Combine Assassin

Good

The Combine Assassin, also known as Female Assassin or simply Assassin, is an enemy cut from Half-Life 2, the successor of Half-Life’s female assassin and a predecessor of the Overwatch Elite, who inherited her helmet.

Overview
The Combine Assassin is mostly a slimmer and female version of the Overwatch Elite, with an almost identical helmet. The armor and padding are almost completely absent, allowing the assassin to move quickly.

She uses two automatic pistols (and originally some kind of rifle ), and a variety of melee attacks. Like the original female assassin from the original Half-Life, she wears heel springs and is shown to be a quick and resourceful enemy, moving swiftly and performing flips, rolls, and other movements. When she dies, the light on her helmet slowly goes off.

Application
She was to be encountered during the Resistance uprising in City 17, where she was to work in concert with the original Overwatch Sniper, also female. Four individuals were to be seen "stored" frozen in tanks in the Borealis.
