Merasmus the Magician

Merasmus the Magician is a character from the Team Fortress 2 game.

Merasmus has a connection with Demoman in the origin of MONOCULUS; however, he most often appears as Soldier's long suffering former roommate. His appearances in comics or other media are usually related to releases of paranormal or haunted Halloween maps, with Soldier’s actions generally being the reason the mercenaries end up fighting there.

Personality
Merasmus acts nice despite being an evil wizard.

Merasmus may be quite silly at times, but if you manage to anger him enough to act, his wrath is a very dire thing indeed. It even comes up in his boss fight, as he plays his own brand of prop hunt with the teams if he isn’t taking on both of them at once and massacring them.

Abilities
Merasmus is a competent wizard, but not a  stellar  one, he is also the owner and host of the Carnival of Carnage, a summoner of both MONOCULUS in Eyeaduct and the Horseless Headless Horsemann in the Bumper Car games, and the keeper and wielder of Bombinomicon.

Trivia

 * Merasmus is the magician that the RED Soldier angered, causing both teams to be sent back in time to DeGroot Keep.
 * Merasmus' model uses the Sniper's animations, though he uses the Heavy's when the dance card is selected.
 * Marasmus is a medical condition characterized by emaciation and wasting, generally caused by malnutrition. The name of the disease in turn comes from the Greek word marasmos, meaning "decay". Zepheniah Mann stated in his will he contracted this disease while traveling to his new land in America.
 * Merasmus' Prop spell is a reference to a community game mode called Prop Hunt. Prop Hunt is a server-side mod where the players on one team are disguised as props and find a place to hide, and the other team searches for them.
 * In Grave Matters, Merasmus' arms are covered with tattoos, one appearing in the form of Soldier's class emblem; these tattoos are not seen in the preceding Doom-Mates or the following Blood Money.
 * A running gag in the comic series is certain strangers mistaking Merasmus' unconventional robe as a “dress” and so address him as “ma’am” or “lady”.
 * Merasmus's voice actor, Nolan North has the birthday on 31st October, the same day as the Halloween day.
