{{Quotation|'''The Demoman''' ''after blowing up an enemy mercenary''|''Oh, they're goin' ta have to glue you back together... IN HELL!''}} | |||
The Demoman' | The '''Demoman''' is a demolitions expert and a self-described "Black Scottish Cyclops" from [[w:Ullapool|Ullapool]], [[w:Scotland|Scotland]] with a fascination for all things explosive and a fierce temper. He is a generalist [[Classes#Defense|defense class]] with powerful explosives and mobility options by the dozen. | ||
He specializes in explosives and has a wide range of weaponry involving them, such as a grenade launcher that can fire fast-moving grenade projectiles (often referred to as ''pills'' or ''pipes'') that deal high amounts of damage in large areas, a mine layer that lays mines on walls, floors or ceilings catching his enemies by surprise, or a grenade launcher referred to as "[[Cyclops|The Cyclops]]" that fires EMP grenade projectiles that can detonate instaneously upon him letting go of the trigger. This makes the Demoman a defensive powerhouse, with many mobility options and explosive weapons making him one of the best generalist classes in the entire game next to the [[Soldier]]. | |||
His most iconic mobility option is his sticky jump, where he uses his Stickybomb Launcher to exploit the self-damage and self-knockback aspects of his spiked bombs (referred to as ''stickies'') to propel himself across great distances in any direction, with further stickies fired beneath him allowing for further velocity. However, since he doesn't have the same explosive damage resistance to these stickies as the Soldier, ambitious jumps may lead to immediate death. | |||
Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz. | |||

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, back 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. | 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.

*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. | *The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypical Scottish appearance, consisting of pale skin and red hair.
