The global security force saw Genji as a potential asset in its ongoing operations to combat the Shimada clan. Hanzo believed that he had killed his brother, but Genji was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. This act broke Hanzo’s heart and drove him to reject his father’s legacy, ultimately leading him to abandon the clan and all that he had worked so hard to attain. When his brother refused, Hanzo was forced to kill him. Upon the death of his father, the clan elders instructed Hanzo to straighten out his wayward younger brother so that he, too, might help rule the Shimada empire. As the eldest son of the family’s head, Hanzo was bound by duty to succeed his father and rule the Shimada empire. The Shimada family was established centuries ago, a clan of assassins whose power grew over the years, enabling them to build a vast criminal empire that profited from lucrative trade in arms and illegal substances.
