== Charactah Account ==
The Engineer is third in the Defense Category, and is marked by his yellow hard hat, welding goggles, single work glove, skin-colored dirt, overalls and toolkits. He speaks in a thick, distinctly Texan accent, and is reported to hail from Arlington, Texas, USA.
The Engineer is undeniably the workhorse of any good team defense, but he does have offensive capabilities as well, although limited when compared to his defensive power.
The Engineer's tools can be used to the player's advantage in many ways, one of which are "nests". Nests are tightly packed areas containing a Sentry Gun, a Dispenser, and Teleporter close-by. A good Engineer can be strategize where the optimal places are to put his buildings, making him vital to the team. An Engineer will usually spend the majority of his time tending to said buildings with his Wrench, in order to level them up and repair them. However, this makes them an easy target for Snipers given the Engineer's tendency to stay in one area. Spies pose a threat to an Engineer with their Sappers, which are made specifically to destroy Engineer's buildings. However, the two most detrimental to the Engineer are the Soldier and Demoman. They have explosive weapons that can take out buildings in just a handful of hits and from a safe distance away. With items like The Gunslinger and The Rescue Ranger, the Engineer can be more mobile and play away from their buildings for longer.

== Trivia ==
* The Engineer's real name is Dell Conagher.
* The Engineer can be considered the smartest class in the game, as in his "Meet the Team" in the description of the video he has "11 hard PHD's"
* The Engineer by far has the shortest height in the game.
* The Engineer has been known for its hatred by others in the game. Despite this, the internet surely loves him! He is most known for his quote "nope" and has been made a meme.
* The Engineer was listed in the 2010 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records (Gamers' Edition) as the most popular class in Team Fortress 2, with 15% of choosing to play as him.
* The first BLU team Engineer resembled Nikola Tesla, armed with a bag of blueprints instead of a P.D.A.
* A photograph on the Engineer update page displays an infant boy (presumably the Engineer) trying on his first pair of goggles, as the Engineer from Team Fortress Classic looks on proudly and pats him on the forehead.
* The Engineer wears his default helmet backwards; however, this is not an uncommon practice among construction workers.
* The Engineer seldom removes his welding goggles. To date, the only instances in which the Engineer has his goggles off are in the Loose Canon True Meaning and comics.
* The Engineer, (also the Pyro, Heavy, and the Medic) is one of four Team Fortress 2-based Familiars in Dungeon Defenders.
* The Engineer designed and built the Sentry Gun under contract from TF Industries in 1965. The PDF manual for the game that is listed on Steam shows a blueprint and promotional guide to using the Sentry Gun.
* In Meet the Engineer, only the engineer's guitar was being used. He didn't use any weapons (excluding the Sentry Gun). The other Meet the Team videos that have classes not use all of their weapons are the Heavy, Scout, Engineer, Medic and Sniper.
* The Engineer's father is the Team Fortress Classic Engineer.
