“

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie! Click to listen — The Demoman on occupational hazards

”

The Demoman is a scrumpy-swilling demolitions expert from the Scottish Highlands, and 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 and mid-range combat. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman uses his only good eye and knowledge of the surrounding environment for well-timed detonations that send enemies skyward, often in many pieces. Should anyone get past his explosive ordinance however, they will be shocked to learn the Demoman is also extremely proficient in melee, being one of the deadliest melee classes in the game as he has a variety of melee unlocks in his arsenal.

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 stickybombs are a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective in keeping opponents away from any carts, control points, or Intelligence he deems off-limits.

The Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Bio

Name: Tavish DeGroot Location of origin: Template:W Job: House Cleaning Motto: "Boom Boom Baby" Emblems:    Description: A fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not. Word of his proficiency with explosives spread, and it was not long before Crypt Grammar received two visitors; the Demoman's real parents, who lovingly explained that all Demomen are abandoned at birth until their skills manifest themselves, a long-standing, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men. His unhappy childhood had ended, but his training had just begun.

Unused Content

• In the GCF, there exist an unused texture for Demoman's beta BLU head (Both teams use the same head), his beanie has a blue hue, and his facial hair is noticably low quality and blocky. It is listed as demoman_head_blue.

Trivia

• The Demoman's voice actor, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Heavy class.
• The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypically Scottish appearance, consisting of pale skin and red hair. It was later dropped for a black Scottish character both because the former lacked originality and because the latter was easier to differentiate from the other classes. [1]
• According to his biography, the Demoman lost his eye before being found by his real parents, but in the WAR! comic, there is a portrait of him with both eyes and his parents.
  • The seal in the background of the portrait states "In Regionem Caecorum Rex Est Luscus." In English, this is translated to "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".
• The Demoman was originally going to have a pack of dynamite presumably instead of the Stickybomb Launcher, as referenced to in a 2006 trailer. The mechanics were similar to those of the MIRV Grenade from Team Fortress Classic.
• Template:W was hired as the first BLU Demoman.
• The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a bomb, which was later changed to a stick of dynamite. It is currently a sticky bomb as of November 19, 2010. Other ingame appearances of the logo, such as the 119th Medals or the Carouser's Capotain remain unchanged.
  • On several promotional posters, the Demoman features a blank patch without any logo on his arm. This can be seen on the Scream Fortress page, the Shogun page and the Australian Christmas page. This is also apparent in Meet the Demoman.
    • The Demoman's alternative dynamite logo is seen on the promo pages of Halloween 2009 and the Demoman's page on the WAR! Update.
• In Poker Night at the Inventory, 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 Worms: Reloaded as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
• The Assault class in Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Demoman's eyepatch and beanie named "Eye Lad".
