18->''"Adonis is one of the main characters this thing circles around, but he does have one distressing feature. SILVER HAIR. This means nothing good can come of him. YOU KNOW THE RULE ABOUT SILVER HAIR."''
19-->-- '''Zarla''', ''LetsPlay: Silver Chaos''
20
21In many works, especially anime and video games, white hair quite frequently indicates a villain or, at the very least, someone to watch out for. Especially in characters typically too young to have white hair.
22
23Despite the wide range and use of HairColors for characters, there's an eerie specificity to the use of white/silver hair when coupled with a [[{{Bishonen}} pale, handsome, vaguely-effeminate face]]. It is often combined with FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon and WhiteIsPure in order to cause an uncannily angelic appearance of a demonic being. The ([[LongHairedPrettyBoy usually long]] and rarely tied back) white hair is [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver very frequently coupled]] with {{red eyes|TakeWarning}} and often with a [[EvilWearsBlack dark outfit]] for contrast. Odds are the character is the BigBad, or sometimes TheDragon or otherwise a major villain; {{Mooks}} and minor villains almost never get this treatment.
24
25Even if there is a long, white-haired PrettyBoy on the side of good, almost always, they will be a {{Jerkass}} AntiHero (even though sometimes they will be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold nice inside]]) or the TokenEvilTeammate and/or NominalHero, but almost never a complete NiceGuy. Short white-haired pretty boys or white-haired [[FemalesAreMoreInnocent women]] (regardless of hair length) that are nice is not uncommon, though.
26
27In some settings, this can also be used to identify if the villains are EvilBrit or [[WesternTerrorists people of other Western origins]]. It is also a common trait for a typical Western EvilColonialist.
28
29Compare with LightIsNotGood and WhiteGangBangers. Compare and contrast with someone who has MysticalWhiteHair, who is less likely to be evil and more likely to be magical, superpowered, or otherworldly (although the two can very much interact since the otherworldliness itself is what makes a white-haired villain so unnerving). When an albino phenotype is seen as this and ostracized because of it, it may be AlbinosAreFreaks. AngryWhiteMan is a similar trope but with anger instead of evil being an emphasis, although both can overlap each other.

43[[folder:Asian Animation]]
44* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Starshadow is an AffablyEvil, energetic alien who first appears in Season 11 alongside the far colder Moondance. Initially, Starshadow has red hair, but it's later changed to a blonde pale color.

48* The planeswalker [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=195403 Sorin Markov]] from the Zendikar set of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. [[DarkIsNotEvil He's not evil]], but is quite the AntiHero.

51[[folder:Comic Books]]
52* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
53** Deacon Blackfire, first seen in ''ComicBook/BatmanTheCult'' sport white hair that he keeps in a ponytail. He also, over the course of his debut series, leads a {{cult}}; manages to [[BreakTheBadass break Batman and brainwash him into join his cult]] and even forces Bruce into a HeroicBSoD for a bit after he breaks free of the brainwashing; has his cult kill the mayor and city council and nearly kill Commissioner Gordon; take over Gotham City; and his cult manages to kill members of the National Guard and Delta Force before a recovered Batman stops him.
54** ProfessionalKiller David Cain, father of [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra]], has white hair even in flashbacks to when he was a young man.
55* Ever since the events of ''ComicBook/CurseOfTheMutants'', [[ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula the Marvel version]] of Literature/{{Dracula}} has sported long white hair. This design was later used in the WesternAnimation/{{Marvel Universe|DisneyXD}} shows.
56* [[BigBad Mister Grimm]] in ''ComicBook/FairyQuest'' has a head of white hair, and rules over Fablewood as a dictator, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia mind-wiping]] everyone who deviates from their intended roles in their stories.
57* ''[[Franchise/MonsterVerse Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted]]'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseHumans Raymond Martin]] has white hair to go with his [[GoodScarsEvilScars mean scars]] and his {{sinister shades}}, and he's the main antagonist of the comic; a bloodthirsty monster-killer who terrorizes and attempts to murder Kong's [[VanHelsingHateCrimes most benign and defenceless charges as well as Kong himself]].
58* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': The ''ComicBook/New52'' version of Captain Cold.
59* ComicBook/LadyDeath has long pale-white hair and when first written, she was an OmnicidalManiac that ruled Hell and plotted mankind's extinction so she could return home. Made more poignant by the fact she had [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde hair when she used to be kind and sweet]]. She is less of this trope is later incarnations where she is decidedly more {{antihero}}ic and retains the white hair, although her new nemesis, the Death Queen, plays this completely straight.
60* Thanos the pirate in ''ComicBook/{{Lanfeust}}'' has mid-long white hair. It's unknown if it's part of his genetics because his only known relative, his brother, is bald. As for the "black heart" part, Thanos is a power-hungry sadist and asked someone to [[CainAndAbel kill his own brother]] by boiling his blood.
61* Mekt Ranzz, the villain known as Lightning Lord, from the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, when he's not an EvilRedhead.
62* ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' villain "Tangle" is a serial killer with silvery-white locks who considers murder a fun game and pastime.
63* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'':
64** The Corinthian is white-haired, gay, and good-looking [[RedRightHand when he keeps his sunglasses on]]. He's also a SerialKiller who likes to [[PickyPeopleEater eat eyeballs]] with his own eyeballs. (Also, like [[MysticalWhiteHair Lyta Hall]], he might just be a very pale blond.)
65** Also, Lyta's husband, Hector. Though he's arguably got it even worse than she does since the artists can't even keep his ''age'' straight.
66* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
67** A {{Very Special|Episode}} issue features Skip, who baby-sat a young Peter Parker and molested him. This is either non-canon or a ''major'' case of AngstWhatAngst, as it sure never comes up again. ''[[http://superdickery.com/index.php?view=article&catid=32%3Aseduction-index&id=344%3Aspider-man-learns-a-valuable-lesson&option=com_content&Itemid=24#content Superdickery]]'' insists Skip resembles Uncle Ben. This is all lies -- he honestly resembles an adolescent (and eye-teeth-less) version of [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 the second Corinthian]].
68** The crime boss Mister Negative is the SuperpoweredEvilSide of a black-haired man, who inverts all his colors (including clothing) when the evil self takes over. Hence the white hair.
69* The ''ComicBook/SuperboyNew52'' version of Rose Wilson has beautiful white hair but is an unrepentant ProfessionalKiller and BloodKnight. Pre-''ComicBook/New52'' Rose was initially an aversion, as she was a good guy, and while she did become more vicious after being tortured by her father Deathstroke, she was still a good guy. Deathstroke, on the other hand, is a straighter example of this trope.
70* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': Doomsday of ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' fame is often drawn with long, white hair, though usually only a few strands on his head.
71* ''ComicBook/XMen'''s got Magneto and Quicksilver, though some artists draw Magneto to look like it's old age. He was first introduced in 1963, less than twenty years after the Holocaust ended. To maintain his backstory as a survivor of Auschwitz,[[note]]which [[NewerThanTheyThink didn't become]] a part of his backstory until the '80s[[/note]] some aging is inevitable. However, he's ''not'' actually supposed to look his age -- Between Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}'s [[ComicBookTime sliding timescale]] and the fact that he was reduced to infancy at one point and later re-aged to his prime, Magneto should really look more like Quicksilver's (slightly) older brother than his father.
72** During ''The Trial of Magneto'', we see a flashback of Magneto during his "regressed to infancy" phase. He has white hair.
73** Magneto's ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' incarnation plays the trope much straighter, as he's pure evil with no redeemable or sympathetic traits whatsoever. Oddly, his hair is white here as well even though it's revealed in ''ComicBook/UltimateOrigins'' that he was a young man in the '80s and therefore can't be older than his fifties.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Fan Works]]
77* In the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheGreatRedPandaRescue'', Mei is kidnapped by someone with "snow white hair".
78* Josh from Trigger Happy Fanboy's Pokemon trilogy is one. He didn't start out as a villain, though, and actually aided the protagonists for a while before going his own separate way. While on the light side, he was definitely aloof but by no means antisocial. He even sported a bit of a ShipTease with May until the end of the second part, in which a two-year time skip takes place. When he returns, he's revealed to have gone down a SanitySlippage and gone [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity drunk with power.]] He's also nigh unbeatable and now sports red eyes. And a BadassLongcoat.
