| − | '''Ikke-spilbare karaktere''' eller "Non-player characters" på engelsk, og typisk forkortet til '''NPC'er''', are characters in the ''Team Fortress 2'' setting that are not one of the nine playable [[classes]]. While most are uninvolved in gameplay, they still add extra background to the ''Team Fortress 2'' setting. The primary [[Storyline]] characters, [[#Zepheniah Mann|Zepheniah Mann]], [[#Silas Mann|Silas Mann]], [[#Blutarch and Redmond Mann|Blutarch]], [[#Blutarch and Redmond Mann|Redmond Mann]], [[#Gray Mann|Gray Mann]], [[Administrator]], [[Miss Pauling]], [[Merasmus]], and [[Saxton Hale]] define the reasons for the battles within the game, and each have at least some appearance within the broader game system. Many other lesser characters appear only in the game Background and Storyline media, especially the [[Comics]], supporting the expositional dialogs and the occasionally nonsensical game ambiance.

| − | '''Zepheniah Nieodemus Mann''' was a wealthy Englishman who was convinced by his dimwitted sons, [[Blutarch Mann|Blu]]tarch and [[Redmond Mann|Red]]mond, to purchase large areas of land in frontier America. He dreamed of turning the land into large [[Gravel Pit|pits of gravel]] for weapons manufacturing. On his journey over to see his newly purchased land, he was struck with almost every illness known to man, and was shocked to find his new land was an [[Dustbowl|empty and useless desert]]. Eventually, he left a [http://www.teamfortress.com/mannwill/ last will and testament] on his own skin, which had sloughed off his body due to illness:
| |
| − | * To his maidservant Elizabeth, he left his estate including all deeds, accounts, and debts, his tobacco plantation, and the remains of his fortune. Elizabeth bears a striking resemblance to Helen, the Administrator, and is very likely her ancestor.
| |
| − | * To his aide and tracker Barnabus Hale, ancestor of [[Saxton Hale]], he left complete control of [[Mann Co.]]
| |
| − | * To his "brain defective" sons, Blutarch and Redmond, he left a partnership. All of the new land they had convinced him to buy was now to be split evenly between them, so that they would now have a reason to bicker endlessly. Blutarch and Redmond proceeded to do so by the aid of life extending machines until [[Storyline#Early 1972|1972]] when they were assassinated by their long lost brother Gray.
| |
| − | * The final entry of his will is obscured, reading only as: "Lastly to... I leave the entirety of my... and swear you to utmost secrecy in its keeping."
| |
| − | ** In another [http://www.teamfortress.com/mannwill/ secret page], the message in full is revealed as "Lastly, to most trusted Elizabeth I leave the entirety of my [[Australium|"miracle" gravel]] cache, uncovered with Barnabus during a trip to Terra Australis. My weakling son Gray resurfaced last year and has threatened to blackmail me for it. I give the gravel to you and swear you to utmost secrecy in its keeping."
| |
| − | * In addition to the entries within the will, it is clear that Zepheniah's brother, Silas Mann, was also present. He, however, was only revealed to have been at the event following the uncovering of [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/family_portrait/ another damaged photograph].

Quarterly Concern'', the company that would eventually become [[Mann Co.]] His contributions to the company appear to include [[keys]] and [[Name Tag|name tag]]s. Silas perished shortly after his brother, but death was not the end for him. He now roams [[Mann Manor]] as the [[Horseless Headless Horsemann]], similarly to how Zepheniah haunts [[Harvest Event]] as a glowing blue spirit. The portrait of Silas Mann can be found by clicking the "Silas" name on the gravestone from the [http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/ Scream Fortress Update] page.

| − | '''Blutarch Mann''' and '''Redmond Mann''' were two of the triplet sons of Zepheniah Mann. They were the owners of [[BLU]] and [[RED]], respectively. The two sons had been engaged in a lifelong feud with each other over the control of the vast lands left to them by their father. After Zepheniah Mann's death, both Blutarch and Redmond hired teams of nine mercenaries each in order to quickly defeat the other sibling and take control of his lands. However, as their forces were evenly matched, the situation quickly devolved into a protracted stalemate, leading Blutarch and later Redmond to look to Radigan Conagher for a [[Life Extender Machine|life-extending machine]], each hoping to outlive his sibling. Radigan made the same machine for both Redmond and Blutarch, so their feud continued, even into the year 1968. By 1972, however, Blutarch and Redmond are tricked into meeting with each other and quickly decide to declare a truce in order to get one of them pregnant to create a heir. But Gray Mann enters, revealing himself to be their long lost brother and assassinates both of them to gain control of their respective companies.

