The '''Demoman''' is a [[Bottle|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 [[Weapons#demomanmelee|melee]], being one of the deadliest melee classes in the game as he has a variety of melee unlocks in his arsenal.

The '''Demoman''' is a self-described black Scottish cyclops and a [[Bottle|scrumpy]]-swilling demolitions expert from [[w:Ullapool|Ullapool]], [[w:Scotland|Scotland]], who is one of the most versatile members of the [[team]]. Capable of dealing large amounts of explosive damage, whether directly or through splash damage. Armed with his [[Grenade Launcher]] and [[Stickybomb Launcher]], the Demoman uses his one good eye and knowledge of his surrounding environment for well-timed stickybomb detonations and precise grenade impacts that send enemies skyward, often in many pieces. His weapons' large splash radius can also work against him, if an enemy manages to catch him at close range he will often take damage from his own explosives as he struggles to defend himself.
  
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 [[cart]]s, [[control points]], or [[Intelligence]] he deems off-limits.
+
The Demoman excels at swift destruction; he can launch grenades and stickybombs at creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy encampments and [[Sentry Gun]]s while remaining out of the line of fire, or simply blast his enemies into a red mist with a seemingly-endless stream of these explosives. His stickybombs are also a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective at keeping opponents away from [[Payload#Carts|carts]], [[Control point (objective)|control points]], [[Capture the Flag#Intelligence|Intelligence]], or any other location he deems off-limits.
  
The Demoman is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777229/ Gary Schwartz].
+
The Demoman can replace his default Stickybomb Launcher with a [[Demoman shield|shield]], allowing him to [[Charging|charge forward]] rapidly and gain a guaranteed [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|Mini-Crits]] or [[Critical hits|Critical hit]] on melee weapons. The shields can often be paired with one of the various melee weapons in his arsenal to compliment the charging ability, such as the [[Eyelander]]'s increased impact damage, the [[Claidheamh Mòr]]'s increased charging duration, or the [[Persian Persuader]]'s ability to recharge the ability by picking up ammo packs. The Demoman's primary weapon can be switched out for the [[Ali Baba's Wee Booties]] or the [[Bootlegger]], giving even more buffs to a shield while also being usable without a shield. A Demoman running a boots primary, a shield secondary, and a sword melee weapon is often referred to as a Demoknight.

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.

* The Demoman's [[Voice actors|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. [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1783]

* The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypical 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.[https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1783]
* According to his biography, the Demoman lost his eye before being found by his real parents, but in the [http://www.teamfortress.com/war/demo/02.htm WAR! comic], there is a portrait of him with both eyes and his parents.
+
* The ethnic Scottish, Irish, and Dutch names in his full name, ''Tavish Finnegan DeGroot'', collectively reference the antiquated cultural terms [[w:Black Scottish people|Black Scot]], [[w:Irish people#Black Irish|Black Irish]], and [[w:Afro-Dutch_people|Black Dutch]].
** 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".
+
** Black Irish and Black Dutch referred to people living in, having descendancy from, or claiming descendancy from Ireland or the Netherlands, respectively, but who were not actually ethnic Irish or Dutch.
* 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.
+
** Black Scot was used in much the same sense as above; however, [[w:Black Scottish people#History|Black Scots]] also referred specifically to numerous Scottish descendants of freed African house servants that remained in Scotland.
* {{W|Alfred Nobel}} was hired as the first BLU Demoman.
+
* Just like the rest of the classes, the Demoman makes an appearance in the ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]'' in the form of a wearable head mask.
* 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 Patch|November 19, 2010]]. Other ingame appearances of the logo, such as the [[119th Update|119th Medals]] or the [[Carouser's Capotain]] remain unchanged.
+
* According to his biography, the Demoman lost his eye before being found by his real parents, but in the [[:File:War12.jpg|''WAR!'']] comic, there is a portrait of him with both eyes and his parents.
** On several promotional posters, the Demoman features a blank patch without any logo on his arm. This can be seen on the [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress page], the [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5104 Shogun page] and the [http://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas/ Australian Christmas page]. This is also apparent in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxps--huGKY Meet the Demoman].
+
** According to the [[Bombinomicon (comic)|''Bombinomicon'']] comic, the Demoman lost his eye due to a magical spell to stop the Bombinomicon from possessing him. As this event occurred due to his mother asking him to get a job, it's likely this incident happened after he met his real parents.
*** The Demoman's alternative dynamite logo is seen on the promo pages of [http://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/ Halloween 2009] and the Demoman's page on the [http://www.teamfortress.com/demomanupdate/ WAR! Update].
+
* The DeGroot family's seal in the portrait of the aforementioned comic states in Latin, "''In Regionem Caecorum Rex Est Luscus''." In English, this is roughly translated to, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king". Scottish clans typically have mottos, often in prestigious languages like Latin.

