The Combine had many units in their army and when they encountered Earth, they saw the potential of humanity. They created The Stalker, and built the Civil Protection. If someone wanted to be more useful to their benefactors and evolve, they were given the opportunity to become an Overwatch Elite.
Who were these units before their transformation? What made them so effective? And what did the fall of the Citadel mean for their future? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind The Overwatch Elite in Half-Life.
