— La Administradora
|
» |
La Administradora (verdadero nombre Helen, apellido desconocido), también conocido como la TF Announcer o, simplemente, Announcer, es la directora general de RED y BLU, así como de TF Industries. Ella es la fuente de la misteriosa voz sin cuerpo que coordina de las cuestiones de combate e informa de eventos importantes durante la partida. Experimentada y profundamente malvada mente femenina, la Administradora posee tanto una mirada penetrante como una de voz que ordena la obediencia total y constante. Su comportamiento en general tiende a la ira ya sea leve o en varias etapas de amarga decepción.
Rol y tareas
El Administrador ejerce una considerable influencia y poder. Su propiedad tanto de RED como BLU la promueven, por extensión, al control de los gobiernos más importantes del planeta. Ella tiende a las operaciones de alto secreto, la manipulación de los acontecimientos desde detrás de las escenas.
Ella se comunica con los dos equipos con un sólo micrófono conectado a un panel de su sala de control central. Mediante la manipulación de una enorme variedad de enchufes y tomas de corriente, puede aprovechar una serie de canales de comunicación, incluidos los que se ocupan de la totalidad de los equipos rojo y azul. Sus mensajes se transmiten a los equipos a través del sistema de altavoces Alarm-a-Tron 5000 , conectado a un tablero con una multitud de signos que se iluminan en diferentes situaciones de urgencia (por ejemplo, Espía RED - En la base). Un monitor gigante frente a su panel de control le permite mantener un ojo vigilante sobre los acontecimientos en todo momento. Sus motivos exactos para ordenar a los equipos de mercenarios contratados por sus dos compañías que luchen mortalmente con regularidad, siguen siendo un misterio.
The Administrator is attended by a number of staff, including loyal assistant Miss Pauling.
The WAR

— The Administrator at her evil deeds
|
» |
The Administrator considers inter-company friendships a profound breach of trust, forbidden by contract. After her assistant Miss Pauling brought it to her attention that the RED Demoman and the BLU Soldier had become friends, she had communication channels opened up specifically to them both. Through these, she personally encouraged each to kill their new friend in order to earn a mysterious and valuable new weapon developed under Mann Co. Just as intended, this quickly destroyed their blossoming friendship and thus beginning the seven day war.
Appearance
The Administrator's appearance has a storied past. It started with a fan rendition by the artist Makani, which spread around the Internet, proving to be rather popular. Shortly thereafter the artist was invited to Valve for a visit, where the design was purchased. Many months later, during the promo for the Hallowe'en Special, a woman with a near-identical face could be seen standing next to Zepheniah Mann on his deathbed. Finally, on December 9, 2009, the Administrator's face was officially revealed, using Makani's design, with some slight clothing modifications
Trivia
- The Administrator has a liking for cigarettes, Punishment Monthly magazine and, according to Saxton Hale, steak dinners and sex with handsome men.
- The Administrator is voiced by Ellen McLain, who also played the voice of GLaDOS in Portal and the Overwatch Dispatcher in Half-Life 2.
- The Administrator occasionally posts on the TF2 Official Blog; usually entries that involve tongue-lashing the community for untoward behavior, such as the usage of external achievement unlocking programs.
- The Administrator is the only Non-player character that has a presence in regular gameplay (with the possible exception of the ghost of Zepheniah Mann).
- When King of the Hill mode was first released, the Administrator would play all the "Overtime" lines very rapidly from the time Overtime starts all the way to the end of the round. This bug was later fixed by Valve on August 15, but remained an option for server admins due to popular reception by the TF2 community (the option being a console command called 'nag').
- The Administrator's purple wear reflects her control of both BLU and RED.
- As portrayed in the comic, the Administrator is in possession of the Mann Family Portrait. She bears a very close resemblance to Elizabeth, Zepheniah Mann's maidservant.
- 'The Administrator' takes place concurrent to the events of Meet the Spy.
- The Administrator is implied to have been in a relationship with Saxton Hale some time ago, who refers to her as a "chain-smoking seductress".
- In response to inquiries about her alleged relationship with Saxton Hale: "A lady never tells, and a gentleman never asks. More pertinently, an Administrator never forgets. Or forgives. Or relents. The Nosy Parkers among you would do well to remember that the next time you decide to paw through my confidential affairs like junkyard dogs." [1]
- The Demoman refers to her as "the angry lady who's always screamin' at us while we fight."
- The Soldier called her "Pumpkin" in the Soldier Comic. It's not known if the Soldier was making a one-time comment, or if the Soldier always refers to The Administrator that way.
- The Administrator is not married. In the same comic frame where Saxton Hale makes a pass at her, Miss Pauling says, "I work for Miss--".