79* EvilChancellor [[BigBad Zoisite]] in ''Fanfic/MagnaClades'' is a combination of this trope and MysticalWhiteHair.
80* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Bakura's first appearance is punctuated by the OminousLatinChanting theme from ''Film/TheOmen1976''. There's an especially nice flourish when he's asked what his favourite card is, and he accidentally holds up a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] card.
81* Lexi from ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' decides for his human form -- as he's a book whose pages can turn into a human -- to be based on a fictional character based on Chloe known as the "Specter of the Black Forest" (an {{Expy}} of Specter from ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS''). Unlike his inspiration, Lexi is actually a sweet book...unless the topic is about Grace and Simon who tore him into pieces and buried him within the confines of his car.
82** The Erlking from The Midnight Car has white hair and tries to tempt Chloe to join his band of hunters. When she refuses, he and his hunters start chasing after her.
83* ''Fanfic/AllMixedUp'': Mariana Mag, the BigBad of the story, is described as having strawberry-blonde hair. When she is resurrected in the final chapter and makes a HeelFaceTurn, [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold her hair remains the same color.]]
84* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': Shigaraki has white hair due to albinism and he's definitely one of, if not, THE most evil character in the story. [[spoiler:Luz's hair starts to turn white the more she uses her Quirk, All For One, but she is more of a ruthless AntiHero than a VillainProtagonist]].
85* ''Fanfic/DanganronpaKommSusserTod'': The white-haired Sasuke Akechi is a CardCarryingVillain who antagonizes everyone in the Class Trials and is proud of his career of kidnapping people. [[spoiler:He also turns out to be [[BigBad the mastermind responsible for the Killing Game]]]].
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
89* [[BigBad Preminger]], the EvilChancellor from ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePauper'' either has white hair or wears a white wig.
90* In ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce'', BigBad Nekron's hair and skin are snow white (intentionally, since he is AnIcePerson) and he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
91* Grimmel the Grisly from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld''.
92* Lord Shen, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'', is a peacock with pure white feathers who is responsible for [[spoiler:nearly wiping out the pandas]].
93* Ursula, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', has white hair (and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation purple skin]]).
94* ''Franchise/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'': The left side of Cruella's hair is white while the right side is black. Her heart however is fully black.
95* Cade in ''Animation/SkyBlue'' strenuously resists Shua's attempt to bring down Ecoban to help the Diggers, and tries to keep Jay away from him. It's later revealed that he was originally responsible for Shua's exile. [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath He does get redeemed eventually.]]]]
96* The [[GodSaveUsFromtheQueen Evil Queen]] in her hag form from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarfs''
97[[/folder]]
98
99[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
100%% * Roy from ''Film/BladeRunner''.
101%% * Silas in ''Film/TheDaVinciCode'', played by Paul Bettany (who seems to be making this trope a big part of his repertoire, and doing it well).
102* Gellert Grindelwald, the BigBad of the ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' series, is blond. In middle age, it's bleached blond but it was more of a gold color when he was younger, presumably having changed due to his experiments in dark magic. When the [[ActorSwap character was re-cast]] between the second and third films, the new actor Creator/MadsMikkelsen kept his normal dark blonde hair.
103* ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'': Elven Prince Nuada. Sure, white hair and skin runs in his family, but he's still the villain.
104* ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' has an [[EvilOldFolks older version]] than most in [[BigBad Immortan Joe]]. Long white BarbarianLonghair, and probably the darkest and most brutal of all the ''Mad Max'' villains.
105%% Doesn't explain how he is evil. * ''Film/MarathonMan'': Szell's [[IronicNickname nickname]] is "The White Angel" because of his hair.
106* Dr. Josef Szell of ''Film/MarathonMan'' is a Nazi torturer known as "The White Angel" because of his prematurely white hair. It's such an identifying feature that he resorts to shaving his head as a disguise.
