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 on the RED Spy

Hailing from an indeterminate region of France, the Spy is an aficionado of sharp suits and even sharper knives, relying on stealth and trickery to aid the team. Using his unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible and 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 and sneak behind enemy lines before stabbing his unsuspecting 'teammates' in the back, quite literally. In fact, a swift backstab from behind 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.

The Spy is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Trivia

Sniper vs spy.jpg
  • The beta version of Team Fortress 2 had a fire-proof suit for the Spy. It took damage but could not be ignited. It replaced the Spy's primary weapon: the Revolver.
  • The Spy's old bio appears on his trading card, reading: "A master of disguise, misdirection, and the byzantine details of who really runs things, the Spy is a double reverse quadruple agent whose reflexive suspicion is entirely justified."
  • 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" ("My Little Cauliflower").
  • The Spy is known to speak phrases in Italian, French and Spanish.
  • A BLU Spy periodically appeared behind the RED Sniper in the Day 3 post of the Sniper Update, before the joint Spy Update was ultimately revealed.
  • In the Beta version, the Spy's suit was gray for both teams, and he wore a team colored arm band. This version can still be seen in the Spy's HUD.
  • While the Sniper, Soldier and Demoman are also known smokers, the Spy is the only class to actually hold a cigarette in his mouth during gameplay.
  • Before the Spy update, he had a calmer personality for domination or revenge. After the Sniper vs. Spy Update, his Domination lines now insult his opponents. As his voice lines are said in a calm collected manner, this gives him a split personality.
  • There are Revenge voice clips that are unused in the game at present.
