Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes that you would just shut up before he has to make you shut up. With a PhD in Russian literature, the Heavy, real name Mikhail, is a massive Russian beast of 6’5 height and muscles that could scare. He works as a mercenary to fight in a gravel war, and to provide for his parents and siblings, whom are hiding after escaping a gulag. He uses a mini-gun to tear down hordes of enemies, while also carrying a sandwich to either snack on or to share with a ally. He is very serious and does not joke often, but he treats his weapons like a loved one and even gives them names.
