The Watcher

> Who said you needed eyes to watch anything?

The Watcher is a metahuman Freak. He appears as a Spy and wears a red-and-black A Hat To Kill For that is always tipped downwards to cover his lack of eyes, along with Bandit's Boots. Despite what his name suggests, the Watcher has no eyes - a trait that has led to many others questioning his choice of name.

## Appearance

The Watcher is a BLK Spy with A Hat To Kill For and Bandit's Boots. His hat band is black, though the hat itself is red. As the Watcher has no affiliation to RED or BLU, it is assumed he stole his hat from a RED mercenary. He dresses in a black striped suit with a white undershirt and black tie, along with a black mask.

He has no eyes, and wears his hat tipped down to block out his eyes. Where eyeballs should be, the Watcher instead has empty eye sockets in which his mask sinks into. He tends to appear with a creepy grin, though he loses the smile when interacting with anyone who isn't intended to be a victim.

## Behaviour and Personality

A generally aggressive Freak, the Watcher is known to attack just about any human without discrimination. His motives are almost entirely unclear and his attack patterns unpredictable, making it hard to figure out when he might attack someone and why. This is especially unclear for other Freaks, as the Watcher is known to have engaged other Freaks in combat at random with no motive or reason.

Despite his aggression towards humans and certain Freaks, the Watcher is generally cordial and gentlemanly around most Freaks. He speaks with a British accent and while he speaks with an excellent grasp of the English language, does not recognise irony and sarcasm easily. This is proven time and time again whenever someone asks if he realises the irony of being called "The Watcher" despite his distinct lack of any eyeballs. He often responds that one does not need eyes to see, but only after awhile.

The Watcher is classy and sophisticated, preferring to indulge himself in human luxuries when he isn't out and about, prowling the Freak world for his next victim. He isn't the type to get his cuff links dirty if he can avoid it, preferring to delegate any of the literally dirty work to his friend, Rifleman. He currently has no side in the war on the Freak world, distancing himself from the war itself though he is interested in watching it unfold and may decide to take a side in the future.

## Powers and Abilities

As a Freak that has about the same stamina and limitations as a human, the Watcher relies on attacks that disorient and stun his enemies before he goes in for the kill. He is notably quick and has incredible evasive tactics, though these abilities are not enough to take on most victims.

Instead, the Watcher relies on his signature blind-stun power, which temporarily blinds his enemy and blacks out their vision entirely for a few seconds. When their vision returns, the Watcher is often right in their faces with his signature creepy smile, and his hat tipped upwards to show his eyesockets. He then executes his victim with a bullet to the head, or uses his Wanga Prick to gouge out his victim's eyes.

The Watcher is also capable of short-range rapid teleportation, otherwise known as "blinking". He only uses this ability if his victim is about to escape, or if he needs a quick getaway.

Because he lacks eyes and does not "see" in the typical way, the Watcher is completely immune to Snyphurr's stone-gaze ability.

## Faults and Weaknesses

The Watcher is considered one of the weaker Freaks who can rarely take on stronger Freaks like Painis Cupcake, Christian Brutal Sniper, and pack Freaks like MeeM and Odd Engies. He is also resistant to anything that gets him dirty or messy, which sometimes gets him into trouble if someone is in pursuit of him.

He lacks any real aggressive attacks and has one revolver as his only means of ranged attacks, making it much harder for him to fight anyone with ranged attacks. He can become too reliant on his blind ability at times and trip up when he is unable to use it against an enemy.
