%%* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'': Gruntilda.* ''Franchise/BaldursGate'':
** ZigZagged by the BigBad of ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', Sarevok Anchev. He was a TinTyrant and [[TheAntichrist the son of an evil god]], but rather than trying to TakeOverTheWorld with brute force and an army of {{mooks}} he was TheChessmaster working behind the scenes as a VillainWithGoodPublicity. In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIIThroneOfBhaal'', LovableRogue Jan Jansen mocks him [[BullyingADragon to his face]] for his EvilPlan lacking the typical flair and audaciousness expected from Sauron wannabes.
** ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' had [[GeneralRipper General Ketheric Thorm]] and [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Lord Enver Gortash]]. The former was TheManBehindTheMan of the first act and ArcVillain of the second, an undead [[FallenHero oathbreaker Paladin]] with an army of some of the most evil creatures in the setting (necromancers, goblins, drow, gnolls, etc) and a massive fortress in a cursed region. The latter was TheChessmaster like Sarevok before him, but a more successful one as he managed to take over the titular city and turn it into a PoliceState with an army of MechaMooks and the CityGuards as his personal footsoldiers.

* In ''VideoGame/MasterDetectiveArchivesRainCode'', one would think that [[TheCaligula Yomi Hellsmile]] fits this role due to being in control of Kanai Ward's law and ruling the city with an iron fist, and overtaking Amaterasu Corporation himself through his wits. [[spoiler:This is wrong. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Makoto Kagutsuchi]], the CEO of Amaterasu Corporation and the BigBad, is the one responsible for Kanai Ward in its current state, being the one committing various atrocities as part of NecessarilyEvil scheme to keep the city's homunculi sustained, while keeping them in the dark about the fact that they're homunculi and not human. He also gained his power by blackmailing [[OneWorldOrder the Unified Government]] to keep their homunculus research secret. Essentially, Makoto has tricked the entire city into thinking they're something they aren't, and he is also, in addition, responsible for the conspiracy revolving around trying to hide this fact from them, while thinking himself to be in the right]]
