== [[Literature]] ==

* In P.C. Hodgell's ''[[Chronicles of the Kencyrath]]'', heroine Jame, who was raised among the Big Bad's minions, doesn't trust her own judgment as to right or wrong. During the first two books, Marc is the Conscience, her solid moral center; from halfway through book 3, Brier takes over the role, in a much sterner and harder-to-please way. Both of them inspire Jame's moral development.

* Bunny Manders in E.W. Hornung's 'Raffles' stories. He always ends up helping in the burglaries, but never manages to do anything alone, and often prefers that they fail.

* Cordelia in ''[[Angel]]'' after she received the visions. She made sure Angel kept his focus on 'helping the helpless' rather then vengeance or making money.

* ''[[House MD]]'''s Dr. Wilson.

* Daniel Jackson from ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''

* Eli and Lt. Scott from ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' might fit, though they are pretty ineffective.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan in [[Knights of the Old Republic]] are ''trying'' to be this for your [[Player Character]].

** The [[Player Character]] is this to {{spoiler|Bastila, if they can convince her to turn back to the light in the end}}.
