**[[The Grim Reaper|Shadar]] "The Malevolent Shadow" was once a prince of a destroyed kingdom who after merging with a sword manages to make himself [[The Dreaded|a figure of fear]] and he uses his position to murder all criminals, as well as anyone, who gets in his way. He keeps up with Deimos and Apollo, and manages to thwart some of their plans. He manages to thwart Faust and Abel's attempts to force to kill him and trying to kill [[The Hero|Slade]] respectively in his goal is [[Visionary Villain|to murder people to keep the balance]] all without going to his [[One-Winged Angel]] form.
** [[Light Is Not Good|Abel]] started as a nobody, but after getting a magical eye, he trained Slade and got himself seemingly killed after revealing his agenda trying to kill Khan in Slade's mind, being only stopped by Shadar. He later returns by murdering Apollo, a [[Manipulative Bastard]] himself and came dangerously close to wiping out the world. He also tried to go out with dignity, even if he ultimately didn't.
** [[God Is Evil|Proteus]] is the god the world. Once the humans become ungrateful, he sends Khan to kill a lot of them. He tries to convince Galahanzer to join him, who refuses and becomes the above-mentioned Shadar. He later preys on Rhea and trains her to become a powerful warrior. When finally awakened, he summons his creations do defend himself, only failing when Loki betrays him and allows Slade's team to defeat him and takes his defeat with grace.
* Main antagonist Aken Bosch of ''Descent: Freespace 2'' spends the entirety of the game attempting to ally with the Destroyers, AKA the Shivans (who happen to be [[Omnicidal Maniac]]s), whom he believes are unstoppable and will never be defeated regardless of the GTVA's efforts. When you are tasked with a squadron to intercept and disable his ship, he openly sends a communication channel to the player and taunts you and questions the competence of your commanders as he warps out of the system, well before you have any chance at hitting him, just before a Shivan fleet ambushes the player's squadron. He frequently outsmarts the entire GTVA command in his capital ship, and when it looks like he's finally been caught when his ship is disabled and boarded, it's found out that he had planned a ruse which included the capture of his ship and all of his crew all along, and he had actually used the confusion to escape alone on-board a Shivan transport. What happens next will always be a mystery, as the trilogy was never completed.
* {{spoiler|Arkham}} of ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' plays all the sides against each other, in order to {{spoiler|open the gate to hell.}}
