Sniper

Sniper is one of the two protagonists of Gone With the Blastwave and a soldier of the Red Army.

Personality
Sniper seems to be the more trained and organised of the two protagonists and often will point out how illogical any suggested plans are, but nonetheless ends up going along with them.

While more sane and practical than his counterpart, he still (like most of the soldiers in the city) has a pessimistic, sarcastic attitude, and will sometimes do reckless things out of boredom. Still, for the most part, he is fairly cautious and is definitely intelligent. He even shows some concern for the lives of other Reds, getting angry at Pyro when it looked like he was being careless with lives of his squad ( Issue #36 and Issue #41). While he seems more empathetic than Pyro he kills for the "challenge" and openly laughs at a crushed Blue soldier in Issue #12

It was previously believed that Sniper's name is Porter, as seen in Issue #22, however that is false, as the story is not told from Pyro's perspective, and you can see Sniper asking the storyteller if he was sure he knew what he was talking about.

Skills
The Sniper is quite skilled with his rifle. In Issue #2, he shoots off a Blue soldier's gas mask hose, then his filter, and then shoots open a drum containing noxious gas just because he was bored and killing the Blue with bullets was too easy. In Issue #7, he shoots a Blue fighter plane pilot in the head as he was flying, causing the plane to crash into the Blues on the ground (though even the Sniper seemed impressed with himself this time). Overall, he seems to be a very competent soldier, certainly by Red Army standards.

His rifle is a standard issue Red Army rifle, but has a scope. In Issue #53, he replaces his rifle with an identical, but allegedly higher quality Blue Army rifle. His uniform is identical to regular Red Army uniforms; his logo is crosshairs and he wears the motorcycle type helmet.

Behind the Scenes
It was recently confirmed by Morr (creator of the comic) that Sniper's real name is Porter. It was also confirmed that Sniper forgot his own name.
