9. George Stobbart
George Stobbart is perhaps one of the most popular characters in the adventure genre having first appeared back in 1996 in Broken Sword: Shadow Of The Templars. George is a patent lawyer and if I could gaze into a crystal ball I am sure I could tell you that in 100 years he will still be the only patent lawyer to star in a game. George's first adventure begins when he witnesses a bomb in a Parisian cafe and he becomes embroiled in a battle against annual Assassin botherers, The Templars. Another character who prefers to use brains over brawn, which according to Michael Bay just never happens in real life, Georoge manages to uncover mysteries by simply wandering around a room for an age, examining every single item multiple times. Much like fellow hero Guybrush, he also possesses quite possibly the largest jacket pockets of any man in video game history.
