No for the Emperor.
High 1-A should be Anu from TES when the Revisions are done.

Ahzek Ahrima for High 5-A, though I feel there are better 4-Bs. Culexus Assasins for low 5-B. Their lives are pretty terrible, even if they're insanely powerful.

I think Abe from Oddworld takes the spot for High 8-C.
He was forced into slavery pretty much since birth (he even had his lips sown because he was a lot louder than the others) and our little clumsy and afraid Abe was forced into saving his kind (and eventually himself) from being cut up into meat from their higher-ups in a meat factory just because the creatures that they were using for their meat was slowly drifting away into extinction.
I can't think of a more tragic character than him.

Maybe one of the Straw Hat Pirates? Most of them have pretty tragic pasts.

I'm tempted to put Soul of Cinder for its tiers. ALso, I can explain any of mine in the face of criticism or an opposing suggestion, just ask me.

Madotsuki for all of her tiers until someone else comes up I guess. While it's vague, she has been implied to have been [r-word]'d and abused by her parents, culminating with her suicide at the end of the game.
Brad Armstrong was abused by his alcoholic father, who forced him to [r-word] his sister until her eventual suicide. Later on, he had to live through the apocalypse and the memories of his past with his father. Even after the apocalypse, he had to fight nearly the entire world to get his adopted daughter back, only for her to reveal that she has never been happy with him due to how she shielded her from the world so much, and how Brad's own father was nicer to her than he ever was to her. This culminates with him dying trying to get her back and him becoming a Joy Mutant, a mindless monster who's only thought in mind is to brutally murder people.

>Ends up connected to a machine that scans her memories hurting her in the process

Descole or Professor Layto for 8-C
(SPOILERS)
Descole and Layton are brothers, their parents were kidnapped by a criminal organisation, they got seperated at a young age after this, Descole's wife and daughter were killed by the same organisation whereas Layton's girlfriend was killed in a time travelling accident. Layton and Descole became enemies, but eventually teamed up against Targent before finding out that it was now led by their father who is willing to kill them both. To add further insult to injury, for Layton, he finds out that his lover wasn't 'killed' but was sent forwards in time, and this was just before she got sent back in time due to molecular instability while in his arms, thus sending her to the point of the explosion and killing her.
(SPOILERS end)
And that's the short version of it.

High 1-A is probably Anu from TES when the revisions come to the Light of the day, like Matt said

Oryx, the Taken King, for 4-B. Yes.
- At a very, very young age, family was betrayed by someone they trusted immensely, resulting in the death of her (its complicated) parents and her and her sisters, all very young, being forced to frantically flee deeper into the core of their planet.
- Very far down, are greeted with the Leviathan, basically God at the time, basically telling them that what they should do is give up and let themselves be slaughtered, refusing to aid. While the Leviathan has some very good reasons for that, imagine desperately fleeing for your lives, finally being tracked down, and meeting capital G God. God then proceeds to forsake you, basically telling you you should just die and that its bad to take the power you need to survive.
- Upon ignoring this warning, She and her sisters meet the Worm gods, who bestow upon them an insane amount of power. Sound great? Well, not really. One, this starts the transformation of Aurash into Oryx, something that would end up horrifying her later. Two, this starts their neverending hunger, one they must constantly kill and destroy for to satisfy. Three, in the process this obliterates their planet, which AUrash wouldn't ever find out until much later, basically making everything they had done to this point meaningless.
- Much, much later, Oryx throws out his son Nokris, for practicing and utilizing true resurrection, basically utmost heresy to the Hive (ironic considering all of Oryx's immortalities, resistances, and regen but it makes sense in context). This may seem worse for Nokris than Oryx, but that's not really right. Nokris was actually glad to be free of Oryx, whereas I doubt Oryx can really say the same. Imagine being a parent, loving your kids and all, then discovering that one of your children is doing something so heretical, so against the morality you subscribe to, that it will literally warp the fabric of reality should it continue. You attempt to dissuade them from that path, only to be rebuffed repeatedly. Eventually, with a heavy heart, you decide you must let go, and kick them out, only to discover that they hold no remorse for all that happened and are glad for it.
- His sisters begin to doubt him, and go their separate paths. Oryx doesn't see them for billions of years, and will ultimately die before they can reunite.
- Much later, Oryx stomps an incredibly powerful Vex mind. As a last resort, the vex tries to basically create Oryx to fight Oryx, but Oryx is too far beyond its ability to comprehend and as such can only create Aurash, the incredibly weak and frail terrified child frantically fleeing from assassins that would become the god of the Hive, Taker of all. What she would become terrifies and repulses Aurash, highlighting just how far of a departure Oryx is from the scared little girl he once was, eons ago.
- Much later, Oryx's beloved son, Crota, is permanently killed by The Guardian. You also kinda steal his soul as well, meaning he can't even rest in peace. Oryx's invasion of the Solar System wasn't a super planned and thought out swift obliteration like they normally are. This one was out of grief and rage, an attempted revenge for the murder of his son. With hive morality being what it is, Oryx was actually a really good dad by hive standards, and genuinely loved and cherished his children.
- Killing Crota causes a strain on Oryx's intake of death, meaning his own demise draws closer. Luckily, he and his top lieutenant, engineer, warlord, and advisor, the Warpriest, are on it as they come close to figuring out a way that the Hive can be free of the Worm Gods that bind them while still reaping all the benefits. Sounds great, like life's finally looking up, right? Well, not so fast. The Guardian also permanently kills the Warpriest before this can come to pass. Think about losing a friend, advisor, and partner of billions of years to the same hand that killed your son, knowing he died trying to protect you, and that your own end is pretty much inescapable at this point.
- This same Guardian goes on to kill his daughters, then finally slay Oryx himself. Now, Oryx did have a contengiency plan for this, but its foiled in a pretty dumb way. As the Guardians turn away from taking up the mantle of The Taken King, Oryx now exists as a disembodied form of immense power just kinda stuck in an inaccessible place, with a fragment of him being weaponized by the guardian. As a final nail in the coffin, the Touch of Malice, along with the other D1 exotics, are seemingly destroyed offscreen by the Cabal. Talk about a humiliating way to be (seemingly) ended for good.

You probably wouldn't think of Oryx as a tragic character, but when you think about it and equalize morality, so to speak, his life is pretty depressing and a lot of it is the PC's fault.
Edit: Also, an abriged and mostly canon version of the whole Crota thing.

Maybe Link (Majora's Mask)? The guy started an adventure as 9/10 years boy child, orphan and bullied basically his whole life, his foster father dies in front of him and people believed it was his fault, skipped his whole childhood because Fi's an idiot (basically the Master Sword "thinking" that he was too young) and then sealed away his soul for seven years, in which Ganon manages to enter the Sacread Realm and get the ToP via the door that Link opened right before getting sealed. He then returns to a distorted version of Hyrule, in which he has to save 5 sages, manages to seal away Ganon, then he's sent back in time to revive his childhood, basically nullifying everything he has done before getting sealed away, his best friend despite being extremely annoying leaves him and he spends months searching for her until he stumbles on an another world nearing its apocalypse.
Majora's Mask has seriously so many tragic things I don't even know what to say, so I'm just leaving it to someone else ovo. Basically the world he saved gets destroyed after he leaves it, nullifying again all of his work, and he spends the rest of his life regretting to never being remembered as a hero and not being able to pass down his skills, remaining as a ghost for hundreds of years until he could finally pass them down to TP Link.
Three pages: Link (Ocarina of Time), Link (Majora's Mask), Hero's Shade
