Soldier (Classic)

Ross, also known as the Soldier, is a mercenary who was hired by Reliable Excavation & Demolition and Builders League United in 1930 to continue Redmond and Blutarch's neverending war to seize the land left to them by their deceased father.

History
Ross is heavily inferred to be romantically involved with Greg (TFC Scout).

In A Cold Day in Hell, Scout and the rest of the Team Fortress Classic mercenaries (minus their medic) appear, willing to help Gray Mann find the Administrator and the current Team Fortress mercenaries.

While preparing to repel the TF2 mercs, Ross and Greg have a personal talk about their future. Ross tells him that they should just do their jobs while Greg argues that neither of them are truly happy with their work and that they should consider quitting. The two come to the agreement that when they feel like retiring, they would open an orphanage in Newark. Both then diabolically grin, with Greg saying that this would give them "an endless supply of free kids" to make use of, before he notes that his partner is soaked in gas. Having watched them from a pipe above, a hitherto hidden Pyro lights his flamethrower, killing them in the ensuing inferno.

It remains somewhat ambigious how they intended to exploit the orphans. It's widely assumed that the pair were pedophiles and planned to systematically molest them, though other motives like child labor and human trafficking are also possiblities. In any case, their expressions showcased that they did not have good intentions.
