lore question

[joe moter]

I want my vortigaunt hating character to have a reason to hate vortigaunts, not just a dumb "i hate vorts because im bad guy"
During that time when vorts were falling out of portals during their enslavement from that baby looking thing, I was wondering if they were killing regular people and not just Freeman and Black Mesa staff.
What I'm saying is
During the original portal storms were vortigaunts killing average Joe's?
And if so, can a vortigaunt be the reason for a loved ones death?

They killed many average Joe Moter's. This has been a talking point of anti-vort loyalists before. (me)

And yes

And if so, can a vortigaunt be the reason for a loved ones death?

Vorts ate babies.

i personally believe vorts will eat humans, so my personal lore is that my char saw a vort eating his crewmate's corpse and had to kill him.

yes, vortigaunts and humans were on bad terms for three years, even after the combine invaded, a grand elder by the name of "The Dragon of the East" went on a rampage against humans in china, killing tons of innocent people
