History Main / BenevolentMageRuler

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': Rimuru Tempest is both the King of Tempest and renowned as the Great Demon Lord, who possesses all manner of magical abilities that let him destroy nations on his own, nevermind having dozens of subordinates [[UndyingLoyalty who could and would do the same at but his word]]. He is shown to be very benevolent to his citizens and uses his abilities to increase the prosperity of his nation, [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating which further endears him to them]]. One of the nation's first advantages is that Rimuru can provide them with the most advanced healing potion in the world, which they can either use themselves or sell, giving them an economic advantage over neighboring nations right off the bat. Humorously, Rimuru had no intentions of becoming a ruler, originally just wanting to save a small goblin village from being destroyed, but his growing influence thanks to his power and the number and quality of his subordinates (many of whom grow to become as strong as Demon Lords who rule their ''own'' nations), eventually results in the birth of a grand nation with himself at its head.

* [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Millennial_King The Millennial King]] was created by /tg/ when the board wondered why there seemed to be no good {{Necromancer}}s. The titular king [[BadPowersGoodPeople uses his undead minions to eliminate the need for menial labor]] and respects the right of his people to refuse undeath. This is usually not a problem, as there are [[HundredPercentAdorationRating no shortage of volunteers.]]

Compare EmperorScientist and {{Magocracy}}, the sci-fi and VastBureaucracy counterparts, and AuthorityEqualsAsskicking or AsskickingEqualsAuthority depending on how he became King or Queen in the first place. For a smaller-scale version, when he is the master of only one or a few ordinary humans, see MuggleInMageCustody. Contrast SorcerousOverlord.

** The backstory, detailed in the ''Mage Wars'' trilogy, features the conflict between reluctant leader Urtho, the Mage of Silence, and would-be world conqueror [[SorcerousOverlord Ma'ar]]... along with its world-shattering aftermath.

* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'': Blackberry's goal in reviving the ancient wizard Diamond Mine is under the belief that he would be this type of ruler over the world. Zophy and his companions oppose her believing that he would be a SorcerousOverlord instead. Given that his followers in ancient times had sealed him inside a diamond, they might be onto something. In ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]'', she misses out on the window to fully revive Diamond Mine and instead performs a ritual to become the second generation Diamond Mine -- Diamond Black. It remains to be seen whether she becomes the BenevolentMageRuler she imagines or a SorcerousOverlord for Zophy to bring down.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV: Shadowbringers'' has the Crystal Exarch, the founder and BenevolentMageRuler of the Crystarium, the main center of resistance against the [[AngelicAbomination sin eaters]] that are slowly destroying the world.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' can have [[spoiler:Edelgard become this for the Adestrian Empire, as she has a budding talent in [[BlackMage Reason]] that can be leveled to make her a decent magic user on top of her physical abilities. Byleth can also potentially become this for all of Fodlan in some route endings due to having a budding talent in [[LightEmUp Faith]].]]

* ''Fanfic/TheTriforceTrilogy'': Princess Zelda would have become the ruling Queen of Hyrule had the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Calamity]] not have happened. It was a natural trait among the women of her family to wield great amounts of magic power.

* At the end of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9901020/1/A-Warm-Blizzard A Warm Blizzard]]'', a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic, [[spoiler:[[AntiHero Prince]] [[HeelFaceTurn Hans]]]] is revealed to be a [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinetic]] as a counterbalance [[AnIcePerson to Elsa's cryokinesis]], and [[spoiler:uses it to thaw her out after a witch cast a spell on her. When he was a child, a [[{{Depowered}} magical binding was put in place]] [[PowerNullifier so he won't be able to use his fire powers]], but a magical scissor removes this binding. He and Elsa later become Arendelle's magical RulingCouple.]]

