G-Man

Sign in to edit

The G-Man is an enigmatic entity who appears several times in HLVR:AI. Not much is known about his motives or history, beyond him being the father of Tommy. G-Man's actor, Mike, describes him as "an alien with knowledge over the entire human race in his hands".

Description[]

G-Man is a pale, older man who works for mysterious employers. His primary concern seems to be that of his sons safety and happiness, even bringing him to Chuck E. Cheese's for this 37th birthday. He's typically seen wearing a dark blue suit with a black tie. He staunchly believes that Chuck E. Cheese is a family entertainment center, and not a restaurant.
