History

Half-Life and War the Seven Hour old

Before the events of Half-Life , Doctor Breen is the administrator of Black Mesa even if it is never mentioned in the play by his name (it is simply called “the Administrator”). After the War the Seven Hour old, it “negotiates” an peace agreement with the Trust which saves humanity, but at the price of its control. Wallace Breen is designated by the Trust as leader of the Earth, in fact a puppet of the Trust which is useful as a physical presence.

Many speculations think that it is him which organized “the incident” of Black Mesa on order of the Trust, with the promise to direct the Earth in reward. Others think that Breen has really the impression which the arrival of the Trust caused between the two races, and which that is finally salutary for the human race (in spite of the suffering whose the remainder of humanity is victim). That it is that which allowed the establishment of the Trust on Earth or not, these intentions seem noble and it seems really convinced that what it does is a good thing. Even if it had egoistic reasons to act thus, the human race probably would have been definitively destroyed or assimilate by the Trust if it had not proposed a rendering to put a term at the Seven Hour old War.

The official guide of Half-Life 2 contains information and images which shows that Breen used, at least at a moment of planning of the scenario if not in the final version, a tower of broadcasting transmitter on the surface (i.e. not in Black mesa) to communicate directly with the Trust and to negotiate rendering. The images shows it with the foot of the tower, carrying an ear-phone connected to the tower,

Another mystery around Breen is at the beginning of Half-Life , when Gordon moves towards the room of test, the two scientists who briefent it say to him that the Administrator took the initiative to recover a sample “” This sentence is without incidence until the player arrives on Xen and see Cristaux similar to that which Freeman pushed in the spectrometer of anti-mass. Close to the crystals on Xen are bodies the scienfitiques ones in combination HEV, which could explain the fronts “” mentioned at the beginning of the play.

Half-Life 2

Wallace Breen is alerted return of Gordon Freeman when Gordon is accidentally téléporté temporarily in its office, all in top of the Citadel. Breen into formless the Trust and dispatche immediately its troops to capture Freeman and break the resistance movement in Cité 17.

During its incursion into the Citadel, Freeman is held by Breen, until Judith Mossman is turned over against the former administrator. During this passage, Breen It also asks Gordon if it knew that its services were opened with highest offerer, and understands that Gordon does not want to speak about it in front of his/her friends. This remark implies that Breen is with the current of the existence of the mysterious G-Man and its influence on Freeman, thing whose no other character seems to be well-informed. It was also mentioned in one of in with Nova Prospekt: “”

When human resistance starts to loosen the influence of the Trust on Earth, Wallace Breen decides to flee via a teleportor of the Trust. Freeman manages to stop it by destroying the Engine with Black Energy of the Citadel, which carries the teleportor in a gigantic explosion.

Half-Life 2: Episode One

The destiny of Breen remains unknown in Episode One . Its only appearance in the play is in a kind of flashback or dream with Gordon at the beginning of the play, requiring of Freeman Breen also appears during the diffusion of a video recording of a conversation which took place in Half-Life 2 , in which it mentions its transfer in body host. After having seen the sequence, Alyx is astonished and wonders how it is possible, but is relieved when she notices that it is an old recording - apparently, she believes that Breen died well. In the same scene, which seems to be one (with the serial number 314 URB-LOC 0017) is moved through a tube of launching, where it begins a psychic attack against Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance.

It is apparently about an act of hostility deliberated, and video recording right before implies that the creature observed would not be other than Wallace Breen in his new body. That does not exclude the possibility that Breen really died and that is to it simply it with which Breen spoke right before the end about Half-Life 2 . The two ideas are supported by the name of the file “AI_Adviser_Breen” inside the files of the plays. The comments of the play integrated by Valve during the scene are evasive about the creature and states simply that what occurs in the part is an significant event for the events to come in Episode Two .

Breencasts

In very Quoted 17, one can frequently see Wallace Breen through giant screens which it uses to be made see and understand by the citizens and the troops of the Trust. Its speeches (“Breencasts”) are primarily at ends of propaganda pro-Trust. Breen refers to the Trust as being “the Universal Union” or “Our Benefactors” without never using the word safe “Trust” with an aim of scoffing this term and those which employ it. However, when it is not in public, it seems to use this term for itself.

Progressively of its projection in the play, Breen is addressed directly to Gordon Freeman through its screens. In these, he pleads in favor of Freeman to convince it to stop his tour towards the Citadel. He also shows a certain fear and his disappointment compared to the Trust.

In Episode One , a citizen can be intended to say to another: Doctor Breen I do not miss <>
