Sam English is Pharah's father.
The Amari Family Lineage
Fareeha Amari, known by her Overwatch callsign "Pharah," is a prominent damage hero in the game, recognized for her rocket launcher and combat armor. Her family background is deeply rooted in the lore of Overwatch, particularly through her mother, Ana Amari, one of the founding members of the original Overwatch organization.
While Ana Amari's role in Overwatch lore is extensive and well-documented, details about Fareeha's father are less publicly known but crucial to her backstory.
Identity of Pharah's Father
Pharah's father is Sam English. He was formerly in a relationship with Ana Amari, making him the biological father of their daughter, Fareeha. This relationship connects him directly to two of Overwatch's key figures, despite his less prominent presence in the overarching narrative.
| Family Member | Relationship to Pharah | Key Role/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sam English | Father | Former partner of Ana Amari, biological father of Fareeha. |
| Ana Amari | Mother | Founding member of Overwatch, legendary sniper, and combat medic. |
| Fareeha Amari | Herself (Pharah) | Former Egyptian security chief, current Overwatch hero dedicated to justice and peace. |
Sam English's role primarily establishes the family dynamic and lineage of Fareeha Amari. While he is not a playable character or a central figure in the active conflicts of Overwatch, his connection to Ana and Pharah is a vital piece of the lore that helps define Pharah's background and motivations. This familial link grounds Pharah's aspirations in a personal history, driven by her mother's legacy and her own desire to protect.
