The G-Man

The G-Man is the overarching antagonist of the Half-Life series.
It remains a mystery about who he is, what he represents, and what his motives are. But he is responsible for creating a lot of the conflict in the games, such as him instigating the Black Mesa incident which led to the Seven Hour War, which then led to the Combine taking over earth and turning it into a tyrannical regime, all we know is that he’s doing all of this for his organization and to please his “employers”.
He was voiced by Michael Shapiro.
