Thanks to a old thread I created a good user over at Project Beta told me about some cut characters and I want to tell you about them and maybe add them to the wiki (Since the Combine Overwiki never gets updated anymore!)

1. Johanson: He is mentioned by Odell in one of the Borealis levels once entered with Gordon. He was to be likely found or was deceased with the rest of the Borealis crew members once they were both to reach the ship (2002 mid European Era).

2. The Combine Ovewatch Squad: After Alyx Vance tells him her speech before getting taken away the player was to hear a soldiers being deployed to investigate the crash site. The soldiers would talk through their radios/walkie-talkies with normal transhuman voices. Before they leave with a captured Alyx Vance on a chopper the squad leader was to order the remaining two Overwatch soldiers to search the buildings upper floors to work their way down to the lower levels of the skyscraper. During their search they discuss Alyx is talking to someone before being taken away, later with her and Gordon crashing in the scraper with a Ka-27 (Later to be a C-130) which Alyx was probably talking to a Conscript about finding weapons in the building as it was reportedly was used as a cache by the underground and a indirect reference to the cut brickbat. Some think while talking they were to be interrupted by a noise made by the Player (Gordon). The soldiers were to both to look for a way to reach the location of the noise and would use explosives to blow up the rubble in their path. As soon as that happens they were to find themselves right in front of Gordon Freeman. (2001 - 2002 Early Euro Era).

3. The Eccentric in a Quarrytown : While in Ravenholm as it was originally a Quarrytown instead of finding the priest Father Grigori the player would find an Eccentric who'd help fight the headcrab zombies by throwing Molotov Cocktails at them from the roofs of the Quarrie's buildings. The character is a minor character because he only appears in one map.

4. A random canals Citizen of an abandoned City 17 : We were suppose to meet him as the player was to wander through the channels of an abandoned City 17. He was to live in a makeshift house too made out of pallets, Iron sheets, wooden sticks/pillars etc. Not much information is known on this character as he was to probably be a older version of Manhack matt. (Map canals_01 in the 2001 Skyscrapers era - 2002 Mid Euro Era!

5. In the September 2003 maps (found by me) there was to be a guy on a barge/boat that would help you after you found at least a few propane tanks and did a puzzle. ( September 2003 maps 2003 era ).
