Characters

This page features the large role playing characters that you'll be playing alongside in Half-Life 2.

Gordon Freeman Gordon Freeman is the infamous, well known, and ass kicking scientist with the best beard in video games that is the main character in Half-Life 1 & 2, returning with the all mighty orange hazard suit and glasses, of course!
Alyx Vance Alyx Vance is Gordon Freeman's significant role playing side-kick, and is the daughter of Eli vance. Her mother died in the Black Mesa Research Facility incident, unfortunately. Alynx Vance is a very emotional yet strong character who will help you throughout the game.
G-Man The G-Man is the nicely suited, pale, mysterious, shady, and sketchy ally guy that Gordon Freeman worked for in Half-Life 1 and will still work for in Half-Life 2... somehow now he has full control over your mind. But frankly speaking, do you believe that guy could be really trusted?
Eli Vance Eli Vance is Alyx Vance's father. He was a formal scientist of the black mesa research facility, but still is a scientist otherwise. During the Black Mesa incident, he lost a huge amount of his leg.
Barney Calhoun Barney Calhoun is the famous security guard from the original Half-Life game. He somehow made it into Half-Life 2 in City 17, but this time he's without his helmet, which makes him look a little wierd.
Dr Isaac Kliener One of the few scientist survivors from the Black Mesa incident, Dr.Isaac Kliener is an a bit paranoid but very bright scientist who you'll encounter throughout HL2.
Dr Judith Mossman Dr.Judith Mossman, a former scientist, was surprisingly not part of the Black Mesa Facility, and had never met Gordon Freeman until when he arrived in City 17. Dr.Judith Mossman is a research partner with Alynx Vance, not to be confused with Alynx Vance's mother. While amazingly brilliant, Judith Mossman has been known to be a bit mischevious and chilling at times. Alyx Vance has always had a grudge against her, but she doesn't quite know why.
Father Grigory Father Grigory is a survivalist monk of Half-Life 2, he's the one who's been wandering around City 17 setting traps to kill the headcrabs and zombies of all kinds.
Dog Alynx Vance's massive robotic pet dog, Dog is a friendly robotic being who will assist you throughout many combat, survival, and puzzle abound situations.
Dr Breen Originally the administrator of Black Mesa Research Facility, Dr.Breen has decided to establish his new administration in City 17, one of the last remaining urban centers in the world. While he seems like a "father-friendly" man via all the screens at City 17, what mischief and evil really stirs in his citadel is what is to be found out.
