## Plot

The Mann Family's backstory begins in the 19th century with the wealthy Englishman, Zepheniah Mann. Zepheniah was the owner and proprietor of Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns, but is better known by the name Mann Co. Zepheniah's wife gave birth to three sons, Redmond, Blutarch, and Gray. Though Redmond and Blutarch were perfectly normal, Gray was underweight, and had learned to talk inside the womb. Zepheniah ordered the baby to be smothered, but he was abducted by an eagle during the "Great Eagle Scourge of 1822." The Mann brothers grew up without knowledge of their third brother.

Around 1850, Zepheniah contracted multiple illnesses, while traveling the world. In his will and testament, he gave his two sons Redmond and Blutarch a large amount of land to expand the munitions business. However they learned that the land was nothing but Dustbowls and Gravel Pits. Zepheniah left half of the land to each brother for them to fight over for the rest of their lives. He also left Mann Co. to his private detective and deputy Barnabus Hale, and Elizabeth the "miracle gravel" cache that he discovered on a trip to what later would be Australia. Apparently Gray had resurfaced and tried to blackmail Zepheniah.

As the way began, nine mercenaries were hired. Only Blu team's members were known, comprising of: Billy the Kid, Stonewall Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Alfred Nobel, John Henry, Nikola Telsa, Sigmund Freud, Davy Crockett, and Fu Manchu. Redmond also hired mercenaries, which left both teams in a long standing stalemate.

Forty years later, Blutarch, nearing the end of his life, employed an expert craftsman named Radigan Conagher to make a life extender machine. Conagher agreed however was approached by Elizabeth who asked him to build another life extender for Redmond. As payment she gave Conagher 100 pounds of the "mystery gravel" now called Australium - a powerful element found only in Australia which had caused the nation of unintelligent savages to become extremely intelligent and develop such technological marvels as teleportation and cloaking devices. Radigan agreed and made life extenders for Redmond, Blutarch, and a mysterious third party.

in the 60's Blutarch realizes his machine is beginning to fail and employs Dell Conagher, the son of Radigan Conagher, to fix it.

in 1968, with the original mercenary teams dead, Redmond and Blutarch hired new mercenaries consisting of: The Scout, The Soldier, The Pyro, The Demoman, The Heavy Weapons Guy, The Engineer, The Medic, The Sniper, and The Spy, causing what is now known as the gravel war to continue. Helen, a possible descendant of Elizabeth is tasked with watching over the battles and the decendant of Barnabus, Saxton Hale, is the CEO of Mann Co.

In 1971, Redmond and Blutarch are contacted by each other in hopes of a truce. However they quickly learn that neither actually wrote the letter and it was their third brother, Gray Mann. Gray explained his past and how, unlike his brothers who had their companies handed to them, he had to make his from the ground up. Gray then kills both Redmond and Blutarch, thus leaving the mercenaries without jobs.

Years later, Gray Mann sets his sights on Mann Co. He sends a massive army of robot mercenaries to all of the companies different facilities all over the world. While Saxton Hale was busy wrestling a Yeti, he sends a message to the ex mercenaries that were hired by Redmond and Blutarch. He proceeds to re-hire the team to protect Mann Co. from the robots.
