Eli Vance

Eli Vance is a central figure in the human resistance against the rule of the alien empire called the Combine. He is the father of resistance leader Dr. Eli Vance's daughter, Alyx Vance, and a close friend and ally of Gordon Freeman. He is first encountered in Half-Life 2 as the father of Alyx and a member of the Resistance. In Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Eli is killed by two creatures called Advisors before Dog saves Gordon and Alyx. In Half-Life: Alyx, the G-Man gives Alyx a vision of her father's death in exchange for freeing him, and gives her the power to kill the Advisor, saving Eli's life.
