2 (9)

2 is one of the supporting characters of the 2009 animated feature 9.
==History==
2 awakened on Monday, August 17 at 5:17 p.m. After the Scientist removed 2 from the Transfer Device, 2 leapt from his hand and shows a level of concern on his creator. When he went off to explore the room, he looked back one last time and smiled. Then, he carefully make his way across the floor, touching every object in the room. Later on, the Scientist comments that he is fascinated by the junk scattered in the Scientist's Workshop and happened to make a simple telescope out of some scraps.
2 is ordered to scout by 1. It is not revealed why initially, but there are light implications. 2 is captured by the Cat Beast along with the Talisman after meeting 9, who had the Talisman since he awoke in the Scientist's Lab (whom he protected from also being captured).
Before the Cat Beast can place the Talisman into the Fabrication Machine. 5 and 9 release 2 from his imprisonment and the stitchpunks put up a fight that's ended by 7 arriving and decapitating the Cat Beast. However, when 9 places the talisman into the Machine and activates it, 2 is too late in trying to stop him. He makes a grave mistake by looking at the Machine before letting out a muffled scream as his soul is absorbed by the Tailsman and he drops dead.
He is the first to die and his corpse was used as part of the Seamstress's trap. After fighting the Seamstress, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 set up a funeral for him by bringing his body to a fountain.
==Personality==
2 is the creative portion of the Scientist's personality. He is a kind, delicate old inventor. He is fascinated by garbage and scrap, and loves to explore the wastelands and look for parts for his inventions. He is not in very good shape, always walking with a cane, and can only see with a lorgnette attached to his stovepipe top hat. The Scientist wrote that after 2's creation, 2 began tinkering with the loose parts of the Scientist's workshop. He is an explorer who embodies the Scientist's strong creative spirit. He is virtually fearless, and possesses an inquisitive personality. He is a teacher to 5, with whom he shares a special bond. He is also the very first one to befriend 9. 2's leather skin is fastened with many knotted strings.
==Physical Appearance==
2 is made of burlap, with arms made of a material similar to vinyl. He has shoe leather running down his abdomen, which the bowed lace somewhat resembles a bowtie. He has a metal plate on the back of his head, and his eyes are large and made of brass. Due to his frequent excursions into the wastelands, his body has sustained much wear and tear, and he is now more frail than the other stitchpunks. He has a splint tied to his leg and carries a cane to help him walk. He also wears a candle hat to help light the way ahead of him, with a pane of glass attached (half of a pair of a human's glasses) to help him see. He uses a double-ended spear for offense and defense.
==Trivia==
*In the Russian adaptation, 2 represents The Scientist's assistant.
*According to the 9 behind the scenes commentary, Shane Acker describes 2 as a "salty old dog"
*The flashing lights emited from 2's eyes when his dead body is attached to the Seamstress are possibly projector flashbulbs fixed inside his head.
