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 Stickybombs, 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.

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 and Intelligence cases he deems off-limits.

The Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Trivia

  • The voice actor for the Demoman, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Heavy.
  • 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 the actual black Scottish style both because the former lacked originality and because the latter was easier to differentiate from the other classes.[1]
  • 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.
  • The Demoman was also a part of the KritzKast contest, 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 for the player's worms.
  • Template:W was hired as the first BLU Demoman.
  • The WAR! comic features a picture of the demoman as a child with his parents. The seal in the background 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".
    • Ironically, no Highlander should have had an eye past thirty, according to the WAR! comic.
  • The Assault class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Demoman's eyepatch and beanie named "Eye Lad".
