10 Creepy Video Game Characters You ACTUALLY Root For

The Outsider is the mysterious, seemingly all-powerful, trickster god of the Dishonored series. He can appear before anyone whenever he wishes and knows everything you don't, which also makes him omniscient. In other words, he's always right there with you, watching, waiting to intervene whenever he feels like it.

We say "trickster," because The Outsider doesn't take sides based on morality. He's willing - eager, even - to bestow a whole suite of supernatural powers on anyone he finds interesting, good or bad. The lives of mortals are like a soap opera to him.

But once you learn more about him, he becomes a little harder to judge.

Forcibly taken off the street, chosen seemingly at random, and brutally sacrificed by a cult, The Outsider had no choice in what he became. His body remained frozen in stone while his consciousness traveled The Void, alone, for over 4,000 years, ignorant of his mortal identity.

A god who didn't know what he was or how he came to be - his only clue being the the frozen, screaming, bloody visage of his mortal body - that would desensitize anyone.
