Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}
* ''[[The Fourth]]'' has the [[Villain Protagonist]] Lord Tiberius Skarva, as well as his father, who is known amongst villainy as a man who helped keep many monsters and demons in employment.
* ''Usedbooks'' features a villain named Raidon that fits this trope [http://www.curiousv.com/usedbooks/?p=371 PERFECTLY]. He is such a nice guy, you'd have a hard time thinking of him as a villain.
* Most of the villains in ''[[Antihero for Hire]]''. All of them seem to be some combination of [[Complete Monster]] and this trope, or [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] and this trope.
* Garland from ''[[8-
** Which makes you wonder, is he just not very good at evil, or is he [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize that being a competent villain is typically a death sentence in an [[RPG Verse]]?
* ''[[Narbonic]]'' is ''built'' around this trope.
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
** Early on, [[Big Bad]] Xykon is [[Faux Affably Evil]], and his seemingly unfocused, borderline ditzy mannerisms might make you think he fits in this category. You'd be ''[[Complete Monster|very]], [[Not-So-Harmless Villain|very]]'' wrong. [[Laughably Evil|He is still kind of funny, though...]]
** General Tarquin. Just listen to him describing how he managed to create those big, flaming letters to celebrate that his son has returned. All while telling said son just how much he means to him.

** Malack, Tarquin's former adventuring buddy and current [[Evil Chancellor]], is also very much Affably Evil. He gets along very well with Durkon, and may even be more genuinely nicer than Tarquin, even though he's also [[Lawful Evil]]. Having lost several children violently, he also has very mundane woes that he openly discusses with fellow parents.

'''Vaarsuvius''': "Have you ever considered adoption? Surely your political climate produces no shortage of orphans."
'''Malack''': "Yes, but...I'm worried about not having that, you know, special bond..." }}
** He might even be [[Lawful Neutral]]. Malack did say that clerics of a Deity of Death prefer Neutrality, as Death claims Good ''and'' Evil people.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* Lucifer (he hates being called "Lucy") in ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]''.
* Lord Kyran from ''[[Emergency Exit]]''. [http://eecomics.net/?strip_id=1086 Anyone up for smoothies?]
* The Beelze family (except Diva herself, who is just affable) of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131104165445/http://www.evildivacomics.com/ Evil Diva]''. Notably, her father. He's an all-around nice guy who bakes cupcakes for his daughter to share with friends at school, and he is also the guy who you sell your soul to in exchange for fame/fortune/doughnuts (he likes watching TMZ to "catch up with old friends"). Satan himself might also qualify...or maybe being affably evil is just a requirement for all of Hell's employees, as it certainly makes it easier to corrupt the righteous.
* Pretty much everything that talks in the ''[[Dungeons
* Capitan Snow from [[Archipelago]], psychopath, pirate, evil to the bone. Yet chats amiably to the heroes as he rips out their souls, threatens pregnant women, and tries to bring about the end of the world. He will even stop in a battle to talk about opera or books.
* Pretty much all the main characters in ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]''. They are all ''technically'' evil monsters, but that doesn't mean they spend ''all'' their time doing evil deeds. Arachne the drow will give you sensible relationship advice...then return to her dungeon to torture her collection of captives. Lewie the lich will lend you some skeletal minions to help out around the house...then attempt to [[Take Over the World]] through mind control. Good old Mrs. Bloodhand is the nicest, most motherly orc you are ever liable to meet...but put her in a position of power and she turns ruthless and Machivellian. Put her in a battle and she turns ''deadly''.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* Niels from [[Niels]]. He will always kill enemies with a smile, and is always very polite and nice around his friends.
* The Head Alien from ''[[Walkyverse|It's Walky!]]'' is as funny and easygoing as he is evil, and really a nice guy as exemplified here:

* Doc Scratch of [[Homestuck]] is a courteous gentleman who prides himself on being an excellent host. He is also a loyal henchman of [[Big Bad|Lord English]].
