Catalyst \u2014 real name Tressa Smith \u2014 is trans, and one of many LGBTQ Apex Legends<\/em> characters.<\/em> She’s voiced by actor Meli Grant and, according to a report from GamesRadar, Respawn worked closely with consultants from GLAAD and the studio’s own trans employees in developing her. Apex Legends <\/em>also features the non-binary Legend Bloodhound.<\/p>\n

A new \u201cStories from the Outlands\u201d animated video dives into Catalyst’s background, which shows her as part of a coven of friends who fight to protect Cleo \u2014 the moon of Tressa’s home planet Boreas \u2014 which is being mined by the Hammond Robotics corporation and threatening its stability.
