Biography
Mirt was a soldier and mechanic who lived at the White Forest base. When Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance entered the base, he opened the gate in the main structure for them as he was going out on patrol, and asked for permission to have Dog come patrol with him in case he found any Combine. Alyx allowed him to take the massive robot with him. When Mirt had returned from patrolling, the Combine had attacked the Secondary Silo and were on their way with a huge force of Striders and Hunters. To assist Freeman, he made several adjustments to his muscle car. Mirt added a Magnusson Device-holding rack in the back and a feature that allowed his suit to track his car and vice versa. He also updated the radar system to pick up Combine units (Large red blips for Striders and small blips for Hunters) and also track undamaged rebel buildings, ammo dumps, and Magnusson Device Delivery Ports. He was one of the only rebels optimistic about their chances by this point, and wished Freeman luck. Later on, after the battle, Mirt was among the rebels celebrating in the halls of White Forest. He pointed out Freeman to the other rebels as Freeman entered. He also told Freeman that the Combine were falling back, and Mirt believed that this was the start of pushing them off of Earth completely.
