Top 10 Henchmen in Video Games


these are the right hand men and women
that nearly eclipses the ones they are
serving your soul is mine
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 henchmen in video games isn’t that a
popular word these days for this list
we’re looking for higher-ups second in
commands to the big billets as opposed
to generic cronies like the Kremlin crew
or Team Rocket we want assistants that
have a distinctive personality or a
special set of skills that sets them
apart from the norm you should have left
me to die and I could get back together
with quiet number 10 captain Vincente de
santé Red Dead Redemption you want to
talk to my boss gringo I guess because
I’m now good enough for you a cruel and
viciously driven individual serving
under Colonel Agustin Allende in the
Mexican army he will voraciously defend
what he believes is the traditional
Mexican way of life
my country is bang John Mostow that it
would pain this open world Western is
full of bile characters but he is a
particularly repulsive subordinate
what’s going on here captain to Santa
just a little recruitment nothing for
you to be concerned about always it is
burning down civilians homes he is
willing to sacrifice other men’s lives
for personal gain for a military man his
world code is noticeably absent making
for a suitably sadistic rock star
antagonist you have betrayed this land
enough I hope you have a clear
conscience as you’re about to meet God
number nine Ramon Salazar Resident Evil
4 me llamo Ramon Salazar the eighth
the line of this magnificent
architecture he maybe arioli challenged
but what he lacks in height he more than
makes up for in his devotion to loss
illuminatus his isolation has made him
susceptible to the teachings of Osman
Sadler whose ultimate plan is world
domination through the mind-controlling
plague a parasite she will join us
become one of us
Salazar intends to infect the u.s.
president’s daughter with the parasite
to influence the Oval Office and to also
make right the mistakes he believes his
ancestors made when sealing away the
Plaga his tale is in many ways a sad one
but it’s hard to feel sorry for this
little terror I’m I paid my respects
towards your impressive
stubborn win
mr. Kennedy well
number eight klungo banjo kazooie series
it’s unclear what he actually is but if
you claimed he was an ogre you wouldn’t
be that far off heavily inspired by the
archetypal villains assisted Egor he is
one of gruntilda’s most faithful minions
he uses his technical know-how to create
a number of machines to help run T’s
evil schemes while also regularly
appearing as a boss throughout banjo
tooie whenever he inevitably fails his
mistress that’s how he says it
he feels so ashamed that he allows her
to beat him up he may be completely
submissive but he’s one of the cuter
henchmen on this list number seven Kamik
super mario series appearing in numerous
games that cross several genres he is
the magic koopa that appears to be the
chief adviser to Bowser therefore
holding an incredibly high rank within
the Koopa Troopa despite having magical
powers such as teleportation foresight
and telekinesis it is still said that
Mario is somehow more powerful we don’t
quite buy that given that Mario is a
lowly plumber and kamek is the
incredibly wise father figure to one of
the greatest gaming villains ever but
hey that’s game logic for you number 6
dr. Wallace Breen half-life 2 well if it
isn’t Gordon Freeman at last is he just
a selfish puppet for the combine or is
he a genius scientist who took action to
save the human race when no one else
could he is perhaps a little of all
those things but even with the title of
ruler of Earth he has very little power
while it seemed that he has humanity’s
best interests at heart two individual
humans he is condescending and
manipulative if I’d known you were going
to come straight up to my office I
wouldn’t have bothered hunting you in
the first place many questions remain
unanswered surrounding his relationship
with Freeman and
g-man but we’ll have to wait until
half-life 3 for that don’t hold your
breath oh it’s hardly the words you
might find that hard to believe once you
get it isn’t necessary
I agreed total waste fortunately
resistance has shown it is willing to
accept a new leader
number five Bloody Mary the wolf among
us hi what you got there
telltale are the masters of story driven
titles and vests cough from their Game
of Thrones game could have easily been
featured on this list Mary however is
based on the European folk legend of the
same name and is a ruthless and
calculating thug for the crooked man
with a unique set of powers I don’t know
why they call me that because some of
them they think it’s funny to have their
little sleepovers and go into their
little bathrooms and say my name five
times in the mirror they find it less
funny when I actually show up and feed
their lung
to the family dog mirroring her
abilities in folklore she can teleport
between reflective surfaces a clear
reference to the myth of seeing her name
in front of a mirror to make her
materialize the whole game is full of
clever interpretations of fairy tale
characters but hers may well be the
darkest reimagining I mean Hey look I
know it sounds ridiculous but really
guys can you argue with these results
number 4 Harley Quinn Batman Arkham City
what the hell are you doing here you’re
supposed to be dead a staple sidekick to
the Joker in all forms of Batman media
her character remains largely the same
in the second installment in the popular
superhero series what did you think it
was gonna be that easy but think again
loser hopelessly in love with the Clown
Prince of Crime she takes on many of the
Joker’s responsibilities when he is
incapacitated by illness as a former
psychiatrist she has a razor-sharp
intellect and wit to go with her
penchant for violence which makes her
the perfect assistant to the greatest
criminal in the DC Universe Thanks so
bad brain number 3 Goro Mortal Kombat
series daily wins after being the Mortal
Kombat tournament champion for over 500
years he has a fairly legitimate claim
to lead people on his own yet he still
opts to initially aid Shang Tsung in his
quest to conquer earth realm I did not
expect to fight in this tournament but
eventually even the Shaolin would do so
for you worthy of Ashoka arguably the
greatest fighter in the series he had
unrivaled brutality and agility which
made him a famously difficult character
to beat he was so tricky in fact that
his strength had to be toned down in
later games to give players a chance
let’s face it he’s a half dragon with
four arms he’s gonna be tough
number two vos Montenegro far cry 3 I’m
gonna drive a bullet through my sister’s
skull
you would be forgiven for thinking that
this bad guy sporting a Mohican may be
the main villain of the game given how
he appears on the front of the box and
all he is instead the right hand man to
the crime lord Hoyt Volker who has
turned Montenegro from drug addicts to
sadistic pirate Lord hi yo Brooklyn I
know my bitch
I rule this kingdom shut the fuck up or
you die it would appear that he is
clinically insane as he finds humor in
inevitably killing anyone who looks at
him the wrong way
did I ever tell you what the definition
of insanity is oh geez before we unveil
our top pick let’s take a look at some
honorable mentions sir the zuni are
enquiring about our progress ah some am
I disappointed Lazaro bitch beat you to
it right now you’ve gone and done it
then crystals are mine and they were
thought I sir
and then my head then my god people see
oh you’re this okay number one revolver
ocelot Metal Gear series revolver ocelot
it is impossible to know where his true
allegiances lie as he spent much of his
life deceiving and betraying those he
had previously been faithful to it’s
entirely possible that even he doesn’t
know given how long he has spent
concealing his true identity despite his
dubious affiliations he is advised and
assisted naked liquid and solid snake as
well as many others now we’ll see if the
man can live up to the legend a highly
skilled soldier and notorious
interrogator he has influenced so many
facets of this super complex stealth
series in one way or another he is
connected to any and every character you
can think of heck he’s even your
henchman in Metal Gear Solid 5 the names
Ocelot
