* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseMonarch Lee Shaw]], particularly in his younger years in the show's [[TheFifties 1950s]] segments. He was surlier, more sardonic and more aggressive than his friends Keiko and Randa, and even as a 90-something year old man in the present he prefers to solve certain problems with violence. However, he dearly cared for his two friends and for his [[HonoraryUncle honorary nephew]] Hiroshi, who he saw as a [[LikeASonToMe son]]. His chronologically earliest scene in the series thus far introduced him in 1952, sporting bruises and in trouble with a superior officer in the Army, because he beat up two other soldiers in a bar in disgust that they were drunkenly "bullying" (meaning sexually molesting) an unwilling Filipino barmaid.

* ''Series/TheSopranos'': The main character, Tony Soprano, is a mob don, but has many likeable and sympathetic qualities, such as being a family man, an animal lover, having genuine camaraderie with his subordinates, making real efforts to improve his moral character, and is generally [[PragmaticVillainy far more pragmatic]] than the other, far more violent, mobsters. [[SubvertedTrope However]], as the series goes on, [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil he crosses many moral lines]], and it's shown that his sympathetic traits are just a shallow and self-indulgent mask made to convince himself that he's a good person deep down, despite his increasingly horrible acts. In the end, it's clear his sympathetic traits are far outweighed by his selfishness and sociopathy, and he's just as ruthless as any other mobster.
