Trivia

  • The deerstalker is a hat generally worn for stalking deer, as its name implies. However, it's most commonly associated with fictional English private detective Template:W, who is usually depicted as wearing one (although he was never officially described as doing so).
  • Private Eye is slang for Template:W. The term was made popular in detective movies.
  • The Private Eye was originally designed for the Demoman and the name "Private Eye" was in reference to his one good eye.
