Changed line(s) 15,16 (click to see context) from:

* The unnamed priest from the "Angels" music video by WithinTemptation. He lures the main character into his house after she is seemingly abandoned on the side of the road by her companion. BaitTheDog ensues as he is established as a nice guy. The woman goes to his back room and discovers newspaper clippings of a bunch of other women. It is then revealed that he is really not a priest, but rather a SerialKiller who dresses up as trustworthy people (such as a doctor, a clown, and, of course, a priest) and lures women into his home to kill them. The killer then chloroforms the woman and takes her out into the desert to klll her by burying her alive next to the at least 16 graves of the other women he killed. Just when it looks like it's the end for her, she, her companion, and several other band members reveal themselves as angels (hence the title) and the souls of the women he killed come back to kill him. He is never given any reason for why he likes to bury women alive, leaving us to assume that he does it ForTheEvulz. Throughout the video, his eyes are shown to glow an unnatural red.

* The narrator of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hSDIjh-iMk A Criminal Mind]] definitely qualifies. That song could almost be the ANTHEM for this trope...Gowan really brings the point home in the second part of the first verse: 
-->I stand accused before you
-->I have no tears to cry
-->And you will never break me
-->until the day I DIE....
** And the chorus:
-->A criminal mind is all I
-->All I've ever known
-->They tried to reform me
-->but I'm made of cold stone
-->My criminal mind is all I
-->All I've ever had
-->Ask one who's known me
-->if I'm really so bad
-->I AM.
:: The whole song is about how the narrator is a [[MagnificentBastard ruthless, charismatic criminal mastermind]] (whose crimes, by the way, [[NothingisScarier are neither explained nor elaborated on]]) essentially BRAGGING about how nothing and no-one can change him. Summed up excellently in the second part of the final verse:
-->Some people struggle daily
-->They struggle with their conscience 'till the end
-->I have no guilt to haunt me
-->I feel no wrong intent

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiP6_sCZvuM During live shows early in their career]], Music/{{Disturbed}} would paint their "madman" lead singer as this during his Music/AliceCooper[=-=]like on-stage execution for concert openings. He struggles like an animal, strapped into an electric chair, while a chilling voice reads out his [[UpToEleven absurdly long and unreal]] list of crimes.
-->[[AC:Docket 1031373 in the case of the United States versus David Michael Draiman.]]
-->[[AC:The defendant has been found guilty of the following crimes:]]
-->[[AC:38 counts of murder; Forced entry; 24 counts of statutory rape; 13 counts of sodomy; 12 counts of aggravated assault; 10 counts of theft of private property; and one count of treason against the government of the United States of America.]]
-->[[AC:Because of the violent and overall [[TitleDrop disturbing]] nature of these crimes, the defendant is hereby sentenced to death by electrocution]]
-->[[AC:May {{God}} have mercy upon your soul.]]
** After this, the room darkens while Draiman can be heard sizzling. A moment later, they play Down with the Sickness. Also, the docket number is Draiman's birthday (March 13, 1973).
*** The doctors in the video probably count too. Horrible as Draiman may have been, assuming any of the intro was true, anyone who [[spoiler: waterboards someone in a sink, cuts up a defenseless man with a chainsaw, or force-feeds someone human eyeballs and flesh]] is most certainly beyond any kind of redemption themselves.
** Apparently, this was parodied in [[RedBand Red Band’s]] ‘final performance’. The story behind the performance was that Red was sentenced to death and his final request was a kick-ass final performance. The performance started with various ‘evidence’ from his ‘trial’, including the judge’s shock at the nature of Red’s acts, followed by Red’s therapist coming on stage and mentioning how Red had sexually harassed his own mother ''in utero'', performed incest with strangers, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking didn’t pay his therapist bills.]] (Red himself seems to show genuine affection to no-one, to the point where he encourages his friend Poncho to jump to his death already for no other reason than ‘I haven’t got all day, I got shit to do’, the only exceptions being Marina Maximillian Blumin, with whom he falls in love, and his own son.)
* Though opinions differ, Murdoc of the {{Gorillaz}} definitely CrossesTheLineTwice and ''then some''. So far, his track record includes theft, insurance fraud, possible murder, OrganTheft, extortion, and many, many counts of assault. Most of these crimes were aimed at 2D, the only person who'd tolerate him as long as he did, and on top of all that, Murdoc's still a misanthropic, [[UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness filthy]], perverted alcoholic.