* Lord Ainz from ''Anime/{{Overlord2012}}'' is somewhere between this and SorcerousOverlord- while he is an [[ObviouslyEvil Ob]]([[ObliviouslyEvil liv]])[[ObviouslyEvil viously Evil]] [[OurLichesAreDifferent undead lich king]] who plans to TakeOverTheWorld, he is actually quite benevolent as evil overlords go, and the kingdom under his rule actually seems to be better off than it was under the "rightful" king. He also took on the actual title of Sorcerer King, after rejecting other titles like the Wise King or the Handsome King. He has stated that his goal is to create a peaceful kingdom where all races can live together side by side. Unfortunately, all but three of his underlings are completely evil, and are persuaded that Ainz is far craftier and eviller than any of them by far, and that any show of benevolence towards PunyHumans is just to better trap them. The fact that he's trying to run his company like an ideal Japanese corporation (Ainz was a lowly {{salaryman}} TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture in his previous life) in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy doesn't help either.

* The Magic Kingdom Levianta in the ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' was ruled by a prophetess named Maria Moonlit before going on a search to select ''another'' Benevolent Mage Ruler, a powerful sorceress who could help save the country. The selection process didn't end well.

* Papa Smurf in all versions of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' is the benevolent ruler of Smurf Village and one of the most powerful wizards of his time.

* At the end of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9901020/1/A-Warm-Blizzard A Warm Blizzard,]]'' a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic, [[spoiler:[[AntiHero Prince]] [[HeelFaceTurn Hans]]]] is revealed to be a [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinetic]] as a counterbalance [[AnIcePerson to Elsa's cryokinesis]], and [[spoiler:uses it to thaw her out after a witch cast a spell on her.

He and Elsa later become Arendelle's magical RulingCouple.]]

* Glinda in ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' after Oscar wins her kingdom back. Her father was also a powerful wizard. Oscar is not, but he uses his technical knowledge and stage magic to create this impression.

** In ''Videogame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', if the LadyOfBlackMagic in training Lilina makes it to the end, she's said to have become the very wise and powerful Duchess of Ostia, who manages to lead the Lycian League into becoming the Kingdom of Lycia. As a plus, if she marries Roy via an A support, they grow into a RulingCouple and lead Lycia together.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV: Shadowbringers'' has the Crystal Exarch, the founder and BenevolentMageRuler of the Crystarium, the main center of resistance against the [[AngelicAbomination sin eaters]] that are slowly destroying the world.

* Prince Dexter of ''WesternAnimation/LittleWizards'' is in training to become one of these, being the rightful heir to a kingdom who was ousted by an EvilSorcerer who decided he wanted to rule. His ultimate goal is to become powerful enough that he can defeat the SorcerousOverlord in a WizardDuel.

* The LetsPlay/EmpiresSMP has Gem, who’s the ruler of the mountainside kingdom called The Crystal Cliffs. She’s a sweet lady who does a lot to keep her more volatile allies in check.

* ''Franchise/{{EXTRAPOWER}}'': Blackberry's goal in reviving the ancient wizard Diamond Mine is under the belief that he would be this type of ruler over the world. Zophy and his companions oppose her believing that he would be a SorcerousOverlord instead. Given that his followers in ancient times had sealed him inside a diamond, they might be onto something. In ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]'', she misses out on the window to fully revive Diamond Mine and instead performs a ritual to become the second generation Diamond Mine - Diamond Black. It remains to be seen whether she becomes the BenevolentMageRuler she imagines or a SorcerousOverlord for Zophy to bring down.

* Creator/DanielThrasher: While "benevolent" might be a stretch, in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiv4uxIBC64 When you meet a jazz demon in medieval times]]", it's revealed that the King has been [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking much of his buffoonery]] and is actually an accomplished wizard, being able to banish a group of jazz demons with a {{Scatting}} incantation.
* The LetsPlay/EmpiresSMP has Gem, who’s the ruler of the mountainside kingdom called The Crystal Cliffs. She’s a sweet lady who does a lot to keep her more volatile allies in check.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', the King of Vale was said to possess fantastical powers and brought about 80 years of peace and prosperity following the conclusion of the Great War. Though offered the opportunity to TakeOverTheWorld, the King instead established democratic ruling Councils in each kingdom and ended the monarchy. Historians question the accuracy of the stories about his powers, because there's no evidence to suggest magic actually exists. The truth is more complicated: [[spoiler:The King was a previous incarnation of BigGood Ozpin, an ancient Wizard cursed with ResurrectiveImmortality. In his first reincarnation, he had attempted to rule mankind as this trope but failed because his wife, [[BigBad Salem]], favored the role of the SorcerousOverlord. Their opposing ideals eventually lead to tragedy, and they became enemies that have secretly fought over the fate of humanity for thousands of years]].

