History AffablyEvil / Other

* ''Literature/TheHeavenCycle'' has its own share of villains--namely Jango Marley and Mason Summers--who are very polite, charming individuals who are also willing to manipulate, harm, or even murder the applicants of the P.A.R.A.D.I.S.E. program and other civilians to achieve their goals or acquire what they desire.
* ''Literature/TheKindnessOfDevils'' has Lucifer and Mammon overall, both of whom are ''technically'' evil for being morally-shady Devils and for defying God, despite how kind and friendly they are. Some other villains in the series also qualify.
** ''Literature/TheDreamsOfLonelyStars'' has Thomas Nero, a seemingly benevolent and friendly man with a tragic backstory. He's also the leader of the cult of Cthulhu who's trying to end the whole world.
** ''Literature/AndToAllAGoodNight'' has [[spoiler:Krampus]], a charismatic FriendlyEnemy who respects Hardestadt. He's also trying to destroy Christmas and put several children in harm's way.
* WebVideo/HeroHouse gives us an example in Megatron, of all people.
* ''Literature/TheNeverMythos'' has [[spoiler:Draynak]] and [[Literature/TheCityOfNever Welter Faye]], the former of whom is a courteous, polite deity trying to destroy the Teraverse while the latter is a seemingly friendly man who is so obsessed with the City that he's willing to murder his own associates.
* In the WebSerialNovel ''Literature/APracticalGuideToEvil'', this seems to be one of the distinguishing traits of the Black Knight. [[spoiler:Though the mask slips a bit in Summerholm when Catherine makes a scene.]]
** [[spoiler:If you've read the flashbacks for him, you can see it's not a mask. He is just a really nice person unless it contradicts what he's planning. His mind has repeatedly been described as "cold gears" logically grinding the world to dust]]
* ''Literature/{{Legatum}}'':
** ''Literature/TheRoadToHell'' has several orc soldiers who are very friendly and easy to talk to, despite their brutish nature. Many of them are also okay with slaughtering and/or raping innocent human beings and other sentient creatures just because it's "acceptable" within their community.
** ''Literature/ScrambledEgg'' has Sonya, an understanding and amicable dark mage who's trying to use a deity to destroy the whole world.
* ''Website/SFDebris'': Borg drones are mostly little worse than [[PunchClockVillain disgruntled office workers]] who greet a returned Seven of Nine by discussing a promotion one of them received, contrasting with the Voyager crew, who are mostly kind of assholes.
* ''Literature/TailsSeries'':
** ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has Rellis Rottili, a jovial big-time mobster who helps the protagonists find various leads on their journey to dismantle a galactic Cartel organization.
** ''Literature/TailsOfTheSpaceGladiators'' has several prisoners within the Gladiator Detention Facility who are all convicted of some crime ranging between larceny, rape, murder, etc. All of them still act like regular civilians who can easily befriend one another.
* Max Walker in Creator/BillyBirmingham's ''12th Man'' comedy albums is affable, but willing to commit violent and obscene acts in a misguided effort to get back his position in the commentary team. Far from objecting to the way Birmingham portrays him, the real Walker is an unabashed fan.
* Allegedly, one way of escaping the Japanese ghoul Kuchisake Onna is to invoke this trope by telling her that you have somewhere else to be and don't want to be late. According to this legend, she'll respond to this by apologizing for interrupting and excusing herself politely.
* Similarly to the above, the Hulder (also known as Huldra or Skogsrå, depending on which part of Scandinavia you are in) is a forest spirit who will take the shape of a beautiful woman (albeit with a cow's tail and a back like a hollow tree) and lure men to their doom. However, if you manage to figure out she is a Hulder and politely point out the flaws you found in her disguise ("Excuse me, miss, but your tail is showing" is the traditional phrasing), she will not only let you go, but handsomely reward you.
* The Ninja from ''WebVideo/AskANinja''.
-->''Thanks for your question! I look forward to killing'' you ''soon!''

* 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).
** There's also Marquis, a supervillain currently incarcerated in [[TheAlcatraz the Birdcage]], who cares deeply and sincerely about [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his daughter]], and remained personable and polite even while he was bleeding out onto the floor.

* In the ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' FanFic ''FanFic/BoyScoutsOneHalf'', the character of Proctor is quite sweet and helpful. Unfortunately, he attached himself as a {{Sidekick}} to the AlwaysChaoticEvil Justy Yung.
