** Siegfried Schtauffen in the original ''[[SoulSeries Soul Edge]]'' and ''[[SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'', and partially in ''[[SoulSeries Soul Calibur II]]'' prior to his quest for redemption. A teenage bandit who accidentally beheaded his own father during a raid, Siegfried completely lost his mind and set off in search of his father's "true killer." On recovering the Soul Edge from the defeated Cervantes De Leon, the Evil Sword completely consumed the fragile mind of the boy, transforming him into Nightmare. Whilst most characters fall under the thrawl of the Soul Edge on possession of it, it is implied the sword influences them to do evil, corrupting them with its power. In Siegfried's case, his immature and unstable mind allowed the sword to transform him literally into an extension of the sword itself. Eventually as the sword is weakened by its defeat at the end of ''[[SoulSeries Soul Calibur]], ''Siegfried's will begins to reassert itself until he is finally able to break free and begin his quest for redemption.

* If there were any worthier candidate for the epitome of this trope, it would have to be ''BlazBlue'''s Ragna the Bloodedge. [[spoiler:Not only did he lose his home at the hands of Terumi, but he was also betrayed by his brother, Jin, who cut off his arm simply because [[DisproportionateRetribution Ragna didn't pay attention to him enough]]. In addition, his younger sister had been kidnapped, and he was left to die. ''Then'', Rachel saves him from death by turning him into a half-vampire, causing him immense trauma and making his hair [[LockedIntoStrangeness turn white]]. Then, later, we find out that his sister is the template for a series of robotic clones, two of which are playable characters in the game. One of them, Noel, is a grown-up Saya for the most part, while the other, Nu, is a [[{{Yandere}} crazy loli robot bitch]] who wants to fuse with Ragna to complete herself and form the Black Beast, which turned the world into a [[CrapsackWorld crapsack one]] already.]] He's already flat-out stated that he hates everything because of these events. You can't help but feel pity for him, unless you're a soulless bastard.

* Anders in ''DragonAge2'' becomes this by the end of the game. After a time growing up in the Mages Circle--a life stuck in a tower, bound to do whatever [[PathOfInspiration the Chantry]] asked him to--he escaped from the [[KnightTemplar Templars]]... seven times. On the last time, he joined the [[DragonAgeOrigins Grey Wardens to escape more permanently.]] It's all downhill for him after that, unfortunately. The Grey Wardens consider him a wuss and mock him enough that he leaves, and then he lets a wayward Spirit of Justice--once a friend of his--into his body. All of this isn't too bad, but it starts getting nasty when [[spoiler:he goes to Kirkwall.]] The sheer dark magic of the place corrupts Justice into a Demon of Vengeance. By the time Dragon Age II begins, he's constantly fighting for control over the influence of Vengeance/Justice. After all of this, his brooding is pretty justified. (He gets added points for being the constantly-hunted leader of a Mages' Rights group.) In the final act, though, [[DemonicPossession he can't fight Justice off anymore,]] and essentially performs a [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope terrorist attack on the local branch of the Chantry.]] Talk about a TraumaCongaLine. Ultimately, his fate is left up to [[PlayerCharacter Hawke.]]

* Several characters from ''League of Legends'' fit this trope.
** [[BlackMage Veigar:]] A member of a [[OurGnomesAreWeirder notably short and cheerful race]], he was driven insane from isolation while imprisoned in [[WretchedHive Noxus]]. He then spent years learning dark magic, and vowed to end conflict by bringing all nations to their knees.
** [[ColdSniper Varus:]] The guardian of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin pit of corruption]] whose village was burned and family was killed by invading Noxian forces. Overwhelmed by regret and fury he absorbed the power of the pit of corruption, failing the sole task he was given in the process, in an attempt to gain the power he needed to exact his revenge.
--> ''"Beware a man with nothing to lose"''
** While Noxus seems prone to create this sort of character, they aren't without their own woobie.[[CrutchCharacter Urgot]] was once a proud, fearsome soldier of Noxus who threw himself into the fray until the day his hands were too mangled to hold a weapon. He was awarded for his loyalty by having his hands replaced by blades and given the role of High Executioner. While following a group of soldiers on a mission, he was going to get the opportunity to kill Jarvan IV, the prince of rival nation Demacia but before he was given the chance he was chopped down by a Demacian soldier named Garen Crownguard. Robbed of the grandest moment of his life, Urgot's sheer anger and hatred was the only thing that made him survive being rebuilt as [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/a/aa/Urgot_OriginalSkin.jpg the necromantic cyborg he is today.]]
--> ''"Existance is torment."''

Selvaria doesn't really count here; she does it because she's blindly loyal to the literal end, not because she's been pushed too far. She was ALWAYS willing to go that far for him, she just thought he cared enough about her to never ask it of her.

* The Origami Killer, aka [[spoiler: Scott Shelby]] in ''HeavyRain'' is the way he is all because his own father was a complete bastard who regularly abused him and his brother both physically and verbally and ultimately convinced him he was worthless, and then to top it all off was forced to watch his own brother drown and said dad refused to help him. And his mom, the nice parent, apparently contracted Alzheimer's and all but lost her mind so she couldn't take care of him anymore. And now he drowns children and puts their fathers through sadistic tests all in the deluded hope that they can save them and that the kids can have fathers that are worthwhile and will always be there for them, something he never had.
* General Nathan Sheridan, the BigBad of VideoGame/{{Fracture}}. When you read his back story you find out he sacrificed his career in the Atlantic Alliance military, his reputation, his friends and family all for the sake of his daughters, who were diagnosed with a rare genetic disease which couldn't be cured by conventional means. Desperate, he moved to the Republic of Pacifica, where there is no ban on genetic research. There the best geneticists worked tirelessly in a race against time to save them, but their efforts were futile and his daughters died within weeks of each other. And just to twist the knife in a little deeper six weeks after their deaths a cure was found. His wife divorced him soon afterwards and the rest of his life collapsed around him. Determined to make sure what happened to his daughters never happened to anyone else, he starts building an army the likes of which the world has never seen before to remove the ban on genetic research by force.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Disciples}}'' series, GodOfEvil is [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] since the "evil" gods only became evil because their "good" compatriots were jerks who treated them like garbage. This does not apply to their followers. Bethrezen's [[LegionsOfHell Legions of the Damned]] are by far the nastiest faction who gleefully corrupt and slaughter in Bethrezen's name and TheUndead Hordes are utterly ruthless while following Mortis' will.

* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/RadiantHistoria'' turns out to be [[spoiler:the previous Sacrifice, who was less than amused by the fact that his asshole of a brother got to be king (and do a terrible job of it) while he was expected to die to hold off the end of the world. His exploration of the various possible futures just led him to the conclusion that [[OmnicidalManiac the world sucked so much he might as well destroy it]], so he [[RefusalOfTheCall up and left]]. The fact that King Victor's reaction to this was to kill his brother's favorite nephew to get himself a new Sacrifice probably didn't help.]]
