Victory Mine Vortigaunt

The Warrior, or simply Warrior, is a Vortigaunt character in Half-Life 2: Episode 2, known for his combatative attitude and willingness to assist Gordon Freeman in battle against the Antlions to save Alyx Vance.

Biography
The Warrior was presumably one of many Vortigaunts enslaved as a soldier/worker by Nihilanth, and was likely set free from this position by Gordon Freeman's actions in Half-Life. He, along with all other known Vortigaunts, then came to Earth, where his kind declared themeselves allies of humanity and were enslaved when the Combine overtook Earth in the Seven-Hour War.

Upon Gordon's destruction of the Citadel at the end of Half-Life 2, he was set free alongside all other Vortigaunts, and took refuge in the woodlands not far from White Forest. At the time of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, he was hunting alongside several other Vortigaunts for Advisors, not far from a large series of Antlion-controlled tunnels. He called off his hunt momentarily during the chapter To the White Forest, when he found Gordon Freeman trapped alonside a badly injured Alyx Vance. Setting Gordon free, he then took Alyx under his care, stabilizing her condition.

During a brief time during which Gordon and the Warrior were seperated, the Warrior brought Alyx to a small tunnel occupied by the Resistance members Sheckly and Grigs. When Gordon and the other Vortigaunts arrived, they determined that, to save Alyx, they would need to retrieve the larval extract from deep within the Antlion Hive, a mission that they entrusted to Gordon Freeman and the Warrior.

In the chapter This Vortal Coil, Gordon and the Warrior traveled into the hive, evaded the hostile Antlion Guardian, retrieved the vital extract, and worked their way back to Sheckly and Grigs' lair to restore Alyx to health. With Alyx healed but still weak, the Warrior decided to escort her and Gordon to the surface, where, in the chapter The Freeman Pontifex, he helped them battle through Antlion and Zombie hordes to reach a vehicle. Upon them reaching their destination, the Warrior bid them farewell and returned to hunting Advisors.

His fate afterward is not known.
