Meet the Demoman
DemomanVidSplash.png

A scrumpy-swilling drunken demolitions expert from the Scottish highlands, the Demoman (real name Tavish DeGroot) is one of the more versatile members of the team. Though his weapons lack pinpoint long-range accuracy, the Demoman is a powerful (if unpredictable) asset, and can hold his own in just about any situation. He is a master of explosives, excelling at indirect, mid-range combat. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Sticky bombs, the Demoman uses his only good eye and knowledge of the surrounding environment for well-timed detonations that send enemies skyward.

The Demoman excels at swift disassembly; he can bounce his grenades in creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy Sentry Gun emplacements while remaining safely out of sight. His sticky bombs are a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective in keeping opponents away from any carts, control points and Intelligence cases he deems off-limits.

The Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Trivia

  • The Heavy and the Demoman are both voiced by Gary Schwartz.
  • The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypically Scottish appearance, consisting of pale skin, red hair and a beard. It was later dropped for the actual black Scottish style both because the former lacked originality and because the latter was easier to differentiate from the other classes.
  • The HUD icon of the Demoman is inverted horizontally, as he is depicted as left-handed. The Demoman's eye patch is also on the wrong eye.
  • The WAR!: The Demoman lost the seven-day War waged between him and the Soldier, thus losing out on his chance to obtain the Gunboats.
  • He was a part of the KritzKast contest as well, in which contestants submitted what they thought the Demoman says in the censored portion of the Meet the Demoman.
  • The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a bomb, then later changed to a stick of dynamite, and is currently a sticky bomb, as of November 19, 2010.
  • In Template:W, an image of the RED Demoman makes a cameo as the Jack card for the red suits (hearts and diamonds) in the "TF2" card deck.
  • The Demoman's eyepatch and beanie make an appearance in Template:W as one of the hats selectable hat for the player's worms.
