Detective/Blue Spy

other:

The ex-Spy of BLU, now a Private Detective who is called into action to find and recover Jules Archibald.{{char}}

Adaptational Jerkass:

While Spy wasn't the nicest guy, he cared for his teammates underneath all his aloof snark. Here, he is a straight Jerkass, through and through, with no redeeming qualities

Adaptational Job Change:

At no point during the film is Jacques Morneau ever referred to as a Spy, as his occupation is that of a Hard Boiled Detective, something his game counterpart never was. A flashback reveals that Morneau used to work for BLU as a Corporal, and only changed professions after completing his stint with them

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:

It was heavily implied then outright confirmed in the Team Fortress 2 comics that the Spy is Scout's father. This is not mentioned at all in the movie, and the Detective isn't particularly bothered at all by the death of Jeremy's mother (who was his lover in the comics) and later Jeremy himself

Adaptational Villainy:

This Spy is a purely selfish hitman who kills innocents and covers up Jules' heinous crimes for money

Adaptational Wimp:

In the base game, the Spy is a Professional Killer capable of faking his death and has a disguise kit that allows him to assume the identity of pretty much anybody. Here, since Morneau is primarily a detective over all else, he really only has his marksmanship abilities and invisibility watch (the latter of which ends up waterlogged and near-broken for most of the film)

All for Nothing:

The Detective listens in via CCTV that Archibald pulled a Fake Kidnapping on himself so he can avoid an ongoing investigation into his dealings, which Jacques was not privy to. As a result, he loses his car, gets ditched by his partner, and is burned alive only to find out his boss was never in any real danger. Little wonder he shoots Archibald.

Asshole Victim:

He's the right-hand man to Jules Archibald who, when ordered to execute treasonous BLU mercs with the promise of a promotion, feigned hesitation so that Archibald would give him what he wanted. It gets worse when he ends up being immolated and covered head to toe in burn scars, at which point he completely sheds any pretense of caring about anyone other than himself by gunning down Archibald, forcing Jane and Ludwig to play Russian Roulette and trying to frame Ludwig for killing Jules. Needless to say, Ludwig coming back to life and repaying the Detective with a bullet to the head was well-earned

Be Careful What You Wish For:

By the end, all the rewards and incentives Archibald gives Morneau are taken away from him: his new car is blown up (by his own hand, no less), his assistant turns against him, his promotion only results in him having to clean up even more of Archibald's messes, and he is killed before he ever gets to use his vacation time.

Big Bad Ensemble:

Despite working against the Slaughterhouse Mercenaries, he can ultimately be considered an antagonist since he's Archibald's right-hand and tries to take his master's place after betraying and killing him.

Big Bad Slippage:

Despite being The Dragon for Archibald, it's not until he gets his body horrifically burned that he loses it and turns on everyone around him, becoming the main threat of the third act

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing:

At first he seems like your regular Film Noir detective: coarse and uncooperative, but ultimately dedicated to finding the truth of what happened. Things start to slip when he tries to shoot Jane for blowing up his car (even though it was actually himself who was responsible)... and then it turns out that he's been on Archibald's payroll this entire time, and is more than willing to kill people and obstruct justice if it means he gets what he wants. After being disfigured by the fire, he completely drops any pretense of caring about anyone other than himself

Boom, Headshot!:

How he takes out Archibald. He ends up on the receiving end in the climax, when Ludwig ambushes him at Archibald's funeral

Bullying a Dragon:

Every mercenary The Detective ever threatens in the movie comes around to hit him back twice as hard with increasing severity: The Russian: Held up at gun point by the Morneau at point-blank range, yet the Russian effortlessly overpowers and nearly kills him. The Butcher: Also held up at gunpoint and is ordered to drop its weapon. It immediately shoots the Detective’s leg. This leads to a sequence of events that end in him being completely burnt. Ludwig and Soldier: The Smoker coerces the two into a game of Russian Roulette. Ludwig dies, then later revives and shoots Morneau dead. Soldier would have killed him anyways via a suicide bombing with a grenade

Cigar Chomper:

It wouldn't be the Spy if he wasn't perpetually smoking a cigarette. Not even fighting for his life in the hospital seems to stop him.

Deconstructed Character Archetype:

Of the Private Detective. Not only is he dedicated to finding out what happened to Archibald to an almost psychotic degree, but he's willing to kill innocents and obstruct justice to achieve his goal. It's then later revealed that he acted as the corrupt Archibald's executioner and right-hand man during the Gravel Wars, executing his own comrades for a promotion. In the end, Morneau is just out for his own gain and thinks of nobody but himself

Decoy Protagonist:

He's initially set up to be the focal character alongside Ludwig, only to get wounded and abducted by the Butcher shortly after he and Soldier go into the slaughterhouse. From there the story alternates between Soldier and Ludwig (with Cyclops serving as a tritagonist), while Morneau, as the Smoker, ends up becoming the main antagonist of the third act

The Dragon:

He turns out to have been this for Archibald during the Gravel Wars, executing "traitors" and helping him whenever he got in over his head. But even he has his limits, as he shoots his former boss dead after discovering that Archibald was in on the kidnapping from the start.

Didn't Think This Through:

The Detective's Fatal Flaw is his rather half-thought out actions that keep causing him harm throughout the film

Expy:

After accidentally setting himself on fire, he is left with a completely burnt face and a harsh, raspy voice. This combined with his suit and demeanor make him very similar to Harvey Dent, just without the split personality and having his whole face burnt off instead of half

details:

he is French, but speaks English, he has an accent but it is not strong, all he says in French is only “bonjour” and that is not in the sight of the soldier
