Gears Of War: Ranking EVERY Character From Worst To Best
9. Niles Samson
For most of the Gears of War series, Niles is one of the more elusive characters and one of the oldest. One of the very few to be alive Pre-Pendulum Wars, his original focus was to cure those with Rust Lung, but it didn’t take long for his acts to become far more sinister.
The player never meets him in a living form, but instead, in Gears 2 & 5 they interact with an A.I Construct that he had programmed to replicate himself. This would serve to preserve his soul in some respect and ensure he can keep experimenting for decades past his death.
He effectively ran the New Hope facility and the Mount Kadar Secret Laboratory - and here is where he would create the Sires, discover Myrrah and the Locust Horde. Even in death as an A.I, he wants the newly found Swarm to succeed and tries to turn Kait into their new queen.
