There are theories that many Valorant fans believe to be related to the backstories of every Valorant Agent that refer to Voice Line, Player Card, Map, and other trivia that connect to one another.
It seems that Riot dabbled with quantum mechanics when they come up with the concepts of Omen and Radianite in general. However, this theory is yet to be confirmed by Riot.
Omen used to be a human and is believed to be a scientist who worked with Viper (Sabine) at Kingdom Corporation’s lab. Omen worked as a scientist/researcher, while Viper is a chemist.
They worked together on a project, researching Radianite, a substance that holds undiscovered power. However, the experiment ended in a fatal failure.
When the Radianite experiment is doomed to fail, Omen sacrificed himself to save Viper and the others in the lab, destroying his body and changed Viper into a “toxic”, vengeful character.
After the incident, Omen was believed to lost his memories and couldn’t even remember his name. In his interaction with Viper, she partially reveals Omen’s real name, yet she switches quickly to “Omen”.
Omen is well aware that Viper has been keeping secrets, he says “Don’t die here, I need your secrets”. Omen tries hard to restore his memories because, for him, memories have significant meaning. And it seems that killing the opposing Agents helps him restoring his memories.
Omen’s body would break down multiple times, but due to having been exposed to Radianite, he’d return as a wraith/shadow, which isn’t in his entirety. Other wraith/shadows are spread out across the universe, in the form of other “pieces” of Omen. However, since he’s lost his memories, this makes Omen think about how many times he has died when he sees another Omen in the opposing team.
Omen no longer has a true physical body like other Valorant Agents. He is in a superposition of existing everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Every time he teleports, he splits himself and merges into an entirety at the location he wants to be at. Omen can maintain his physical form due to the armor he wears, which is believed to hold the power of the Radianite.
However, the process of teleporting is an insanely painful process for Omen. As we know from Sova’s voice line, it seems that there’s something that can help Omen back to his condition to restore his memories, saving him from being trapped in a superposition, for him to live the life he once had.
So, that was all you need to know about the theory regarding Omen’s lore in the game, one of the Valorant Agents with a sad background.
