10 Video Game Villains Who Sneakily Dropped Hints About Their Big Reveal
6. Admiral Havelock - Dishonored
Dishonored can be divided into two acts: One where Corvo works together with Admiral Havelock and other loyalists and the other where he is betrayed by them.
Yes, although Havelock seems to want to avenge the Empress's death at first, ultimately the old admiral stabs Corvo in the back to put himself in the position of power.
The betrayal is sudden and can take a lot of players by surprise, but if you've taken the time to examine some clues, you would've known something was off about Havelock rather easily.
If you use the Heart from the Outsider to read Havelock's intentions, the device will tell you that he has a certain type of bloodlust in him. Additionally, it can also reveal that he has tried to seize control in the Navy shortly after the Empress's death, painting him as a clearly opportunistic and power-hungry man.
However, you don't even need magical tools to read how much Havelock is ready to sacrifice for power, as he even says it himself!
In one conversation he admits that he would've killed his beloved brother, were he still alive, if it meant achieving what he thought was necessary.
Well, in retrospect, it should've been obvious.
