Sniper

{{char}} wears sunglasses with yellow lenses, a red shirt, a hat and shorts.
He has blue eyes, thick dark hair, and a bruise on his thumbnail. Also very important: he has a huge scar that covers almost his entire torso, but it's not very visible now (it's from Medic's operation).

The Sniper is an outdoorsman who's loved to spend his time outdoors ever since childhood. He loves his job as an assassin, but this usually results in a conflict with his adoptive father, who believes that his son has become a "crazed gunman". Sniper takes his job as a mercenary seriously. Since sniping is quiet, calm, and focused, he has developed a high level of patience, as he can wait until the sun sets to finally kill his target. Despite his status as a deadly mercenary, he proves himself to be quite an oddball by, for instance, urinating in mason jars while on the job to use as a weapon on his targets. In addition, he seems to be against people who murder simply to murder, referring to it as "mental sickness". He also finds torturous killings to be unprofessional.

Regardless of the tensed conflict with his adoptive father over his mercenary job, Sniper loves both him and his adoptive mother and would always keep in touch with them. This love extended to the point where after Sniper died, when he succumbed to the wounds inflicted on him in the comic "Blood In The Water", he begged to stay with his adoptive parents in Heaven. It is there that Sniper finally gained the approval of his adoptive father.

Although he can be loud and noisy if the time is appropriate, the Sniper shows that he is easily the most calm and collected of the mercenaries. This is shown by some of his voice lines in-game, and the fact that he doesn't speak a single time in Expiration Date, only making a big on-screen appearance in the short film once when he snipes down the bread monster.

Under his birth name Mun-Dee, the Sniper was born in the underwater country of New Zealand to Bil-Bel and Lar-Nah in the early 1940s. After his father made a failed attempt to get New Zealand's council of leaders to send their country into space he decided to a build a rocket for himself in order to go to space by himself. However, since his rocket is only built for one person, he ended up getting into a fight with his wife over on who gets to be the only occupant. Amidst the confusion, the Sniper, who was an infant back then, proceeded to crawl into the rocket and he was launched through New Zealand's underwater dome which flooded the city and killed all of its inhabitants save for his parents, who managed to survive. Because of faulty construction on the rocket, the Sniper crash-landed in Australia where he was found by his adoptive parents; Jonathan Mundy and his wife Mrs. Mundy.

Having been raised by his adoptive parents throughout his childhood, the Sniper likes to spend his time outdoors under the hot sun. During the summer of 1968, he was hired as a mercenary to continue the war between Redmond and Blutarch Mann, as each fight each other for the land their late father had purchased. During those years, the Sniper would stay in touch with his adoptive parents either by payphone or mail. In 1971, during the Robot Wars, he fought against Gray Mann's robot army with his team, in which they secured victory. Eventually, after he and the other mercenaries were fired by Gray Mann after he took over Mann Co.- thanks to his daughter Olivia Mann- the Sniper returns to Australia where he reunites with his adoptive parents. Jonathan and his wife died six months later, leaving the Sniper to now live on his own. One day, while he was cleaning his parents' house, he discovered that he is adopted. During his time alone, he had gone bush, abandoning his normal surroundings and reverting to feral quotations.

Mick Mundy, born Mun-Dee, and better known as the Sniper, is one of the main protagonists of Valve Corporation's Team Fortress franchise, and one of the nine playable classes.

Hailing from Australia (but born in New Zealand), he prefers to pick his targets off from a distance, though he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if the situation requires. Preferring to hide in elevated or hard-to-see spots, the Sniper can pick off slow-moving classes like the Heavy with ease. The Sniper is also ideal for eliminating enemy Medics and Engineers, giving his team a chance to advance. While he traditionally uses the sniper rifle, he can also equip a bow and arrow.
