Mick Mundy, born Mun-Dee and better known as the Sniper, is a major protagonist and one of the nine playable classes in Team Fortress 2. 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. Traditionally uses the sniper rifle, though he can also equip a bow and arrow.

He was voiced by John Patrick Lowrie, who also voiced Hermes T. Haight in The Suffering and Commissioner Kinsler in Halo 3: ODST.

Biography[]

Under his birth name Mun-Dee, the Sniper was born in the underwater country of New Zealand to Bil-Bel and Lar-nah. 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. They then proceeded to give him his adopted name, which is still unknown and in his adulthood he is mostly known as Mr. Mundy.

Having been raised by his adoptive parents throughout his childhood. the Sniper likes to spend his time outdoors and hiding in bushes while 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 pay phone or mail. In 1971, during the war Robot Wars, he fought against Gray Mann's robot army with his team, in which they secured victory after victory. Eventually after he and the other mercenaries were fired by Gray, after he took over Mann Co., thanks to his daughter Olivia, 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.

When Miss Pauling and the Demoman arrived and began looking through his parents' house, Sniper emerges from the shadows and sedates the Demoman, Taking both him and Miss Pauling captive. Ten minutes later, when Demoman regains consciousness, he is immediately sedated again a few seconds later. When Miss Pauling demanded the Sniper if he poisoned him, he revealed that he just gave him some of his family's moonshine liquor. He further reveals that he is adopted and that Jonathan and Mrs. Mundy are not his birth parents. When Miss Pauling tells him that she and Demoman were going to meet his real parents, he immediately snaps out of his hostile state and was left in shock, as he was injected with wolfsbane while he was tying Miss Pauling up. Immediately joining her, he, along with Demoman, Pyro, Soldier, and Zhanna, travelled to New Zealand by submarine. There, in a sealed laboratory, he was reunited with Bil-Bel and Lar-Nah, the latter whom had become an alcohol addict. When Bil-Bel asked his son on how he returned from space, the Sniper tells him that he never reached space and his rocket just crashed. When his father wondered on how he survived being burned by magma, as he had calculated that it will cover the earth, the Sniper reveals that there is no magma covering the earth, which left Bil-Bel speechless. The latter then proceeded to ask him for money, as it was what he has been waiting to ask. Annoyed, the Sniper did just that.

However, seconds after he gave some money to his father, he watched in shock as his mother blasted off into space with the last of his father's rocket ships, which was painted with a faction of the last cache of Australium. As the area is rapidly flooding with water, Sniper wondered on where his dad. When Miss Pauling tells the latter that he is still in the lab and that he'll die if he goes back to rescue him, the Sniper brushed it off. However, before he could even go and rescue his father, the Soldier points out that he is at their submarine, which he then took for himself. After Bil-Bel departed, the Sniper felt hurt by this, as he believed that his birth father had left him and the others to die. However, he is soon overjoyed when a submarine enters and he assumed that he had come back, or so he believes it to be. When he saw that the submarine is not the one his father had taken, he was immediately riddled with bullets, leaving the Sniper in critical condition. When the TFC mercenaries revealed themselves along with the Medic, who had unexpectedly joined them, the Sniper immediately noticed this before dying from his wounds.

The Medic proceeded to take the Sniper's body to the morgue of Gray Gravel Co, the island headquarters of Gray Mann, where he proceeded to stitch up his dead teammate's wounds. Meanwhile, in Heaven, the Sniper reunites with his adoptive parents. When he insisted that he wanted to stay with them, Mrs. Mundy lovingly tells him that though they wanted him to stay there is still some unfinished business left on earth. Jonathan, agreeing with her and now approving of his adopted son's profession as an assassin, insists that he return to earth and give his enemies hell. Upon regaining his life back, the Sniper, in his wrath, proceeded to grab the Medic by the neck. When he accused his old teammate of killing him, the Medic denies this and states that he was just beside the person who killed him. The Sniper didn't believed him and reveals that as he was dying he saw him give a smug and evil smile. After the Medic then confesses that he was just happy to see him again, the Sniper demanded on why he joined the TFC mercenaries and the Medic explained his reasons on why he joined them. When the former wondered on how long he has been dead, the Medic reveals that it was just for 12 hours. This caused the Sniper to realize that his brief reunion with his adoptive parents was real and he proudly tells the Medic that he is now the "Most Dangerous Bloody Man" on the island and no longer fears death.

