Marcus Fenix – Gears of War series
When Marcus first appeared, he rocked a wicked soul patch. Now in his later days, he’s gone full beard. Maybe there’s some deep metaphor here about losing his soul with all the shit he’s seen. I’ll let someone else ask him…
Lee Everett – Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead series
It’s hard to tell if Lee’s beard is intentional or not. I imagine in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies, it’d be pretty damn hard to walk on down to the convenience store and buy a razor.
Kratos – God of War series
Kratos used to be all about the goatee, but then he realized yelling “BOY” sounded even more commanding when paired with a cold stare and a thick beard. Atreus better tread carefully when he reaches his teenage years…
John Marston – Red Dead Redemption
Our second cowboy on the list, but John’s beard looks even more badass with the parallel scars running through it. It’s a lot easier to avoid confrontation from ambitious cowboys when you look permanently pissed off.
