Line 97:
* Semirhage in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''—interestingly, she tortures people entirely by stimulating the pain (and sometimes pleasure) centers of the brain and is quite possibly the finest healer who has ever lived. She extracted a...price in pain in exchange for saving people. when ordered to cut that shit out, she turned to the Dark One. People were known to kill themselves at the mere mention she would be questioning them.

** Various former Kings and Patricians of Ankh-Morpork count, though their tendency is only mentioned in anecdotes within the text. There's a (nameless) Torture Technician with the Cable Street Particulars in ''[[Night Watch (Discworld)|Night Watch]]'', however, and Captain Findthee Swing probably qualifies too.
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has a number of examples:

He is in all other respects completely unexceptional, suggesting that he's a [[Punch Clock Villain]].
