I have taken alot of information from the Half-Life wiki just to let you know. I have came up with the theory on what is Gman's purpose in the story. What is he trying to do?
WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED ANY OF THE HALF LIFE GAMES, THIS WILL CONTAIN TONS OF SPOILERS!!!
First of all, who is he? I think for sure he isn't 100% human. Mainly because of his weird talk, his mysterious teleportation, and gloomy appearance. I think he is some alien species that the Combine have already conquered. Lets call him the shape shifter. He is able to turn into other living things.
During one day at Black Mesa, a Survey team member was on Xen. As he got back to the labs, someone followed him which was the shapeshifter. The shape shifter lurked all over the facility in probably invisible I guess? He shape shifted into a random government inspector at the Facility who looks exactly like the Gman as we know it.
Now, what Gman is trying to do is to get the Combine to invade Earth. But actually, this is a master plan.
I'm gonna relate this to Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars because this is exactly what he is trying to do. Working on both sides for years to get the Empire going. Same as Half Life.
Since the shapeshifter is now the Gman, he has access to all information of Earth and the United States Government.
According to the wiki, The Nilhilanth and his vortigaunt minions were pushed away from their homeworld to Xen. Xen is possibly under Combine occupation but not as secured as what Earth with be in 2020. The Nihilanth and his minions are basically a pawn in the Combine's plan. They don't want any single trace of the Combine to go to Earth so they use the Xenian forces as the "marines".
Now back to Gman. Gman goes to Santego Military Base where the HECU is being stationed and trained. He orders the commander to train their marines more and are informed that they will be deployed in the "Black Mesa Facility" soon. Shepard infers that something is up. And Gman is interested in Shepard. When Gman has interest in certain people, they are probably his "boosters". Boosters is what makes Gman's work progress faster, as he simply can't do everything by himself.
Gman goes to Black Mesa the following week to start up the invasion, by ordering the crystal sample to be used at Sector C labs. This is ordered at Wallace Breen at the time when he was the Administrator of the facility. Gman knows that Gordon Freeman will be the one who will trigger the event. Gman at this phase has a small interest in Freeman. Before the Resonance Cascade occured, The Gman met with Eli Vance, he used the phrase, "Prepare for Unforseen Consequences". This infers that Eli Vance has his baby daughter, Alyx Vance which hints that Alyx is the only child at Black Mesa. Gman possibly has feelings for the Vance Family's safety.
Once the Resonance Cascade happened, Gordon Freeman is just using his survival instinct and trying to get the hell out of Black Mesa, except he's just finding out whats going on. He spots the Gman everywhere, waiting for the supposed events he needs to happen. And waiting for Shepard's arrival. Gman's lurk around the Black Mesa facility is also Gman's way of seeing Gordon Freeman as he is almost fearless. Then the interest of Freeman to Gman builds up.
The purpose of Shepard is for him to exterminate Race X. Race X portal rift that was opened with Xen's is just an accident since Race X is interfering with Xen's invasion.
Gman also wanted the Nihilanth dead, as they were just some temporary helpers.
No on knows why the Gman keeps Freeman and Shepard in stasis. Well we do know, Freeman is unleashed in the year 2020 in City 17 but Shepard is yet still detained.
I think the Gman was more interested in Shepard as his helper.
During that time, Gman had some affairs with the Combine. Maybe Gman betrayed the Combine? So, he used Freeman as the man to the stop the Combine on Earth. He could have emotions and careness for humans and other people. Especially Alyx Vance.
Gman said to Freeman in Episode 2, "See her safely to white forest, Dr Freeman." Something is really up with Gman and Alyx. Thats why he told Eli about the unforseen consequences.
If anyone wants to discuss about this, I'm happy to. :E
