10 Intimidating Video Game Characters We're Glad Were On Our Side!

It's worth establishing that Zer0, the possibly alien assassin and all-around murder aficionado, is a force to be reckoned with in any of the games he features in.

However, were he to have been an enemy in the regular Borderlands games, this would have equated to an especially difficult boss fight, since every other playable character in the roster is equally capable of providing death and destruction.

In Tales From The Borderlands, however, you play as a Rhys, who is significantly less capable in terms of fighting capabilities. Like, underline that in your mind. Significantly less.

As such, the fact Zer0 repeatedly saves your ass in the series is a godsend, because if he'd wanted to murder you, you'd be super, super dead. Instead, every time you get into a pickle - which is basically every other moment in the series - there's a good chance the armoured assassin will rock up and help you out, usually in a decidedly badass manner.
