* [[Legacy of Kain]] : Janos Audron for the vampires. While Kain, Raziel, and Vorador aren't ''technically'' evil (they're better than [[The Chessmaster|Moebius]] and the [[Knight Templar|Sarafan]] at any rate), they're all kind of assholeish in their own way. Janos is the only vamp who's not morally ambiguous and slippery/enjoys messing Raziel around.

* [[Final Fantasy X|Jecht]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' is good, or at least neutral, despite being a member of the Warriors of Chaos, all composed of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' villains. The reason he's siding with the villains is that the local [[Smug Snake]], [[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Emperor Palamecia]], manipulated him into thinking that their victory would let him rejoin his son, Tidus. {{spoiler|[[Final Fantasy IV|Golbez]]}}, on the other hand, is a [[Reverse Mole|good guy posing as a villain]].

** To a lesser extent, [[Final Fantasy XII|Judge Magister Gabranth]]. In the 13th cycle, he's nothing more than a disgruntled jailer who serves as a warden for those no longer used in the conflict. Several of lines are somber and hint that [[The Atoner|he wants nothing more than penance for his past transgressions]], while most of the other Chaos warriors mock him for his more admirable qualities. Compare this to [[Final Fantasy XI|Shantotto]], who serves as Team Cosmos' [[Token Evil Teammate]] (to the point that most of the villains revere her). Both of these are somewhat subverted in the prequel ''Duodecim'', as the two are actually affiliated with their respective deities this time around (however, Gabranth just seems to be [[My Master, Right or Wrong|doing his job]] and seems to be confronting Cosmos simply to end the war--thus lacking an ulterior motive unlike most of the others, while Shantotto is still a fair bit malicious, even towards her ally [[Final Fantasy XI|Prishe]]).

* [[Final Fantasy VII|Reeve]], [[Mega Corp|Shin-Ra's]] head of Urban Development, seems to be the only person on Shin-Ra's board of directors with a conscience or sense of ethics. {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn|He eventually defects to AVALANCHE]] as a [[Double Agent]]}}