| − | In ''[[Grave Matters]]'', Blutarch and Redmond Mann become ghosts shortly after their deaths. The first thing Blutarch does as a ghost is gloat to his brother that he outlived him, while Redmond says he was still bleeding out when Blutarch died. After a few seconds of fighting, they go to the RED Soldier, who is working as a lawyer, for legal help in determining that status of who won their father's land. RED Soldier tells them, that since they're ghosts, they're not actually dead but caught between worlds and neither have won until one of them passes on. Blutarch and Redmond leave and find the nearest pay phone and call their secretaries from their former companies and organize the mercs in order to try and send each other to [[Helltower#Hell|Hell]].

| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Quotation|'''Gray Mann'''| Gentlemen. My name is '''Gray Mann'''. I am your '''brother'''. }}
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Gray Mann''' is the third son of Zepheniah Mann. The smallest of the three Mann brothers, Gray was also the most intelligent of the three. He could speak perfectly by the time he was born, but was the weakest physically. Disgusted by how he could talk, Zepheniah Mann was going to smother Gray, but before his father could do so, Gray was abducted by a wild eagle; the event taking place during the "Great Eagle Scourge of 1822". The eagle took Gray away from his family, and raised as one of its own. After being raised by his eagle abductor, Gray killed and ate her and her children before crawling back to civilization to build his corporate empire, Gray Gravel Company. According to Zepheniah Mann, in 1849, Gray Mann had threatened to blackmail him for his cache of "miracle" gravel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In early 1972, Gray resurfaced, revealing that, like his brothers, he possessed a life-extending machine, albeit a more efficient and compact version mounted on his back. After luring them to a fake meeting using forged letters from each other offering a truce, he assassinated the Engineers operating Redmond and Blutarch's life extending machines, then killed his twin brothers Blutarch and Redmond Mann to take control of their respective companies and absorb them into Gray Gravel Co. Gray created an army of robots to destroy Mann Co. facilities all over the world, as shown in [[A Fate Worse Than Chess]]. Saxton Hale rehired the [[Classes|mercenaries]], who had been fired from [[BLU]] and [[RED]] after the takeover, to defend these factories from the robots.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1972, Gray surrendered the war to Saxton Hale, acknowledging that his war had turned into a stalemate reminiscent of the Gravel War between his brothers. However, he used the Mann Co. Challenge policy, which stated that the CEO of any company could legally seize control of Mann Co. if they beat Mann Co.'s CEO in {{botignore|unarmed combat}}, in order to pit Saxton Hale against his daughter, Olivia. Unwilling to fight a child, Saxton Hale conceded, giving up control of the company to Olivia.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Six months later, Gray's Australium-fueled [[Life Extender Machine]] began to run low. In desperation, Gray uncovered Mann Co.'s safe of Australium. He discovered it empty, and deduced that the Australium had been stolen by the Administrator after finding only a cigarette and a single brick of Australium left behind in the vault. He proceeded to hire an unknown group of individuals to find the Administrator and recover the Australium. In [[A Cold Day in Hell]], it is revealed that Gray hired the [[Team Fortress Classic]] Mercenaries to find the Administrator. During the events of [[Old Wounds]], Gray's Life Extender Machine is ripped apart by the TFC Heavy, leading to Gray's eventual death. Before passing away, Gray appeals to Miss Pauling and the mercs, claiming that the Administrator accumulated the Australium to enact a plot far more evil than his, and asks them to stop her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Gray was first mentioned in a birth certificate [http://www.teamfortress.com/gray/ accessed via a link] hidden in a blood stain on the banner of the [[TF2 Official Website]].
| |
| − | ** Additionally, an updated version of the last will of Zepheniah Mann was released shortly after the hidden link, revealing the secret piece of the will belongs to Gray Mann.
| |
| − | * The smaller set of numbers along the bottom of the [[Barely-Melted Capacitor]] read 07180125. When split into four and translated into letters (A = 1, B = 2, etc), it reads "GRAY".
| |
| − | * At the last page of [[Loose Canon]] comic, there is a list of persons for whom Radigan Conagher built machines and dates of construction on the cover of the Life Extender Machine book. It lists the 17th of July 1894 for Blutarch, 3rd of August 1894 for Redmond and 14th of April (unknown year) for an unnamed third person. More than three Life Extender Machine have since been revealed and the third Radigan machine was not necessarily presented to Gray.
| |
| − | * He appears to have aged much better than his brothers, seeing as how he is still able to stand and has retained his hair. His better aging may be attributed to his more advanced life extension machine, which runs on a pure Australium core.
| |
| − | * In "''[[The Shadow Boxers]]''" comic released during the Smissmas 2012 update, it was revealed that Gray Mann owns Gray Gravel Co., a company whose logo can be seen on the [[Gravel Pit]] and [[Frontier]] maps.
| |
| − | * Dialogue in the Helltower Halloween map reveals that Gray is Zepheniah Mann's favorite son.

