Line 226:
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]'' has Chancellor Cole, who has red hair and is found out to be evil pretty early in the game.
** He's not explicitly stated to be evil, <ref>since there isn't much canon information about him</ref> but there's something just plain ''off'' about the [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Happy Mask Salesman]]. Especially noticeable when you tell him you can't give him the Majora's Mask yet.
** Yuga from ''A Link Between Worlds'' possesses long red, flowing locks. Makes sense, as he's hinted to be Lorule's equivalent to Ganondorf and is of course evil just like him.
* [[Neverwinter Nights|Aribeth]] has reddish hair (much more apparent from her portrait than her character model), though she is only evil for about half of the first campaign and you get to [[Heel Face Revolving Door|choose whether she stays evil]] in Hordes of the Underdark.
* Tactical [[RPG|RPGs]] like ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' portray the enemy units as having red armor and hair.
* Bowser from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Despite being a turtle he still has some hair.
* Silver, [[The Rival]] in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]''/''Crystal'', Mars from ''Diamond and Pearl'', Ariana from ''Heartgold and Soulsilver'', all Team Plasma grunts from the Unova games, and Maxie, the leader of Team Magma in ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]''/''Emerald'' (in ''Sapphire'', the latter helps the player).
** Subverted to some extent by Silver's manga counterpart, who is a red-haired antihero.
*** Silver in the games isn't exactly evil, just a bit of a [[Jerkass|jerk...]]
** That, and Maxie is probably the most sympathetic villain from the main ''Pokémon'' series besides {{spoiler|N in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]''}}.
** Lysandre from ''X and Y'', as well as pretty much all of Team Flare with the exceptions of Bryony, Mabel, Celosia, and Aliana who all possess different colored hair.
** The Orre games also have at least one Cipher Admin per game who possesses red hair: Dakim from ''Colosseum'' and {{spoiler|Eldes}} from ''XD: Gale of Darkness''. The latter however reforms from his evil ways while the former does not.
* Erol in ''[[Jak and Daxter|Jak II]]'' {{spoiler|and ''Jak 3''}}, although, most of the time, his hair is hidden by his helmet.
* Tiamat from ''[http://www.indiegames.com/blog/articles/index.php?c=rp&y=2007&gid=4 Last Scenario]'' (although she {{spoiler|was a good person before an [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|ancient power took over her mind]]}}).
Line 239 ⟶ 242:
** Partially subverted in ''Curse of Darkness''; Isaac is completely nutters, but {{spoiler|it's heavily implied that, half the time, Dracula is driving or at the very least co-piloting him. Isaac's a willing 'passenger', but still...}}
* Another subversion: Axel Almer of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''. He's an honest [[Evil Redheads]] in ''Advance'', as well as the GBA version of [[OG 2]]. However, in the subsequent remakes, he's more or less a [[Noble Demon]], not outright evil...then he pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]], making him a [[Redheaded Hero]] (as does his heroic self in ''Advance'').
* The ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series has Axel, who eventually develops into an [[Anti-Villain]] {{spoiler|all the way to a flat out hero.}}
** His predecessor Reno certainly counted in the original ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. Guy was a ''bastard'' to fight if you were underlevelled on that bloody pillar.
* {{spoiler|Lara's evil doppelganger}} in ''[[Tomb Raider|Tomb Raider: Underworld]]''.
Line 259 ⟶ 262:
** Then we have {{spoiler|Mimi Miney}} from the previous game. {{spoiler|It turns out, her and Dollie have a bit more than a thing or two in common, in fact.}}
** There's also {{spoiler|Souta Sarushiro}} from ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]] 2''.
* [[Fallout 3]] has Roy Phillips, a violent bigoted ghoul who still seems to have some hair that hadn't rotted off during his ghoulification.
