」

ノンプレイヤーキャラクター、または略してNPCとは、 "Team Fortress 2" に登場するキャラクターのうち9人のクラスを除いた人々のことです。彼らの多くはゲームプレイには関係しませんが、ストーリーラインに更に深みを与えています。 ストーリーラインの主要キャラクターは、ゼファナイア・マン、サイラス・マン、ブルターク・マン、レドモンド・マン、グレイ・マン、管理人、ミス・ポーリング、メラスマス、そしてサクストン・ヘイルです。彼らはゲーム内での戦う理由を定義していて、それぞれが広いゲームシステムの中にいくつか登場しています。その他のキャラクターの多くはゲーム背景やストーリー、特にコミックのみに登場することが多く、説明的な台詞や時にはナンセンスにもなるゲームの雰囲気を支えています。

ゼファナイア・マン(Zepheniah Mann)

左から順に: バーナバス・ヘイル、ブルターク・マン、ゼファナイア・マン、マン家の女中エリザベス、レドモンド・マン。右端には正体不明の男が見切れている（当初はサイラス・マンではないかと囁かれたが、後に明らかとなった集合写真の右半分によってその憶測は外れた）。

ゼファナイア・ニオデマス・マン(Zepheniah Nieodemus Mann)は裕福なイギリス人で、彼のバカ息子のブルタークとレドモンドに説かれてアメリカのフロンティアの広大な土地を購入した人物です。彼はその土地が武器製造のための巨大な砂利採取場に変わることを夢見ていました。彼が新たに購入したその土地を見に行くための旅路で、彼は人類が知る限りのあらゆる病気に襲われながらもたどり着きましたが、土地が草一つ生えない何の価値もない砂漠であることを知り衝撃を受けました。遂には病気で剥がれ落ちた自らの皮膚に遺産相続について記した遺言書（日本語訳はこちら）をしたためてこの世を去りました。以下がその要約です:

• 女中エリザベスには権利書、口座、債権、タバコ農園、その他ありとあらゆる財産を相続させました。エリザベスは自らと先祖にとても良く似たヘレン（管理人）を産むことになります。
• 彼の側近兼トラッカー（案内人）として雇われた、サクストン・ヘイルの先祖に当たるバーナバス・ヘイルには、Mann Co.の完全な経営権を相続させました。
• 彼の「ノータリン」の息子であるブルタークおよびレドモンドには「協力関係」を遺しました。息子たちが彼に買わせたすべての土地を彼ら二人に分けることで、終わりなき相続戦争の火種を遺したのです。ブルタークとレドモンドは、1971年に消息不明だった弟のグレイに暗殺されるまで、延命装置を使ってまで生涯争い続けました。
• 遺書の締めくくりは不鮮明です。「終わりに……へ……俺はすべての……お前に遺し……それを保管していることは最大限秘密にすると誓う」と書かれているようです。
  • 別の隠しページで全文が明らかになりました。「最後に俺が全幅の信頼を置くエリザベスへ、お前には俺が貯えていた、バーナバスがオーストラリア大陸への旅行中に発見した『魔法の砂利』を全て遺す。我が息子である軟弱者のグレイが去年現れてコイツを奪おうと脅迫してきやがった。俺はお前にこの砂利を遺し、それを保管していることは最大限秘密にすると誓う」
• 遺書の中ではゼファナイアの兄弟であるサイラス・マンも言及されています。しかし彼は後に開催されたイベントで見つかったもうひとつの破れた写真でのみ、その姿を確認することができます。
• ブログの隠しページでゼファナイアには三人目の息子であるグレイが存在し、ワシに攫われたことが明らかになりました。
  • 加えてこのページではゼファナイアの妻の名がベット・マンであるということも明らかになりました。

彼の遺書では「墓の近くで武器を撃ちあう連中を全員呪い、見たことも無いような恐怖を与えてやる」とも記しています。彼の遺言通り、彼が眠るイベントバージョンのHarvest Eventでは、Ghastly Gibusを被ったゼファナイアの幽霊が定期的に現れます。幽霊の近くへ迷い込んでしまったプレイヤーは数秒間怯えて逃げ出し、Sandmanでスタンさせられたときのようにジャンプや攻撃ができなくなってしまいます。彼とその遺書が初めて言及されたのは幽霊なハロウィンスペシャルにおいてです。ゼファナイアの幽霊はHelltowerの塔でも戦いを見渡しており、傭兵たちによって息子のレドモンドとブルタークが地獄へ送られるさまを見届けています。彼の幽霊は、丑三つ時に差し掛かったときから幽霊の橋が消えるまでの、わずか間は消え去ります。

