30. Sander Cohen (Bioshock)
Poet, composer, sculptor, playwright. Sander Cohen is a jack of all trades. He wears many hats and it just so happens one of those hats happens to be another human head.
Always misunderstood on the surface, Cohen traveled below to Rapture to escape what he called "doubters." In Rapture, he became what some would describe as a "lap dog" for Andrew Ryan, designing propaganda for Ryan when he wasn't creating his own works. Once the Rapture Civil War broke out, Cohen's works obviously went less and less noticed. Between the lack of recognition(which Cohen described as a return of doubters) and his own extensive splicing, Cohen went insane and locked down Fort Frolic, leaving him and his former disciples trapped.
What I love about Sander Cohen is he is the "tortured artist" to the extreme. A lost soul driven mad from poor reviews. And genetic mutation. It's a shame that aren't as many interesting characters in the Bioshock universe.
Best moment: His Audio Diary of a work he calls "The Wild Bunny," a mad diatribe on his curse of entertaining. He begs to take the bunny ears off but he can't.
