The best character in the entire Half-Life series is Gordon Freeman. You play as him. If there was no Gordon Freeman, you wouldn't be able to experience the amazing Half-Life 2 or even the original Half-Life.
He's better than Barney, Alyx, or Dr. Breen because they have their own problems. Alyx relies too much on the player, Barney is mean and sarcastic as if he knows everything, and Dr. Breen acts as though he can't accomplish anything without you despite having little to show for it.

Gordon Freeman is the protagonist of the Half-Life video game series. Gordon, or you, the player, is a really cool character. He battles soldiers, alien monsters, and bacteria-generated bugs. I vote for Gordon Freeman because he has the most extensive backstory in the entire game series.

G-Man

This guy is mysterious and creepy in a cool way.

Who is he? Where did he come from? Where did he go?

He should be number 1.

Barney Calhoun

I have reasons for Barney Calhoun being my favorite character. Firstly, his sarcasm is so sharp that it's humorous. Secondly, he plays a crucial role in the storyline of Half-Life 2. Thirdly, he's highly intelligent and well-informed about the laboratory where the game begins.
Fourthly, he's the most entertaining person throughout the entire apocalypse. Who else would take the time to be sarcastic or humorous under such circumstances? Lastly, he's pretty relaxed. I believe that if knowledgeable people were to vote on this list, Barney Calhoun would come out on top.

Barney Calhoun is my favorite character. I love his sarcasm, unlike my friends who think he can be somewhat mean. I believe he is one of the more sophisticated secondary characters in Half-Life 2.

Alyx Vance

Number 1 character in Half-Life games.

Heart of the Half-Life games.

Dr. Breen

Dog

He's a cool robot. He's friendly, and he's smart.

Adrian Shephard

His survival skills, in my opinion, surpass those of Freeman or Calhoun, even though those two do not fall short either.

There is not much about him, but he survives messed-up stuff.

He is the best.

Father Grigori

Father Grigori is a very interesting character. He has seen all his friends and loved ones turn into monsters, and now he spends his last days granting them peace.

He's a creepy, heavyset guy, but he ends up being cooler than you think.

The most interesting character.

Lamarr

No one can dislike this lovable headcrab. She is so considerate and understood the greatness of Half-Life 2 so well that she added extra gameplay time by breaking the teleporter for an entire chapter.

Pet headcrab. Best headcrab.

Dr. Kleiner

Dr. Kleiner is a cool guy. He's a scientist from Black Mesa, and he survived. The story would not be the same without him.
