== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Berserk]]'', the Count, the second major Apostle that Guts fights in the manga, became an Apostle by sacrificing his wife, whom he walked in on during a pagan orgy that went down in his very own castle, which drove him over the [[Despair Event Horizon]]. But the Count also had a daughter named Theresia, who meant the entire world to him. She is used as a [[Human Shield]] by Guts against him in a moment that sparks a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from Puck, Guts's companion who was captured and got to know the little girl. When Guts defeats the Count and he calls on the God Hand in order to avoid death, Femto, a.k.a. Griffith, shows his first sign in the manga of what a [[Complete Monster]] he can be by demanding that he sacrifice Theresia (since in order to become an Apostle one has to sacrifice those one most dearly loves in order to surrender oneself to evil) or be dragged off to Hell. The Count ultimately chooses his own death rather than the sacrifice of the only loved one he still has left.

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In a ''[[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]]'' issue where Hydra was planning massive destruction across the US. Before launching the attack they had set up safe havens for family of members and had set up a department in charge of moving these people to safety. For an organization that kills its minions with impunity, they showed surprisingly good people skills on this one.
** Of course there were limits and this makes a Minion do a [[Face Heel Turn]].
*** If you sign to be a minion of Hydra is probably expected that you have a expectancy of life really low, but that doesn't mean your family should have.
