Shoutout to that one time that I wanted to animate scouts death but never posted about it because I wanted it to be a surprise :7
Spy tf2 and his identity
Character analysis (or at least my vision on him, if you believe my reasoning)
What do we know about Spy? He's a disguise mastermind. He can pretend to be anyone in order to infiltrate into the scene to do his job - quite literally, stab people on the back. But when he's not in the battle, what is he to his teammates? A suave Frenchman, a gentleman with taste, somewhat a leader.
At least, that's the persona he prefers to show. But is he really..?
What if I tell you that this person never drops his disguise?
For a man who always wears a mask and who's identity being secret is a sacred part of his role in this job, isn't this persona too much to show if it is real? Frenchman, rich, ladykiller... Wouldn't it be too easy to decipher his identity with so much clues provided? Wouldn't it be dangerous?
While Miss Pauling and the Administrator definitely know Spy's real identity, hiding it is a major thing for whatever reason. One could assume it might be because of Scout (obvious guess) but I doubt he's a sole reason. Spy very much enjoys being the Spy all by himself. Do what's the deal?
Let's start from the beginning.
Why did Spy join Mann Co. in the first place?
Let's take this assumption as a fact: people come here out of desperation. They are professionals in their field, yet in their past/casual life there is a pattern of them having difficulties that push them into joining this service. I don't see why Spy would be an exception.
The reason for joining is usually money. Some people question why Spy, a wealthy man from higher society, would join Mann Co. if he has it all already.
Well, probably because he really does not.
Have you ever met an aristocrat? Wealthy people don't get so protective about their expensive suits, they can afford cleaning or a new one. Regardless, rich people don't usually get stingy about material goods, especially if they're mass produced.
At least, not those who were born into wealth.
Spy's defensiveness about his "wealthy stuff", his pomp-ness, disgust and arrogance towards "plebs" gives off a man who knows what it means to live in poverty and who doesn't want to be associated with it ever again.
(Not even talking about his own filthy habits such as not washing his mask and pissing on walls? Jesus Christ)
Dare I even guess that he might be not French at all? His French is so broken. (Although, so is Medic's German, but at least he uses his language much more frequently and in more complex sentences, while Spy only uses French to say some basic expressions, occasionally confusing them with other languages). Definitely not a native.
If anything, he's not giving "rich man" at all, he's giving con man. And that fits my picture perfectly.
So, poor upbringing. How old is Spy? If he's Scout's father (and he was young when he was conceived), I'd say he's no less than 20 years older than him. I'd give him a few more years actually. So, approximately Spy is around 50 at the events of the game (1968-1972). Let's assume he was born somewhere in the 1910s.
Even if he's not French, I still agree that he's probably European. Hmm, what was happening in Europe at the time Spy was a kid?
Oh yeah. The Great Depression.
See my picture: imagine, a child from a lower class family during the Great Depression, his parents were most likely to not take good care about him (both because of the economical situation AND as an echo to Spy's struggles with his own fatherhood). He has to run away from home early and start to make money. Any way possible.
Unavoidably, it leads to crime.
Petty theft, blackmail, scams. Changing identities. Selling low quality products and services. Changing identities again. When older, seducing rich women to stay at their homes overnight, be fed and supported. Running away from the police. Walking into a trap of the mafia, and then joining them as their goon.
In this nightmare of a life he just had to keep pretending to be someone else, someone better and stronger, in order to his ego to not completely shutter. He had to imagine he was an invincible mastermind trickster of some sort, not just a poor boo-hoo victim of poverty who has never knew normal life and care.
And if you pretend for long enough, you become your role eventually... Right?
His true self was long lost forgotten under many layers of new identities. Worse, his true self was never known. And he didn't want it to be known in its ugly and disgusting vulnerability. Narcissism became his lifeline.
It's so much better to be Spy. To be rich and elegant and respected. His ego rebuilt.
Regarding the previous post
"A reflection that couldn't reciprocate"
"...He would live a long life, so long as he never got to know himself."

thoughts on ur team’s Demoman?
Tho he’s drunk most of the time and has no sense of boundaries what so ever,, I have a small soft spot for him. He can be very sweet at times, comforting too.
He also has a fat ass. 10/10

heyhey spy!! out of pure curiosity, are you on good terms with scout's mom? if so, how's she doing? and could you tell her i said hi?
I haven’t talked to her since Jeremy’s birthday, last time we talked was just a simple hello.
wait, if you can speak six languages without a notable accent (assuming English is one of them) do you make your French accent notable on purpose?
That’s a good question, I am able to do mimics of different accents but French is the heaviest one. Not only because it is my native language but because of how you must pronounce certain words.
Uh, well, anyways. Brought some creamy salmon soup for you! - Chef Anon
I’m sorry but I do not like soup, but merci for the food :) dell might eat it!
how many languages do you speak and how many of them can you speak without a noticeable accent

MERDE! MON SUIT!
even if he is an idiot its probably expected to end up like that considering how he was raised... plus hes still somewhat young, i think he can still learn. im sure you were just like him when you were young
I was NOTHING like him when I was his age.
I think he might, uh, just be.... energetic? Enthusiastic? He's... not one to look before he jumps, I should say. - Chef Anon
My words exactly except put into a more non harsh way Chef Anon.
Well, I mean, idiot probably isn't the nicest word. - Chef Anon
It’s the PERFECT word.
