The mighty god of war himself thunders his way on to this
list partly due to his enormous body count. Kratos has killed gods, men, demons,
monsters and even the occasional pony. Yes he's angry but then again he's actually a misunderstood man. His anger is due in part to the killing of his
family by Ares the previous god of war whom he replaced by way of decapitation.
Kratos is a tortured soul haunted by the actions of his past. He seeks only peace and
redemption and of course Zeus's head in his trophy case.
Master chief
Ah Chief ... he wormed his way into our hearts and he's set to
return on one more mission later this year. Chief is a subtle character in that
he rarely speaks. Ir provides some leeway, it still depicts him as a real
person but it provides a lot of room for gamers to actually become the character
their playing. Silent protagonists are a double edged sword, they always seem
like dead soulless roid monkeys who where just given a gun, and yet this
provides leeway for us, the players to replace the characters emotions with our
own. But the fact that Chief was both silent and voiced provided us with an
interesting character who we learned about and poured our own emotions into.
Ezio
Ezio Auditore Da Firenze is the current playable character in the Assassin's Creed saga. We've followed him through most of his life and fought all of his greatest fights. Ezio reshaped Italy and Istanbul by way of many assassinations remaining steadfast in his convictions along the way. He recruited many to his cause shaping men and women into mighty warriors who fought for liberty and justice. While the first game could be seen as mainly a revenge plot, it brought us a character whose life we would follow until the bitter end. But the man himself descirbes it the best.
"For three decades i fought for those who suffered the pain of injustice."
