==Summary==
The Operator is the main antagonist of the Marble Hornets franchise. It is a mysterious parasitic entity that has been stalking Tim Wright ever since he was a child and soon spread on to his friends. It stalked The Marble Hornets cast and crew, slowly driving them insane as of them, Alex Kralie, starts to murder people associated with The Operator.
The Operator's exact plan is unknown, although it is mentioned multiple times throughout the series that it spreads a part of its being with its victims and curses them to spread it to everyone they interact with, implying that its goal is likely related to spreading its disease across as many individuals as possible in order to stay alive.
