While he was a ruthless villain I personally did not see his depth in character. He was just a rich kid who wants to be proven. He barely had meaningful motivation for what he did, he just wanted to be the best. While that is an adequate motivation it was not as strong as the moment Nadine walks out on everything. Think about it no other person INCLUDING Drake could ever do something like that, it was very symbolic while Rafe was just another angry boss slain by Nathan.
Your opinion means a lot but ultimately I could not pick a winner. I Justify myself correctly and if it wasn't for Nate's curiosity he would not even be where he was in any of the games.
You're right, for Uncahrted 2. Putting limits on him and labeling him as a "pulp fiction" character doesn't give him the right to jump ahead of people who have real heart to heart characters that are deep and complex. But you are right he was one of the tougher ones to rank.
