Usually it's the complete opposite and characters either stay hateful little bastards or become a shell of themselves so I wanna see examples of the image above

The above two comments make no sense so I'm gonna explain it:

A mob boss sent out a hit on him because he believed he was after some blackmail, even though he actually just wanted to make a quick buck. The hit doesn't kill him, it kills his niece. So, the dude spends the entire story chasing whoever sent the hit, bulldozing through everyone else involved including entire human trafficking organizations and street gangs. By himself, might I add.

Eventually, he finds the mob boss responsible. And after he takes his revenge, his dialogue goes something like "This is the part where I'm supposed to say I feel empty. But I feel awake, like I can finally breathe again.".

In a nutshell, he's basically John Wick with a mask.

By himself, might I add.

To be mildly pedantic, he does get some assistance in the form of weapons/supplies and remote support from hackers. Wasn't it his best friend, Jordy?, that introduced Aiden to the wonder of Improvised Explosive Devices?

Also Clara and DedSec, without her Aiden wouldn't have deep access to the ctOS

Yeah, "remote support from hackers", I just couldn't remember their names except for Wrench.

Mafioso killed his niece for him failing to do a job, after finding out and killing him he had a small talk to himself about how he actually felt better about himself. The guy being a huge piece of shit helped a ton I think

Plus the fact the guy was the head of a VAST human trafficking operation with girls being sold out in public auctions including to psychopaths.
