Lars Douglas--the Lab Chief of the Bureau--also contracts the virus and is in danger of dying as well.

** [[BloodCountess Countess Blood Fox]] is a literally bloodthirsty VampireMonarch who unleashed her werewolf army upon Godskeep, slaughtering the population to take over control and gleefully leaving a trail of corpses and dismembered limbs to have heroes Jeremy and Alyssa LuredIntoATrap.

* ''VideoGame/AvatarFrontiersOfPandora'': [[BigBad John Mercer]], the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Executive Vice President of Frontier Operations]] for the [[Characters/AvatarResourcesDevelopmentAdministration RDA]], epitomizes the worst of humanity thanks to his {{greed}} and xenophobia. As the director of The Ambassador Program (TAP), Mercer orchestrates a genocidal attack on the Sarentu clan, eradicating the entire population apart from the five children his program abducts. Under the guise of integrating Na'vi children into human society, [[WouldHurtAChild Mercer]] subjects them to [[TrainingFromHell brutal training]], severe psychological manipulation, and dehumanizing conditions. Mercer also repeatedly verbally and physically abuses the children, from lying to them about being abandoned by their own clan and confiscating the player character's songcord to severely beating Teylan for wetting his bed. This culminates in the cold-blooded murder of a child, Aha'ri, when she attempts to lead an escape. Mercer's cruelty only worsens after the TimeSkip, as [[EcocidalAntagonist he authorizes region-wide oil extraction projects at the expense of Pandora's natural habitat and the Na'vi tribes]], culminating in an ambitious plot to run a large-scale fracking operation that would decimate Pandora's Western Frontier. Mercer's relentless pursuit of power and control, coupled with his callous disregard for environmental sanctity and his utter lack of empathy, firmly establish him as a monstrous embodiment of greed and inhumanity.
