I remember realising that Hunnigan was the only post-2 character who ever came back for a second appearance. I might have missed a couple but that was such a weird thing for the series to insist on, until Ethan of course. Will we ever see Sheva again? Helena? Billy? ...Jake? Probably not.
Anyway here have a terrible ranking of the ones I've played
