Sorry to make yet another G-Man topic, but I was wondering about people's theories on this.
(I attempted to search for this, but it was a little hard to get relating results to such a topic)
I was basically wondering who the G-man is/was working for and whether he could be described as good or evil.
In Half-Life, G-man seemingly works for the government or at least be partly related to it from his line in the end. He often refers to his employers, before employing Freeman himself. The G-man is seemingly held responsible for what happened in Black Mesa although it looks like he opposed the experiment.
In Half-Life 2, he brings Freeman back to fight the Combine off. Ironically, Breen, the most powerful man in the game says that Freeman's services were available to the highest bidder, yet he seemingly somehow had been outbid. The Vortiguants also appear to be under his control.
In the first game, G-man had the Nihilanth killed, apparently releasing the portal storms and leading the Combine through Xen to Earth.
In the second game, he stopped the Combine on Earth.
So, what do you guys think? Evil? Good? Mercenary?
Who was he working for in Half-Life, who had more to offer than Breen in Half-Life 2.