「

ゼファナイア・マンの兄弟であると推測されているサイラスのマン家における生涯は謎に包まれています。知られていることは、彼は後のMann Co.の前身である「ゼファナイア・マン&サンズ・季刊財団」の共同経営者であるということです。彼が会社に果たした貢献は鍵と名前タグに見て取れます。サイラスは兄弟の死後すぐに亡くなりましたが、死は彼にとっては終わりではありませんでした。彼はHarvest Eventに青く光る幽霊となって現れるゼファナイアのように、Mann Manorをホースレス・ヘッドレス・ホースマンとして徘徊しています。サイラス・マンの写真はScream Fortress アップデートのページの墓石に刻まれた "Silas" の名前をクリックすることで見つかりました。

ブルタークおよびレドモンド・マン(Blutarch and Redmond Mann)

「

俺は時の流れという破滅の使者に立ち向かい、少しでも生命力を保って長生きするためとにかく何もしないという壮大な計画を打ち立てた。俺の部下が成し得なかったことを自然の摂理にやらせようという寸法だ。しかし未だ成し得ないまま終わりを迎えようとしている。そしてあいつは……死ぬことはないだろう。 — 兄弟との争いについて語るブルターク・マン

」

ブルターク・マンとレドモンド・マンはゼファナイア・マンの三つ子のうちの二人です。彼らはそれぞれBLUおよびREDの経営者です。彼ら二人の息子たちは、父が彼らに遺した広大な土地を巡って生涯に渡り争い続けました。ゼファナイア・マンの死後、ブルタークとレドモンドは9人の傭兵たちから成る部隊を雇い、即座に打ち負かして兄弟から土地の権利を奪おうとしました。しかし両部隊の戦力は拮抗していたため、長きに渡る手詰まり状態へと状況が変化し、ブルターク（のちにレドモンドも）はラディガン・カーネガーに生命維持装置を作らせ、兄弟よりも長生きしようとしました。ラディガンはレドモンドとブルタークに同じ機械を作ったため、1968年に入ってもなおも争いは続きました。しかし1971年、ブルタークとレドモンドは騙されて互いとの会合へと誘われ、相続人を産むために休戦しどちらかが妊娠するべきだという提案を打ち明けました。しかしそこにグレイ・マンが現れ、彼は消息不明だった兄弟であることを明かし、二人を暗殺して両社の経営権を握りました。

『Grave Matters』においてブルタークとレドモンドは死後すぐさま幽霊となりました。幽霊になったブルタークは開口一番に兄弟より長生きしたと喜びを口にしましたが、レドモンドはブルタークが死んだ後もまだ血を流していたと返します。小競り合いの後、彼らは弁護士として働いた経験を持つREDのソルジャーの元を訪ね、父の遺した土地はどちらが勝ち取るのかについて法で決着をつけようとします。REDのソルジャーは、彼らは幽霊であり、完全には死んでおらずこの世に留まっている状態であり、どちらかがこの世を去らない限り、土地を勝ち取ることはできないと返します。ブルタークとレドモンドはソルジャーの元を去り、近くの公衆電話から秘書に電話をかけ、前の会社と組織から傭兵を集めさせ、兄弟を地獄送りにしようと企みます。

グレイ・マン(Gray Mann)

グレイ・マン

「

諸君、我が名はグレイ・マン。君たちの弟だ。 — 兄弟に自己紹介するグレイ・マン

」

グレイ・マンはゼファナイア・マンの三人目の息子です。グレイはマン三兄弟の末っ子で最も優秀な頭脳を持ちます。彼は生まれてすぐに言葉を話せましたが、体は最も虚弱でした。言葉を話す様を嫌悪したゼファナイア・マンによって間引きされかけましたが、父が手をかけようとした瞬間、グレイは野生のワシに攫われワシの子として育てられました。成長したグレイは自らを攫った母ワシと子供を殺して食べ、文明社会に這い戻った彼は「グレイ砂利会社」という企業帝国を打ち立てました。ゼファナイア・マンによると、1849年に、グレイ・マンは「奇跡の砂利」の貯えを狙って脅迫してきたとのことです。

1971年に再び姿を見せたグレイは、兄弟と同様に生命維持装置を取り付けていました（ただし兄弟のものより高性能かつ小型で背中に装着するタイプ）。「休戦を申し込む」と偽造した手紙を送りつけ偽の会合を開き、兄弟たちを誘い出したグレイはブルタークおよびレドモンド・マンを暗殺し、それぞれの会社を乗っ取り「グレイ砂利会社」に吸収合併しました。『A Fate Worse Than Chess』の劇中において、グレイは世界中のMann Co.の施設を破壊するためにロボット軍団を作り出しました。サクストン・ヘイルは吸収合併によりクビになったBLUとREDの傭兵たちを再び雇い、ロボットから施設を防衛しました。

