{{quote|It filled me up in an instant and I imagined it leaking from my eyes, nose and mouth. I wanted to shout and dance with joy because it was everything Streen had described. It was what I felt when [[Happily Married|Mirax]] first said she loved me. It was the scent of the perfume my mother wore, and the warm laugh my father used to have when he was proud of me. It was the hearty slap on the back from Wedge after a mission and even a touch of Whistler's triumphant serenades. It was everything that was good and right and positive and alive; and it was waiting for me to bend it to my will.}} |

* Moist von Lipwig in the [[Discworld]] books, specifically the end of ''[[Going Postal (Discworld)|Going Postal]].''

** Slightly subverted in the sequel, ''Making Money''. Moist's job has become boring and his mood has deteriorated to the point where he is breaking into his own building because he can, and even carrying around a blackjack despite the fact the he loathes weapons. Vetinari also implies that he has been embezzling. He starts acting heroically again after being tricked and coerced into a new job as the head of a bank. Seems that Moist would rather be a bad guy with an interesting life than a good guy with a boring one, but being a good guy with an interesting life is even better. |

* In ''[[The Stand]]'', Harold is [[The Resenter]], and decides to help out the good citizens of Boulder just so that they won't suspect he's [[The Mole]]. While doing so, he discovers that the good guys genuinely appreciate his help, and wonders if maybe he should just try [[Becoming the Mask]]. The usual [[Heel Face Turn]], however, is subverted when the [[Dark Side]] offers him <s>really</s> mildly kinky sex. |
