#7 Alex Mercer
An uncharacteristic addition to this list, Alex being a bit of an anti-hero, he gets to be on this list because of how he was unwittingly infected with the experimental virus. Ok, that may be a lie. He finds out over the course of the game that he accidentally infected himself after getting himself gunned down by the army he was working for, but there ya go. Mercer’s story isn’t the tragic one in this case as much as the backstory of the world is, what with the Blacklight virus meant to target specific races and whatnot.
Still, I’d probably turn into a genocidal shapeshifting maniac if I were him too.