1972年、グレイはサクストン・ヘイルとの戦争が、かつて兄弟たちが互いに争った往年の「砂利戦争」と同様に膠着状態に陥ったことを認め、降伏しました。しかし彼はMann Co.の経営方針である「Mann Co.の最高経営責任者を素手で打ち負かした者はMann Co.の経営権を合法的に得ることができる」を利用し、彼の娘であるオリヴィアをサクストン・ヘイルと戦わせました。子どもと戦うことを望まないサクストン・ヘイルはしぶしぶ降伏し、オリヴィアに経営権を譲りました。

半年後、オーストラリウムを燃料とするグレイの生命維持装置は底をつきかけていました。切羽詰まったグレイはMann Co.のオーストラリウム保管庫を開けますが、中は空であり、保管庫に残された煙草の吸殻から、オーストラリウムはAdministratorによって盗み出されたのだろうと推測します。彼はAdministratorの捜索とオーストラリウムの回収のために正体不明の私兵集団を雇います。『A Cold Day in Hell』の劇中において、グレイが管理人の捜索のために雇ったこの集団は "Team Fortress Classic" の傭兵たちであることが明かされました。

• グレイが初めて登場したのはTF2公式ブログのバナーの血染みにリンクが隠された出生証明書においてです。
• また、上述の隠しリンクが追加された後すぐ、ゼファナイア・マンの遺書の後半部分が公開され、砂で解読できなかった部分の記述はグレイ・マンに関するものであることが分かりました。

• グレイは『Blood Brothers』の劇中において兄弟であるブルタークとレドモンドを暗殺しました。
• 彼はREDおよびBLUのスパイに似た特性を有しています。
• 『Loose Canon』の最後のページに描かれた生命維持装置の仕様書に、ラディガン・カーネガーが装置を作成した相手とその日付が記されています。リストによると、1874年7月17日にブルタークへ、1874年8月3日にレドモンドへ、（年号不詳）4月14日に匿名の三人目、おそらくグレイに向けて作成したようです。
• 彼は未だに自らの両足で立て、髪も残っているため、兄弟に比べて健康に齢をとったようです。その秘密はおそらく純粋なオーストラリウムコアで動作する改良版の生命維持装置のおかげでしょう。
• Smissmas 2012 アップデート期間中に発表された『The Shadow Boxers』の劇中において、グレイ・マンは「グレイ砂利会社」を所有していることが明らかとなりました。同社のロゴは Gravel Pit および Frontier のマップで確認できます。

The Director is a somewhat arrogant filmmaker. Hired by the Administrator.The Director is responsible for The Meet The Team Series, the Director was meant to spy on the mercenaries, so the Administrator could use something they said against them later if need be. However, he was led to believe he was filming them to show the people of Badlands that they weren't "just armed psychopaths blowing up all their landmarks on a daily basis".

Once the Administrator believed she had gained proper leverage over her employees, she ordered Miss Pauling to assassinate the Director. Miss Pauling brought the Director out to a mine under the guise that the Administrator was waiting for her interview there, with a bag of quicklime and a shovel secretly tucked away in the bed of her truck. The Director's current status is unknown, though he is presumed to be dead after his "interview" with the Administrator.

During a fatal mineshaft collapse, which resulted in the death of fourteen workers, Bilious was able to escape by punching it open, gaining him more fame from the press. During the March of 1922, Bilious Hale shut down the coal mine and coal-powered munitions factory 50 years after it was founded. However, one of the rooms was left as a "historic storage closet" under the reasoning that the objects left in it were not presently needed, but kept for a future time for when they may be. During his lifetime, Bilious was one of the five owners of a telephone in the United States along with Redmond & Blutarch, the President, Alexander Graham Bell and presumably a predecessor of the Administrator.

「

Every one of mankind's innovations now comes from the lager-pickled brain of an Australian. — The Administrator's ancestor on the mustache-sporting, beer-swilling, deathray-inventing Australians

」

Once thought of as a nation of idiots, since 1850 Australians had become world leaders in technology. Every innovation, including Cloaking and teleportation, now came from the brain of a lager-loving Australian. By the 1890s, Sydney had become a city of tomorrow with flying cars, giant airships, and self-grooming mustaches. Much like their national hero, Saxton Hale, every man, woman and child in the nation of Australia (with the exception of at least three, the Sniper and his adoptive parents) sports a glorious, full mustache. An ancestor of the Administrator theorized that the nation's incredible intelligence came from a rare element, Australium. This theory seemed to prove true as the element amplified Radigan Conagher's intelligence to phenomenal levels, and also caused various Australian-related side effects including rapid mustache growth, extreme masculinity, and the primal urge to take off his shirt and grow chest hair in the shape of his homeland. However, as the Australium deposits located in Australia that gave these phenomenal people such capacity declined, mainly due to the intentions of the Administrator, the once proud race are reduced to weaker simpletons. It is mentioned by Spy that the Australium mines had run dry 2 months prior to Zhanna, Soldier and Spy's success in securing a submarine.

