Poll Question:
Worst character in Heroes of Might & Magic
Who is the worst character in Heroes of Might & Magic History?
A poor soul is, unfortunately, under the impression that Queen Isabel is not the worst character in the series, so I decided to put it to the vote.

I still remember when I first started playing the H5 campaign, you play as Isabel and you run around like a genocidal maniac slaughtering fat peasants that didn't want to be used as frontline cannon fodder against devils, and in the background you have this lofty, dreamy music playing as Isabel talks about reuniting with Nicholai. I had a Bert stare on my face the entire time.

I thought Isabel was an interesting character and I enjoyed the H5 plot though the ending was horrible with "lol ALL RACES IN ASHAN UNITE AGAINST THE DEMONS - WE TOTALLY DIDN'T RIP OFF WARCRAFT 3: REIGN OF CHAOS WITH THAT AND NICOLAI"
The character I hated the most in H5 was Findan. I just don't get what the point is with a boring character like that.
Gilraen from the H5 Inferno campaign would have been more interesting.
In H6, I really like Irina and I don't get why you hate her.
I do think that she could have got a bit more emotional after she was rape-inpregnated. But her pregnancy is obviously foreshadowing for future installments.
I loved Anton at first but I hated that even though I went Blood with him, he became a nice cuddly blond Griffin boy.
Sandor and the Orcs felt disconnected to the main story, but it was alright.
I hate Kiril. His voice annoys and I don't like all the eyes and stuff in Sheogh. I also think he feels completly out of character for a guy that just appeared in Sheogh. Sarah looks awesome though.
Haven't played Anastaya's campaign yet but Uriel is cute.

Raelag? Why is he even in this poll? How can someone think he is the worst? 
Kiril is a total loser for me. Findan is the second as his is the only campaign from H5 I don't remember anything about. That means he was uninteresting
On the other hand Isabel was just fantastic

She indeed looks awesome but when you look at her game model, when you click on her biography, instead of her hair, her whole face is on fire if she is facing you.

Could be the whole pedophile stalker thing people don't like Raelag for.

On the other hand, my liking him might be irrelevant to him specifically as I think I like anything that has something to do with Dark Elves. I'm just in love with them. If they appear in a game, any game, they become my faction instantly

My vote goes to... Queen Isabel. Not only her righteous passion tar Haven's reputation as one of the good castles in HoMM universes, her fling with Raelagrael also show how much she did truly care for Nicholai : not much. 
Isabel is the anti-climax of the evolution of Queens in HoMM

The entire Heroes V cast. Democratically and without preferences. Maybe Kha-Beleth is a bit more bearable than the rest but not enough to escape the plot hell hole (the irony).

Worst of the H5 cast you ask me? Zehir! A teenage snow that managed nothing but a wiseguy style talk. Thinking so much of him self. Hate him.

What was so dislikeable about Isabel that's not for Anton? They're both idiots who run around killing their own allies under the lure of demons and whatnot.
At least Isabel is original on that and Anton is just copying her. What's one to say about a game who has an Isabel wanna-be as one of its main characters?
Sure Isabel sucked but Anton sucks more. And at least, Isabel did not have these annoying voices in her head chirping "Faceless! Kill them!" every freaking turn.
Not to mention that Isabel had a better reason for killing her people, it was actually Biara disguise coercing humans into a civil war. But Anton on the other hand, is cracking heads open to let Elrath's light in, in a fashion that's beyond stupid:
Anton: My father is deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
Orcs: Jesus Christ!
*Anton cracks their heads open to see if he can convert them to Elrath.*
Salvatore: No, you don't do it like this. You need to torture them first!
Anton: Torture them? What do you take me for? A monster? Well, excuse me, I'm going to wash off the blood of all those Orcs from my armor.
Jorgen: What a weirdo...
Anton: Shut up faceless! My father is deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
What I don't understand is how the designers did not give him an emo haircut, I mean that would fit him so fine.
I don't see any reason for Isabel's haters to like better an Isabel wanna-be. If you hated H5's story, you should H6's even more.

I haven't played the H6 campaign, so I'm a little bit biased.
I'm sure you're right, though. I miss the campaigns from the older games....

It's a common misconception that H5 ripped Warcraft 3. It ripped H3's Shadow of Death/Restoration of Erathia campaigns.
Irina of all 5 siblings is the most tolerable but not any likeable at all. Her character totally doesn't fit the Sanctuary. They wanted to make her rowdy but they overdid that, to the point that she looks like some kind of a female desert ranger. They also wanted to make her sound mature too through the voice acting but that got lost in the immature one-liners they're so fond of having their main characters deliver.
Kiril is probably the most out of place character I have ever seen. He is trapped in hell and with some mighty demon threatening to devour his soul, and he carries himself as if he's doing a chore. The way he responds to the demon, is as if the demon is just some annoying fly buzzing around his face. The fact that he found himself in Sheogh, did not seem to matter any to him and he got friendly with those succubi way too easily and let them accompany him around. I mean, could you be a little more in despair about it, let Sheogh's terror grow on you, go a little mad? This isn't a low level dungeon, it's the god damned Hell! Useless...
About Anastasya... Don't play the Necropolis campaign for the story. Believe me, you're better off watching Twilight...
@Avirosb: Perfect! If his appearance was like that, he would be a more coherent character.

somebody make a mod for this picture!
btw, I think Anton is (a little bit) better than Isabel because he was not succumbed into some necromancer's plan to revive his father, and did not dally with some obscure demon cultist-turned-warlock.

I can't say who the worst was, probably Nicholai for being a total and utter Arthas rip off thought Biara was definitely the best (though she reeks of Kerrigan...)

No, he did not do that. In his quest for vengeance though, he killed his father's allies. Now how do you avenge your father's death by killing his closest allies?
And then what the hell is all that about converting Orcs to worship Elrath? And how do you convert them by killing them? This is beyond stupid... He surpasses Isabel in stupidity by far.
Isabel may have been tricked by Markal but that's her excuse. What's his excuse for killing the Orcs that were his father's best allies? Nobody told him to do that. That annoying voice kept telling him about the Faceless. That was something he decided to do on his own without reason and rationality.
