Before Overwatch, Gabriel Reyes was a highly decorated soldier, likely with experience in special operations. He participated in the Omnic Crisis, a global war where humans fought against rogue Omnic robots. His exceptional leadership and combat skills led him to be recruited into the Soldier Enhancement Program, where he became Soldier: 24 alongside Jack Morrison (Soldier: 76).He was seen as a natural leader, but when Overwatch was officially formed, Jack Morrison was chosen as its first commander, despite Reyes being more senior. This decision planted the first seeds of resentment between the two.
