Brok paid the ultimate price after catching on to Odin’s lies as he was impersonating Tyr. No other character and not even the gods could see through what Odin had up his sleeve, Brok on the other hand, a mere dwarf can sniff lies from a mile away.
Atreusavenged him after destroying the maskand ruining the All-Father’s pursuit of infinite knowledge. Brok’s loved ones gathered around one last time and gave him a Viking funeral as Sindri entered a dark place.

Although there are a few options for how he dies, it depends on the player’s activities. The outcome of death is unavoidable but players can give the man his wish of being laid on the side of a mountain facing the sun to remember the good days until his final breath.
2Lee in Telltale’s The Walking Dead
Lee lost his life going after Clementine and he went out swinging. After being bitten by a walker on the arm, Lee knew what it meant. Players can amputate his arm but it will not change the outcome and he endured the pain to look for Clementine and get her to safety.
Nothing is sadder than seeing a character with great growth and development taken away. Lee gave it his all to save Clementine and in the end, the player can ask the child to put Lee out of his misery or leave to reanimate as a walker.
