** ''The Sleepwalker'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Hassam Bin Hassam]] sells shoddy and faulty parts to airlines, leading to dozens of planes carrying hundreds being in danger, and the deaths of nearly 350 people from a large plane crash, something for which he had absolutely zero remorse. He would regularly beat his [[DomesticAbuse wife]], [[AbusiveParents son]], and [[BadBoss housekeeper]]. He abused his son for enjoying Western culture, despite [[{{Hypocrite}} enjoying it himself]], and kills his own wife when confronted about his plan to cover up his involvement in the plane crash. When he finds bugs in his house, he brutally waterboards his housekeeper in the toilet and shoots her in the thigh so she can not get help. When cornered, Hassam holds his own son hostage at knife-point and threatens to kill him if he is not allowed to go free.

* MoralEventHorizon:
** The Lambayeke cartel hitmen cross it in ''Class A'' by [[spoiler:torturing Junior to make Keith tell them where the money is]].
** Jane Oxford in ''Maximum Security'' ordering Eugene to kill [[spoiler:James and Lauren]] to cover her tracks.
** The AFM/AFA from ''Man vs. Beast'' are relatively sympathetic at first, and have a PetTheDog moment with the puppies they save from Ridgeway Kennels. Then they [[spoiler:kidnap Nick Cobb and force him to ingest large amounts of drain cleaner on a livestream]] and any potential sympathy goes out the window.
** Abby, Keith, Roman and the rest of the traffickers are already well over the line simply by virtue of being child sex traffickers. Keith then goes further when it's revealed that he rapes the children himself.
** Mr. Large finally crosses it in ''Mad Dogs'' when it's revealed that he caused a trainee to have a serious asthma attack by denying him his inhaler during a sandstorm. Then he tries to kill [[AndYourLittleDogToo Meatball]] when Lauren refuses to lie at his disciplinary hearing and strangles Kyle.
** In the same book, Sasha Thompson crosses it by beating councillor Chris so badly that he's permanently damaged [[DisproportionateRetribution for suggesting he step down as manager of Mad Dogs FC]].
** It's difficult to tell when ''The Sleepwalker'''s BigBad Hassam Bin Hassam crosses it, although a good guess would be either knowingly selling shoddy parts to the airline, leading to 315 deaths, or murdering his wife to cover it up.
** The Fuhrer crosses it right at the beginning of ''Brigands M.C.'' by murdering Dante's family.
** Dirty Dave from the same book sexually abuses young girls inside his club, and molests Kerry in ''Shadow Wave''.
** [[CorruptPolitician Tan Abdullah]] orders the demolition of Aizat's village to build a hotel and has Aizat and other protestors arrested and tortured.
** Leonid Aramov puts himself firmly over the line in ''People's Republic'' when he forces Ingrid to watch as he tortures Ning before killing her.
** Erasto/Hagar in ''Lone Wolf'' orders Fay's mother and aunt tortured to death in prison.

** Fahim. His father killed his mother and abuses him horribly, and he has no escape. He's given a brief HopeSpot when it looks like he might be able to become a cherub, but because he walks and talks in his sleep, he's disqualified. However, Mac takes him in, which is something at least.

Well if he gets called out on it. Than its not Designated. That and James is more of an Anti Hero.


* DesignatedHero: James sometimes falls into this, though he usually gets called out.