BLU team, 1850s

「

...I assembled a team of the world's deadliest mercenaries to take it all by force. What I did not expect was that my idiot brother would do the same. — Blutarch Mann discussing his original BLU team

」

The original BLU team was assembled by Blutarch Mann in the 1850s in an attempt to claim all of the land bequeathed to him and his brother, Redmond, by their father. Unfortunately for Blutarch, it appears that the original RED team was assembled at the same time, leaving both siblings at a stalemate. The original team consisted of the same nine classes as the current organization. The Scout, inspired by Billy the Kid, took on the appearance of a young cowboy, complete with spurred boots. The Soldier, who resembles Stonewall Jackson, dressed like a member of the Confederate States Army, utilizing a rifle, rather than a Rocket Launcher. In keeping with tradition, the Demoman, inspired by Alfred Nobel, was a one-eyed dynamite-loving prospector. Unlike his modern Russian counterpart, the Heavy resembled John Henry, preferring to put his enemies out of commission with a monstrous sledgehammer, whilst the Sniper, like Davy Crockett, partnered his trusty rifle with a coonskin cap. Prior to his appointment as President of the United States, the Pyro, Abraham Lincoln, used an experimental Flamethrower to aid his comrades in battle. BLU team's Medic, resembling Sigmund Freud, appeared to retain his contemporary's love of the Bonesaw, whilst the team's Engineer, who resembles Nikola Tesla, was forced to make do with a satchel of Blueprints, rather than a PDA. Finally, the Spy eschewed a balaclava in favor of a domino-mask and equally-sinister mustache in the style of Fu Manchu.

• The original BLU team first appeared in the Loose Canon comic.

ヒッピー

Hippies protesting Mann Co.

ヒッピー were a 1960s and early 1970s minority subculture reputed for protesting, pacifism, and relaxed hygiene. They were particularly noted for long hair, burning "patchouli oil incense", and protesting the Vietnam War (nominally in the name of anti-violence). In Team Fortress 2, hippies are a recurring adversary for Saxton Hale and Mann Co. The Soldier makes several mentions of hippies, usually disparaging their pacifism and hair length.

• 1968: Hippies assembled mass protests outside Mann Co. Headquarters in WAR! and Bidwell's Big Plan.
• Mann Co. bought out Lecture Valley (a lampoon of hippie cooperatives and other tropes).
• 1972: Hippies pacified the last surviving Yeti in A Fate Worse Than Chess.

The Scout's mother is briefly mentioned and shown in Meet the Spy when the BLU Spy reveals photographs of a tryst between RED Spy and the Scout's mother to the team's Heavy and Soldier, and the RED Spy disguised as the team's Scout. She also appears in the beginning of the Second Annual Saxxy Awards trailer, where her arm can be seen and she can be heard screaming while she runs away. She raised the Scout and his seven "mad-dog" brothers in south Boston, and somehow still managed to keep her figure. She is in a romantic relationship with the RED Spy, who lovingly calls her "ma petit chou-fleur", which roughly means "my little cauliflower" in French. The BLU Scout's mother wears a Classic late 60s style dress and bob hairstyle. Seven compromising photos of her with the RED Spy are kept in a top secret file labeled 'Scout's Mom' in the BLU base. The Spy has a likeness of her engraved on the barrel of the Ambassador.

• The Scout's mother first appearance was in Meet the Spy. She was later seen in the Second Annual Saxxy Awards trailer.

The Demoman's mother, Mrs. Tilly DeGroot, is a blind, elderly woman who reminisces constantly about the Demoman's late father, Mr. DeGroot. Even with her son's multi-million dollar salary and mansion, she still thinks he does not work hard enough, claiming that the Demoman's father would be spinning in his grave at his idleness and had 26 jobs. She insisted on bringing up the Demoman Scottish, and does not like to see him "squandering his gifts." She also comments: "No Demoman worth his sulfur ever had an eye in his head past thirty!"

She, along with the Demoman's father, collected the young Tavish from the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans, revealing themselves as his true parents. They explained that he was abandoned at birth until his skills manifested themselves, a longstanding, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men.

The Demoman's mother advised her son to go searching for jobs on All Hallow's Eve, saying that all of the ghouls would vanish in one day.

