管理員 (真實姓名Helen;姓氏不明), 也有人叫她TF廣播員或廣播員,負責處理RED和BLU及TF Industries. 她是神祕的象徵, 無形的發出命令及廣播回合裡的事情.她是一位上了年紀且徹底邪惡的女人,管理員有著銳利的眼神和尖銳的聲音that commands total and unwavering obedience... or else. Her general demeanor tends towards either slight anger or various stages of bitter disappointment.
她的身分和職務
The Administrator wields considerable influence and power. Once thought to be the owner of both the RED and BLU corporations, it has since been revealed that Blutarch and Redmond Mann are both still alive, thanks to Radigan Conagher's life-extending machines. Despite their continued existence, neither of the Mann brothers seem capable of handling the affairs of their respective companies, and so for all intents and purposes the Administrator can be said to control them. By extension, this grants her control over every major government on the planet. She tends to keeps her operations top secret, manipulating events from behind the scenes. Any development that may chance unwanted attention is swiftly terminated with extreme prejudice.
She communicates with both teams from a single microphone connected to a central control panel. By skilled manipulation of a huge array of plugs and sockets, she can tap into a number of communication channels, including ones that address the entirety of the RED and BLU teams. Her messages are relayed to the teams through an Alarm-a-Tron 5000 speaker system, itself connected to a board with a myriad of signs that illuminate in situations of varying urgency (e.g. RED Spy - In Base). A massive monitor bank in front of her control panel allows her to keep a watchful eye on events at all times. Her exact motives in ordering the mercenary teams employed by both her companies into mortal combat on a regular basis remain mysterious.
The Administrator is attended by a number of staff, including loyal assistant Miss Pauling.

| “ | In my experience, Miss Pauling, nothing kills friendship faster...than a healthy competition.

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.
外表
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.
