The Combine Assassin,[1] also known as Female Assassin or simply Assassin, is a transhuman enemy cut from Half-Life 2, the successor of Half-Life’s female assassin and a predecessor of the Overwatch Elite, who inherited her helmet.[1]

[edit] Overview
The Combine Assassin is mostly a slimmer and female version of the Overwatch Elite, with an almost identical helmet.
She uses two automatic pistols (and originally some kind of rifle[1]), and a variety of melee attacks. She is shown to be a quick and resourceful enemy, moving swiftly and performing flips, rolls, and other movements. She also wears heel springs, recycled as the Advanced Knee Replacement for Chell in Portal, that improves her movements and speed. The armor and padding are almost completely absent, allowing the assassin to move quickly. When she dies, the light on her helmet slowly goes off.[2]
Four individuals were to be seen "stored" frozen in tanks in the Borealis.[3]
[edit] Fate
The Combine Assassin survived as the Overwatch Elite helmet and in the arcade version of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Survivor, as several custom player models.

Concept art for "I.A. Latham", simply referred to as "female protagonist" in Raising the Bar. This denomination likely refers to a very early version of Alyx (being "protagonist" and not "antagonist"), where she was to wear leather straps and probably a breathing mask with a single "eye", recycled in the Combine Assassin, and originally to retract and reveal the face. |
