Line 29:

** Also, {{spoiler|Abe Slaney}} from ''The Adventure of the Dancing Men''. He will do ''anything'' to force his ex-girlfriend Elsie Cubbitt (née Patrick) to return to the USA with him, going from harrassment and threats written in a sdecret code that only he and his victim can decipher at first (the mentioned "dancing men"), to {{spoiler|shooting her [[Nice Guy]] husband Hilton dead when he confronts him.}}

** {{spoiler|Jefferson Hope}} from ''A Study in Scarlet'' manages not only to be an [[Anti-Villain]] version of the trope {{spoiler|(Enoch Drebber was the [[Complete Monster]] who forces Hope's girlfriend Lucy to marry him and drove her to a [[Death by Despair]], and Joseph Stangerson was a [[Jerkass]] who aided him by killing Lucy's dad)}}, but also a [[Magnificent Bastard]] since he {{spoiler|dies peacefully right after being caught, not even being tried.}}.

* Darien from ''[[Wolf Breed]].'' First off, he is a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werewolf]] and when we first met him he already has [[Complete Monster|an almost complete lack of morals]] along with a [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~|burning hatred of humanity]]. This partly stems from his [[Doomed Hometown]], which he is responsible for by the way, [[Freudian Excuse]]. When he meets Maria, the first female werewolf he has seen since his all werewolf hometown bought it, he immediately falls in love with her only to find out she has been raised by humans, doesn't really know she is a werewolf, is a devout Christian as opposed to Darien's [[Flat Earth Atheist]] outlook and has already begun falling in love with with a man named [[Knight in Shining Armor|Josef]] who is also [[Love Triangle|falling in love with her.]] And to twist the knife a little deeper, Josef is a soldier in the army that wiped out Darien's hometown and killed his his family. Darien doesn't react too well to any of this.

* The Lady of the Green Kirtle from ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', who ''[[Brainwashed]]'' [[Henpecked Husband|Rilian]] into loving her. Subverted in that this was all part of a plot to take over Narnia.

** Played straighter with Crown Prince Rabadash from ''The Horse And His Boy'', willing to start a war with Archenland ''and'' Narnia without even the smallest excuse or challenge if it means he'll have [[World's Most Beautiful Woman|Queen Susan the Gentle]] as his puppet-wife. {{spoiler|He '''[[Humiliation Conga|spectacularly]]''' fails.}}
