Using the official TF2 comics, Valve's official Team Fortress trading cards and the boxes to the mercs' official NECA action figures, there is actually an impressive amount of lore to uncover about the 9 classes, as well as their families and associates.
EVERYTHING in this video is from the above official Valve sources. NOTHING is speculation or guesswork and where multiple official sources contradict each other that is stated in the video.

Clarifications & Corrections:
3:10 - Soldier is talking about Amelia Earhart's love for honey, not Pyro's gender. The joke in its entirety is of course a reference to community speculation about Pyro's gender, but Soldier himself does not have the suspicion. It is all a set up for the next page where he is asking Pyro to move to reveal the honey. What Soldier "always knew" was Amelia Earhart's love for honey www.teamfortress.com/tf03_cold_day_in_hell/#f=22.
3:19 - Correction, we only meet 8 of TFC because there is no Medic. But still, the other 7 are indeed all apparently male.
4:45 - "Heavy has a degree in Russian literature" - Whilst the Poker Night is a very high quality cameo from Heavy, it is not written nor published by Valve so lore "revealed" there doesn't belong in this video.
10:12 - I know the Meet the Medic short suggests otherwise, but the sources of "no formal medical training" are much stronger "canon" than the punchline "that's how I lost my medical licence" in the short. Check the pinned comment for a more detailed explanation.
10:25 - "Actually, the souls are from the TFC mercs". No, they aren't. Medic unambiguously clarifies to Pauling just a few pages later than the souls belong to our mercs - www.teamfortress.com/tf06_thenakedandthedead/#f=25ā¦

I love that there are two mercs with actual doctorate degrees, and the medic is neither of them.

Heavy has a PHD in Russian Literature and even in the Russian dub of the game speaks with a more refined manner than others.

When you think about it, Heavy's friendship with Medic makes sense lore-wise. Heavy states that he's "yet to meet a man who can outsmart bullet", and Medic is a man who can outsmart a bullet. And death. And the Devil.

I like the idea that Soldier isn't there because he's the best man for the job, but because he just so happens to know half of the people there, is willing to kill on the cheap, and is surprisingly resistant to dying.

I love how Spy, Scout, and Soldier canonically has killed Santa Claus and everyone treats them like heroes for it. Also I believe the reason why Solider is as dumb as he is, is because he has been lead poisoned by the water in Tuefort which also poisoned the entire town.
4.5K |
It's funny to me that almost all the mercs are fabulously wealthy for some inexplicable reason. Demoman has the DeGroot estate, Pyro was the CEO of a major corporation, Scout has his priceless Tom Jones collection and lord knows how much Heavy spends on minigun ammo

I like to imagine Soldierās parents didnāt know about Jane Doe being the name of unidentified female corpses and just named him that by accident.

My favorite fact about the mercs is that if you play as red scout, you can sometimes here a bird cooing. Thereās also a very small chance of a bird flying out of red scout when hes killed, both in reference to the ending of meet the medic

Fun fact: Scoutās first name, Jeremy, was inspired by Jerma985 (Jeremy Elbertson). When TF2 was being written as a TV show, one of the writers was a fan of Jermaās TF2 content, and found Jeremy looked strikingly similar to the scout. (Iām not kidding, by the way. You can look this up.)

You missed a large portion of Demoman's backstory.
The parents we see in the comics ARE his biological ones. They simply abandoned him at birth until his "Degroot Blood" manifested when he accidentally blew up his adoptive parents. His real parents then immediately returned to take him in and teach him how to harness explosives.
This is all part of an old and extremely unnecessary family tradition, designed to ensure that Degroots never rely on (or get attached to) their parents.
In a twisted way there's a tiny grain of logic to this, because Degroot tradition ALSO dictates that every Degroot will eventually blow themselves up, meaning it's important younger members of the family know how to cope without parents.
Still, if you ever wonder why Demoman has a drinking problem, and why he sometimes breaks down and calls himself "jus' a one-eyed bloody monster," this is probably why. Dude had a ROUGH childhood.

You kinda get why Sniper is such a reclusve when u know he is actually a Kiwi, he probably felt super out of the environment of Australium buff people, leading to him adopting a more aloof nature.

I know the canon validity of this is dubious at best, but we learn quite a bit about Heavy from his guest appearance in the game Poker Night at the Inventory
Here is a couple of them:
- Heavy got his PHD in literature from the Soviet College of Mines, Farms and Science. Heavy also uses his PHD in his line of work "more than you think"
- When asked by Tycho if he has any hobbies, Heavy states he collects rare coins. However, he only does so to melt them down and create custom bullets for his miniguns (which could be why his guns are so expensive to fire).
- Heavy has taken boxing classes. In his school, students had to sign up for either goat herding or boxing. He didn't like it at first but grew to love it.
- Heavy finds red-haired women attractive. This comes up after Tycho mentions his girlfrend.
- Heavy's favorite movies are The Dirty Dozen and the first twenty minutes of Rocky IV.
-Heavy's favorite book is Tsar/King Hunger by Leonid Andreyev
- Heavy has recurring nightmares of either himself or his teammates being killed.

medic is basically a cat
1: he has 9 lives but lost one
2: there are many situations that he should not have been able to get out of
3: he is kind of friendly towards you when he is on your side but can easily switch sides and stab you in the back

One of my favorite facts about the mercs is how Medic's blatant ignorance of the hypocratic oath does not mean he doesn't have at least some inkling of how very odd his life is; as when Pauling asks how Medic is reviving them just by pouring a mix of the partially incongruous blood types into each of their bodies; he lightheartedly acknowledges it makes no sense and shouldn't be working. Then when she tries to parse the non-existent logic he becomes very serious about not questioning it in the moment.

I'm pretty sure medic does have formal training, because in the meet the heavy video he says "anyways, that's how I lost my medical license" which implies he at one point did have it
73 |
I always thought it was really sad that Spy was too scared to confess to scout who he was with his true body, even though it wouldāve been the last thing Scout took in before he died š¢

Demo is really underrated as a character imo in the fandom.
Also! The Eyelander is sentient, can talk, watches bad ghost dramas with Demo, and apparently likes churros.
2.8K |
I think it's also worth mentioning that rumors started appearing after Scout's official name was revealed that he was named after Jerma985, a popular TF2 YouTuber at the time who now streams on Twitch and uploads the cut-down streams to his second channel, 2ndJerma. Years later it was confirmed that those rumors were true by one of the TF team members and one of the artists for the comics.
1.5K |
I just love how Pyro is almost entirely unknown about, and nobody else knows anything about him except for maybe his family or Miss Pauling, that is if he even has a family, knowing how crazy TF2 story can be. Pyro is definitely my favorite character story wise, due to just everything about him.

MEDIC'S MEDICAL LICENCE - Official trading card (2008): wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Medic_card_front.jā¦ - Official website (2011): www.teamfortress.com/classes.php?class=medic - NECA action figure box (2018): m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yDaDQv7qL._AC_SL1500ā¦ "What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine..." - Meet the Medic short (2011) Medic: "When the patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again!" [Laughs madly] [Heavy pauses momentarily, and laughs again, banging his palm on a tray of surgical tools next to him] Medic: "Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license, heh." Given how the scene in Meet the Medic is delivered much like the punchline to a joke compared to the above sources which are intentionally player profiles and much more consistently repeated by Valve, it makes a lot more sense for those to be considered "canon". But if you want to eat your cake and have it too, the profiles say he has no "verifiable" medical training, so you could argue that the license he refers to could plausibly be an "unverifiable" one, thus both canons can exist as one. Hooray, everyone wins!
