I was playing Half Life 2 (haven't played episode 1&2 yet, so please forgive if I mention something which has already been proven/disproven) and this strange theory popped in my head while talking to a vortiguant.

What if all the prominent characters except G-Man are not mentioned by their names, but "job-titles" of sorts. Hear me out, the Vortiguants always refer to Gordon and Eli as THE Freeman and THE Eli Vance. What if, this is something the G-Man does every once in a while to keep a check on the human race and Freeman and Eli and Alyx and all are just titles that are given to people who have to be the representatives of the human race??
