7. Loghain Mac Tir - Dragon Age

Depending on your view of the battle at Ostagar, the actions of Loghain Mac Tir were either that of an opportunistic villain sneering as good King Cailan fell, or a pragmatic veteran commander witnessing a doomed battle and choosing to not let anymore soldiers die for a lost cause.

Either way, Loghain Mac Tir is a complicated man. One who does many unforgivable things over the course of the story, but all with the aim of protecting the country he loves, the country he fought and sacrificed so much to liberate, from what he felt were encroaching enemies.

When you have him at the end of your sword, and if you choose to kill him to avenge your comrades, he has one last talk with his beloved daughter, the Queen of Ferelden Anora.

Though short, it shows that some part of Loghain truly was the hero that all of the tales about him spoke of.
