Jeremy, better known as the Scout, is one of the main protagonists from the 2007 video game Team Fortress 2, serving as one of the nine playable classes.
A scrapper and baseball fan from Boston, Massachusetts, as well as the youngest child in his family, the Scout is the fastest mercenary on the battlefield, Using his speed and his double jump to his advantage in order to leave slower opponents struggling to keep up. Carrying a Scattergun, a metal bat, and a pistol, the Scout is ideal for aggressive fighting and flanking, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. He is an excellent choice for completing objectives quickly as he can capture control points really quickly and push payload carts at the rate of two players.
He is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein, who also voiced The Church Guy in Left 4 Dead.
History[]
The Scout, under his real name Jeremy, was born in the southern side of Boston, Massachusetts to his mother and his "unknown" father. He has seven older brothers, thus making the Scout the youngest out of all of the siblings in his family. According to his biography, at a young age he mostly solves all of his problems using only his fists. Furthermore, As fights in his family usually tend to end before he, as the smallest and weakest sibling, could even maneuver punching distance, the Scout began training himself to run full-time, in which he ran everywhere until he could beat all of his siblings. As revealed in the comic Blood in the Water, the disappearance of his father is a painful memory to the Scout, as he becomes upset and uncomfortable whenever this would be talked about. He even stated that his father is dead, despite having never met him in the past.
In 1968, the Scout was hired to become a mercenary in order to continue the land war between Mann brothers Blutarch & Redmond Mann. When he learned that the Spy has a romantic relationship with his mother, this caused the Scout to have vivid nightmares that the Spy is his biological father. In 1971, after the Mann brothers were murdered by their younger brother Gray Mann and the latter sends in his army of robots to destroy all Mann. Co worldwide, the Scout was rehired in the comic A Fate Worse Than Chess by Saxton Hale, who was busy wrestling a yeti in the Himalayas, to fight off the robot army. A year later, Scout was fired from his job by Gray Mann after he and his daughter Olivia Mann took over Mann Co..
Later, Scout helped the Soldier in moving out of his castle, which originally belonged to Merasmus. During that time, the Soldier accidentally broke the Scout's arms and they have to be put in casts. After a while, the Scout came across the Spy, who is leaving in his car to catch his jet flight. Though the latter advised that they and the team had to lay low for a while, a panicking Scout tells him that he needs help in getting all of his savings from the Teufort bank. Unwilling to help, Spy advised that he should have gotten a Swiss bank account before bidding him goodbye. Before he could leave in his car, however, Scout began to panic even more, as he knew that his mom will get angry at him if she finds out that her son had lost all of his savings. To the latter's joy, the Spy changes his mind and begrudgingly allows the Scout to hitch a ride in his car to get to the bank. There, Scout reveals to the Spy his collection of memorabilia. When he was asked on where his money, the Scout revealed that he spent it all on the memorabilia and excitedly tells the Spy that they'll become a worth a fortune when the singer dies (who was coincidentally killed by Soldier just 5 months later).
Really annoyed by this and oblivious of Tom's Jones' death, Spy grumbled that the welsh singer isn't going to die, as he in his twenties while Scout tells him that he is playing the long game. While the two were preoccupied on what they are going to do with the Tom Jones memorabilia, they are suddenly caught by two police officers, who were sent by the corrupt mayor of Teufort, Mayor Mike, in catching Scout and Spy. They were then locked in the safe until further notice before being arrested and taken to prison. During their time in jail, Scout began preparing for court by practicing on speaking appropriately before the judge.

Trivia[]

However, it is possible that he did something to make himself look silly, causing her to break up with him before he could actually get laid, or the scene was just the Scout's bluff, thus remaining a virgin.
- However in TF2 Comics #6, when Scout is with God, it is implied again he is a virgin.
- The Scout is the fastest class in Team Fortress 2, with a base speed of 133%.