It remains to be seen whether she becomes the BenevolentMageRuler she imagines or a SorcerousOverlord for Zophy to bring down.

* ''Literature/TheQuestOfTheUnaligned'': Subverted with King Kethel and Queen Tathilya. They're the rightful rulers of the realm of Caederan, the most powerful mages in the Realm, and benevolent enough to make fine rulers. The problem is that they are too "air-headed" (both [[BlowYouAway]] and [[GeniusDitz figuratively]]) to realize that by favoring wind over the other three elements, they've thrown the whole kingdom out of whack. However, this trope is played completely straight with [[spoiler:their son and daughter-in-law, Crown Prince Alaric and Princess Laeshana.]]

** As is only natural for a WitchSpecies, the leaders of the [[OurElvesAreDifferent Altmer (High Elves)]] tend to be such rulers. Powerfully skilled in magic, they also tend to be benevolent toward their own subjects (though the races of Men [[ScrewYouElves may disagree]]). Queen Ayrenn from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' provides an exceptional example.

** Hecate was the Queen of the [[WitchSpecies Witches]]; her title is even [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin right there in her name]]. By all accounts, she was a good and wise ruler, who is revered by witches to this very day. She notably fought against the dragon shapeshifters to free both witches and humans, the latter of whom the dragons had enslaved. She spared the youngest dragon princess, who was only a toddler, instead [[OrcRaisedByElves raising her amongst the witches]] in the hopes she would be kinder than her brethren.

* Shakespeare's ''Theatre/TheTempest'' has Prospero, a magician who was the Duke of Milan before he was deposed by his scheming brother. In a case of an UnbuiltTrope, Prospero was indeed a good ruler of Milan until his devotion to his studies of magic caused him to neglect his duties (hence the revolt). In exile, he acts more like a SorcerousOverlord of his tiny island.

* Lord Ainz from ''Anime/{{Overlord2012}}'' is somewhere between this and SorcerousOverlord- while he is an [[ObviouslyEvil Ob]]([[ObliviouslyEvil liv]])[[ObviouslyEvil viously Evil]] [[OurLichesAreDifferent undead lich king]] who plans to TakeOverTheWorld, he is actually quite benevolent as evil overlords go, and the kingdom under his rule actually seems to be better off than it was under the "rightful" king.

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': Rimuru Tempest is both the King of Tempest and renowned as the Great Demon Lord, who possesses all manner of magical abilities that let him destroy nations on his own, nevermind having dozens of subordinates [[UndyingLoyalty who could and would do the same at but his word]]. He is shown to be very benevolent to his citizens and uses his abilities to increase the prosperity of his nation, [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating which further endears him to them]].

* Elyon eventually becomes a Sorceress Princess to the Kingdom of Meridian in ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' and its [[WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}} cartoon adaptation]]; this is in stark contrast to her brother Phobos, who ruled for many years as a SorcerousOverlord.

* Papa Smurf in all versions of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' is the benevolent ruler of Smurf Village and one of the most powerful wizards of his time.

* Harry Potter in ''Fanfic/TheDifferenceOneManCanMake''. Appearing in the middle of north of the Wall with only what he carried with himself at the time, Harry slowly managed to gain power among the Free Folk tribes, to the point he ends up becoming pretty much the Wizard-King-beyond-the-Wall, although Harry is only such because the Free Folk, for the most part, agree that he is a great leader. Plus, he uses his magical abilities to kickstart a working economy and help produce all sorts of foodstuffs at a faster rate than what should be possible, benefitting the entire society. Unfortunately, many that live south of the Wall think of him as a SorcerousOverlord, and some (among them King Robert) are considering possibly attacking the Free Folk because of the threat they appear to be.

* The White Queen from ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' and ''Film/AliceThroughTheLookingGlass'' has trace amounts of this, especially when she magically clears away the chains and cobwebs surrounding the grandfather-clock [[spoiler:which doubles as a portal to Time's realm]].

