During this time, Alyx was also on good terms with Isaac Kleiner, referring to him as 'Uncle Kleiner' in an affectionate portrait she once offered him. Alyx was apparently too young to remember this (she does not recognize the G-Man when meeting him as an adult), and although Eli witnessed it, he never shared the story with her.Īlyx was raised by Eli in the world controlled by the Combine, likely at Black Mesa East much of the time.
During the course of the incident, the G-Man was instrumental in rescuing Alyx, despite the objections of unnamed naysayers. When the Black Mesa Incident occurred, Eli managed to escape along with Alyx and a family picture, while Azian was killed in the incident. As a young child, Alyx lived in the dormitories within the confines of the Black Mesa Research Facility along with her father Eli and her mother Azian, while Eli was working at the Sector C Test Labs.