 +
* The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a stick of dynamite, which was later changed to a bomb. It is currently a sticky bomb as of {{Patch name|11|19|2010}}. Other in-game appearances of the logo, such as the [[119th Update|119th Medals]], [[Scoreboard#Class icon gallery|Scoreboard Class icon]], [[Class Token]], [[Mann vs. Machine (teaser)|Mann vs. Machine trailer]], the [[Carouser's Capotain]], and Spy's [[Tailored Terminal]] special taunt remain unchanged.
 +
** On several promotional posters, the Demoman lacks any class icon on the patch on his sleeve. This can be seen on the [https://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress page], the [https://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5104 Shogun page] and the [https://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas/ Australian Christmas page]. This is also apparent in ''[[Meet the Demoman]]''.

*** Furthermore, the Demoman's alternative dynamite logo can be seen on the promo pages of [https://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/ Halloween 2009], the Demoman's page on the [https://www.teamfortress.com/demomanupdate/ WAR! Update], in ''[[Meet the Pyro]]'', on the backdrop image for ''Team Fortress 2'' on [[Steam]], as well on the [[PS3]] and [[Xbox 360]] versions of the game.

Meet the Demoman
DemomanVidSplash.png

The Demoman is a self-described black Scottish cyclops and a scrumpy-swilling demolitions expert from Ullapool, Scotland, who is one of the most versatile members of the team. Capable of dealing large amounts of explosive damage, whether directly or through splash damage. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman uses his one good eye and knowledge of his surrounding environment for well-timed stickybomb detonations and precise grenade impacts that send enemies skyward, often in many pieces. His weapons' large splash radius can also work against him, if an enemy manages to catch him at close range he will often take damage from his own explosives as he struggles to defend himself.

The Demoman excels at swift destruction; he can launch grenades and stickybombs at creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy encampments and Sentry Guns while remaining out of the line of fire, or simply blast his enemies into a red mist with a seemingly-endless stream of these explosives. His stickybombs are also a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective at keeping opponents away from carts, control points, Intelligence, or any other location he deems off-limits.

The Demoman can replace his default Stickybomb Launcher with a shield, allowing him to charge forward rapidly and gain a guaranteed Mini-Crits or Critical hit on melee weapons. The shields can often be paired with one of the various melee weapons in his arsenal to compliment the charging ability, such as the Eyelander's increased impact damage, the Claidheamh Mòr's increased charging duration, or the Persian Persuader's ability to recharge the ability by picking up ammo packs. The Demoman's primary weapon can be switched out for the Ali Baba's Wee Booties or the Bootlegger, giving even more buffs to a shield while also being usable without a shield. A Demoman running a boots primary, a shield secondary, and a sword melee weapon is often referred to as a Demoknight.

The Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Trivia

  • The Demoman's voice actor, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Heavy class.
  • The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypical 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]
  • The ethnic Scottish, Irish, and Dutch names in his full name, Tavish Finnegan DeGroot, collectively reference the antiquated cultural terms Black Scot, Black Irish, and Black Dutch.
    • Black Irish and Black Dutch referred to people living in, having descendancy from, or claiming descendancy from Ireland or the Netherlands, respectively, but who were not actually ethnic Irish or Dutch.
    • Black Scot was used in much the same sense as above; however, Black Scots also referred specifically to numerous Scottish descendants of freed African house servants that remained in Scotland.
  • Just like the rest of the classes, the Demoman makes an appearance in the Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask.
  • 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.
    • According to the Bombinomicon comic, the Demoman lost his eye due to a magical spell to stop the Bombinomicon from possessing him. As this event occurred due to his mother asking him to get a job, it's likely this incident happened after he met his real parents.
  • The DeGroot family's seal in the portrait of the aforementioned comic states in Latin, "In Regionem Caecorum Rex Est Luscus." In English, this is roughly translated to, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king". Scottish clans typically have mottos, often in prestigious languages like Latin.
  • 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.
  • The first BLU team Demoman resembled Alfred Nobel.
  • The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a stick of dynamite, which was later changed to a bomb. It is currently a sticky bomb as of November 19, 2010 Patch. Other in-game appearances of the logo, such as the 119th Medals, Scoreboard Class icon, Class Token, Mann vs. Machine trailer, the Carouser's Capotain, and Spy's Tailored Terminal special taunt remain unchanged.
  • In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Demoman makes a cameo as the Jack of Hearts & Diamonds in the "Team Fortress 2" 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".
  • The Demoman can play the piano, as seen in Expiration Date.
