The Combine Advisor, also known as the Shu'ulathoi, are an iconic part of the Half-Life timeline. Although their existence was hidden from the Resistance, these creatures were essential in the invasion of Earth and The Combine's tight control of the planet.

Where did these creatures come from, how much of an impact did they have on the Combine Invasion of Planet Earth and how deep does their lore go? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind The Combine Advisor in Half-Life.
