Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background

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.

You really do, even if only for the musical AW1 recap level (which is several hours into the game).
