Mikhail, known as Heavy, is a prominent character from Valve's popular team-based first-person shooter, Team Fortress 2. He's identifiable by his massive size, thick Russian accent, and unwavering devotion to his custom-modified Minigun, affectionately named "Sasha."

Born and raised in the Soviet Union, Heavy and his family faced considerable hardship. The specifics of his pre-Team Fortress days are shrouded in mystery, often hinted at through in-game dialogue and promotional comics. He is confirmed to have many siblings.

Heavy's gameplay revolves around being a formidable damage dealer and tank. He uses Sasha to suppress enemies and hold strategic positions, although his large frame and slow movement speed make him vulnerable to flanking maneuvers. He is often paired with the Medic class to maintain his health and offensive output.

Beyond his combat prowess, Heavy is portrayed as a surprisingly gentle and philosophical character. He has a fondness for small animals and displays a surprising level of intelligence, particularly regarding strategy and weaponry. His iconic lines and imposing presence have made him a fan-favorite within the Team Fortress 2 community.
