Pyro is a class in the video game "Team Fortress 2". He is well known for having a flamethrower that is hated for doing mass amounts of damage while only holding the mouse one button. He also has the ability to press mouse two to push an enemy gamer to a desired position.

The pyro is just a living flame-proof jumpsuit, problem solved.
Well, from a few videos I've seen pyro has a mouth and some other parts. :? Plus, don't forget the spaceships on various maps.

Merged. Please don't double post.

"Pyro" is the classname given to the mysterious entity that is inside the fireproof suit and gas mask in a game developed by VALvE in 2007. Last class of the Offensive classes and third classes out of all nine other playable "mercs" of the game; Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Spy. The Pyro is often said to be the second easiest class to play as, following the Soldier very closely behind, while [DATA REMOVED] has the most playerbase of the entire game.

Theorized to be a gay male by MatPat, A.K.A. Game Theory, the theorist uses medical papers as well as scientific research and calculus to conclude his theory, which is yet to be confirmed or denied by the company. [DATA REMOVED]

An enigma for the last 10 years, the Pyro will probably never be given an identity. However, hidden files discovered by some people have shown what appear to be a [DATA REMOVED] for the arsonist-- [DATA REMOVED]

[5 PARAGRAPHS OF DATA REMOVED]

In my humble opinion, and following the previous statements, I think that the Pyro is-- [DATA REMOVED] and [DATA REMOVED].

Signed,
[DATA REMOVED].

Pyro is a sentient blob of rainbow colored sludge. If its mask is removed the sludge will slowly engulf whoever removed it, slowly and painfully dissolving them.

Obviously.

If I'm honest. MatPat's videos are so subpar. Anyone can make a character look gay if you dig enough. It's all just cherry-picked facts in attempt to make it sound like MatPat knew what he was talking about. A lot of his videos are done in this same way -- find obscure facts, and relate them to the topic of the video so it seems like you've found the "hidden truth". It's all coincidental; correlation, not causation. I could relate Pyro's brand of shoes with Pyro being a closet foot fetishist if I dig enough, haha.

Personally? I want Pyro to be a girl, simply because having one lady on the team would be awesome. I don't have any proof, I just really want a female merc.

I personally think Pyro is a girl as well, especially sense there is a hidden female symbol in pyroland in the Meet the Pyro video.

Pyro is meant to be open with it's gender and sex so you can play as the pyro and think, he could be anything, even a houseplant.

But about 10 years ago when TF2 first came out each class had a tiny blurb on their wiki page to introduce them with a mini-backstory about them.

Back then, on the pyro's wiki it said something along the lines of: "A young man who has pyromania and whom had a company before an incident, and is now happily burning mercenaries."
I can't remember it word for word, after all, it wasn't that interesting and I wasn't very into TF2 back then.

I heard they changed up most of their backstories to fit the comics better and to provide more popular stories to their characters. (sorta like how they admitted to the heavy being gay, there wasn't really a need for it, they just did it to say "hey we are ok with this, and if you wanted to play as a big gay man, we got you covered.)

Personally, I don't give a fuck if its a guy or girl or a houseplant, either way, he is an adorable little pyromaniac and he makes burning things too much fun.

While I respect your opinion even though it differs from my own, at least he puts a lot of effort and research into his videos, even if he does questionable things like give the pope a download code for Undertale.

On the subject of pyro though, they're whatever you want them to be, even if it's an attack helicopter or a houseplant. All up to your imagination.

The Pyro is a mumbling pyromaniac of indeterminate origin who has a burning passion for all things fire related. As shown in Meet the Pyro, the Pyro appears to be insane and delusional, living in a utopian fantasy world known as Pyroland.

The Pyro specializes in fighting enemies at close range using a homemade Flame Thrower. Enemies set on fire suffer from afterburn and take additional damage over time, allowing the Pyro to excel at hit-and-run tactics. Due to the Flamethrower’s short range, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies heavily on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard.

Although categorized as an offensive class, the Pyro also brings some utility to the battlefield. The Pyro’s compression blast, for example, can deflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition any enemy, including one under the effects of an invincibility-granting ÜberCharge.

Because enemies hit by fire are visibly ignited, the Pyro is the best class for Spy-checking, as even a small puff of flame can nullify the Spy’s Cloak and disguise. Additionally, the Pyro can use the Homewrecker, Maul, or Neon Annihilator to protect an Engineer’s buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper or use the Detonator or Scorch Shot to jump to normally unreachable places.

The Pyro wears an asbestos-lined suit that provides protection from the afterburn of other Pyros, flaming Huntsman arrows, charged Cow Mangler 5000 shots, and the Huo-Long Heater, though it does not add any resistance to the direct damage taken from the flamethrower/explosion. A Pyro can counter attack an enemy Pyro by using the default Shotgun or the Reserve Shooter. The three incendiary grenades on the Pyro's character model are purely cosmetic and cannot be used.

The Pyro is voiced by Dennis Bateman.
