History[]
Mann Co., originally named Zepheniah & Sons Munitions Concern,was founded by rich Englishman Zepheniah Mann, who worked with his presumed brother Silas Mann, who made keys and nametags. After the death of Zephaniah Mann, the company was inherited by Frontiersman, Barbaus Hale, who worked as Zepheniah's trusted tracker. A decade later, Mann Co. bought the Coal mines and Munitions Factory from Redmond Mann and Blutarch Mann. The ownership of the company was later passed down to Bilious Hale who ran the company for the first half of the 20th century. In 1922, he shut down the Coal mine and Munitions factory for the future of hat manufacture. At an unknown point, Bilious passed down the ownership of Mann Co. to his son, Saxton Hale, who ran the company, as well as becoming its spokesman, from the 1960s.
Mann Co. was one of the two suspects along with TF Industries in the Senate's investigations of the death of monkeynaut Poopy Joe, who was killed when his Australium-powered rocket crashed and exploded, since Saxton Hale stole the entire Australium supply from the rocket and replaced it with defective suitcase explosives. Hales other crimes were included in the investigation. However, it was closed when an unknown woman, whose identity is kept a secret, was put under questioning, where she states her actions and objectives regarding the stolen Australium, which was never found.
In 1968, after Saxton Hale discovered the internet, Mann Co. went online, in which its own online store was established, which would allow customers (which are the mercenaries) to buy weapons and items.
In early 1972. Gray Mann challenges Saxton Hale to fight his Daughter, Olivia Mann, for control of Mann Co. Saxton Hale stepped down, because he couldn't fight a little girl. He names his assistant Mr. Bidwell CEO of Mann Co. and gets him to fight Olivia, but he refused, and he is ultimately fired as a result. Turning to Mr. Reddy, his associate, Saxton offers him the same deal and gives him the job of fighting Olivia. Mr. Reddy obliges but was stopped by Mr. Bidwell before he could act. As a result, Gray Mann took over Mann Co. along with his daughter.
This ultimately resulted in the firing of the TF2 mercenaries, and the Administrator and her assistant Miss Pauling were forced to go into hiding for six months until Pauling was ordered to rehire and reassemble the mercenary team. After Gray Mann was betrayed and killed by the TFC Heavy, the succession in inheriting Mann Co. is, as of now, unresolved. Gray Mann is survived by his predecessor and daughter Olivia while Saxton is interested in regaining his position as CEO of the company.
