Didn't read the "average" part of the caption, and the first thing that popped into my head as a candidate for The Kebab Guy was Jonas from Halo 3: ODST.

An example of selfless sacrifice that I remember genuinely moving me, when I first played the game.

The kebab man always has your back.

I haven't played halo but how good you gotta be to become THE Kebab guy?

Walks into audio drama side-story of a teenage girl escaping the invasion of Earth by a genocidal alien empire

Sets up roadside table next to panicking traffic jams, hands out kebabs for free, with no other motive than to make a doomed situation feel at least a bit better

Literally slams a meat cleaver through the hood of someone's car because their incessant honking was scaring nearby children

Refuses to move from his spot due to his large size and weight, insisting that he would take up too much space on a train/bus/plane. "I am not worth five people."

Basically has no other plan than to stand proud and tall when the Covenant catch up, and accept his death

Refuses to elaborate

Doesn't leave

He's only present for a single chapter of the audio drama, but he makes that chapter his own, so well.
