Heavy:
Chief god of the Teufort pantheon, Heavy was a towering behemoth of brute strength and destruction, one whose mere presence induced such dreadful intimidation that even friends and allies blanched at his approach. Iron was as straw to him, such was his might, and there were those who dare not mention him by name, lest they attract his unwanted attention. Armed with a powerful minigun, he made for a formidable enemy, though his unbridled joy in bloodshed and carnage caused some followers to question whether they ought to be placing their trust in such a violent deity.
Ironically it was Medic, god of healing, who was Heavy's most constant companion, the two functioning as a single unit time and again throughout a great number of narratives. Because the two represent fundamental opposites, the exact reason for their outstanding camaraderie is not known, though marked similarities in their shadow traits is one possible explanation. Regardless, mercenaries considered their alliance nothing less than legendary, and their rapport the epitome of comradeship.
Concerning Heavy's birth and upbringing, accounts vary from story to story. In some he is birthed by a great bear, while in others by the ice-locked mountains of Russia itself, to be nursed and raised by the beasts. In any case he carried with him a bear's pelt, and it was by donning this pelt that he could transform into one. This and his association with the Russian wild made him all the more fearsome in the eyes of mercenaries. For all the terror he instilled, however, his disposition was ordinarily one of calm, and he broke into tempestuous rages for which he was so well known only when thoroughly provoked. It was with this same ferocity that he protected those he loved and cared about.
Offerings of Sandviches appeased him, and his image is the most common of all the Teufort gods.
