Breen recognized Freeman in the encounter, issuing a manhunt in City 17. Breen and Freeman meet in the flesh when the latter's teleporter malfunctions, accidentally transporting him to Breen's office. He additionally tells the citizens whyįollowing Gordon Freeman's deployment into City 17, Breen is alerted by his arrival, and his past as a scientist who was a part of the test which caused the Black Mesa Incident.

I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. It is strongly inferred due to the Scientist's knowledge of the G-Man, that Breen oversaw the G-Man's imprisonment in the Vault above the Quarantine Zone, and knew what he was capable of. Later, according to Breen's remarks in the final chapter Dark Energy in Half-Life 2, it is implied more than ever that Breen was aware of the G-Man and his employers. This is seen in various points of City 17, prominently in the train station, where Breen is welcoming the citizens.īy the events of Half-Life: Alyx (although never making a direct appearance), Breen continued to be seated in power, and continued to oversee Combine operations in City 17. It is implied that Breen helped spread Combine propaganda across City 17, issuing Breencasts which establish a second connection between Breen and the citizens of City 17.

Breen had fortified himself above ground in the Citadel, where he had set his primary base of operations establishing a communication with the Combine. Breen had been criticized for their action, although he defended himself.īreen was seated in power in City 17, a Combine-occupied city in Eastern Europe, to which he ruled with complete control over its citizens, enforcing an oppressive, fascist government. The G-Man, also present at Black Mesa, is revealed to have been stealing one of the crystals, revealing a connection between him and Breen.įollowing the incident, after the Seven-Hour War, Breen negotiated an agreement with the invasive force, the Combine, agreeing in exchange for immunity to be Earth's administrator and the Combine's human representative at the expense of humanity's freedom, although in actuality the Combine were using him as a puppet and a face for the higher forces in the organization. It is hinted that Breen in some part was responsible for the Incident, as he had supplied the sample for the Anti-Mass Spectrometer Xen crystals, found next to many deceased Survey Team members, indicating a great human cost and the "lengths" he had to take to find them. Here, Breen worked alongside several colleagues, including Isaac Kleiner, Eli Vance and Gordon Freeman, all of whom would later oppose him. Wallace Breen was the administrator of the Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico, and frequently collaborated with the Anomalous Materials research team in Sector C. It is highly inferred that Breen is the crossed-out scientist in the middle.
