Colonel Odessa Cubbage is a minor character in the First Person Shooter Computer Game , '' Half-Life 2 '', appearing briefly in a Highway 17 (Chapter 7) level of the game. Cubbage is part of the Resistance against the Combine , speaking in a distinctly Upper Class English Accent . His model was based on the Martial Arts trainer for one of the game's developers. Odessa's model was orginally intended for a character named "Odell" in ''Half-Life 2''. Odell was the engineer of a science ship-vessel that was stranded in the sea. In the behind-the-scenes book ''Raising the Bar'', it is not made clear if the sea was drained by Combine forces, thus stranding the ship, or if the boat was locked in ice. Odell was the only remaining crew member of the ship, called the ''Borealis'', and was the leader of a small group of rebels that Gordon would meet. ROLE IN ''HALF-LIFE 2'' Odessa Cubbage leads a small Resistance base and town, dubbed "New Little Odessa", in a coastal region outside City 17 . When Gordon Freeman arrives at New Little Odessa en route to Nova Prospekt , he is directed by a resistance fighter into a basement of a building, where Cubbage is briefing members on the use of the Rocket Launcher against Combine Gunships . Looking for a volunteer to test it, and spotting Gordon's arrival, Cubbage hands him the weapon, allowing Gordon to down a gunship that arrives shortly afterwards. With the base saved from defeat, Odessa Cubbage sends him on his way, by allowing members of his team to open a gate, thus allowing Gordon to travel further along the coast. Cubbage can be last seen communicating via radio to Lighthouse Point, another resistance base where Gordon will have to abandon his Dune Buggy and resume his journey to Nova Prospekt on foot. His fate after Gordon's visit, and ''Half-Life 2'', remains unknown. Before arriving at New Little Odessa, Odessa Cubbage can be spotted speaking with the G-Man as the player views the base through a Spotting Scope -type device, sparking theories that the G-Man may have aided the resistance team in some way, in the form of a warning of the impending Combine gunship assault, or even the supply of rocket launchers. |
