Most of the time, [[Obviously Evil|evil characters will have a stereotypical "evil" look to them]]. Not these guys. These villains have the looks that are generally associated with absolute innocence. Of course, don't be surprised if they use that to their advantage.

Line 20:

* [[Marionette Master|Dietrich Von Lohengrin]] from ''[[Trinity Blood]]''. In-universe, he's described as having the face of an angel but the heart of a devil.

* In ''[[Gankutsuou]]'', this is done with Andrea, as is the case in the original ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' (see Literature below). While [[Generic Cuteness]] is in play, Andrea is still the most [[Bishonen]] cast member, and has blond [[Princess Curls]]. The only hint of his true nature as a depraved psychopath is the fact that he has rather slitted eyes which reveal themselves as [[Hellish Pupils]] when his [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|affable mask]] drops.

* Glemmy Toto of ''[[~~Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|~~Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'' is a [[The Charmer|charming]] [[Teens Are Monsters|17-year old]] with a goofy personality and the face of the [[Bishonen|bishiest]] pretty boy you ever did meet. He's a clone of [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|Gihren Zabi]], the UC version of [[Adolf Hitler]] and is the running for the title of "most evil person in the show".

* This is said, nearly word-for-word about the recently-deceased daughter of a couple who buy a rabbit from Count D in ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]''. {{spoiler|It turned out that said daughter had been absolutely adorable, but grew up to be a shoplifter, a drug addict, and generally a horrible person, thanks to her being spoiled throughout childhood. This comes up when the parents spoil the rabbit (who magically looks exactly like their daughter) and it promptly begins to act the same way, manipulating them into feeding it things that lets it rapidly reproduce.}}

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* One such character named Angelface (guess what he looks like) appears in a ''[[Blueberry]]'' story, as part of a plot to kill Lincoln. He ends up getting his face shoved into a locomotive's furnace

* [[Word of God]] says that Kroenen from ''[[Hellboy (~~Comic Book~~)|Hellboy]]'' literally ''was'' a choir boy before he became a self-mutilating psychopathic Nazi ninja zombie.

* Played (sort of) straight in ''[[Discworld]]'' with Mr. Teatime from ''Hogfather'', since his eyes serve as a [[Red Right Hand]].

** Played completely straight by Carcer in ''[[Discworld ~~(Literature)~~/Night Watch|Night Watch]]'', who could be standing in the middle of a room full of bloody corpses with a knife in his hand and say "What, me?" while looking genuinly hurt by the accusation.

* Ferahgo the Assassin from ''[[Redwall|Salamandastron]]'' has baby blue eyes which make him look completely innocent. In case the latter part of his name wasn't enough of a hint, He's not.

* Done by Alexandre Dumas in at least two of his novels.

** In ''[[The Three Musketeers (~~Literature~~)|The Three Musketeers]]'', there's an inversion of the [[Hair of Gold|good blonde]] and [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette|bad brunette]], as the heroine, Constance, has dark hair, and Milady, the villain, is [[Blondes Are Evil|blonde]] and angelic looking.

** In ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo (~~Literature~~)|The Count of Monte Cristo]]'', the villain Bendetto AKA Andrea has strawberry blond hair (making him a case of both [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] and [[Evil Redhead]]), and there's a comment in the text to the effect that he looked like an angel; unfortunately, that angel was [[Satan|Lucifer]].

* In the original ''[[Battle Royale]]'', [[Femme Fatale]] Mitsuko was repeatedly described as an "angelic beauty". She convinced several of her classmates that she was in fact completely innocent and vulnerable. The movie upgraded her to [[Evil Is Sexy]], while the manga turned her into an improbably buxom, demonic [[Broken Bird]].

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* One of the UnSubs in ''[[~~Criminal Minds (TV)|~~Criminal Minds]]'' was 13-year-old boy who used his innocent look to get closer to people and then kill them.

* The original name given to Angelus from ''[[~~Angel (TV)|~~Angel]]'' was 'The One with the Angelic Face' which sounds nice, till you find out just how vicious Angelus was.

* ''[[~~Fringe (TV)|~~Fringe]]'' does this in {{spoiler|the episode where it appears that two men are forcing people to harm themselves or even kill themselves, but it actually turns out to be the boy that is in the car with them. He is assumed to be the victim until it is revealed that he is the one perpetrating these crimes.}}