She also became the CEO of Mann Co. after winning it from Saxton Hale by technicality using the Mann Co. rule regarding transferal of ownership by victory in {{botignore|Unarmed Combat}}. Hale, refusing to fight her due to her young age, made his butler Mr. Bidwell CEO, but when he also refused to fight her, Hale was forced to give Mann Co. to Olivia.

The Administrator has appeared or has been referred to several times in ''Team Fortress 2'' [[Comics]] and other media. Women of similar appearance have also appeared, but at greatly different ages or times; and it is claimed by certain characters that she has been active for over a century.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Administrator's messengers''' are mysterious individuals hired by the Administrator to deliver messages to the classes via miniaturized television sets worn on their torsos. A messenger was first shown locating the BLU Soldier's apartment and delivering a message to him via the television screen, broadcasting the Administrator.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another messenger is seen in ''[http://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=8 Meet the Director]'', killed by the RED team in an attempt to get answers out of him. The Administrator frowned upon this, on the grounds that once dead they could not return their miniature televisions, forcing her to buy more. The Administrator's statement about the mercenaries "shooting yet another messenger" suggests that there have been previous messengers and that the mercenaries have a habit of killing them.

| |
| − | Miss Pauling is a loyal assistant to the Administrator. She performs a number of duties including reporting unusual background checks, ordering and delivery of goods, opening communication channels and murders. Miss Pauling generally complies with her employer's views for fear of incurring her wrath, even if she does not necessarily agree with them.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Director''' is a somewhat arrogant filmmaker, hired by the [[Administrator]]. The Director is responsible for the Meet the Team series, meant to {{botignore|spy}} on the [[Classes|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 (region)|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 {{botignore|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]]. A "MISSING" poster featuring the Director can be found in [[Doomsday]], [[Coal Town]], [[Mannworks]], [[Powerhouse]], and other maps further hinting this.

After Bette dies while giving birth, he cries at her death, apparently the only one to do so. Hale later inherited Mann Co. upon Zepheniah's death. He is a relative of [[Saxton Hale]], as his grandfather, and shares Saxton's extremely masculine personality.

| |
| − | Bilious Hale is the father of [[Saxton Hale]], and was the owner of [[Mann Co.]] during the early 1900's after inheriting it from his father, Barnabus Hale. 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.
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Mr. Bidwell''' is one of Saxton Hale's assistants, along with Mr. Reddy. His duties include serving Hale's meals and dealing with customer feedback. Bidwell is the creator of the new ''Mann Co. Weapons Catalogue'', acting as a liaison between the manufacturers of various products and Mann Co. During his first appearance Bidwell sported a handlebar mustache; however, this was later shaved off.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Saxton Hale sent Bidwell to Sarif Industries under the pretense of discussing a partnership to jointly develop biotechnology. While Sarif's representatives were looking over the "contract", Bidwell escaped with a crate full of weapons and later reverse-engineered the stolen weaponry to produce [[Manno-Technology Bundle|Manno-Technology]]. Bidwell detailed his exploits in a confidential memo to Hale, who wrote back to Bidwell asking him to "stop writing these things down".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bidwell, along with Reddy, risked being dismissed by suggesting the idea of item tryouts and much of the [[Manniversary Update & Sale]]. They showcased various new hats and Miscellaneous items in a section of the Manniversary Update and Sale page before being rudely interrupted by Saxton Hale's dilemma of hiding a dead ostrich.

