Tim from Braid.

He’s a narcissistic and unkillable jerkwad who convinces you he’s the good-guy protagonist until you get to the very end and discover that the target he’s pursuing is not being kidnapped or taken away from him but is actually trying to escape from him because he seeks to control her and was likely the actual kidnapper.

Oh, and once he catches up to her, he probably blows up the world in a nuclear catastrophe because the object of his desire is likely a metaphor for nuclear weapons.

Isn’t an overarching answer ‘Bobby Kotick’?
