314 URB-LOC 0017 Advisor

314 URB-LOC 0017 Advisor or Advisor 314 URB-LOC 0017 is one of the many Advisors that control the Combine and dominate Earth by the use of Wallace Breen, and is the first Advisor that Gordon and Alyx sees and has contact with.

Half-Life 2: Episode One
During Gordon and Alyx's mission to stop the Citadel from melting down they encounter a strange room launching Advisor Pods to safety.

Alyx, curious to know what was happening in that room,&#160;was shocked to see Breen on the Interface, although it was just a recording. Then, alarm bells ring as Advisor 314 URB-LOC 0017 in its pod prepares to be launched to safety from the self-destructing Citadel. As Alyx examines the foreign creature, the Advisor threatens Gordon and Alyx with a form of&#160;mental damage by telekinesis.

Behind the scenes
The shaft seen in the Citadel in Episode One where the Advisor leaves is one of the oldest concepts created for Half-Life 2. An early WC mappack map ("proto_citadel_advisor.vmf", last edited on October 12th, 2001) features a prototype version of it.