* In the ''Literature/DeptfordMice'' books, the Starwife is a squirrel queen who possesses incredible magical powers. While she is known for her fiery temper, she is well-meaning and everything she does is for the good of all.
* ''Literature/TheDragonKnight'' is a baron who's also a magician (albeit a low-level one, since being a feudal lord means he can't dedicate his life to magecraft).
* Paul Atreides and his son Leto II in ''Franchise/{{Dune}}''. Though how "good" they are is debatable, considering how many billions died during the [[Literature/DuneMessiah jihads of Paul's Fremen]] and how [[Literature/GodEmperorOfDune Leto played tyrant]] in order to get people to leave the stagnant core worlds and scatter throughout the universe. They have the ability of [[{{Seers}} prescience]] and conscious control over their bodies to an [[MasterOfYourDomain improbable level]]. And of course Leto II merged with a sandworm and became the TropeNamer for GodEmperor.

* Subverted with King Kethel and Queen Tathilya in Literature/TheQuestOfTheUnaligned. They're the rightful rulers of the realm of Caederan, the most powerful mages in the Realm, and benevolent enough to make fine rulers. The problem is that they are too "[[BlowYouAway air]][[TheDitz headed]]" to realize that by favoring wind over the other three elements, they've thrown the whole kingdom out of whack. However, this trope is played completely straight with [[spoiler: their son and daughter-in-law, Crown Prince Alaric and Princess Laeshana.]]

* Literature/TheBible: King Solomon of Judah is frequently depicted as TheArchmage, oftentimes to the point of it being said that he either ''invented'' magic or was the person to make it accessible to mortals. Numerous mystical texts, particularly on the subject of demonology, are attributed to Solomon and between the three monotheistic religions he's been told to perform such feats as the binding of hundreds of thousands of demons, journeying the breadth of heaven and hell, commanding the winds and the flames, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and speaking to animals.]] In fact, the famous "Seal of Solomon" (two intertwined triangles) has become one of the symbols most strongly associated with [[HermeticMagic Western mysticism]] - it being said that Solomon's command of spirits was so vast that even millennia after his death the mere invocation of his ''signature'' strikes fear in their hearts. Interestingly, he's never explicitly mentioned to be a magician in the bible (although he ''is'' in the Koran, and his magical abilities are readily acknowledged by Jews, Christians and Muslims). More interesting yet is the fact that in all three religions, [[MagicIsEvil magic is largely thought to be evil and forbidden]] (with the exception of mystical Judaism, which permits "White Magic"). Solomon gets a special exception from the rule as he was acknowledged by God Himself as the wisest and most benevolent of all mortals and his most beloved, meaning whatever Solomon did could not, practically by definition, be bad.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The GodEmperor of Mankind, among other things, was considered the greatest psyker (the franchise's term for psychics and sorcerers) of all time, capable of bending the fabric of reality and destroying much. His power was considered godlike, [[AGodIAmNot despite his insistence otherwise]]. As usual we have to note here that in any other setting he'd be a SorcerousOverlord, as billions lie dead from his direct actions, never mind those of his followers. [[RunningGag Did we mention that 40k is GRIMDARK yet?]]
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' has several examples among its more magical races, though they are almost unheard of in the human realms. The High Elves are ruled by a Phoenix King, elected from the male nobility of Ulthuan, and an Everqueen - who is always the eldest daughter of the previous Everqueen, conceived after a year-long ritual marriage to the Phoenix King. All Everqueens are powerful sorceresses by birthright, and some of the Phoenix Kings have also been powerful wizards (Bel-Korhadris the Scholar-King and Bel-Hathor the Sage most prominently). Likewise the Wood Elves of the Loren Forest have Queen Ariel, who is a great wizard. The Slann Mage-Priests, rulers of the Lizardmen, might also count, although their morality is starkly alien and so it is a matter of uncertainty as to whether they're Benevolent Mage Rulers or Evil Sorcerous Overlords. Both at the same time probably.
** Kislev is ruled by a Tzar who are ice mage/rulers who can bring forth a blizzard on their enemies, this is very handy when their northern neighbors are Chaos worshiping vikings who RapePillageAndBurn for a living.

* TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful has eight Queens six of whom fill this trope. Each has their own style of governing and magic.

* [[AuthorAvatar Lord British]] in the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series is an extremely powerful (if aging) magician and a benevolent ruler of the land named after him, Britannia.

