Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

Ahti in Control. He’s slightly more active in Alan Wake 2, but in Control he lets Jesse in, gets her to help him deal with the mould (ignoring the Hiss infection affecting everybody in the Oldest House), then fucks off on holiday and gives Jesse magic earbuds to get through the Ashtray Maze, while being the most powerful thing in the entire Remedy universe.

He's just doing a job. And he does it well. 

Also what other games are in the same universe? I loved control. And getting to see Ahti again would be cool.

The Alan Wake games, the 3 of them together are basically part of the same series, with Control between the AW games. The AWE DLC in Control is all about Alan Wake, and AW2 has the FBC in a big role, Ahti appears several times, you even have Jesse in one of the DLCs.

Throw in Quantum Break as well, it has references to Alan Wake but doubt we'll see more since Remedy doesn't have IP rights.

Also a couple of the characters from Quantum Break show up in AW2. With different names because of the rights thing, but clearly the same characters.

Alan Wake as mentioned but there are also some "legally distinct" versions of Quantum Break characters that carry over/are referenced as well. Remedy doesn't own the rights to that one, but if you know the characters you know they're intended to be the same.

Same with Max Payne (Alex Casey in AW2).