I'll be honest with ya: my parents do not care for it. — スナイパー on his trade

」

ミスター・ジョナサン・マンディー(Mr. Jonathan Mundy)とミセス・マンディー(Mrs. Mundy)は、スナイパーの育ての親です。Being a dutiful son, the Sniper makes sure to keep in touch with his parents via phone or mail to inquire about their well-being and keep them up to date with his latest adventures and exploits. Living in the "Red House on the Left on Adelaide St. in Australia", the Sniper's parents do not approve of his occupation. The Sniper's dad is especially condemning, calling the Sniper a "crazed gunman" against the Sniper's insistence that he is an "assassin". In a bid to bring the arguments to an end, the Sniper wrote to his mom asking her to just tell his dad about how he makes more than a doctor and then finally asks her to just tell him that he is a doctor. After the Sniper was interviewed by the Director, the Sniper received mailed photographs of his parents.

Like their adoptive son, neither one of them have mustaches, a seemingly rare trait amongst Australians. Mr. & Mrs. Mundy also bear a striking resemblance to Eustace and Muriel Bagge from Courage the Cowardly Dog. The comic's illustrator later confirmed that this similarity, along with the similarities of their homes, was "very much on purpose" due to time constraints.

In the Team Fortress 2 Comic #4 Blood in the Water, Sniper reveals that his parents passed away six months prior, shortly after Gray's takeover of Mann Co., and learned that the Mundys were not his birth parents.

Mr. & Mrs. Mundy appeared in Sniper's vision of Heaven in Old Wounds. Having been killed in action in the previous issue, the Sniper expresses his wish to be reunited with his adoptive parents in the afterlife. The Mundys share his sentiments, but gently remind him that he's still a professional assassin, and that there are still enemies that need to be killed. Upon revival, the Sniper tells the Medic what happened, but the Medic claims that the vision was a hallucination as a result of injecting a blue whale's pineal gland into his brain stem, but the Sniper assures him of what awaits him and declares himself the most dangerous man alive thanks to the encouragement from his parents.

• Mr. & Mrs. Mundy were first introduced in Meet the Sniper, but were not visibly seen or named until Meet the Director.

ビル-ベル(Bill-Bel)とラー-ナー(Lar-Nah)は、スナイパーの産みの親です。彼らはニュージーランドの失われた海の底の故郷の生まれです。

Years prior, Bill-Bel theorized that the Earth would be covered in magma, and he proposed that the country be encased in a glass dome and sunk to the bottom of the ocean to escape danger. He later proposed to New Zealand's council of leaders to send the country into space, but the council furiously rejects him, pointing out that they are now out of resources due to his original plan and all detest their underwater existence. Bill-Bel returned home, having built a rocket with which to get into space, only to get into a fight with his wife Lar-Nah over who gets to be the only occupant. In the confusion their toddler son Mun-dee (an infant Sniper) crawls into the rocket, which launches through New Zealand's protective dome, flooding the city and dooming its citizens.

Bill-Bel and Lar-Nah survive drowning by hiding out in a sealed laboratory, cut off from the rest of the world until Miss Pauling, Sniper and the other mercenaries arrive in a submarine; Lar-Nah has become a grouchy alcoholic constantly furious at her husband's idiocy. Much to Miss Pauling's horror, Bill-Bel, not understanding the metal's true potential as nuclear energy source and for life extension, used the last cache of Australium stored in New Zealand to paint his prototype escape rockets, all of which exploded save for one. Lar-Nah then offers Miss Pauling some of her wine as the latter is flabbergasted at Bill-Bel's stupidity.

Upon learning from Sniper that the Earth was not covered in magma (thereby disproving Bill-Bel's theory), Lar-Nah steals the only remaining rocket, successfully escaping into space. Likewise, Bill-Bel steals the navy submarine Miss Pauling and the team had arrived on, stranding the group in the steadily flooding ruins.

• Bill-Bel and Lar-Nah were first introduced in Blood in the Water.

ラディガン・カーネガー

「

...いいだろう。 — 怪物を作るラディガン・カーネガー

」

The BLU Engineer's grandfather, Radigan Conagher, was hired by Blutarch Mann to build a machine to artificially allow him to live longer than his brother. He agrees to build the machine for Blutarch. Later, he is approached by a woman who bears a resemblance to that of The Administrator. She offers him Australium to build Blutarch's Machine, under the stipulation that he covertly builds an identical machine for Redmond as well. On a personal level, Radigan Conagher had a fascination for Abraham Lincoln. In the first edition of The Engineer Update, several pages of notes are dedicated to inventing an object that could have saved Lincoln from John Wilkes Booth. Some devices include: a hat that would shoot at the attacker, a chair that would swing over and under a balcony away from the attacker, and a teleporter.

