The Operator is a highly enigmatic creature of unknown origin and motives that terrorises the various human characters in Marble Hornets. Specifically, it is the secondary antagonist of the MarbleHornets webseries, the main antagonist of Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story, and the overarching antagonist in the Marble Hornets webcomic.

The Operator, who in this article will be shorthanded as "Op" henceforth, is an unusually tall humanoid creature in a fancy suit and with a blank face and gray skin. Its goal is unknown, but it is commonly theorized that it terrorizes his victim for wicked amusement's sake.

Powers
The Operator is an incredibly powerful individual that hardly ever displays its true power, but that is unusually though. This is shown by its ability to kill Jay in one hit in Entry #80 by simply bashing its arm into him, and by doing this in a fraction of a second, and further strengthened by how it was unaffected by Jay tackling it in Entry #52. In addition to a strong physicality, The Operator has a myriad of supernatural powers at its disposal, including but not limited to:


 * Teleportation: One of the main abilities displayed by The Operator is the power to rapidly teleport from place to place very quickly. Over the course of Marble Hornets, it shows up out of nowhere and vanishes as it pleases, and can do the exact same to others. It teleported Tim and Alex all around the city during their battle, and vanished with the corpse of the man Alex killed in Entry #48. It doesn't seem like this power has a limit, as Op regularly spammed it in Always Watching.


 * Technological Distortion: A main attribute of the Operator is that his presence alone heavily distorts technology in the area, corresponding to his movements and actions. Whenever filmed on camera, Op's presence causes heavy audio and video distortion, both in the series and movie. Also in both media, The Operator has caused power outages, and in Always Watching, his presence flickers the light.


 * Operator Sickness: Those exposed to the Operator for a long time will often collapse into heavy coughing fits when it nears, puking blood, suffer headaches and pass out upon its will. This ability seems to be selective rather than passive, since none of the characters in Always Watching suffer from it. Anti-seizure medication seems to combat The Operator's effects on humans.


 * Telepathy: The Operator is the one responsible behind the rapid behavioural changes and mental effects in the Marble Hornets crew, such as Alex becoming aggressive and losing his sanity, Brian and Tim shifting into their alter-egos "Hoody" and "Masky" and Jessica suffering from insomnia and constantly dreaming about him when she does sleep. Additionally, in Always Watching, it brainwashed Dan Wittlocke into smothering his daughter Tara to death. Memory-wiping is another application of its power, as it wiped seven months from Jay's memory and several events aren't remembered by the Marble Hornets characters when they were clearly present.
