Rainbow Six Siege Receives First-Ever Transgender Operator

Rainbow Six Siege’s new operator Osa joins the warzone, she is the first-ever transgender operator to be in the game.

Osa is a two-health, two-difficulty operator that wields a Talon-8 Clear Shield for protection. About her gender, it was not revealed or mentioned during the announcement. GameSpot on the other hand has noticed the mention of “transition” in Osa’s biography and reached Ubisoft for comment. Ubisoft’s statement is as follows:

“The decision to create a transgender character was made early on, as part of our initiative to have an exclusive roster of Operators,” the statement continues, “The consultants, all of whom are trans people, wanted to make sure that Osa was presented as authentically and organically as possible.”

“She followed her passion for creation and technology and studied electromechanical at a vocational school, and then military engineering at the University of Zagreb where she excelled at robotics engineering,” says Osa’s biography, “She found herself isolated due to her unorthodox approach and others’ attitudes toward her transition, so she focused on her work.”