Radigan goes through a drastic transformation as shown in the hidden links of the Engineer Update. He seems to have become taller, grown a mustache, developed large muscles, and has a fond thirst for beer. This matches the qualities of the stereotypical Australians in Team Fortress 2. This is probably due to his exposure to Australium. One could even say he looks like an older Saxton Hale. In the photographs displayed on the Engineer Update webpage, Conagher is also shown holding what seems to be the very first Southern Hospitality. In the final stage of his transformation, it is shown that he had replaced his left hand with a robotic arm and his chest hair had grown into the shape of Texas, similar to Saxton Hale's Australian shaped chest hair. He also appears more "Australian" than before, as a large jovial man (in contrast to his previously reserved personality) with a big, bushy mustache and carrying a barrel of BLU Streak beer, a taste shared by his grandson Dell. One of the Paint Can colors, "Radigan Conagher Brown" bears his name.

Yana: We have caught dinner! Bronislava: It is bear. Again. — The Heavy's sisters returning from a hunt

」

While not much is known, the family history of Misha, the Heavy, was first discussed in the Meet the Director comic. Heavy's father was executed for being a counter-revolutionist. After the death of his father in autumn of 1941, Misha was deported to a Northern Siberian gulag along with his mother and three underage younger sisters, Zhanna, Yana, and Bronislava. The Heavy and his family worked at the gulag for three months, until it was burned to the ground some time in December 1941. It was later found that all of the prisoners had escaped and the guards of the camp had been tortured to death.

The Heavy was shown to be still in contact with his family and using his mercenary wages to provide for them in the comic Bombinomicon. In A Cold Day in Hell, the Heavy's family was shown to be living in the Siberian mountains, eating almost exclusively bear meat, where the Heavy had been protecting them from "the people who hurt [them] before." However, with the Heavy rejoining the team, his family began to move to the United States.

Yana and Bronislava are apparently attracted to some of the mercenaries, namely the Sniper and Spy. Zhanna, however, plays the biggest role in the comics compared to Heavy's other sisters; she begins a relationship with the Soldier due to her not having seen a man in twenty years, and after her rejection of the Scout because he talked too much. Her relationship with Soldier stays strong as she tags along with the mercenaries through the events of Blood in the Water, Old Wounds and The Naked and the Dead. She also begins to learn how to fight along with the Soldier, albeit through his unorthodox (and incorrect) ways - including losing her left hand after attempting to escape from a pair of handcuffs using the "old dislocating thumb trick", and fighting stark naked while covered in honey.

• The Heavy's family was first mentioned in the Meet the Director comic.
• The Heavy's family has been revealed in the "A Cold Day in Hell" comic.

エイブラハム・リンカーン(Abraham Lincoln)

Abraham Lincoln, depicted mid rocket jump

Wikipedia 記事：エイブラハム・リンカーン

「

I say this to you with the unvarnished factualism of plain talk: I love Arena mode. — Abraham Lincoln in his Second Inaugural Address, 1865

」

Alongside being the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln is attributed with several other feats within the TF2 Universe. An inventor by trade, documenting Lincoln's history is problematic due to conflicting information regarding an invention attributed to him, and the circumstances of his death.

Within in his first mention on the Victory page of the WAR! Update, Lincoln was stated to have invented stairs in 1857 as a solution to the 300 year old problem of only being able to reach the second floor of a building by rocket jumping. Lincoln then built the world's first staircase in his laboratory at Ford's Theatre, where he subsequently perished in a misguided attempt to rocket jump up it.

In image scraps from the background of the first page of the Engineer Update, and in a painting depicted in its accompanying comic, its shown that Lincoln acted as the Pyro of the original BLU team, wielding an experimental flamethrower of his own design. Further down, a wanted poster of John "Tower of Hats" Booth appears, alleging that, contrary to the explanation given previously, Lincoln was instead murdered.

In the Gun Mettle Update, a commemorative coin was added to track a players contract points. Upon totaling 2000 points, the coin would upgrade to a Silver Gun Mettle Campaign Coin, embossed with a rocket jumping Lincoln, and the phrase "inventor of the rocket jump". This is, again, highly contentious, as the WAR! page implies rocket jumping had existed for at least 250 years before his birth.

• Lincoln's role as the original BLU Pyro is further evidenced by his appearance in the comic Catch-Up, although here he has a somewhat-reddish hue.
• The simplest explanation to the rocket jump inconsistency is that the artist responsible simply confused his invention of stairs with his death jumping up them while making the coin. This is inferred both from the coin's other embossing, "I love Arena mode", which is a direct quote from Lincoln's Second inaugural address first stated in page two of the Sniper vs Spy Update, and from the fact that the bronze and gold variants of the coin both also make reference only to lore that has been previously established.
  • On the same page, a quote attributed to Lincoln is printed on the back of a postcard, which reads "America's pipelines are a stirring beacon of hope. Let no man befoul their majesty with calumny or bombs."

