== Tabletop Games ==
* Some leaders in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' are fighting for a strengthened humanity able to endure the grim darkness of the far future...united under the eight-pointed star of Chaos. Others, however, just want something, and the difference is often academic if they're offering you up to the Dark Gods or raining siege shells on your city.
 
 
Line 93:
* [[Command & Conquer|Kane is probably most famous.]]
** Played with in that we never find out exactly what ''his'' vision (as separate from the visions he presents to his followers) is. Clearly, he has a plan, but it seems to result in wildly different goals between one game and another (exactly what is the connection between [[Body Horror|Divination]] and Ascension?).
* [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] in ''[[Fallout 1]]''. Believes that his Super Mutants are the natural evolution of mankind and the perfect solution to the irradiated, destroyed Wastelands of 22nd-century California.
** Caesar from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''. He thinks that the [[After the End|post-apocalyptic earth]] is proof that democracy has failed, and sets out to unite what's left as a monothetic dictatorship, replete with slavery, crucifixion and institutionalized sexism (including legally-sanctioned ''rape''). At the game's beginning he's conquered Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado, and is poised to take Nevada.
* {{spoiler|Jacques the Aldersberg, the Grand Master of the Order}} in [[The Witcher]].