107* ''Film/OuijaMummy'': Natalie's hair turns white when [[spoiler:Ahotep the 1st's spirit takes her over. And Ahotep is a villainous Egyptian spirit who manages to kill most of the cast of the movie]].
108* Cutler Beckett and the rest of the East India Company and Royal Navy in ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', as per historical accuracy, all wear white powdered wigs. This is reinforced by a number of characters coincidentally or intentionally losing their wigs when they align themselves with the protagonists of the series.
109* Kesslee in ''Film/TankGirl''.
110* Mr. Stamper, the sadistic henchman in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', has bleached white hair.
111* Khan Noonien Singh in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. In the original series, he had dark hair, but a combination of 15 years of aging and suffering on a [[DeathWorld desolate planet]] made his hair greyish-white.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Literature]]
115* Kit Smith of the ''Literature/AuntDimity'' series, though of the [[AntiHero anti-heroic variety]] due to his reserve and his issues with his father. Lori describes him as the most beautiful man she had ever seen, with the eyes of a saint and [[DiseaseBleach hair prematurely grey due to stress and illness]]. At times he is [[TheLancer Lori's foil and helper]]. It takes seven years and several books for Nell Harris to finally get him to the altar.
116* UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton is described as this in Creator/NealStephenson's ''Literature/TheBaroqueCycle''. The trope description fits his personality pretty well: he's an aloof, arrogant, AmbiguouslyGay AntiHero who has a vested interest in alchemy and fancies himself a sorcerer.
117%% * The Ghost of Christmas Past in ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'', although it is of AmbiguousGender in the book. In certain film and theatre adaptations, it is portrayed as a girl/woman.
118* Poet of ''Creature Court'' is young, slight, and pale-haired, and while he's not really any worse than most of the other characters, he runs solely on his own agenda [[spoiler: with his [[UndyingLoyalty loyalty]] only to the BigBad Garnet]] and is considered very dangerous. [[spoiler: However, he eventually betrays Garnet and sides with Velody for the final showdown, subverting this trope.]]
119* In Creator/AgathaChristie's ''Literature/{{Curtain}}'', [[spoiler:Stephen Norton]] counts as this, [[spoiler:since he is not only a bird-watcher with a quiet disposition, but he is also a ManipulativeBastard who commits murders-by-proxy, though his hair is grayish-silver.]]
120* From the Literature/{{Deryni}} works by Creator/KatherineKurtz:
121** Rimmell, Duke Jared [=McLain's=] architect in ''Deryni Checkmate'', has his hair turn white overnight when he was a boy, and his family and neighbours blamed a local Deryni woman for it. He falls madly in love with his boss' prospective daughter-in-law, Duke Alaric Morgan's sister Bronwyn, and he goes so far as to obtain magic to woo her despite the difference in their social stations and the fact that she's in love with someone else (her finacé Kevin [=McLain=] Earl of Kierney). This does not end well.
122** Judhael Quinnell, Prince-Bishop of Meara, is said to be in his thirties, yet his hair is prematurely white. He goes along with the plans of his aunt, the Mearan Pretender Caitrin Quinnell, and former Archbishop Loris to further his own ambition to become a bishop. He gets what he wants, but he stands by and allows Loris and Caitrin to condemn the loyal Bishop Henry Istelyn to a grisly death for his loyalty to King Kelson Haldane. He later repents of his ambition and refuses Kelson's offer of clemency to prevent further rounds of Mearan separatist rebellion, going willingly to his own execution at the end of ''The King's Justice''.
123* Raistlin Majere of the ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' books: pretty (the prequel novels mention he was more handsome than his brother as a young man, though YMMV post-transfiguration), cold and antisocial, and an AntiHero at his ''best'' moments.
124* Toot-toot the fairy of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' is white-haired and described as just as inhumanly attractive as all other fae folk. He is, however, a fairy, and his height is between six and twelve inches. While not evil, per se, he is ChaoticNeutral with a very mercenary conscience, who serves the heroes for regular payments of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pizza]].