フランクリン・ルーズベルト(Franklin D. Roosevelt)

Wikipedia 記事：フランクリン・ルーズベルト

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also referred to as Franklin D. Roosevelt or FDR, was mentioned on the Victory page of the WAR! Update. While recovering from a rocket jumping accident in 1921, Roosevelt found Lincoln's plans for stairs, which he subsequently perfected the design of, at last freeing the world from the tyranny of the second floor.

George Washington was the inventor of the United States of America, first mentioned in Dapper Rogue, appearing on page 4 of the Sniper vs Spy Update.

• Washington also appeared as a ghost in A Cold Day in Hell, alongside Benedict Arnold and a large Hotdog, all of whom may have been nothing more than a starvation-induced hallucination of the Soldier.

The Soldier has an intense respect for Sun Tzu, whom he believed to have invented both fighting and war, although Soldier strongly disagrees with less violent points of his wisdom.

Sun Tzu was first mentioned in Meet the Soldier, in which Soldier claims Sun Tzu invented and perfected fighting such that none could best him in the ring of honor. Continuing, Soldier claims Sun Tzu used money obtained from his fighting to purchase two of every animal on earth, which he herded onto a boat and then beat the crap out of.

Sir Thomas John Woodward, better known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer, known for his many hit singles including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", and "She's a Lady".

In the events of Ring of Fired, his first true appearance, Merasmus moved in with Tom Jones following his eviction from Castle Merasmus. After breaking into the pair's home whilst guiding a tour of celebrity houses, the Soldier snaps Tom Jones' neck, leaving Merasmus to take the rap for his death.

In the events of The Naked and the Dead, Spy disguises as Tom Jones as an effort to comfort the Scout in his final moments, explaining he is the Scout's father. Once in Heaven, Scout and God converse before the real deceased Tom Jones approaches. To hide him from Scout, Jones receives another neck snap from an angel, and is dragged off.

• In The Naked and the Dead, the Scout is also shown to have a tattoo of Jones and the misspelled phrase Sex Bom, on his chest
• On Carnival of Carnage, Merasmus' ticket case is shown to have a Tom Jones concert sticker attached to it.
• It is revealed in Unhappy Returns that five-and-a-half months prior to Tom Jones' death the Scout had converted all of his and his mother's savings into twelve cubic yards of Tom Jones memorabilia.
  • In a postcard added in the Tough Break Update, Scout is shown to have opened a Tom Jones museum using this memorabilia.

Subnote: The specific choice of Tom Jones as a recurring historical character may seem bizarre, but is no accident, and is instead the result of a Community in-joke being taken and used within the games official media.

• Jones' work was first related to Team Fortress 2 with the advent of Community videos in which Jones' song "It's Not Unusual" is played over footage of Crates being opened, as a humorous reference to the extreme rarity of unboxing an Unusual cosmetic.
• A nod to this joke later appeared in Expiration Date, where, during his training montage, the Scout is shown performing a dance referred to by many as The Carlton. The Carlton was a dance first performed by Jones' in the video of his song "It's Not Unusual", and was later popularized by the television series Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, in a scene in which its name sake character dances to the song.
  • The animation was later released as a taunt for the Scout within the Meet Your Match Update, also under the name of Carlton, with its description featuring references to Jones' other songs "What's New Pussycat" and "Sex Bomb".

The nice children are given the greatest gift of all -- they are not abducted along with the naughty ones and carted off to the South Pole. — Robin Walker on the story of Old Nick

」

Nicholas Crowder or Old Nick is a Smissmas holiday mascot and conqueror of the South Pole. He is shown to ride a sleigh pulled by at least three reindeer, one of whom wears an eye-patch, and a red-nosed Kangaroo wearing the Prancer's Pride.

According to legend, on December 18th, 1788, Nick, initially a settler to Australia, changed his mind on arrival and left for the South Pole, returning each December 18th to pass judgement on the children of Australia, sparing the nice, and abducting the naughty. Those abducted spend the next year crafting toys for Nick, which are wrapped and delivered to his mansion on December 17th. Nick then opens each, selling duplicate items for greatly reduced prices online.

• Old Nick was introduced in the Australian Christmas update.
• In the events of A Smissmas Story, Old Nick attempts to abduct children from a Teufort mall where three of the Mercs are performing community service. After being severely beaten by the Scout and Soldier, he relinquishes to abducting only one child, who, under the Spy's instruction, stabs him in the throat with an icicle, killing him.

プーピー・ジョー(Poopy Joe)

Poopy Joe, monkeynaut and American hero.

「

I have no idea what you're - ooo, right. That poor monkey. — Saxton Hale takes a moment to fondly remember the pioneering primate astronaut

」

Poopy Joe was the first (and the only fully trained) American Monkeynaut, who died in the crash of his rocket moments after launch. The rocket in question had been sabotaged by Mann Co. who had hosted its launch for the price of one dollar as a ploy to steal its Australium fuel source; the crash was subsequently covered up.