When the TFC Heavy discovered that the Sniper is alive, he proceeded to berate the Medic for his actions. As he was dealing with the latter, the Sniper proceeded to escape unnoticed, which ended up triggering the alarm.

Biography[]

While the Sniper tends to keep back from the frontlines, the Huntsman makes it more reasonable to move up the field, laying down suppressing volleys of arrows. He can also use his Jarate and Sydney Sleeper to increase damage dealt against his foes by himself and teammates alike. They can also be used to put out burning teammates.

In Meet the Director his last name is revealed to be Mundy, but his first name is still unknown. However, his original birth name was revealed to be Mun-Dee in Blood In The Water.

Blood In The Water revealed that Sniper is actually a New Zealander and the Mundys aren't Sniper true biological parents. He was born in the Atlantis-like New Zealand shortly before their undersea city began flooding. He was unintentionally sent on his father's one seat escape rocket while his parents were fighting over it, which later crash landed in Australia where he was adopted. His parents miraculously survived as their lab didn't flood. His father later escaped on the submarine the Team used to reach New Zealand on their hunt for the last reserves of australium, while his mother left on the rocket painted with said last reserve of australium. Their current whereabouts are unknown.

Personality[]

TF2 Sniper sniping the BLU team

Sniper doing about his job as an assassin and mercenary.

The Sniper is an outdoorsman who loves 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 and while sniping is highly quiet, calm, collected, and focused. He is also very patient as he would not hesitate to wait for hours, even as the sun sets, until he finally kills his target. Despite his status as a deadly mercenary, he proved to be quite an oddball as he would urinate in small jars while on the job and then use them as a weapon on his targets.

Despite having a tensed conflict with his adoptive father over his job, the Sniper loves both him and his adoptive mother and would always keep in touch with them. This love extended to the point where after the Sniper died, after he succumbed to the wounds that had been inflicted on him in the comic Blood In The Water, he begged to stay with his adoptive parents in Heaven. After they died and he now has to live alone ever since he was fired by Gray Mann, he had gone bush in which he became reclusive and took on a hostile approach towards anyone who enters his home, even his own teammates and employers. He eventually snapped out of it and was stunned when Mrs. Pauling revealed that she and the team were going to look for his birth parents and after he was also injected with wolfsbane.

After his birth father left him to die with his team as his lab was being flooded with water, the Sniper was visibly hurt by this but it turn to joy when a submarine arrived and he believed that his father has come back. However, it immediately turned to dismay when he realized that the submarine is piloted by the TFC Mercenaries along with the TF2 Medic. If someone on his team had either betrayed him or is working with his enemies, he becomes infuriated and vengeful. This is clearly shown in the comic Old Wounds, after he has revived by the TF2 Medic, he, in a fit of rage, grabs him by the neck and accuses him of murdering him, as he suspected it after he noticed that his old teammate gave him a smug evil grin right before he died. It eventually lessened when the Medic revealed his reason on joining the TFC Mercenaries.

After the Sniper finally gained the approval of his adoptive father and realized that his reunion with his adoptive parents was all real, he became more confident and proud of his new status as the "most dangerous man on the planet".

Trivia[]

  • Sniper shares some similarities with Demoman, both have a UK related accent, both are highly arrogant and both are obsessed with their jobs.
  • Sniper and Medic are the only TF2 classes who wear glasses as default.
  • His primary weapon is a laser-sighted sniper rifle, his secondary weapon is a submachine gun, and his melee weapon is a Nepalese made knife called a kukri. He also uses a bow and arrow and jars of urine called Jarate.
  • Since the Sniper is a New Zealander as revealed in current TF2 comic and that the Mundys aren't his real parents, this makes the Sniper their adoptive son. His adoptive parents care much more about him than his biological parents, who were willing to abandon him to certain death both as a baby and an adult.
  • The revelation of Sniper's true birthplace is presumably why he isn't extremely strong and brash like other Australians in the TF2 universe, being unaffected or less affected by Australium in the womb. However, it remains unexplained why his adoptive parents also seem to be normal humans.
  • Despite being a hitman, 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.
  • As shown in "Comic #5: Old Wounds", it is shown that Medic has given Sniper stitches on his torso (Two straight ones on his left side with a Y-shaped stitch on the top of his torso) and one on each arm to sew up his wounds.
  • His origins and on how he got adopted is similar to that of DC superhero Superman.
  • Although never stated in-game, Sniper's full adopted name of 'Mick Mundy' is revealed on the box of his NECA action figure.
