But opening the cell reveals it’s actually the G-Man who’s been imprisoned, not Gordon.įor those unfamiliar, the G-Man is a mysterious, otherworldly entity with the appearance of a stern-looking human in a suit who essentially plucks people he deems valuable out of space and time (which he calls “hiring” them) to keep in stasis until he needs them again to complete another task. When Alyx finally makes it to the core of the vault – navigating buildings that have been strangely warped through space and time to get there – she does see a figure standing inside of it. Gordon Freeman (the main Half-Life protagonist) that’s being held captive. While worrying whether this entity is friend or foe, they overhear an unknown human working with the Combine saying this prisoner survived the Black Mesa incident (the events of the first Half-Life) and that they caused hell while doing so – that leads Eli and Russell to believe it’s the legendary Dr. However, as Alyx gets closer, Eli decrypts a Combine data pad that reveals that it's not a vault protecting a weapon, but actually a prison containing a person.
It’s up to Alyx Vance to get to the vault and steal that weapon before the Combine can either use it or ship it off world.
Half-Life: Alyx is set five years before the events of Half-Life 2, and its story starts out fairly simple: Eli Vance and his engineer compatriot Russell stumble upon information that indicates the Combine have some sort of super weapon locked in a floating vault deep inside City 17’s quarantine zone.
