* Cassiopeia of ''[[League of Legends]]'' was once a beautiful human woman who served as a spy for Noxus by seducing foreign diplomats. However, upon breaking an oath of secrecy to a certain Freljord noble, she was cursed and transformed into her current snake-like form.
* Ganondorf from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' is said to have sworn an oath of fealty to the king of Hyrule before the events of the game, but the young Princess Zelda isn't fooled and knows that he plans to betray the kingdom and seize the Triforce for himself. That ends up being exactly what happens, and over the course of seven long years, he transforms the prosperous kingdom into a monster-infested hellhole, and is implied to have murdered the king he pretended to be loyal too.
** His incarnation in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'' is an oath-breaker as well due to the game's backstory serving as a [[Whole Plot Reference]] to ''Ocarina of Time''. While some details differ {{spoiler|he murders the queen this time, and is after her sacred stone as opposed to the Triforce}} the overall story beats and motivations for oath-breaking are basically the same.
* The overarching villain of Olberic's story in ''[[Octopath Traveler]]'' is Erhardt, a once-loyal Knight of Hornburg who betrayed and killed his liege lord during battle. While Olberic is deeply hurt to have been betrayed by his sworn brother, he's even angrier that Erhardt broke his oath and murdered the man he swore to protect. Things get complicated, however, when it turns out that {{spoiler|Erhardt had sympathetic reasons for betraying the king... namely, that the king allowed his homeland to fall into ruin (which he didn't, but he had no way of knowing) when invaders set out to attack it.}}
