Half-Life’s Biggest Mystery | The G-Man | FULL Half-Life Lore

The Half-Life series is filled with mysteries that, at this point, may never be solved. At the top of this list is the entity that follows the player across Black Mesa, and a Combine controlled Earth 20 years later.
This entity, known by many outside of this world, possessed incredible power and appeared to be a man playing a giant game of chess with the characters as his pawns. Always watching from a distance.

Who or what was he? Who were his employers? What made him an enemy of The Combine? Was he good or bad? And what was his ultimate plan? In this video, we explore Half-Life’s biggest mystery through the lore, story, and theories behind The G-Man.
