History
Overwatch was a special forces military division created by the United Nations in response to the Omnic Crisis.
Afterwards, the existence of a top secret division of the organization was found named Blackwatch with this being revealed where reports came of this branch involved in assassination, coercion, kidnapping, torture and similarly shocking acts. This led to a call by governments on the U.N. to shutdown Overwatch due to its aggressive acts along with repeated violations of many countries sovereignty.
This led to its agents being targets of scorn and suspicion by the media. After the creation of the Petras Act, the activities of Overwatch were deemed as being illegal and meant that its operatives were liable to prosecution for continued operations.
Ten years ago, Overwatch was deployed in Egypt to shut down the Anubis Project after the God Program came online. In the aftermath, Overwatch suffered a negative fallout from both Egypt and Cairo.
Overview

It once maintained a top-secret black-ops division known as Blackwatch whose existence was kept secret from the public.
A vehicle used by the group was the MV-261 Orca that served as a transport for their teams into the field.
