Takes a bad ass to tackle enemies in his underwear.

Raziel from LoK has a badass look.
Ramza Beoulve is fucking 10/10.
Snake is awesome.
Godot is sexy AF
SO MANY
Duke Nukem.
Modern protoganist won't come close to this since nowadays things are more political correct. Back in my teens, nobody cared that much. Plus games like Carmageddon where driving over disabled people grannies and what not, was rated way higher on the outrage meter.
Also honorary mention
I want to nominate Joel from last of us. He clearly has few limits when it comes to protect Ellie. As shown he's prepared to go as far as it takes no matter the consequence.
And to boot he doesn't feel like some teenagers generic ninja-robot-cyborg-musclehead dream.
Your character from Baldur's gate 1/2 + Throne of Bhaal. Pretty much the greatest Hero's journey ever in video game format.

Ramza is Jon Snow and Delita is Little Finger. Okay, he's not quite scummy as Little Finger but his archetype is similar - commoner who rose among the ranks, lost someone close to him and blames the nobility as a whole, plays both sides against each other and doesn't have any moral qualms about marrying for the purpose of advancement, committing murder for the purpose advancement, just generally playing the game of thrones without a single drop of noble blood in his body and doing quite well for himself.
(I'm skeptical Little Finger will end up on the throne though, at least on the TV series).
Kratos; he's so badass, he can change franchises and now also mythologies.
Where's your god now? Oww yeah, they are all dead.
