Who is your favorite protagonist and why?

There isn't a dearth of options and I am sure I am missing one or two notable ones. We have had a handful of new additions in the last two years so the results could be interesting.

To qualify for the poll the characters should be original videogame characters or at the least, they should owe most of their acclaim to their videogame counter part. That means no characters based off of real people, movie characters, or comics, etc.

This also does not include create a players obviously. Also try to shy away from players in a game where you can select multiple protagonist who don't really impact the story or narrative.

Also, not, that when referring to a protagonist I mean a main character that the player controls. Not side characters or sidekicks that the story doesn't almost totally revolve around or feature.

Oh, c'mon on.

We get the "other" 11 months. Black history even gets the shortest month of the year.

And also, 50 Cent needs to be nominated!

I am hoping we can have a mature discussion on the subject matter. Not looking to get into debate over other things. There are very few black protagonist in videogames and this is a chance to celebrate our personal favorite. If you don't have one or don't wish to participate that's fine but please don't try to derail the point of the thread for others who want to share their impressions seriously.
