In the aftermath of the Omnic Crisis, the Australian government gifted the Australian omnium and the surrounding area to the omnics that had nearly destroyed their country, hoping to establish a long-term peace accord. However, this only angered the people who were displaced by this action, including Mako Rutledge, who would be later known as Roadhog. Furious, these displaced people took up arms and attacked the omnium. Events continued to escalate until the rebels sabotaged the omnium's fusion core, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the facility, irradiated the region, and littered the Outback with twisted metal and wreckage for kilometers around, turning it into a wasteland.
Mako adapted to the new wasteland by donning a mask and riding the broken highways on his chopper. Eventually, he became an enforcer and was hired by Junkrat as his personal bodyguard. Together, the two went on a worldwide crime spree, stealing everything they could get their hands on and leaving destruction in their wake.
In battle, Roadhog uses a gun called the scrap gun, which as its name implies, uses scrap metal as ammo. It's able to shoot the scrap out in a similar fashion as a shotgun, or can shoot out a ball of scrap which detonates farther away, scattering metal fragments from the point of impact. Lastly, Roadhog can attach a top-loader onto his scrapgun and manually, shooting non-stop to a wide space in front of him. He also carries a chain hook for pulling people close to him and an inhaler with unknown chemicals which heals him.
