is he an ai god from the future reaching back through time to accelerate human technological advancement and ensure his own creation?
>>743304461No he's probably a Shu'ulathoi working against The Combine
>>743304461he’s you, the player
>>743304461he's just a dude
He's more than likely some sort of alien working for a higher race (i.e. his 'employers')
Some believe his ass is inflexible.
>>743304724I disagree
>>743304724It has to be in order to contain GORDON FREEMAN for 20 years
Hes the developer/playtester checking in if everything is running smoothly. God tier fourth wall break
>>743304461He's the save/load manager.>Time, Dr. Freeman?..
>>743304461He is there to help break the cycle.
>>743304461I think whatever he is has nothing to do with humanity. I think he is honest about his employers though. He's some sort of interdimensional intermediary working to sabotage the Combine at the behest of whoever he's working for. Earth is just a proxy war meant to waste the combine's resources, he has no intention of letting humanity win.Either that or he's the mind virus that was infecting the shu'ulathoi before the combine turned them into advisors.
