Dr. Breen was the administrator of the Black Mesa Research Facility at the time of the "Black Mesa incident," the events depicted in Half-Life, but he was neither seen nor mentioned by name. After the 7-hours War, he "negotiated" a peace agreement with the Combine that saved humanity, but at the cost of enslavement. Dr. Breen was appointed as ruler of Earth — a puppet of the Combine, who have no physical presence on the planet. Some speculate he may have orchestrated the events of Half-Life at the request of the Combine, with the rule of Earth promised as reward; others believe that Dr. Breen may have been under the impression that introducing the Combine would have brought about a cosmic unity between the two races, and would have been ultimately beneficial for the human race (something that he still clings on to despite the evidently large amounts of human suffering in the game). Whether or not he was the one who introduced the Combine to Earth, his intentions seem to be noble and he sounds quite convinced that he is doing the right thing. Even if he has selfish reasons for doing so, the human race would have most definitely been completely destroyed or assimilated by the Combine had he not surrendered Earth at the end of the 7-hours War.
