Line 79:
* Paladin Miko Miyazaki from ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' ends up being one of these, though at first this impression appears to have been wrought from circumstance. Time and again she is portrayed as believing [[Violence Really Is the Answer]] in regards to even minor crimes, shows hypocrisy about lawfulness in battle, and must be given multiple commands by her legitimate lord, Shojo, to even consider taking a less extreme course of action. This finally reaches its head when she {{spoiler|kills Lord Shojo believing him to be the head of some nefarious anti-good conspiracy. Even when stripped of her paladin powers by good-aligned Gods, she ''still'' refuses to believe she's crossed the line, instead concluding that she's facing an even more elaborate conspiracy and the stripping of her powers is some sort of trial}}.
* Siegfried in ''[[Dominic Deegan]], Oracle for Hire'' starts as one of these.
* Heavily implied in ''[[Goblins]]'' with Kore, who murders innocent and villain alike if he perceives them as a force for evil in the world. Although why no higher power has intervened and robbed him of his powers is [[Epileptic Trees|one of the comic's biggest mysteries.]]
** {{spoiler|It's eventually revealed that he got cursed by a god-like demon to absorb the souls of all creatures he kills in his body, keeping him alive forever and allowing him to adopt any of these souls' alignment for any purpose, including keeping his paladin powers.}}
