* [[TroubledButCute Sonny]] from the independent, ComingOfAgeStory ''Film/{{Trash}}''. He starts off the movie as a well-intentioned, if slightly [[HairTriggerTemper gruff]] young man i.e. he fights his peers to a bloody pulp as a hobby but loves looking after small [[FriendToAllLivingThings animals]] and [[FriendToAllChildren children]], which include his [[MoralityPet infant niece]] and the [[ChildrenAreInnocent adorable]] [[DisabledMeansHelpless down syndrome afflicted little brother]] of his best friends LoveInterest (whom he also seems to have a thing for). Over the course of the movie, however, he goes on to kill three people and a [[AndYourLittleDogToo little dog]], without seemingly any real reason to. Even after he rightly gets arrested for this, you can't help but feel bad for him. To sum his life up; he's the breadwinner for a family that consists of a [[AbusiveParents violently drunk dad who regularly beats the crap out of him and a crack addict mother]] who only stops her husband by stating that their son ''ain't worth it'' (dear old dad follows this up with a straight forward IHaveNoSon tirade)! It's no wonder that at the end his [[spoiler:SuicideByCop actually feels like a ''blessing'']]!

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is one of them. Out of his own paranoia and personal issues he was unable to get help for, Anakin is persuaded by [[TheCorrupter Palpatine]] to [[DealWithTheDevil turn to the Dark Side]], under the condition of keeping Anakin's wife Padme and their unborn children safe. After committing horrid atrocities for Palpatine, and his growing emotional instability, Anakin, in an impulsive rage, force-chokes Padme, duels his former mentor Obi-Wan, resulting in him losing his 3 remaining limbs and being horrifically burned and disfigured. After his full transformation into Darth Vader, Anakin learns that Padme died, and likely their unborn child as well [[spoiler: (they survived, with the twins hidden from Vader)]], and everything he did was now AllForNothing. Vader now lives as nothing more than an EmptyShell, continuing to commit atrocities for Palpatine, as he believes he is BeyondRedemption and [[IveComeTooFar doesn't deserve a second chance after everything he's done]]. Even when he does his HeelFaceTurn, its right before he dies, and most of Anakin's life was being the mindless servant to someone and losing so many people he cared about for most of his life.
