While the characters had a comparatively shorter time than the aforementioned characters, Thanos and the Recruiter didn’t forget to win the hearts. Thanos became a fan-favorite for his quirkiness and his devil-may-care attitude (even in the games). As for The Recruiter, he was witty, smart, and knew how to twist the evil decree into a human’s psychological play. The player died in the fight, but his necklace was loved by others. Meanwhile, the Recruiter’s death was no less than iconic, after he was shot in Russian Roulette. While hearts may not have been broken after the loss, they were missed in the further episodes, leaving pieces of their personalities and memories.
