** They got the Ilwrath to attack someone else ([[Cloudcuckoolander|the Pkunk]]), but there is evidence that they may have TRIED to induce civil war with the messages that they sent to the Ilwrath. They ended up getting a plyable new upper caste (which is even better), however. Plus, the wording of the 'godly' command which induced their attack on the Pkunk suggests that the Umgah may have been intended to send the Ilwrath against the Pkunks' relatives, the Yehat, who would have made mincemeat of them. There is a definite strategic sense in crippling a decidedly unstable [[Religion of Evil|theocratic]] neighbour.
** When you rescue their entire race from [[Mind Control]], they gladly proclaim Player Character a "Great Hero", give a load of valuable data... {{spoiler|and if you stay around to chat with them, they'll quickly get bored,}} and to liven things up declare Player Character a "Great Enemy". Nothing stops you from just running away with your "reward", of course, but it says a lot about them that they will hand over some of their own ships and crews, just to make sure you put up a good challenge when they immediately betray you.
* ''[[Mana Khemia]]'': Flay's motivation for [[Crazy Awesome|everything he does]], from forming the [[True Companions|workshop]] in the first place to founding an Evil Syndicate and taking over half the world before being stopped by Alchemy Man, [[JustAll AsAccording Plannedto Plan]]. In the sequel, he does things like launching a traditional Berserker raid on the office of a fellow faculty members and implanting chips in people's brains. Flay would be [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] for treating a JRPG like [[James Bond]] meets [[Sentai]] with ninjas, except he's very good at [[Magnificent Bastard|beating the genre into submission]].
* It's arguable if Smilin' Jack had any ulterior motives in [[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines|VTM: Bloodlines]] or if he did it all simply for a good belly laugh.
** He had the same reasons as the rest of the anarchs for the results. The ''methods'' made it an [[Overly Prepared Gag]].
