* ComicBook/LadyDeath had her own father as a textbook example. A vicious nobleman hated by his subjects that forcibly conscripted them to fight in the Crusades, while behind closed doors, practiced witchcraft and worshiped the Devil. Eventually his cruelty triggered a peasant uprising and stormed his castle, only to witness him being carried away by demons and leaving his daughter behind.
