ALYX VANCE: A brand new
character in Halflife 2. She
is the daughter of Eli Vance and
acts as Gordons sidekick. Her
mother parished in the original
incident at the Black Mesa compound
and she now fights alongside you in
some areas of Halflife 2.
BARNEY CALHOUN:
Originally you know Barney from
Black Mesa security, and then made
an appearance in the expansion Blue
Shift. Now hes here to help in
City 17 to fight beside you.
ELI VANCE: Originally a
Black Mesa scientist and now father
to Alyx as well. He lost his
leg in the original game before
escaping from Black Mesa and will
help guide you in Halflife 2.
THE G-MAN: This was a
very mysterious character in the
first Halflife. Now he's back,
and our character Gordon has been
working for him. He's put in
enemies because he gave Gordon the
ultimatum to join him or die.
Obviously Gordon gave in.
GORDON FREEMAN: The main
character of the game. You
play this scientist that was the
original star of Halflife. He
was offered a deal from G-Man at the
end of the first game to come work
for him. Apparently he
accepted and has now been working
for G-Man over the past 15
years.
SCIENTISTS: You will be
interacting mostly with Dr. Alex
Kleiner (the man who originally got
Gordon the job at Black Mesa).
They will help provide valuable
knowledge along your way in Halflife
2. This time they will also
have unique skins so you can tell
them apart better.
