DOOM Marine (Doom Slayer)

In the 2016 reboot of Doom, rather than the character being a direct representation of the player, the Doom marine is an ancient warrior called the "Doom Slayer" that was either banished to hell or chose to stay there (Possibly a reference to Doom 64's ending), in which he was captured by hell's forces and sealed in a tomb. He was later retrieved by the UAC where he was "held captive" and studied, until hell invades the base, which then he escapes and arms himself with a pistol, and his Praetor Suit.

Unlike some of the other protagonists, the Doom Marine shows a little more emotion, evident when he angrily destroys the communication panels that General Hayden tries to use and ask for assistance from the marine. He also demostrates this during the penultime mission, when he decides to take a back-up of VEGA's code before destoying it, in order for the AI to continue existing, despite not being asked to do it.

The Doom Marine's face is obscured, however the jawline and general structure of his face resembles B.J Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein: The New Order to some extent. This may be a reference to how the original Doom and Wolfenstein playermodels were very alike, also having been told to be related somehow.

While nothing has been confirmed, it has been speculated that this is in fact the same marine from the Classic Doom games, as in game documents found in Hell say the Doom Marine has traveled through "Worlds and Time" and was described as being extremely powerful and dangerous. The texts also say that the demons have been plagued by him for "eons of time", during which he would have became a legend in their world. Interestingly enough, the Praetor Suit has many similarities to the Marine Armor Doomguy wears in the classic Doom games, even so far as to have company logos, and production numbers located on the armor. This is all despite the fact that the suit is told to have been made in Hell for the Doom Marine to better fight the demon hordes.

Furthermore, the Doom Marine is shown to be somehow connected to an order of "knights" of the Argent D'Nur world, called the Night Sentinels in-game. While the Doom Marine has their symbol on his armor, his armor itself is far different, having a futuristic and military look, whereas the knights have armor closely resembling that of medieval European civilization. Strangely, the Doom Marine fully comprehends English, which would make no sense if he were to be from Argent D'Nur, an "alien planet" where such a language would not exist. It is possible that the Doom Marine is not actually from this world, but rather came there from a different time in the human universe, or from an alternate version of this, to the alien world. It can be assumed he would then have assisted the alien civilization to fight of the demons, which were apparently invading.
