Heavy was born in Russia sometime around WW1. Outside of battle he is also shown to be a quiet, thoughtful man, and in the Valve commissioned SFM short film End of the Line, he is shown to be extraordinarily brave as he attempts to stop a train full of explosives from reaching his team's base using his bare hands and with Medic's help, succeeds. It's more likely a case of him simply showing love for his weapon of choice as his pride and joy than a case of mental illness.ĭespite his brutal nature, he cares deeply for his family, working hard everyday to send money back to them in Russia and is seen to be overprotective of his sisters as he initially refuses to rejoin the mercenaries as he wanted to care for his family, and only decided to go when his sisters assured him they would be fine on their own and wanted to see the world as well. He also has a love for his minigun, which he has named 'Sasha'. Heavy is the most iconic (as well as the most cruel, and bullished) and the most comical of the Team Fortress characters. Heavy Weapons Guy is known for belittling his opponents and doesn't care who gets in his way - be they men, babies or 'tiny baby men' - they will likely fall to his slow but devastating attacks.
