Predictions of Sniper's personality/backstory???

[Kyle G]

So with the upcoming comic, it seems we will be spending some time with the Sniper this time around as Miss Pauling and the others have just arrived at Australia at the end of the last issue. To me it's unfair that he's one of the characters that Valve has not developed much in the comics. At least until the new chapter comes out. I've always been interested in his character. Ever since watching Meet The Sniper, for me I've seen him as the most relatable of the mercs. A grown man who has attachment issues with his parents, who enjoys being by himself for prolonged periods of time, living in a van with little to no social contact whatsover. I'm interested to see how introverted his personality is. How he interacts with the other mercs. What his chemistry with them plays out. Or if he simply avoids talking to any of them, which may be why he hasn't talked much compared to the others. He could be a man who values his privacy heavily, and enjoys living a simple lifestyle (hence the van). So far the writers have not given him any scene that stands out..

We know Medic and Engie are close science buddies. We know Scout and Spy have an extemely bi-polar Father-Son type of relationship. Demo as crazy as he seems finds Soldier's insanity as aggravating. Heavy fights to ensure that his sisters and mother lead comfortable lives. Pyro views the world as a sugar-coated fantasy land. Engie's grandfather created Blutarch and Redmond's life extender machines. So far we know the other characters well enough except for Sniper. Even Saxton Hale, who isn't even one of the main protagonists, has had more development than Sniper.

There also seems to be alot of interesting backstory behind his character, as we never have gotten an explanation for why he seems to be one of the few Aussies who has had no contact with Australium whatsoever. It's possible he doesn't relate to the other Australians and views their lifestyles as incompatible with his. What do you think of the Sniper and how he will be portrayed in future comics/movies???

In the latest valve movie, sniper had no lines. People theorized that VALVe wants to make Sniper a secretive character. He most likely grew up as an (warning mediocre) orphan trying to get revenge or something and keeps his life pretty personal. And he has ego problems so he pees in :jarate:s

B-but, his parents are still alive. Unless they are somehow not his biological parents?

So Big Boss is Raiden's grandfather?

Sniper was once one of the Australian pioneers of technology, moustache, abs and all.

Then, he discovered the Australian secret. He witnessed it. What he saw would change him forever.

He swore to forget everything and become something else. To not be close to another human, to not let it get into his head ever again. So he lost contact with civilisation.

Now, he has returned from those days of primitivity. He will always be isolated, but he has made an attempt to come back. With a few shots there and there through the heads of his enemies, of course.

Actually I think Hale would dedicate a poem to Sniper describing what a weak, cowardly, not-a-true-Australian he is.

Don't worry, Sniper has a a comic all to himself about how he became a Jarate Master who throws bottles of piss at Spies so we don't need any comic or backstory to him.(sarcasm)

It isn't a scope you're looking down in the end of the last comic. There's no dot or lines.
Those are binoculars, or a telescope.

Uh, no? I just wanted an interesting discussion.

As for the ending of the lastest comic, It could be that scene is tricking us into thinking that's our Sniper who is looking through the scope, but it's actually the TF Classic Sniper ready to assassinate Ms. Pauling. Oh crap that is a scary thought I just had. :o
