John started off a hesitant family man, to say the least. Ditching the gang, leaving Abigail and young Jack behind, it raises the question why. As Dutch reveals in one of his last encounters with John during the first Red Dead Redemption , the whole gang has been with Abigail, and it’s not like DNA testing was around to clarify. Was John a hesitant family man because he wasn’t sure he was Jack’s true father? John was young and impressionable, this could be the reasoning behind why he left, and why he treats Jack like less than a son during the first half of Red Dead Redemption 2 , but the player will never know for s
Skull kids are introduced in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which was made before the year 2000. It wasn’t until Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask that the player encounters the most unique skull kid of them all. Once banished by the four giants, this skull kid returns to Termina only to become a prisoner in his own skin. Under the influence of the dreaded Majora’s Mask, skull kid starts wreaking havoc, including sending the moon on a one-way collision course with Termina.

The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase “Would you Kindly”. One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
