10 Amazing Video Game Characters That Were Killed Off Way Too Quickly

7. Lenny - Red Dead Redemption 2

Pretty much every death in Red Dead Redemption 2 happens suddenly and hits you right in the feels with the strength of a thousand emotional trucks.

Sean, Kieran, and Hosea - all of these characters' deaths seem to happen too soon, but at the very least they manage to serve their purpose in the story and have their own character arcs.

This is what separates them from Lenny.

Though Lenny's death happens much later than that of any of the above, it still feels like his character has been severely underutilized, and it's taken away from you in the most undeserved fashion possible. The guy doesn't even get to die in a cutscene, for Pete's sake!

You only get to spend about ten minutes with him throughout the entire game, and he barely ever accompanies you on missions, which is a shame, as in the short time you share with him, he seems to be a fun character that could serve a larger role within the gang.

He's charismatic, quick-witted, and alongside Dutch, he is one of the best-educated men in the camp. It feels like he really should've had more opportunities to use his brain.

Instead of getting his brains blown out by a random gunman in Saint Denis!
