    @@Anastas1786 Except he kind of was. G-Man has seemingly pre-selected a bunch of important individuals into his (or his masters) plan, amongst which you can find Gordon, Shepard and likely others. He has a "classified" sponsor in the facility. He's CONSTANTLY watched by G-Man throughout the game (even before the cascade). And is taken away by him at the end only to end up in the train to City 17 at the start of HL2. Gordon is clearly an important person, it's just that he's important for different reasons. For Black Mesa employees, he's just one of the many PHDs there. But in overal plot of the world, he's possibly one of the most important people out there.
