Dominic Santiago from Gears of War. If you compare him to Marcus Fenix, there is no contest. Fenix has the personality of a rock, and minuscule amounts of character development. All that we knew about marcus from Gears 1 to Gears 3 was: Marcus was put in jail because he abandoned his post during the pendulum wars so as to defend his father from the locusts on E-day. other then that pretty much nothing other than the fact that he's in a relationship with Anya. As for Dominic, You have a much better character Arch. Dom begins the story as a strong man even in the face of danger who saves marcus from prison. little is known about him other then the fact that he's "looking for someone" but he still keeps focused on the mission. in Gears 2 he slips into a deeper state of insanity in the senesce that he's become obsessed with finding his wife. He Becomes more frustrated easier and has a tendency to go berserk on a crowd of locusts. finally after killing his own wife who was tortured and by the looks of things, lobotomized by the locust. He is a shell of his former self by the beginning of gears 3 and he pretty much is dead weight. finally he gives his life to save Marcus, the only person he cared about who managed to stay alive. It's pretty clear who the more advancing character is.
