Rockstar has been treating us to great titles for years, but what made these games so memorable? The absurd missions of course, the immense freedom that you are offered, but above all the interesting characters you encounter. Wimpie will take you through the fifteen most deranged characters today!
Before I start, I have to admit right away: I’m a sucker for the most crazy individuals in movies and games. My black heart has a kind of weird appeal to the sick minds the entertainment world has in store for me. The wackier a character is, the better I remember him or her.
Of course, Rockstar is the perfect developer for the most evil, offensive and especially mentally ill characters, so I will no longer keep you in suspense and serve you the funniest, weirdest and most hideous Rockstar crazy people I can remember!
Pay attention! This list contains minor spoilers for various GTA titles and Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2
15. Ricardo Diaz – Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002)
Ricardo Diaz from Grand Theft Auto Vice City is not so much a crazy m**********r, but more of a paranoid drug lord whose product (cocaine) is getting to his head. During the missions that protagonist Tommy Vercetti carries out for Diaz, it immediately becomes clear that the coke magnate constantly thinks he is being betrayed.
He also regularly loses his self-control, causing him to pump a video recorder full of bullets and various televisions and telephones have to suffer. So I wouldn’t immediately put the stamp on Diaz as a mentally ill person, but he is definitely a crazy one!
14. Seth Briars – Red Dead Redemption (2010)
Seth Briars, a rabid grave robber, appears in the first act of Red Dead Redemption. In his own words, Seth hates living people and especially women, because they would have driven him to dig up corpses to take their valuables and find any treasure maps.
If you listen carefully to Seth’s dialogues, you will find out that he hates women since his mother died. Perhaps this indicates that he was unable to cope with that death. The lack of trust in other people is likely due to the betrayal of his former partner in crime Moses, who stole half of an important treasure map. This makes Seth more of a tragic wacky than a sicko you instantly hate
13. Clint – Bully (2006)
Bully is set in a high school, so you don’t expect crazy at the level of GTA in a somewhat smaller-scale game with mainly students in the leading roles. Yet here and there you find a character with a questionable state of mind and Clint is one of them. He has protagonist Jimmy Hopkins commit various small-scale crimes, such as stealing bicycles and mopeds and destroying mailboxes.
12. Mikhail Faustin – Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
GTA IV is also full of eccentrics and I cannot ignore this gentleman from this list: Mikhail Faustin. This Eastern European top criminal appears quite early in the story about Niko Bellic, just after the murder of Vlad Glebov. Vlad was Faustin’s partner, so he decides to have Niko and Roman kidnapped. During that kidnapping, he immediately loses his temper and shoots Roman in the stomach, causing chaos.
Faustin, like Diaz, is the prototype paranoid leader of a criminal organization whose suspicion of his own allies is driven by excessive drug use. Mikhail regularly has his nose in coke, which causes tensions with his wife and his business partner Dimitri Rascalov
11. Margaret – Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)
As you’ve come to expect from Rockstar in recent years, their games feature fun and sometimes weird encounters with strangers. Margaret is one of those random people who cross paths with Arthur Morgan and this gentleman … um, lady really isn’t quite hot. This stranger mission revolves around retrieving Margaret’s so-called circus animals: a zebra, a tiger and a lion.
It soon turns out that Margaret is a con man who disguises ordinary animals as the rarest tropical beasts on Earth. The mission that you can view above takes a nice turn at the end that I will of course not reveal!
10. Irish – Red Dead Redemption (2010)
An entertaining character from the first act of Red Dead Redemption. Irish, a notorious alcoholic who has to help John Marston with a rail gun for a particular mission, is so off the track that John sometimes has to literally pull him out of dire situations.
Above, for example, you see a mission in which the Irishman, lonely with booze, points his gun at a few nuns and seems ready to pull the trigger. Fortunately, John arrives just in time to intervene. Furthermore, Irish regularly leaves the shooting to John during the missions he plays in, culminating in the closing mission of the first act. Of course I will not reveal that mission to you!
9. Phil Cassidy – Grand Theft Auto III (2001), Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002), Vice City Stories (2006) en Liberty City Stories (2005)
The crazy Phil Cassidy is some kind of modern gunslinger in the GTA universe. With his arms business he is a formidable competitor for Ammu-Nation and during GTA Vice City he is busy making an enormous explosive substance: Boomshine. You don’t have to drink this substance to get up: ‘Just a good whiff will set you off’, says Phil himself in the video below.
Boomshine is a highly flammable mix of alcohol and drugs. So intense that Phil blows his own arm off with it. He always appears in the GTA titles after Vice City without a right arm. Phil is one of three characters physically present in four GTA parts. Those two others are ‘G*y’ Tony Prince and Johnny Klebitz. Lazlow Jones appears most often in the GTA series, but he only appeared in person in GTA V for the first time. For the rest he can be heard on the radio.
8. Micah Bell – Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)
Now that I have almost finished Red Dead Redemption 2, I know for sure: Micah Bell is a crazy a*s m**o! Take, for example, the mission you can watch above, where Arthur must free him from Strawberry’s prison. During the rescue, Micah decides to shoot the entire town to typhus, including an innocent family. All because the gentleman has to pick up his guns if necessary. After that mission you actually already know: everything Arthur does with this man ends in a bloodbath.
