Freya (God Of War)
As far as I can tell, Freya meant well when she made Baldur eternal and immune to all pain. She tried to stop a forecast that said her son would die, but she ended up making him dislike her.
This starts the chain of events that ends when Kratos kills Baldur and the cycle is over. In God of War: Ragnarok, this makes Freya so angry that she goes looking for Kratos to make him pay.
Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy 7)
Barret is a great character in Final Fantasy 7. When his friend Dyne dies in a terrible accident, Barret takes care of Marlene. But it has to be said that, even though he means well, his deeds put Marlene in a lot of danger.
He doesn’t mind putting Marlene in charge of a loud bar that serves alcohol while he goes on a rage against Shinra. But what makes him such a great character is how much he loves Marlene and how much she loves him back.

Rost (Horizon: Zero Dawn)
The beginning of Horizon: Zero Dawn is pretty good. It shows Aloy and Rost as two outsiders who are learning how to live in the world. Rost helps Aloy grow, and in the end, he gives up his own life to save his daughter.