| − | Three days after the end of "The Gravel Wars" and the death of Blutarch and Redmond Mann, Bidwell is under disguise as a primate violence specialist with Saxton Hale, with the purpose of filming Saxton fight the last-living Yeti. Right before Saxton charges at the Yeti to fight it, Bidwell is informed by Reddy of attacks on Mann Co. stores and relays it back to Saxton, who tells Bidwell that he is very much aware of the attacks. Bidwell then films Saxton's assault on the Yeti, which Saxton uses as a video instructing the mercenaries on their new job of fighting robots and defending Mann Co. Bidwell then sends the tape back to Miss Pauling, who shows it to the remainders of the [[RED]] and [[BLU]] Teams.

| − | Once thought of as a nation of idiots, since 1850 '''Australians''' had become world leaders in technology. Every innovation, including [[Cloak]]ing and [[Teleporters|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 [[#Mr. & Mrs. Mundy|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.

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.

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.

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.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 [[Wikipedia:Gulag|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 (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.

In the resulting fight, Saxton Hale defeated and captured the Yeti, then keeping it confined in a simple habitat in the fighting theme park, [[Mercenary 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 [[Jungle Inferno (Video)|tracked and fought]] the escaped Yeti, killing it with a [[Yeti Punch]].

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 [[Jump#Soldier jumps|an invention attributed]] to him, and the circumstances of his death.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Within in his first mention on the [https://www.teamfortress.com/war/victory/ 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 [[Shakespearicles|reach the second floor of a building]] by rocket jumping. Lincoln then built the world's first staircase in his laboratory at [[w:Ford's Theatre|Ford's Theatre]], where he subsequently perished in a misguided attempt to rocket jump up it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In image scraps from the background of the [https://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/ first page] of the [[Engineer Update]], and in a [[:File:Engineercomic05.jpg|painting]] depicted in its [[Loose Canon|accompanying comic]], its shown that Lincoln acted as the Pyro of the [[#BLU team (original)| original BLU team]], wielding an experimental flamethrower of his own design. Further down, a wanted poster of [[#John Wilkes Booth|John "Tower of Hats" Booth]] appears, alleging that, contrary to the explanation given previously, Lincoln was instead murdered.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the [[Gun Mettle Update]], a [[Gun Mettle Campaign Coin|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 ''[https://www.teamfortress.com/war/victory/ 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 [[:File:Catchup09.jpg|appearance]] in the comic [[Catch-Up]], although here he has a {{tooltip|somewhat-reddish hue|This may simply be a consequence of the color of his surroundings, however.}}.
| |
| − | * 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|Arena mode]]"'', which is a direct quote from Lincoln's Second inaugural address first stated in [http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day02_english.htm page two] of the [[Sniper vs Spy Update]], and from the fact that the [[#Claude Huggins|bronze]] and [[#Queen Trixie|gold]] variants of the coin both also make reference only to lore that has been previously established.

| − | Whitaker, a minor character in ''Left 4 Dead 2'', wrote a blog update on the Official ''Team Fortress 2'' Blog advertising the promotional [[Ellis' Cap]] and [[Frying Pan]] one can get from purchasing or previously owning ''Left 4 Dead 2''. Based on his opening paragraph, he is southern like the other ''Left 4 Dead 2'' characters. It seems he is neutral towards the RED and BLU corporations' feud, and also seems to know little-to-nothing about TF Industries other than "what he is told". It also appears that his existence is outside of ''Team Fortress 2'''s canonical storyline as he refers to the war as an "infernal game called ''Team Fortress 2''". However, this can be countered by the fact that he seems to be addressing the RED and BLU team members in the blog. Within ''Left 4 Dead 2'', he is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0130502/ Dayton Callie].
