10 Video Game Characters You Unintentionally DOOMED

10. Charles Kinnear - Red Dead Redemption

Since the dawn of mankind, one of humanity's greatest aspirations has been to conquer the skies and soar through the air like a majestic eagle.

Red Dead Redemption 1 allows you to connect with this innate dream by helping an aspiring inventor named Charles Kinnear build his first flying machine. It then takes that dream and crushes it right in front of your face when Mr. Kinnear and his contraption plunge headfirst into their impending doom.

Yes, although your intentions for helping Charles may be good, if not downright noble, the world of Red Dead Redemption is apparently not a place for dreams and ambitions. As soon as you deliver the necessary parts for Charles' flying machine, the man takes it for a test flight and then almost immediately finds himself losing control and falling to his death.

It's a really cruel trick on the game's part, as trying to gather all of the ingredients for Charles' project is incredibly time-consuming. The fact that all your efforts ever amount to is the death of an innocent man who just wanted to realize his dreams is just brutal.

But hey, at least Charles got off better than John.
