50 Video Game Characters: 24

"It figures the only thing in this damn city NOT on fire is the one thing we need to burn down"



24. Francis (Left 4 Dead)

Let's just get this out of the way right now. Francis doesn't like you. Even if you don't know him, Francis hates you. But it's not your fault, Francis is a hateful man. Throughout the game, as four survivors are finding their way out of Pennsylvania, biker Francis expresses his disdain for everything from cops to airplanes to stairs to Ayn Rand(although he has a point with that one).

A completely brash asshole and a total idiot, Francis asserts his dickish nature the whole time, constantly talking about how much he hates everything, especially all the "goddamned vampires" running around trying to kill him and his teammates. Suffice it to say, Francis' one-liners are a welcome cut to all the tension in Left 4 Dead.

Best moment: After getting on his team's nerves enough with his hatred, he's finally asked what he doesn't hate. His answer?

He doesn't hate vests.
