* Bagramon from ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars''; with "Bagra" being a deliberate corruption of "Gabriel".

* The Prince of the Underworld in ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker'' is named Lucifon. Despite trying to lead an army against humans years ago, he's a necesary evil, since there must exist a balance between Heavens, Underworld and Earth. Plus, he's not such a bad guy when you meet him.

* Arrem, BigBad of ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} IV: The Dawn of Ys''

* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' the Sonozaki sisters and their grandmother all have the character for 'oni' (demon) in their names. (The twins' mother did, too, but had to change the spelling when she got married.) It's an [[InTheBlood old family tradition]]...

[[AC:WebComics]]

* Also features in ''WebComic/WhiteDarkLife'', though ''that'' Damien starts out as a HarmlessVillain and eventually becomes a fully-fledged good guy.

* Hiruma from ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'' has the kanji for "demon" in his name, 魔. His name means "Devil in broad daylight"...

* Devilmon, Demidevimon, Diablomon/Diaborumon from ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}''.

* Who else but ''{{VideoGame/Diablo}}'', the Lord of Terror and the lord of all demons from the game series bearing his name? This one may be too obvious to count in, however.

* Ulquiorra Cifer from ''{{Manga/Bleach}}''.

[[AC:WebComics]]

* ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}}'' doesn't use the entire name, but do have a Blood Angels [[MagicKnight Librarian]] called Mephiston.

* Also Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred from the ''{{VideoGame/Diablo}}'' series.

* Lucifer's original name from the [[Comicbook/{{Lucifer}} Vertigo comic mentioned under that name.]]

* The Master of the [[{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}} Dark Angels 2nd Company]], Sammael of the Ravenwing (which in itself probably qualifies for this trope).

* The Demon Lord Samael from ''{{VideoGame/Darksiders}}''.

* Mr. Satan from ''Anime/DragonballZ''. Ironically, he's not evil (well, unless being a [[{{Jerkass}} complete and total jerk]] can be considered evil) nor is he the badass fighter [[MilesGloriosus he claims to be.]]

* For ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'', the assassins of the Varia squad have names like Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon.

* If you go for a variant on "beelzebub" or "satan", you'll generally look like you're trying too hard, though. Unless you're in Japan: Mr. Satan (from ''Manga/DragonBall''). He's not evil, though, and while he'd be a badass in any other Verse, in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' he's a {{Muggle|s}} with [[FakeUltimateHero delusions of grandeur]]. ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}'' also gives us Demon, Beelzebumon, and [=SkullSatamon=]. They were dubbed as Daemon, Beelzemon, and... [=SkullSatamon=]?!

* Evangeline Athanasia Katherine [=McDowell=] from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', has a hard K sound in the middle names just to increase the fear. Also an OverlyLongName, and the girl has a number of [[RedBaron Titles to Run Away From Really Fast]]

* [[MagnificentBastard Angela]] from ''{{Series/Heroes}}''.

* Current Chapter Master of the Dark Angels in ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}}'' is one Azrael.

* Asriel Dreemurr from ''{{Videogame/Undertale}}'' definitely falls under this, in all his OneWingedAngel form-having glory. [[spoiler: Also he absorbs the souls of all your friends to attain this form.]]

* From ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'', we have a KnifeNut [[EvilPrince crown prince]] who wants to off his equally insane younger twin Belphegor and claim the throne.

* [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Emperor Uriel Septim]].

* ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}}'' gives us a double-dose of this trope via ''Gabriel Angelos'', Literature/BloodRavens Chapter Master.

* Uriel makes several appearances in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', helping out the protagonist, Harry Dresden, who nicknames him Mr Sunshine. Heavily implied to be the most dangerous archangel, and outright stated to be 'Heaven's spook' and he who killed the firstborn of Egypt. He also gives Harry a very nasty fright when he objects to being called 'Uri'. Justified in that Harry's nicknames in particular have power, and that part of his name is very important.

* ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}} gives us a double-dose of this trope via ''Gabriel Angelos'', Literature/BloodRavens Chapter Master.

* The Force Commander from ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}}: Dawn of War''. Bonus points for his name being Gabriel ''Angelos''.

* ''VideoGame/FrontMission: [[GaidenGame Gun Hazard]]'' has Colonel Ark Hellbrand, whose military takeover of the [[{{Ruritania}} Republic of Bergen]] kicks off the plot. Really, though, putting a guy with a last name like "Hellbrand" in charge of anything but maybe a fundraising dinner is {{genre blind|ness}} bordering on [[TooDumbToLive suicidal]].

* Also a recurring monster in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series.

* The Kalanchoe daigremontiana has lots of names, including "The Devil's Backbone." It is poisonous, but only if you eat it. It does, however, reproduce at a terrifying rate.

* Eldiel: FallenAngel antagonist in both versions of ''Franchise/{{Ys}} IV'', and the BigBad of the Super Famicom version.

* Arrem, BigBad of ''Franchise/{{Ys}} IV: The Dawn of Ys''
