The Civilian is only found in "VIP escort" type maps and other special modes. A weak, slow speed character armed with just an umbrella, the functional equivalent of a crowbar, he requires the protection of his teammates in order to complete a map's objectives.
Often referred to by condescending titles, the Civilian has also been heavily used as a generic class in fun or skill maps. These maps are usually an adventure made by custom mappers where players (usually working as a team) are given the basic objective of reaching the end of the map, with various challenges along the way. For unknown reasons, a new model has not been provided for the Civilian. The Civilian is the only player, or class, the Spy cannot disguise as.
