npc_eli
is a point entity available in Half-Life 2,
Half-Life 2: Episode One,
Half-Life 2: Episode Two,

Black Mesa.
Dr. Eli Vance, Earth's last great hope, single-handedly fighting off both an evil alien invasion, as well as trying to stop that idiot lab assistant from putting the moves on his daughter.
