbjorn to his wife after a mission

My dear Ingrid,

I know that by now you have gotten news of my injuries in our latest mission. While the descriptions may sound terrible, the doctors are quite sure I’ll make a full recovery. Even Angela came to visit me! On the matter of my arm, I promise to make it my first priority to construct a suitable prosthesis that will make everyone forget that it was ever gone. If only Angela’s dreams of tissue regeneration were a reality! I told her she should be working harder!

They tell me that you have not yet gone into labor, so I am holding out hope that I will be able to be by your side back home in Gothenburg when the time comes. Just wait a little longer for me!

You may have heard that Reinhardt is responsible for saving my life. I’ve heard the story at least four different times myself, already, each time more unbelievable than the last. Exaggerations, as you know how he can be. All the same, they’ve decided to award him a commendation for “conspicuous bravery.” Could two words better describe the big oaf?

He has been bothering me insufferably at my bedside. Half in jest, I suggested that if it would shut him up, I would allow him to name our daughter, as he has been badgering me about it these past months. He, of course, took me at my word. Truth be told, I had been considering making him her godfather, and I hope you’ll forgive me for making this decision without your consultation. We can only hope she doesn’t take after him too much.

I told him that you would have to agree to any name he chose, so let’s hope it’s a good one (though I fear that may be beyond his abilities, given some of the ridiculous names he gives the characters in his “true stories”). I’m getting sick of this hospital, so I am hoping to return soon.

Love,
Torbjörn

Does this mean Brigitte was named by Reinhardt?

From the comic I image Brigitte’s personality to be like Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist

Is this actually real? I live for this if Brigitte was actually named by him. In the cinematic, Brigitte’s shirt seemed to make her appear an avid health enthusiast. Knowing that she probably wants to help her dad recover from those injuries, could she be a healing support-builder?

Well it doesn’t specifically say it was Brigitte, Torbjorn has an unknown number of children so it could be any of them. But as only one has a name and face, you can conclude.

If only! I’d love that.

Only one was hinted at though. And this is supposed to be a hero we’ve seen or read about.

I was thinking an armor support like Symmetra with shields, Brigitte would give and repair armor. :thinking:

Would weird to have someone else giving armor. Unless the torbjorn changes makes it so they’re unique.

Not only that, but Reinhardt is apparently Brigitte’s godfather.

I live for Brigitte accidentally slipping and calling both Torbjorn and Reinhardt dad.

And her arms definitely “took after Reinhardt” :slight_smile: Who says Zarya was the only strong woman?! :smiley: I’d love to hear their interactions!

Don’t hype expectations

They don’t just update the story because they want to. This has something to do with 27.

Doesn’t Torbjörn have like 10 children?
I do really hope that it it’s about Brigitte…

By the way, what’s the source of this?

New lore update on the Overwatch page. Remove the spaces to get the link. https: //play overwatch .com /en-us/blog/21574699

Who else could it be about? Brigitte is the only one we know by name.

That’s stretching to fit your thought

Yeah, that’s a stretch, dude…

The only daughter Torb could be talking about is Brigitte.
Think about it: This event happened before Overwatch collapses, and in the Christmas comic, only 1 of Torb’s children is shown to be old enough to have been born around the time this event could have happened.

If we work by that logic maybe the new hero is the commendatory of Reinhardt’s award!

Geez, I just finished watching the movie, I come to the forums, and this is the first thread I open.
