The Demoman

Tavish Finnegan DeGroot, also known as The Demoman and The Drunken Scott, is one of the main characters from the Team Fortress 2 series.

The Demoman is the difficult-but-devastating master of explosives. His strength is slightly weaker than a Soldier, but a lot more powerful than most classes due to his firepower. 
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 master of explosives, the Demoman strategically deals massive amounts of indirect and mid-range splash damage. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman uses his one good eye and the knowledge of his surrounding environment for well-timed sticky bomb 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 extremely proficient at melee combat, being one of the deadliest melee users in the game, with a variety of powerful melee unlocks in his arsenal.

== Trivia ==
* The Demoman, Medic, and The Engineer are the only classes that have had their full name revealed.
* MONOCULUS! is actually Demoman's lost eye.
* The Demoman appears to be able to play a large piano organ, as seen in Expiration Date.
* The Demoman's Eyelander is possessed by an evil spirit, and considering this, still befriends the Demoman as seen in Ring of Fired. Also, the Eyelander's spirit has forced a spirit into the Bombinomicon.
* 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. This may also be callback to the commando from Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms who used a grenade launcher and had black skin.
* In the Team Fortress Comic #5, it was revealed by the Spy that the Demoman's body has spent 10 years wrestling nutrients out of Grain Alcohol and Aspirin when he was in a poor state after being fed solid food and water.
** Later, it is shown that his body is so accustomed to his alcoholic lifestyle that it is able to distill alcohol from his bone marrow. He is also able to drink harmful substances, such as hydrogen peroxide without any adverse effects.
** In their universe, machines are apparently affected by alcohol.
* An A.I. Demoman can know when a player steps on one of their Stickybombs from anywhere on the map.
* Demoman is the only character in TF2 who isn't white (possibly excluding the Pyro as we've never seen his face.)
* His last name (DeGroot) may mean that the Demoman is of South African origin. In Afrikaans Groot means "big" or "great".
* The Red Demoman And The Blu Soldier Used To Be Friends But When The "WAR!" Update Was Added They Went To War.
* The Demoman Accidentally Blew Up His Original Pair Of Adopted Parents With a Plan To Kill The Loch Ness Monster.
