Altair
Back by popular demand and after many requests, more beards are being slapped on to the superstar characters of gaming to give them a new look and help them compete in todays market that is more thirsty for mature games.
As the game industry becomes older, so too do those who play them. In order to identify more with the character's they control in-game, many players yearn for titles with more adult themes. This is to say that new games should be made, just that existing characters could stand to look more mature themselves.
How about Altair with a bushy beard, Bowser with a lip ferret, or some facial growth to help Sephiroth feel more like a man.
Also, be sure to check out part one of Making game characters more mature with beards which as since been picked up by Kotaku.

That's funny... Pit now kinda looks like Kratos...
Actually, I like that Pit was given a Greco-Roman art style. It's cool
