Todo: add image(s) for this entity

Three-armed final boss which is like a controller but bigger and meaner. It is the runaway slave of Combine and the last of its generation and said to be the head controller of the invasion of the Xen Forces to Earth. It can teleport players to the scripted locations and also attack with electrical particles. When available, it can recharge its power, making it impossible to kill him without destroying the rechargers first.
