"Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?!"
— A scientist


The Half-Life Scientist is a recurring NPC from Half-Life and its expansion packs.

Bio[edit | edit source]

These white-coated men act as the scientific staff of the top-secret Black Mesa facility. Following the alien invasion caused by the Resonance Cascade they unwittingly triggered, they chiefly want to get out of the complex before they get killed by said aliens or US military forces doing a rather unfriendly cleanup operation.

The Black Mesa scientists mostly exist to unlock various doors for the protagonist, but can also heal some of his hitpoints by poking him with a large syringe. Their importance is ranked up in the plots for Blue Shift and Opposing Force.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

A single scientist (cheered on by some of his colleagues) appeared in 8chanmania XCII. He promptly proved as useless in combat as he was in the original games; being kicked out by the Jackie Chan Tulpa.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • While the four different scientist skins in the game were fairly generic, two of them later served as the inspiration for Half-Life 2's Isaac Kleiner and Eli Vance, respectively.
  • Half-Life: Source contains scrapped assets for a female scientist.
