“

This Spy has already breached our defenses... You've seen what he's done to our colleagues! And worst of all: He could be any one of us. — The BLU Spy

”

Hailing from an indeterminate region of France, the Spy is a fan of sharp suits, even sharper knives and relies on stealth and trickery to aid the team. Using his unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible or even fake his own death, leaving unaware opponents off-guard. His Disguise Kit lets him take on the form of any class, allowing him to blend in while behind enemy lines before literally stabbing his unsuspecting 'teammates' in the back. In fact, a swift backstab with the Spy's trusty Knife will take out any foe in a single hit.

In addition to being able to assassinate key enemies quickly and efficiently, the Spy is great against the Engineer. Using his Sappers, he can disable the Engineer's buildings — slowly draining their health until they are destroyed unless removed by an Engineer or a Pyro wielding a Homewrecker.

Another common Spy target is the Heavy. While a Heavy has one of his Miniguns spun up, he moves at a speed slower than normal — this slower move speed along with the distraction of combat makes for an easy opportunity for a backstab. The Sniper is also a very big Spy target due to the fact that he doesnt't move much when scoped into his Sniper Rifle.

The Spy is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Trivia

• The Spy's voice actor Dennis Bateman also voices the Pyro and the helicopter pilot in Left 4 Dead.
• The BLU Scout's Mother is in a relationship with the RED Spy. A file in the BLU base contains photos documenting their activities. The Spy refers to her as "Ma Petite Chou-fleur" (Literally "My Little Cauliflower," which is the French equivalent of "My Sweetheart").
• The Spy is known to speak phrases in Italian, French, Spanish and Catalan.
• The Spy's suit colors changed prior to the game's release. The RED Spy originally wore a gray suit, while the BLU Spy's suit was a different shade of blue. Both had a striped tie and team-colored bands on their suits and arms, which made them resemble Team Fortress Classic's Civilian. These suits can still be seen in the Spy's HUD icon.
• The Spy's view model sleeves still have beta color schemes. In addition, the number of stripes on his sleeve do not match the world model.
• In Template:W, an image of the RED Spy makes a cameo as the Jack of Diamonds in the "Poker Night" card deck. On the card, the RED Spy is shown on the top, and on the bottom there is a RED Spy disguised as a BLU Engineer.
• The Spy makes an appearance in Template:W as one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Gravel Pit. As well, the Spy's balaclava is a selectable hat for the player's worms.
• If you start reloading while crouching, and then quickly stand up, the Spy's world reload animation is different.
• The Assassin class of Monday Night Combat has a promotional item with the Spy's disguise mask and the Scout's headset named "Bonk! Slash!". The disguise mask shows a Spy with a black balaclava, as opposed to the in-game team colored one.
