10 Video Game Characters Fans LOVE (That You Never See)
3. Frank - The Last Of Us
Joel and Ellie might be the stars of The Last of Us, but this doesn’t mean that the rest of the cast has nothing to offer.
Each of the supporting characters is interesting in their own unique way, and if they were given more time on screen, the fans of the series would probably love them just as much as the main duo. This also goes for Frank who, despite having zero screen time, has been able to pique most people's interest anyway.
Frank is the deceased partner of one of Joel’s associates, Bill, who is only mentioned posthumously in the game. Aside from a few voice lines, notes, and his rotting skeleton, not much is known about him, but whatever little context clues there are, it’s still enough to make him a compelling character.
Frank and Bill’s lovers' quarrel is an incredible bit of storytelling. Their clashing personalities constantly driving them apart until Frank eventually commits suicide is written so well that it’s easy to picture what Frank was like, even though you’ve never actually met him.
Of course, many people love Frank and Bill for their more touching portrayals in the HBO show, but the in-game versions are just as great.
