Characters of the Half-Life series
This is a list of characters in the Half-Life videogame series, which comprises Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Alyx, and their respective expansion packs and episodes.
This section deals with characters that appear in Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and Decay.
Gordon Freeman, PhD, is the silent protagonist of the Half-Life series and the playable character in Half-Life and all games in the Half-Life 2 series. He is a theoretical physicist and holds a PhD from MIT in that field. At the time of Half-Life, he works at Black Mesa Research Facility, a facility in New Mexico, conducting nuclear and subatomic research.
After being at ground zero during the "resonance cascade", Gordon fights his way through Black Mesa and eventually reaches the Lambda Complex where a group of surviving scientists are getting ready to teleport him to Xen in order for Gordon to kill a large entity (The "Nihilanth") holding the portals open in Xen. In doing so he frees the alien race of vortigaunts from slavery and is hired by the G-Man for an unknown future job.
In Half-Life 2 he is re-awoken from stasis by the G-man and meets up with the resistance on Earth against the Combine. The resistance view him as a very important figure due to the mythos surrounding what he did in Black Mesa. He eventually becomes one of the leading figures in the resistance, almost single-handedly destroying the Combine prison, Nova Prospekt, and signaling the uprising to begin. During the uprising, Gordon fights his way through the ruined streets of City 17 and enters the Citadel. He and Alyx Vance attempt to stop Dr. Wallace Breen from teleporting to a Combine Planet and blow up the teleporter he was trying to use.
In Episode One, Gordon and Alyx head back into the Citadel and slow the inevitable explosion so that they can get away before it explodes and so that the resistance can evacuate more civilians.
In Episode Two, Gordon and Alyx make their way to White Forest and activate a rocket to stop any more Combine Portals from opening, stopping another full scale Combine invasion of Earth.
Originally, Gordon's character model was much different, sporting a big beard and much larger head as well as the HEV suit being an olive green colour instead of the iconic orange, this earlier model has since been dubbed "Ivan the Space Biker". Gordon Freeman's final character model is based on Valve employee Chuck Jones including his, at the time, pony tail in Half-Life 1.
