6. The Boss - Metal Gear Solid 3
In a series full of tragic figures, Metal Gear Solid 3 has quite possibly the most tragic heroine of the series. Known simply as "The Boss", she serves as the mentor and trainer of then code-named, Naked Snake.
The game kicks off with Snake finding out that his mentor and her squad have defected, leaving the world poised on the brink of war when a terrorist leader detonates a nuclear warhead. It then falls to Snake to take out said mentor and friend for the good of all.
However, when Snake confronts Boss, she informs him that this was all part of her mission. Thanks to the nuke going off, her mission was to play the part of the traitor in a convoluted and rather twisted political quagmire, eventually taking the blame and dying at the hands of Snake himself.
She fulfils her mission, dying with only a few knowing the truth of the Boss's true patriotism and unshakable loyalty.
