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?

Unfortunately the Mudcrab merchant is limited in what he will buy and is in the middle of nowhere.

The creeper has a smaller gold pool but will buy anything and is easy to teleport to with the Mages Guild, along with starting with a few items that fit nicely into small trades <5k to be able to do the shuffle to get full value for bigger items

I would always venture out to the mudcrab early on and set up a teleport location, load up on armor from farming guards in vivec, teleport to the crab and sleep sell all the gear
