There once was this foreigner in our neck of the woods... Gordon was his name? His whole manner gave out an experienced stalker, but he said he’d never been to the Zone. But anyway, that’s not the point. He did vanish somewhere in the Zone eventually. But he had this rather curious thing, the Black Kite. If I could just take a closer look at it...

Gordon Freeman (Гордон Фримен) was a character who appeared only in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Freeman was a theoretical physicist and an expert on anomalous phenomena. He worked in New Mexico, North America on top secret projects in a former secret laboratory known as "Black Mesa", before going missing (this would be the timeframe of Half-Life 2). He arrived in the Zone sometime around 12.01.2012. During his trips, he remarked that he had to sell his crowbar for a can of meat (the crowbar was his signature weapon and explains why he was killed) and grumbles about the Zone's lack of action. As an experienced gunfighter and scientist, Gordon Freeman is very much a capable fighter despite his scientist background. He died in late April 2012 in an underground tunnel in the Wild Territory. Cause of death is unknown, but it is possible it was due to an Emission or Electro anomalies.
