| ~ Saxton Hale's catchphrase |
Saxton Hale is the tritagonist Team Fortress franchise. He is the president and CEO of Mann Co. A subsidiary of TF Industries.

Saxton Hale is the third known owner of Mann Co., a company focusing on production of high class weaponry and cosmetics. However, it's implied that the TF2 Mercs are given bottom of the barrel quality weapons due to their reject status.

In the main comic series, which takes place some time after Grey Mann begins attacking Mann Co., Grey takes over Mann Co. by forcing Saxton to fight Grey's daughter, Olivia, which Saxton cannot bring himself to do. Due to the rule implemented that Mann Co.'s owner will lose the rights to Mann Co. if defeated by another company's owner in unarmed combat, Saxton is promptly fired. Six months later, he burns down a zoo, and is thrown in jail. His old partner, Maggie, who had to retire from adventuring after Saxton became CEO of Mann Co., comes by and gives him some help. Maggie reveals she's now working for Hale's old arch nemesis,
Saxton and Maggie then go to Ayer's Rock, a giant Australium mine, and end up encountering Scout and Heavy. They find out they're both looking for whoever took the Australium, and team up. It turns out the last Australium on earth was in the possession of New Zealanders Bill-Bel and Lar-Nah; or rather, was, until they used it to paint rocket ships to escape the apocalypse that Bill-Bel predicted would happen that ended up exploding. Saxton and Maggie showed up again after the Mercs were taken to Grey Mann's island, supplying the Mercs with weapons to fight off Mann's robots, now under the control of the Team Fortress Classic Mercenaries. For the rest of The Naked and The Dead, they are fighting robots.
