Dr. Isaac Kleiner is a Fictional Character from the Video Games '' Half-Life '' and '' Half-Life 2 ''. He is one of the few survivors of the incident that took place in the Black Mesa Research Facility . Some sources erroneously refer the character as Dr. ''Alex'' Kleiner, based on an apparent inaccuracy in the strategy guide of the original ''Half-Life''. Although Dr. Kleiner's character design is based on the "'' when Dr. Keller mentions he " {Link without Title} not understand what Kleiner sees in that boy," referring to Gordon. Dr. Kleiner, who recommended Gordon Freeman for employment at Black Mesa, worked with him as part of the facility's Anomalous Materials team and was one of his professors at MIT . He manages to survive the Resonance Cascade disaster of the first game with the aid of Doctor Eli Vance , though exactly how he escapes is unknown. Along with colleagues (and fellow survivors) Alyx Vance , Dr. Eli Vance , and Barney Calhoun , he makes up the core of the Resistance against the Combine . Dr. Kleiner has set up a lab underground in City 17 . A Teleportation system, developed jointly by Kleiner and Vance, allows for near-instantaneous transportation between Kleiner's lab and Vance's facility, several miles distant. As a pet, Dr. Kleiner keeps a debeaked Headcrab he calls " Lamarr " (a reference to 1930s Actress and Inventor Hedy Lamarr ). In the Strategy Guide for the original ''Half-Life'', a Dr. Alex Kleiner is mentioned, which can be assumed to be the same person. This likely an error, although it is entirely possible during the development of ''Half-Life 2'' he had his name changed, and is most likely the same person mentioned at the beginning. In a new screenshot of '''' which was released in February 2006, Kleiner is shown on one of the video screens usually reserved for Doctor Breen 's propaganda tasks, proving that he's still alive after the events of ''Half-Life 2''. His Voice in ''Half-Life 2'' was provided by Harry S. Robins , the voice of all scientists in the original '' Half-Life ''. |
