Line 20:
They've never said sorry, or at least never meant it, there was no [[Heel Face Turn]] and they are not [[The Atoner]] who'll help to make up for some wrong. No, they'll just sit back, but if a character underestimates their evil, if they think that because they aren't as bad as the more active monsters, that they're OK, they may get a horrid reminder of what the [[Retired Monster]] [[Not So Harmless|is capable of.]]
Monsters who don't retire, or come out of retirement and continue to be evil in old age, can become [[Evil Old Folks]]. [[Sub

Line 126:
* [[Stoic Spectacles|Jade]] [[Mad Scientist|Curtiss]] from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' {{spoiler|is responsible for creating fomicry at the age of 9, which he used to murder innocent animals and monsters, and committed generally evil acts, rightfully earning the nickname "Necromancer". However, after the death of his teacher, Nebilim, which he accidentally caused, he forbade himself from using fomicry ever again. Unfortunately for him, others with a limited understanding of fomicry would pick up his research from where it left off for their own unscrupulous goals, and the one that does have great understanding of it wishes to [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|change the world with it......]]}}
* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', {{spoiler|Sagacious Zu used to be a Lotus Assassin.}} Even though he quit over a case of [[Pragmatic Villainy]] ({{spoiler|he was ordered to [[And Your Little Dog, Too|kill the family of the emperor's brother as a punitive action]], which he argued was pointlessly cruel}}), he seems to have no regrets about any of the other things he did up until that point.

He doesn't even remember the first assassin he killed when his brother comes for revenge. Well, he is this to a point...{{spoiler|he most likely still hasn't gotten past how he dishonored Holly Summers by not killing her in battle when she wanted such a fate.}} Otherwise, he doesn't care to get back into the games until {{spoiler|Bishop}} is killed and Sylvia "convinces" him, perfectly fine with his pathetic lifestyle. It's mainly because killing has become boring to him after killing the best of the best. He does regret {{spoiler|killing Matt's cheerleaders}} but that and {{spoiler|Holly}} seem to be is only two regrets.
Line 138:
* In the Eridanus Galaxy online web game [[Imperium Nova]], the Vampire Count Sergio Von Carstein announced his retirement at the age of 74 after a number of evil acts, including brutally suppressing several human and vampire rebellions, engineering a plague so he could reanimated the corpses to work his farms, attempting to brutally murder several fellow nobles, hooking up hundreds of thousands of humans to blood extraction machines, creating a gigantic zombie horde out of a military cemetery, and a career in organized crime.
* Rich from the [[MSF High Forum]], pretty much qualifies. There's a reason Mel'lon does not like him.
* Not all the teachers and staff at [[Super
