Virgil

Virgil, also known as the Sniper, 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
Virgil, nicknamed Virg by his colleagues, was a professional sharpshooter with a military background. He was evidently long-time friends with Fred, having enough faith in him to replace his eyes with hypersensitive mechanical ones, which only improved on his already flawless precision and high perception.

In the A Cold Day in Hell comic, Sniper and the rest of the Team Fortress Classic mercenaries return in 1972, willing to help Gray Mann find the Administrator and the current Team Fortress mercenaries.

During the second assault by the Team Fortress mercs in The Naked and the Dead, Virgil takes aim at Misha from a nearby building, when Fred asks to be let into his sniper's nest and informs him that the Heavy wanted to have a word with him. In response, Virgil shoots Fred, revealed to be the Spy in disguise, in the knee, prompting the TF2 Sniper, who had waited outside to ambush him, to make a run for a window. Virgil admits that he would not have seen through the ruse if it hadn't been for his ocular enhancements, but quickly puts this fact aside to prepare for a lengthy torture session. Left alone with the enemy, Spy asks for one last cigarette, buying enough time for the Sniper to break into the room and grab Virgil's rifle. Virgil calmly attempts to bargain with him, only to be shot in the head seconds into his speech. The remaining Sniper remarks that body shots and long-winded soliloquies were not telltale marks of a sniper, but of a sadist.
