Line 270:
** Infinite from ''[[Sonic Forces]]'' isn't much of a manipulator, but he's still a perfect example of a low-functioning sociopath. A sadistic thug with an ego the size of the [[Kill Sat|Death Egg]], Infinite lives to kill and terrorize others, and takes particular delight in hurting [[Player Character|the Avatar]], whose friends he killed just to scare them. While he's loyal to Eggman, he's still responsible for his defeat because of all the problems he's caused with his refusal to reign in his violent tendencies. By the time Eggman finally has enough and puts him out of commission, his arrogance and obsessive need to terrorize Sonic and the Avatar have done irreparable damage to his plans.
* If you thought a setting as cute, innocent, and laid-back as ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' would be lacking in these, think again! While he may not be a ''dangerous'' criminal, shady merchant Crazy Redd fits the bill as a high-functioning sociopath. He's shallow and manipulative, putting on grand displays of phony niceness so he can sucker people into buying overpriced goods that may or may not be stolen, as well as forged, useless artwork. While he makes a big deal about how everyone he interacts with is "family", he'll rip off his business partners and ditch them, leaving them penniless and destitute while never losing even a wink of sleep over it.
* Calo Nord from ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]''. When you first meet the guy, you learn that he's antisocial. ''Ridiculously'' antisocial. To the point that he threatens to kill you for ''making small talk'', [[Schmuck Bait|which you'll discover is no idle threat if you decide to push your luck]]. While being at least a bit ruthless is part of a bounty hunter's job description, he's a violent, remorseless nutcase who either views other people as gnats to swat away,
* [[The Legend of Zelda|Ganondorf]]. In the games where he isn't a [[Generic Doomsday Villain]], he's a vicious psychopath who will murder anyone who interferes with his quest for absolute power, as well as a frighteningly competent [[Chessmaster]] who knows how to make people do exactly what he wants in order to advance his agenda. [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Even at his most sympathetic]], he's still a selfish, violent old brute who [[Never My Fault|won't take responsibility for indirectly causing the destruction of the kingdom he was obsessed with conquering.]]
