#3 Captain Price
It’s rare to look at military badasses with pity, but Captain Price should be the one deserving of respect for taking his vengeance by truly any means necessary. He’s not young, he’s been through a lot, he’s visited the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lands and came out alive, carrying his leftenant out of the danger they were in (damn hard mission that was), been shot and left for dead, lived in a gulag for several years, seen most of his former comrades die – if Price was any other man, he’d have been nothing but a shell at this point.
But Captain Price has an epic beard. Also a cigar. It keeps him going.
