The Administrator, as he appears in Crawlspace.
The Administrator is the nickname given to Slender Man in the TribeTwelve ARG. Unlike most ARGs, such as MarbleHornets, he only appears as a secondary antagonist in TribeTwelve.
History
According to My Grandfather Karl, The Administrator has been haunting the Maxwell family ever since World War II. Karl Maxwell states that a similar creature, known as "Der Großmann" or "The Tall Man", was subject of legend in Nazi Germany. The creature would kidnap children who went into the Black Forest. Karl encountered the creature when it attacked a Nazi soldier. Additionally, Karl states that the same entity is appearing in Noah's videos.
Abilities
Similar to in other ARGs, The Administrator tends to have effects on electronic equipment, such as audio and/or video recording devices. It is unknown if this effect is intentional or natural. It could be due to the Sigma Radiation he emits. The Administrator also has the ability to teleport at will, causing much distortion before he does so. It can be noted by the video clipping at the bottom of the screen before he appears.
Unlike most ARGs, The Administrator also has tentacles producing from his back, which can also appear as extra arms or spider legs. They also only tend to appear in rare moments, possibly out of aggression.
