* CompleteMonster: [[EvilOverlord King Abimelech]], the archetypal BastardBastard in literature, [[TyrantTakesTheHelm rose to power]] following the death of his good-hearted father Judge Gideon by [[SiblingMurder having 69 of his own brothers killed]]. As ruler, Abimelech organizes wars of conquest and enacts atrocities to keep the Israelites under his control, most notably having a thousand civilians burned alive to suppress an uprising in Shechem. When the people of Thebez revolt against his cruel rule, Abimelech attempts to raze their shelter to the ground. Vain and petty until the very end, Abimelech, upon being mortally wounded by one of the women he was trying to immolate, orders his aide to impale him with a sword in a futile effort to create the illusion that he died bravely in battle and [[IWasBeatenByAGirl not by the hands of a woman]].

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Samson is presented as a flawed figure who abuses his powers, gets screwed over for it, and ends up dying because there's nowhere else to go. Yet after he is betrayed by a certain FemmeFatale named Delilah, he gets captured by the Philistines and subjected to a particularly [[NightmareFuel horrific]] FateWorseThanDeath. You can't really blame him for wanting to [[{{Pun}} bring the house down.
