40 Best Supporting Video Game Characters Ever

38. Kane €“ Command and Conquer Series

Kane is the chief bad dude in the C&C universe leading the Brotherhood of NOD time and again against the forces of the GDI. The man is ageless, seems indestructible (how many times did we €˜kill€™ this guy?) and has an unrivalled obsession with Tiberium acquisition. Basically, wants to rule the world. Fair enough in our book. Slightly cheesy and camp, but we love you all the same not least of all because Kane is a damned cool name.

37. Kreia €œDarth Traya€ €“ Knights of the Old Republic 2

One of the few things to come out of the sequel game that didn€™t actual reek of rushed rehashing on the parts of the creators. Ridiculously hard to please whether you do good or bad deeds, she basically tries to murder you whatever the outcome. You never quite know where you stand with the creepy old sage - just like mum. We like her passive-aggressiveness, she never tells you what to do, only that you€™ve done whatever it was wrong.

36. Cats €“ Zero Wing

Honestly we mostly love Cats thanks to the internet meme phenomenon €˜All Your Base.€™ We don€™t really care about the game at all, even though it was pretty good for its time. Cats is a bad guy from the old school who only cares about being mean and threatening people with violence...we think. The broken English translation of the game gave us some classic lines from this guy. €œYou are on your way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time.€ Linguistic merriment! Genius.

35. Antonio €œTony€ Cipriani €“ Grand Theft Auto Series

Tony Cipriani is a €˜made man€™, part of the Leone Mafia family that runs Portlandin GTA 3 and Liberty City Stories. Completely and constantly being bitch slapped by his mother, Tony reveals his hurt feelings in a radio interview with Lazlow in the game. He runs around town being the big man, killing people with axes and blowing things up, but is actually just living in the shadow of his father, all because of Ma. Poor Tony! You€™ve got to appreciate a psychotic whose problems mostly stem from try to please his mother, this guy will end up as a Norman Bates for sure.

34. The Pigs €“ Angry Birds

The pigs in Angry Birds are probably the most frustrating and annoying things ever to feature in a game. They laugh and snort at your failure. They have a little piggy King and older pigs with moustaches. Once you get confident in your pig slaying abilities, they start to wear hard hats, making green bacon a rarity on your breakfast plate. We just like the way they deride your failed attempts to reclaim eggs.