7. De Love Fist-psycho – Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002)
The higher we get on the list, the crazier the characters get! This guy from Vice City really deserves a psycho stamp, because as a fan of the Scottish rock band Love Fist, he has remarkable methods for adoring his idols. He waits armed for the band members at a room where they perform for an album release. Tommy Vercetti manages to stop the madman and kill him, but that doesn’t end the terror of this mad fan.
In the next mission for the band it turns out that the cheerful fan has somehow built a car bomb in the limousine of the band. A variant of the movie Speed is then a fact, because if you drive too slow, the limo will explode! While the band members scream murder and fire, the bomb must be defused, which eventually succeeds after a crazy ride through Downtown Vice City.
6. Catalina – Grand Theft Auto III en Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
As you read earlier in this list, Rockstar has a pleasant habit of giving his characters more depth through roles in other games. Catalina is the bad guy of GTA III, but also appears in San Andreas, where it becomes clear that she is the niece of Cesar Vialpando, CJ’s brother-in-law. During her first mission it becomes clear that the Latina is completely crazy when she wants to take a few guests in a restaurant with a butterfly knife.
The missions you carry out for her involve a number of robberies at a betting office, a bank, a liquor store and a truck full of gasoline. The collaboration between CJ and Catalina comes to an end when she meets the protagonist of GTA III, Claude. The two start a relationship, which you may remember that does not end well in GTA III. Nevertheless, the last call CJ receives from Catalina is a kind of ‘tease call’ in which it is audible that she and Claude are having a good time together.
5. Sadie Adler – Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)
Although Sadie and Arthur regularly help each other in Red Dead Redemption 2, the tough lady is definitely in the head. That’s not surprising at all, as she lost her husband in an attack by a group of ruthless O’Driscolls before being rescued by the Van Der Linder gang. As you can see in the video above, throughout the storyline of Red Dead Redemption 2, Sadie regularly loses her ‘cool’, so to speak.
4. Brucie Kibbutz – Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
Brucie Kibbutz is the character that I enjoyed the most in Grand Theft Auto IV. This pumped-up ADHD person uses a special type of , something he calls ‘juicing’. According to him, the testosterone that Brucie uses for juicing comes from Chilean bull sharks and these cause him to have so-called ‘roid attacks’. In these disturbed showers, he gives Niko the most insane assignments: from stealing fat cars in broad daylight or killing certain people. This ‘juiced up’ madman doesn’t like it and so conquers a place in the top five.
3. Trevor Philips – Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
This psychopath actually needs no further introduction. Trevor Philips, one of the protagonists in GTA V, has in my opinion the very best introduction ever to a character in a GTA game.
The mission Mr. Philips can be seen above and as you know Trevor immediately kills a beloved character from GTA IV: Johnny Klebitz’s head is pounded to a pulp by Trevor, after which he goes on a veritable rampage to all his rivals in the Sandy Shores weapons and drug trade. to turn off. A 10/10 introduction to a 10/10 character!
2. Piggsy – Manhunt (2003)
Games in the Manhunt series are bursting with psychopathic characters so it should come as no surprise that Piggsy, a character in the first Manhunt game, is high on this list. Piggsy is a cannibalistic mass murderer with a pig mask over his head who crunches his victims with a chainsaw. Despite being clearly a grown man, he is of the mental age of a child and can only speak a few words. For the rest he just grunts and makes pig noises.
Piggsy in Munhunt’s story may be the predecessor of protagonist James Earl Cash, who was supposed to play a role in the p**n exploitation movie of Lionel Starkweather, the antagonist of Manhunt. Somewhere in that remarkable casting process, Piggsy went completely out of control, prompting Starkweather to lock the Pig Man in the dark recesses of his villa.
1. Eddie Low – Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
It was difficult to choose a number one for this top 15, but Eddie Low is Rockstar’s undisputed creep in my opinion. Niko runs into him twice in Liberty City and both encounters are truly shocking. The first time you meet him, Eddie tries to break the ice with a little small talk, but his conversation topics (loneliness, death, and animal masturbation) provide the opposite. In the end, Eddie asks for a lift to the harbor, because the sports bag he has with him is far too heavy for a walk.
During the car ride, Eddie also touches on the most uncomfortable subjects, with a story about people’s screams as the low point. He says he enjoys distinguishing accents in different screams and also says that he has heard enough screams in the Alderney district. It’s time to study the screams of people in Algonquin.
The second and final meeting with Eddie reveals how up this man really is. Again he tries to chat with Niko, but when he starts talking about spanking and asks if Niko likes that, the atmosphere changes a bit. The Eastern Bloc protagonist does not like Eddie’s company and says he should flash up. Eddie gets furious and talks about the ways in which he tortured and murdered children, anally humiliated his victims and he also tells something nice about the intestines of a young girl. When Eddie pulls a knife and says that his hunger can’t be satisfied, he attacks Niko. Of course you can help Eddie to the afterlife with one of your weapons.
So, that was a mouthful of crazy characters. If you think that this list is still missing some Rockstar wackos, do not hesitate to comment below this story.
