Sharing physical commonalities with the Scientist, she would also have knowledge of the G-Man's involvement in the Incident, and understand how vital it is that he remain in containment. Another popular theory is that the Scientist is Colette Green, a research scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility at the time of the Incident in Half-Life: Decay.

Alas, Mossman speaks with that of a calm and professional demeanor compared to that of the Scientist, who speaks with confidence and snarkiness. However, it is unknown if Mossman had any knowledge of the G-Man in Half-Life 2 and it's subsequent episodes. This is a popular theory since both the unnamed Scientist in Half-Life: Alyx and Mossman are female scientists who colluded with the Combine.


There is never any confirmation as to the Scientist's identity in the game, so it is unknown if the Scientist is a character that has appeared in previous Half-Life installments, or if she is a brand new character. The identity of the Scientist has been left up to speculation since the release of the game.She uses sarcasm and snippiness in her tone of voice, indicating her frustration with her superiors, and fearlessness of any repercussions from them for talking up to them with a level of disrespect. While not much about her character is revealed in the game, it is known that she acts condescending towards the Advisors, proudly claiming that she is her own supervisor. She frustratingly orders the Advisors to move the Vault, but it is too late, as Alyx and the Vortiguants would later go on to crash the Vault to the ground, and liberate the G-Man. She expresses familiarity of his involvement in the Black Mesa Incident, after having detonated the atomic bomb which wiped out the laboratory at the end of Half-Life: Opposing Force. She affirms the severity of the situation, fearing the G-Man's release, although not mentioning him by name. When Alyx further approaches the Vault, she walks in on an argument between the Scientist and a Combine Advisor, who she speaks at with condescension and derision. This is futile, however, as she manages to overcome and kill them.

When the Scientist receives word that Alyx Vance entered the Quarantine Zone, and had brought down one of the Vault’s power stations, the Scientist has Combine Soldiers attempt to kill her.

Much like Wallace Breen, her fear of him being released confirms or indicates that she is aware of the G-Man’s capabilities, such as how he can influence a series of events. In the fifteen years following the Combine’s takeover of Earth, the Scientist personally overlooked the G-Man's capture, and containment in the Vault, a fortified structure suspended in the air through cables powered by the energy from enslaved Vortiguants. It is inferred that due to her knowledge of the G-Man’s involvement in the Black Mesa incident, she was formerly a research scientist there that was among the humans who defected to the Combine following the Seven Hour War. Not much is known about the Scientist's backstory, or her true identity, as the player only sees her silhouetted shadow, and does not interact with her physically as she is only seen in an inaccessible room.
