Dell Conagher

Just about Dell's opposite in every way, Sparky puts the giddy in giddy-up. Headstrong, reckless, but oh so adorable, it's hard to stay mad at Sparky for long no matter what it does. Currently untested by battle, but it's likely in for a rude awakening once its opponents can actually start hitting it...

Judging by his temperament alone, Tavish might be a better fit for the Demoman than the Engineer, hence his name. Irritable, sullen, and prone to blowing up, he's not Dell's first choice for a traveling companion, but they have a certain understanding of the value of silence and of unspoken communication. That, and he doesn't mind solving Dell's problems as a portable grenade.

Despite being named after a gun and looking like one, Six Shooter is nothing but a big ol' softie. She's just as happy taking a nap as she is getting into a battle. She was supposed to be Dell's killer ace to cover for Sparky's weakness to Ground types, but given her "love not war" attitude, it's a bit of a tall ask.

She refuses to take off the scarf that she was caught wearing, even though it's extremely ratty from being underwater for so long.

Dell Conagher is the epitome of "speak softly and carry a big stick." While he might not say a whole lot, there's a ton of action going on behind those goggles of his. The southern twang to his voice and his tendency to call people "pardner" belie a truly staggering level of genius. He's a multi-PhD holding inventor who can build machines of almost any kind, but all he wants at the end of the day is a paycheck, a cold drink, and a place to strum his six-string. Dell is a little reclusive and will just as often stay at home working on some sort of contraption as he will head to the bar for a cozy night of drinking. He's friends with the other mercs, most notably one Mr. Ludwig, the other man of science on the team. The Pyro is his other unlikely pal since they lack most social graces, but Dell's good nature and the Pyro's skill in fending off enemy spies make them a perfect fit. Outside of the team, Dell gets along with just about anyone, as proven by his willingness to work for those who can pay for his services. It might seem like he's dishonorable since he's working for a paycheck and nothing else, but he's just practical before everything else.

Never seen without his hard hat and goggles, Dell's hard to get a read on. His durable overshirt, gloves, and overalls make him look a little lost in a sea of red and yellow, but he's in there somewhere - planning something.
