For some reason, I want the Freeman to stay away from the G-Man, only to have the G-Man awake Shepard from stasis and send him to kill our beloved hero after he has ended his contract with him.
Awesomeness ensues.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven.

Again?...
& I highly doubt they'll bring any major characters into ep 3....maybe HL3.
Kill? No. But maybe have Gordon get captured and G-Man pulls Adrian out of stasis to go rescue him. Gordon is drugged by the Combine and is so out of it he sees Adrian and tries to fight him. Adrian snaps Gordon out of it and G-Man asks if they would be willing to co-operate in a mission

That's a neat possibility.
Even if Gordon, under direction of the G-Man, defeats the Combine and frees Earth, Earth is still a decimated shell of it's former self. Humanity is still going to need strong leadership to survive, and need leaders who can persevere under adversity.
When putting Adrian is Stasis G-Man made a point that he admires people who can survive. And right after Gordon, Barney, Alyx and even Issac or Grigori, Adrian is just such a person. Grigori may have been unhinged but he stayed alive for 20 years in Ravenholm. (And it's possible he may STILL be alive) Kliener may not seem the heroic type but he survived. Even Chelle managed to survive and triumph by adapting to the situation.
Even if he NEVER gets to fight in another game, Shepard can STILL play a vital role in Earth's future. I imagine G-Man probably WILL pull him out of mothballs sooner or later when he feels the circumstances are ideal. He doesnt strike me as the type to capture and collect butterflies if you will.
Some say leaders are born. But I think there are some instances where leaders are MADE. Grow into a role they never initially saw themselves in. Tenacity and werewithal can be very important.
But NONE of these people saw themselves as leaders. Neither did Shepherd.
