* In the backstory to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Sauron, after the events of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', promised to abandon the ways of his former [[Evil Overlord]] and master Morgoth. Then he went and made [[Artifact of Doom|the One Ring]]?
** Things went in a bit different order; Sauron was implied to have genuinely regret his decision of siding with Morgoth after the first time he fell, if for no other reason than that it leadled to such a humiliating defeat, but was too proud to beg for forgiveness, and soon fell into villainy, once again. The forging of the One Ring took place a millennia later, and at that time Sauron was an all-out villain, forced to disguise himself, and work under a false identity to get the elves trust him for awhile.
*** I heard somewhere that in addition to his pride, Sauron realized that with Morgoth defeated and the Valar returning to Valinor, ''he'' was now the most powerful being in Middle-Earth, and he decided to take advantage of it.
** Of course this brings up the topic of Morgoth, who was let out from imprisonment and seemed to be an allright guy? Until he destroyed the trees, stole the Silmarils, and murdered Fëanor's father.
Line 75:
** In ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]: The Dark Brotherhood'', he claims to have "completely reformed". ''Nobody'' believes him, but ''they [[Enemy Mine|work with him]] anyway'' for a good stretch of the game since they legitimately need his tech. No prizes for guessing how ''that'' turned out.
** Also, in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'':

'''Sonic:''' "[[Sarcasm Mode|Well, that's a relief.]]" }}
* The plot to ''[[Mega Man 3]]''. Dr. Wily claims to have reformed, and works with Dr. Light to build a giant "peacekeeping robot" which Mega Man has to go out and get the components for. The components, oddly enough, are guarded by 8 robot masters... and once they've gathered them all, Dr. Wily steals the new robot and plots to use it to take over the world, of course.
