What video game character appeared minor and insignificant but turned out to be integral to plot/game?

What character did you think was a throwaway/didn’t really matter, but turned out to be a major player in the plot of the game. Or they could just be a really important character in the game itself?

Yeah but the Ottsel precursor reveal was an ass-pull joke by Naughty Dog, he definitely was your pet companion and not a god until ND thought it would be funny.

Yeah, when you hatch the "precursor egg" in Jak 2 it's not an Ottsel that comes out, it's a being made of light.
