I so wanna take some of this outta context... but I'll try to resist... (lol. Long and hard solid snake).
OT: I've got a decent list of people who might work...
Sumner: Gauntlet
Ganondorf, Zelda, or Impa: Legend of Zelda
Sonic: Sonic the Hedgehog (I gots my reasons)
Siegfried: Soul Calibur (after separating from Nightmare)
Prince of Persia (after the events of the Sands of Time trilogy take place)
Ryu Hayabusa (cuz he's a ninja and they are the wisest creatures ever)
Those are really the only ones I might consider.
