** [[spoiler:David Archer from the Overlord DLC]]. He's an autistic savant whose talent in mathematics allowed him to communicate with the Geth, albeit crudely. His own brother, Gavin Archer, and Cerebus transformed him into a god-machine to control the Geth, but the experience is ''torturous'' for him as he is constantly suffering from SensoryOverload from hearing constant voices. His actions in the DLC were done purely in desperation to find some way to escape the noise, and the incomprehensible screaming turns out to be him begging for the noise to stop]].

** Akira Nishikiyama was once Kazuma Kiryu's best friend and the person he declared to be [[BloodBrothers his "brother"]]. Then he killed Sohei Dojima to save their friend Yumi, upon which Kiryu decided to take the fall and go to prison for their sake. Nishikiyama was eventually given his own gang but was never properly respected by his subordinates (who saw him as Kiryu's hanger-on). This, coupled with the loss of his sister turned him into the murderously ambitious crime lord that would stop at nothing to attain personal power, including killing his former friend Kiryu.

* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'':

*** On three of the four routes, this role is taken up by [[spoiler:Edelgard. When she was a child, she and her siblings were forced into cruel experiments by "those who slither in the dark," who wished to use her to exact revenge on the Nabateans, the descendants of the progenitor god. Edelgard was the sole survivor of eleven siblings of the experiments, which left her with two Crests and a reduced lifespan. Believing these actions to be the result of a society where Crests and nobility determined a person's value, she declared war on the Church of Seiros, holding them responsible for keeping society in such a state. And while both of the other house leaders have their own ideas about reforming Fodlan, Edelgard's ambition and stubbornness leads her to believe that only ''she'' can truly transform the continent, and she will never surrender, forcing you to kill her on every route where you oppose her.]]
*** The last route pits you against [[spoiler:Archbishop Rhea by siding ''with'' Edelgard. [[Really700YearsOld Rhea is actually Saint Seiros, the church's founder]], and one of the Nabateans. She was one of the few survivors of her clan when an army of humans who had been given weapons created by "those who slither in the dark" attacked their home and butchered those living there, including Rhea's mother, the dormant progenitor god. Seiros sought revenge, helped found the Adrestian Empire to that end, and killed Nemesis, the leader of the humans who had killed her people. She then set up the church as a means to bring her mother back to life. However, the church would contribute to the twisted state of society in Fodlan, and brought about a significant amount of needless death and suffering. In order for Fodlan to transform, she ''must'' lose her power (except if the protagonist achieves an S support with her, which is only possible on the Silver Snow route), with you directly coming to blows with her on the Crimson Flower route.]]

** The DLC's BonusBoss, [[spoiler: Laurence, the First Vicar, was the one who brought Old Blood to Yharnam, but, as indicated in his OminousLatinChanting theme, he did so with the best of intentions and only realized what he'd done too late for it to matter]].
