id Software did something incredible with 2016's DOOM reboot.

The Doom Slayer is perfectly emblematic of that success- in spite of being a silent protagonist, id Software were able to establish him as an absolute badass, a force to be reckoned with.

But though the Slayer was clearly the star of the show, there was one more character in the game that deserves a lot of praise- Samuel Hayden, the chairman of the Union Aerospace Corporation (or UAC).