* Jieun of ''VideoGame/{{Dandelion}}'' grows into this in the HappilyEverAfter WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. In the game proper, he's merely a Sorcerer WisePrince.

* ''VideoGame/WarCraft'':

* With the minor exception of his title (he used Grand Vizier instead. He was still openly and legally the one in charge, note), Gavin Magnus of Bracada of ''VideoGame/MightAndMagic'' and ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'' was this trope (understandable, as the ruler of the Wizards' nation of Bracada). [[spoiler: Then the world blew up, and he went [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill off the deep end]].]]
* Alexander of ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' is a reasonably competent magic user by the time he returns to Daventry and becomes a prince. When he goes to the Land of the Green Isles to seek Princess Cassima, he ends up being crowned king. Granted, his spell casting tends to be limited to UtilityMagic, but that doesn't mean he can't be deadly with it.
* Half the characters in ''VideoGame/AgeOfWonders'' are this. The other half are the other trope. Which one you are depends on your choices.
* When the titular Princess from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' is an adult, she's always this trope. In fact, ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'' establishes that the divine magic passed down her line is so vital for protecting Hyrule from Ganon that the current Zelda's inability to awaken that magic is noted to be a very dire set of circumstances.
* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]] also has some magical powers, as shown in ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach'' and the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series. In the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros original storyline]] this is the reason Bowser kidnaps her in the first place, since her magic was powerful enough to frustrate his attempts to invade her kingdom, but this aspect of her character has been downplayed greatly over the years.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** As is only natural for a WitchSpecies, the leaders of the [[OurElvesAreDifferent Altmer (High Elves)]] tend to be such rulers. Powerfully skilled in magic, they also tend to be benevolent toward their own subjects (though the races of Men [[ScrewYouElves may disagree]]). Queen Ayrenn from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' provides an exceptional example.
** Typically averted for the Dunmeri (Dark Elven) [[TheClan Great House]] Telvanni. Though a [[TheMagocracy Magocracy]] through and through, their accepted practice of KlingonPromotion and belief that MightMakesRight turns the majority of their rulers in {{Evil Sorcerer}}s or, at best, {{Pragmatic Villain}}s whose benevolence stems only out of self-interest. Master Aryon from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' provides a Downplayed example in line with the latter statement.

* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' has a complicated relationship to this trope. Zoss, The Conquering King, is widely held as an object of reverence and his conquest of Throne after the gods had abandoned it ushered in a GoldenAge, where the first Demiurges (people capable of jumping from their home universes onto Throne) stayed in throne and ruled as [[ThePhilosopherKing wise philosopher kings]]. That said, Zoss only ''got'' to the point of being the GodEmperor of TheMultiverse through copious amounts of violence, and his successors amongst the younger Demiurges began ''conquering'' the worlds they'd originated from with Zoss doing nothing, and ultimately he left as The Universal War tore his entire creation to shreds and left the scraps to the current BigBadEnsemble.
-->'''[[spoiler:Incubus:]]''' A traitor king that '''abandoned''' his kingdom. For all your majesty, all your power... Your heaven is '''rotten''', old man.

* [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Millennial_King The Millennial King]] was created by /tg/ when the board wondered why there seemed to be no good {{Necromancer}}s. The titular king [[BadPowersGoodPeople uses his undead minions to eliminate the need for menial labor]] and respects the right of his people to refuse undeath. This is usually not a problem, as there are [[HundredPercentAdorationRating no shortage of volunteers.]]

* Zuko was this from the end of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' when he beats his sister in an Agni Kai (firebending duel) to become Fire Lord until a few years before the SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' started, totaling at some 65 years. He [[AbdicateTheThrone retired and let his daughter, Izumi]], step into his shoes. Izumi hasn't been confirmed to be a bender but given her very powerful lineage, she can be assumed to be one of these as well.
* The Princesses of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' have extreme magical powers. Celestia and Luna can move the sun and moon respectively, Cadence used ThePowerOfLove to [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 repel King Sombra from]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 the Crystal Empire]], [[spoiler: and now Twilight Sparkle becomes a princess at [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure the end of the third season]], making her a mix of this and EmperorScientist]].
