Fortnite, given its multiplayer status, isn't really a story-based game. Most multiplayer games don't even have any semblance of a story, whereas Fortnite does have a story attached to it. Each season has a unique storyline that progressed the events of the game. Whether it's been used to introduce characters or change the map, the Fortnite storyline has been an integral part of the game.

Fortnite lore is one of the best aspects of the game, and it draws players to the game with its unique ability to connect things and create a story for a game that wouldn't typically have one. Here are the 10 most important characters in Fortnite lore, so far.

The Scientist is responsible for activating a rift beacon, which in turn reverted Neo Tilted to its original form, Tilted Towers. This brought back a fan-favorite POI, at least, for a little while. Plus, rifts were a strong part of the game.

8) The Ice King

The Ice King was an integral part of the later seasons in Chapter 1. Debuting in the first week of Season 7, the Ice King quickly became an important figure. Throughout that season, he became part of the battle against the Fire King. He's also the reason Polar Peak was covered in snow.

7) Chaos Agent

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 saw a lot of changes. The initial storyline for the new chapter was focused mainly on the struggle between E.G.O. and A.L.T.E.R., the latter led by Chaos Agent.

6) Tony Stark

Without Stark's work on rift beacons, no other Battle Busses would have combined to eventually stop Galactus, nor would there have been a rift for him to be sent back through. Stark was a key contributor in the Nexus War, one of the most important events to date.

5) Thor

Thor is responsible for Galactus finding the island and for saving the island. The Nexus War was started by Thor showing the island to the devourer of worlds, but without Thor, no other Marvel heroes would have joined and helped to save the island.
