	~ The Pyro

The Pyro is one of the 9 playable characters in Team Fortress 2.

Background[]

The Pyro's origin is unknown. All we know is that he was hired alongside the other 8 mercenaries in Team Fortress 2 to fight in the Gravel Wars between Redmond and Blutarch Mann.

Powers and Abilities[]

Afterburn: After lighting people ablaze with his flamethrower, they will burn for 10 seconds after the initial attack.
Compression Blast/Air Blast: An alternate attack method the Pyro's flamethrower possesses. It can push away enemy players, extinguish fires on his teammates, and reflect any projectile that isn't a normal bullet. Extinguishing teammates restores some of Pyro's health.
Flare Jump: With certain secondary weapons, The Pyro can do a short hop by shooting a flare at his feet.
Hadouken: Pyro can do a small Hadouken of fire, which has the potential to instakill, however he must stand completely still to use it.
Armageddon: Pyro creates a ring of fire around him while standing still, killing all that are foolish enough to stand near it.
Gas Blast: Pyro simultaneously jumps and reaches behind their back with both hands to take out a match and a match box, striking the match against the match box and holding the lit match in front of them, staring at the flame for another second before turning around, reaching between their legs to place the match in front of the rear area, and letting loose a magnificent burst of flame while watching over their shoulder.
Respawn: Due to the obsured ridiculous lore of TF2, Respawn is apparently somewhat canon. This means Pyro and his fellow Mercs can comeback to life should they be "killed."
Spellcasting: Thanks to the Spellbook Magazine, Pyro and the other mercenaries are able to find otherwise unobtainable spellbook pages, thanks to which they can perform magic spells. The spells are divided by the rarity of their pages
