G-man is one of the most mysterious game characters ever. So my goal is to find out as much about him as I can. Type down anything about G-man which you think makes sense.

Wasn't he the Boss at black masa? I never played Half-life 1 but thats what I heard. But I think hes like...I don't know, a time traveler or a god or something. Maybe we'll never know, I think they could keep the mystery going until Half-life 3 before it starts getting boring, I just hope its not a let down and hes infact gordon

We know nothing other than he can't speak properly.
I'm assuming he's a stroke victim of some kind.

Also, he has a nervous disorder that causes him to constantly fix his tie.

And I'm pretty sure he votes republican.

He invented PI

But really, I don't know, I have my suspicions he is a computer projection.

You want theories?
He could be a government agent, but why couldn't the soldiers see him in Opposing Force?
He could be Gordons subconscieous, but why does he appear in Opposing Force and Blue Shift?
Truth is, we have no idea and that's all for the best.

No, the closest you can get to a boss is dr breen, The g-man entered the crystal that started it all.

Also an interseting quote "I tool the liberty of removing you of all your weapons, most of them were government propety afterall"

What the FUCK are those administrator thingies?! Y'know, the brain eating floating maggots (that are about a million times bigger than one).

Here's my theroy. A man from Generic Government Agency of Saftey(herby refered to as GGAS) was sent to Black Mesa to oversee the teleportation experiment. While on the tram to the lab, g-man is possesed by Satan, the speech impediment caused by the mind of g-man trying to resist. Before the crystal can be carried up to the testing chamber, g-man carefully cuts the crystal so that it's resonance frequency can cause an event that opens a gateway to Xen. G-man goes into Xen and makes first contact with the Nihilanth, the emporer of the border world, G-man tells Nihilanth that Earth has intentions of destroying Xen, Nihilanth then orders all the Vortigaunt to attack Earth. The powers of Satan manifest just in time for G-man to A.)Be on a tram telling Gordon to go into stasis or be uber-raped by an army of monsters and B.)Be on a V-22 Osprey telling Adrian Shepard that he will be kept in a crazy intra-dimensional prison forever.

Half-Life 2:G-man, having better manifested his Satan powers, first takes Gordon out of stasis whilst shoving him through flashbacks, previews, and negative shading effects before dumping him on the next train to generic post-apocalyptic town #17. He fucks with you throughout the entire game, but only majorly steps in again when he saves your ass from an anti-matter explosion when you thought it would be a fun idea to throw vaporization balls at a teleporter.

Half-Life 2 E1:You and Alyx are still standing frozen in time on the top of an exploding tower, when some vortigaunts save you, no G-man to my knowledge. E2:G-man seems really pissed at the vortigaunts who saved you at the beginning of E1, also G-man freezes time again to stand over an unconcious and mortally wounded Alyx and implies that he kidnapped Alyx as a baby or something, tells a combine advisor where to find Alyx's dad.
Advisor gets stabbity on Alyx's dad before he can tell Gordon about Gman

He has been seen talking to scientists, soldiers and resistance workers, also a character made a certain reference that I don't want to allude further towards because I hate ruining such an excellent story.

In Half Life 2 you I think it might be the level after Ravenholme (Highway 17?) you can look through a telescope and see him talking to the leader of the rebels. Also I was more or less under the impression that he was some sort of mercenary. I think the G-Man says that he went to the highest bidder. I always imagined him going through all these different universes. A bit like an inter-dimensional A-Team, except he actually kills people.
