31. G-Man(Half-Life)
Who is he? Who does he work for? Is he even human? He can travel through dimensions and appear anywhere without getting hurt. He is able to slow time and freeze people. Can he see the future? It might be possible. It is hard to tell with him. He was there for the Black Mesa Incident and is now the overseer and employer of Gordon Freeman, using him when the situation arises. And 20 years after the incident, he wakes Dr. Freeman once more to begin a campaign against the Combine soldiers of the current Earth.
He is not as omniscient as he seems apparently, as he shows distinct anger and frustration when Vortigaunts invade his personal realm to free Dr. Freeman. Instead of fighting them, he merely teleports Freeman into a pile of rubble.
His gaunt facial features and thin frame is complimented by a very odd way of speaking. Raspy and unnervingly calm, he speaks with an odd inflection to some words and elongates consonants on occasion.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. But what happens when one man is everywhere?
Best moment: His bizarre speech to Dr. Freeman at the beginning of Half-Life 2, instructing him to "rise and shine"
