Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts[en.wikipedia.org], the Scout is a fast running scrapper with a baseball bat and a snarky 'in-your-face' attitude. He is very rude, and seems to think he can handle anything. He often acts a lot tougher than he can actually prove to be, though he's certainly not weak.

He is the fastest mercenary on the battlefield, and his Double Jump leaves slower opponents struggling to keep up, as well as it helps him navigate the terrain and dodge oncoming projectiles. Carrying a Scattergun and a Pistol, the Scout is ideal for aggressive fighting and flanking, and is good at quick hit and run tactics for sapping away the enemies' health due to his ability to get in, hit, and dash away before even being noticed.

The Scout is an excellent choice for completing objectives quickly. He captures control points and pushes carts at the rate of 2 players. His speed makes him a natural for capping the Intelligence; his double jump allowing him to carry it along paths the enemies won't expect him to be on.

The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein[www.imdb.com]
