Andrew Ryan in BioShock built a whole pseudo-objectivist nightmare after reading some Ayn Rand
Thank you for the suggestions!
@Cold_Comfort Regarding the Nier robots, I am excluding 99% of the philosophical references, since most are either name-drops (Marx, Engels and Hegel spring to mind) or actually accurate concepts (like the android who talks aboit the ship of Theseus). I will however add an entry about Pascal, since it kind of fits.
@letshugbro I have sadly never played Bioshock (one more game to the wishlist pile!) so I am not sure about putting Andrew Ryan in. I know he's basically an objectivist / Ayn Rand fanboy, but unless he gets something wrong about that philosophy I don't feel comfortable including him.

P5R also has Maruki, that has spoiler reasons as to why he fits here.
@SuperSpeedRaven Thank you, I hadn't actually completed p5r before i made this list, but i can definitevely work Maruki in here
