The 2018 Grimmys: Mr. Dave Award for Best New Character of the Year

The most unforgettable character that did not exist before this year made him/her/it up.

God of War - The Stranger

Somebody had to stand up to Kratos, and The Stranger is real good at standing back up, too. This tormented villain generated more empathy than we anticipated. That didn't make fighting him any less satisfying.