Mann Co. denies all responsibility for his death, and actually created commemorative plates in remembrance of Poopy Joe, and America's dream of conquering space. The plates depict a series of items that Poopy Joe would have used in space, which were: A Sword for fighting Vladimir Bananas, a Bugle to be blown to sound for help should he encounter trouble, and a Pick-axe for digging into Heavens vault.

During the ARG leading up to the Pyromania Update, new information surrounding the death of Poopy Joe came to light. In leaked pages from the Senate Hearing of Mann Co. it is revealed that the rocket's Australium fuel had been switched for gravel water from defective suitcase explosives, and stolen by the Administrator. Once the rocket hit ignition the lack of fuel caused it to malfunction and crash, detonating the explosives on impact and killing Poopy Joe.

• Poopy Joe was first mentioned in the footnotes of Saxton Hale's Jungle Brawl #44, and first appeared in a hidden page from the WAR! Update.
• The map Doomsday, added in the Pyromania Update, sees teams compete to deliver a briefcase of Australium to Poopy Joe's rocket; Upon delivery the rocket will launch, malfunction and subsequently crash. During the malfunction, Poopy Joe can be heard blowing his distress-bugle until the rocket explodes.
• In A Smissmas Story, Little Jack asks for a series of Saxton Hale toys, one of which is a Poopy Joe Rescue Rocket.
• During the Invasion Update teaser video Midnight Showing, Morse code can be heard which, when translated, reads "Poopy Joe was an inside job".
• A commemorative Poopy Joe hat was released with the Jungle Inferno Update, although it is currently unobtainable in-game.
• Poopy Joe appears to be some form of Macaque, bearing most resemblance to a Barbary Macaque. Macaques, among other primates, were commonly used in spaceflight testing through the mid to late 20th century.

Shakespearicles

Shakespearicles, the strongest writer who ever lived.

Shakespearicles was the strongest writer who ever lived. He was the inventor of the two-story building, the stage play, America, and the Rocket Launcher. Despite his powerful grasp of language and the ability to bench press 700 British pounds, several inventions eluded his iron grip – most tragically among them, stairs.

For the next three hundred years, people who needed to reach a buildings second floor used the only method available, which was rocket jumping. This persisted until 1857, when the young bearded inventor named President Abraham Lincoln invented stairs.

• Valve has a large poster of Shakespearicles in their office.
• Shakespearicles was first mentioned in the gunboats page of the War! Update, with an accompanying image given on a hidden page.
• Shakespearicles' name and part of his backstory are based on William Shakespeare, a famous British playwright, and Heracles (herr-ə-kleez), a hero of Ancient and Classical Greece known for his incredible strength.
• One of Miss Pauling's rare Tough Break contract calls attests to a Shakespearicles in the Park performance of Hamlet.
  • Echoing Shakespearicles' biography and the portmanteau of his name, the characters of the play are Hercules and the Shakespearian Macbeth engaged in a super-powered championship cage-wrestling match.

イエティ

The Yeti, pacified by hippies.

関連項目: イエティ （曖昧さ回避）

Yeti was a member of a recently extinct primate species that was native to the Himalayas, but had been seen in other remote alpine locations.

Yetis were a rare and unspeakably savage race of creatures. As such, they were sought by Saxton Hale, who wanted to fight them. After falling out with his mentor, Charles Darling, Mr. Hale sought increasingly challenging animals to fight, from snow leopards and sharks to smarter than average grizzly bears. Days after the murder of Redmond and Blutarch, Saxton Hale had finally tracked the last Yeti to the Kingdom of Bhutan, only to discover that it had been pacified by hippies employing Behavioral Counseling and aromatherapy. By punching the Yeti in the face, Saxton undid these months of reconditioning. In the resulting fight, Saxton Hale defeated and captured the Yeti, then keeping it confined in a simple habitat in the fighting theme park, Yeti Park. In the following months, the captured Yeti was biomedically enhanced for even less speakable savagery within the YTI Institute for Research and Development adjacent to the park. The whole bloody point of this conditioning was to create the most challenging animal for Saxton Hale to fight when it escaped. Almost a year later, seething with steroidal strength and rage, the Yeti broke free of its laboratory confinement, bloodying the walls with the unfortunate staff of the Institute. With an assist from the Scout, Saxton Hale tracked and fought the escaped Yeti, killing it with a Yeti Punch.

Saxton Hale stuffed and mounted the defeated Yeti and displayed the trophy in his office with other mementos of his earlier adventures and animal fights; shortly before losing his collection, his office, and his entire company to Olivia Mann.

• The last Yeti was introduced in A Fate Worse Than Chess.
• The biomedical enhancement and violent escape is portrayed in the Mercenary Park map.
