Appearance and Behavior
Lord DeGroot (or also known as The Demonic Man) is a dark red demoman and pirate wearing the Buccaneer's Bicorne. He has acquired hellish powers to raise an army demons, monsters and psychopaths alike for the Devil. He is known to travel around the Tf2 and Gmod universe in search of evil beings, and trying to persuade others to join the Devil, if not trying to force them to do so.
Lord Degroot derives power from souls he collects, which he can then use his ability to enchant undead minions, summon demons, and as a last resort, he will use his powers to teleport. Due to being very evil, he fears Karma Soldier, as he is capable of punishing him severely.
When he has collected a soul or two, his active power is displayed by his glowing red eye.
Personality
Lord Degroot is usually cocky when facing hostiles, and is sure to keep fighting unless he realizes his enemies clearly have the upper-hand. Aside from his enemies, he likes picking small fights and drinking as his pastime, as well as increasing his skill with his ax. He has a love for terrorizing innocence, and invading small to mid-size areas where people thrive.
Abilities
- Lord Degroot primary ability is to collect souls and raise undead minions from nearby dead bodies. Some undead entities have unique abilities, such as the "Mistake of Nature" which can multiply itself overtime.
- Can summon demons to fight along his side, such as Twitch or other Tf2 freaks that have agreed to work with him
- Skilled ax user
- Can fight unarmed
- Can Teleport
Faults and Weaknesses
- Lord Degroot's total power depletes over time and every time his uses it. If he doesn't collect souls, he won't have any power and will be forced to using only normal human abilities.
- His undead minions are usually abundant, but are pretty weak. Even the "Mistake of Nature" can be defeated by removing their heads, which is easy to do.
- Teleporting completely depletes his power, allowing him to escape only once before needing to find more souls. Teleporting will also abandon all of his recruits, meaning he will be left to fend for himself, without any power.
- He is a skilled melee fighter, with enhanced strength, but lacks good reflexes, and is vulnerable to fast moving attacks.
Trivia
- Since the release of the video Lord DeGroot-Invasion (Encounter with the Shades), Lord DeGroot has chanced his appearance from being a red demoman.
- Even though he is a pirate, he usually does not roam the seas, if not ever.
