25. Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)
Tom Nook is the eyes and ears of your new town. He's also the fucking pocket.
Nook will bleed you dry at every opportunity. Once you find yourself a house, you have to pay him the mortgage. Once you pay the mortgage, he'll expand your house. When you do that, he'll do it again. And again. Your money is his money and no matter how many times you pay him off, you'll still owe him. If not for the house, then for the fact that his is the only racket in town. Sure, every so often a black market dealer will come around, but Nook will presumably rat him out to the cops so his monopoly stays in the black.
Tortimer may be mayor, but make no mistake: he is merely a puppet figurehead. Tom Nook is in control. Your little town is a Plutocracy, that in which the wealthiest rule. And Tom Nook is the richest little raccoon in the business.
And he owns you.
Best Moment: The fact that you can't refuse your house expanse no matter what. Fucker.
