History AffablyEvil / NewMedia

* In the WebSerialNovel ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', despite his WellIntentionedExtremist tendencies (which lead him to [[spoiler:have one hero killed and risk blowing up an entire city on a gamble]]) and his incomplete fluency in English, the Indian [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual parahuman]] Phir Sē proves to be quite personable (even funny).

* Ganondorf from ''Machinima/MeleesEnd'' is polite even while kicking the good guys' asses.

* The world of ''Literature/TheGodsAreBastards'' has this in spades. Well, evil is a strong word, but even characters whose goals and methods are pretty reprehensible, many of them are extremely charismatic and likeable. Naturally, this makes them all the more dangerous. Bonus points for [[ManipulativeBastard Justinian]], the Archpope and best candidate for BigBad of the series, who has never said an unkind word about anyone on text.

* Humon's Neils is a good example of this. This Affably Evil, [[BiTheWay bisexual]] Dane is the nicest guy you have ever met! But if you get on his bad side, expect emotional torture and a bullet to the brain, or bludgeoning with a blunt object (courtesy of his black lover, Duncan). Although, [[http://humon.deviantart.com/art/quot-Please-don-t-cry-quot-142297867 he does try to comfort those whom he is about to kill]].

* In the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', EvilOverlord Lord Doom really is a pretty swell guy, if you overlook the entire "take over the world, tyrannical dictator" aspect of his personality. He's urbane, friendly, and sends get well cards to his enemies when they are sick or injured. He even runs a charitable organization that has helped millions of children in poverty around the world. Did we mention that he wants to rule the world and everything in it?
** It's entirely possible he believes himself to be a benevolent dictator in the making.
** The thing about Lord Doom is that he realizes that in order to enact his vision for a better world (and ultimately, that is his goal: to make the world a better place for everyone), some very unpleasant decisions will have to be made, and only he can make those decisions. So while he is ruthless, he isn't cruel.

* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'': Lauren Mallard, the NVCR program director from [=StrexCorp=]. She seems to be a genuinely sweet, bubbly young woman, and Cecil describes her as "a delight" and "the kindest, most gentle manager we have ever had at this station" (although, to be fair, that's not saying much). But she takes a rather sinister interest in knowing the names of Cecil's loved ones, which he becomes wary of.

* Baron Ragoon in ''Podcast/{{Hello From the Magic Tavern}}'' is the ruler of a minor domain just over the mountains fro Hogsface. He comes across like a small-town mayor with a strong interest in keeping order, expanding infrastructure, increasing employment, and reducing Foon's ridiculously high rate of child mortality. He is unfailingly polite and welcoming, and invites our heroes to live in his pleasant realm. He's also an open, devout supporter of the {{Dark Lord}} whose plan to reduce child mortality to have wild animals kidnap children and put them to work, and he found a wife by abducting a woman and killing her fiancée and family. Chunt is surprised that somebody so nice could be so evil; Arnie points out that there's a difference between being nice and being polite.
** Also, the protagonists' counterparts in the {{mirror universe}} are just as friendly and easy-going as the main universe (or more so in Chunt's case), but casually discuss conquering Foon in the name of the Dark Lord over a tasty meal of fresh human flesh.

* WebVideo/ChairmanNuke lives and breathes this trope. Due to the nature of the character, this also overlaps with MeanCharacterNiceActor.
