Benrey (alternatively spelled Benry) is a main character, later turned antagonist in Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware. First appearing in ACT 1, he works as a security guard at Black Mesa, often tagging along with The Science Team. While Benrey's model is the standard Half-Life security guard model, his personality differs greatly from that of a professional security guard. He is shown to possess many inhuman abilities, including: partial immortality (similar to that of most of the crew), levitation, and being able to freakishly mess with his body. Along with all of that, he is best known for using the Black Mesa Sweet Voice to express himself, influence other's emotions, heal others, and encase corpses within cocoons. Tommy has claimed that Benrey has a "Song of Death" that killed The Black Mesa Golem Ape. Benrey is also able to ignore G-Man's time freezing. It's possible that Benrey is capable of resurrection, or simply living on, as a skeleton for stretches of time, seen stalking the crew during earlier acts before it was later implied that the skeletons were, in fact, also his subordinates. During the final act, Benrey is seen looming over his realm at a gargantuan size, floating through islands and clipping through walls to stalk the crew. Benrey's visual form later shifts to a gradually incomprehensible mess of stretched 3D limbs and body parts, assumed to be his "final form," or what Wayne later describes as a "contortionist's nightmare," within the boss fight. Once defeated by Gordon, he never returns to this form again, and is seen as having returned completely normal in the post-Act 4 bonus scenes.