125%% Weblinks are not examples. * Dark Sun/Daren of the Taiwanese novel Literature/EclipseHunter can be described as this, as shown in [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-omQp1J-1HBQ/ThRvH2EvEcI/AAAAAAAAABs/hcvtWRJuDnQ/s320/1025076762.jpg these]] [[http://kiriyuu69.deviantart.com/art/Eclipse-Hunter-Daren-202623052 illustrations.]]
126%% * Martel in ''Literature/TheElenium'' possesses natural white hair, and is described as having a surprisingly youthful face. He's also [[FallenHero a fallen knight]].
127* The whole trend (at least in Western literature) can be traced more or less directly to [[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric of Melnibone]] as written by Michael Moorcock. Elric is a weakling albino, often described in terms of effeminate beauty, who comes from an ancient line of powerful, cruel, Chaos-allied people. He is granted superhuman prowess in combat by a cursed sentient sword that eats the souls of opponents, and he tends (often through the interference of said sword) to kill his allies and/or lovers with alarming regularity.
128* ''Literature/TheLastStars'': The overseer is described as a young white-haired woman who could be considered beautiful if she wasn't a sadist who enjoyed punishing children for the smallest infractions and killing animals for her own dark delight.
129%% * [[TheVoiceless Cophthera-gn]] from ''Literature/TheFirstDwarfKing'' combines this with LongHairedPrettyBoy...and it's creepy. His UhOhEyes don't help.
130* [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Pollution]] from ''Literature/GoodOmens'' is white-haired, looks to be in his early twenties, and has a creepily chirpy, somewhat seductive personality. The fact that he's one of the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse should be another warning.
131%% * Coriolanus Snow, President of Panem, in ''Literature/TheHungerGames''.
132* The Gentleman with the Thistle-down Hair in ''Literature/JonathanStrangeAndMrNorrell''. Gorgeous, ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, nearly-all powerful, and [[BlueAndOrangeMorality utterly bonkers]] by human standards.
133* Although definitely NOT EVIL, Tonda in Otfried Preussler's novel ''Literature/{{Krabat}}'' has had white hair since half a year before the book starts, as [[spoiler:his girlfriend Worschula was killed by the Master then]]. The grief turned his hair white, so it's rather White=Death than White=Evil.
134** In the movie, his hair is not white from the beginning, as [[spoiler:Worschula]] dies when Krabat already is in the mill, not 6 months ago, as the book states...
135** He's not that good-looking in the movie, but as it takes place in Thirty Years' War...
136* ''Literature/TheLockedTomb: Literature/GideonTheNinth'': Silas Octakiseron is a white-haired sixteen-year-old {{Necromancer}} and a HolierThanThou KnightTemplar. He's openly antagonistic toward the main characters and tries to attack one under parlay.
137* Dr. Joseph Szell of ''Literature/MarathonMan'' is a Nazi torturer who has, since his concentration camp days, been known as "The White Angel" because of his prematurely white hair.
138* Saif, the main villain of ''Literature/TheMentalState'', is a ruthless psychopath with hair like this. Actual quote, ‘The darkness within his soul was hidden beneath a hood of platinum-blonde hair; ghostly white and draped lightly over his shoulders’. His face is also described as being ‘disturbingly perfect’.
139* ''Literature/ModernFaerieTales'' has Roiben, a gorgeous faerie who is damaged and bitter after being forced to serve as an errand boy for the Unseelie Queen and perform horrific acts for her amusement. He falls into antihero territory, however, since those acts were magically compelled and he remains good at heart.
140* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'':
141** Valentine Morgenstern is white-blond and, oh, ''aims to wipe out all Downworlders''.
142** [[spoiler:Sebastian[=/=]Jonathan Morgenstern]] is white-haired and just as evil as his dad.
143* ''Literature/MrsSmithsSpySchoolForGirlsDoubleCross'': When [[TheProtagonist Abby]] meets [[BigBad The Ghost]] for the first time, she notices that he has white hair.
144* Ariel from ''Literature/TheObernewtynChronicles'' book series by Isobelle Carmody is a classic example, being described as angelic in looks and satanic in temperament.
145* Mordred in T.H. White's ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'', "so fair-haired that he was almost an albino." He is, at first, merely self-pitying and creepy in a give-the-poor-kid-a-break way, but ultimately turns evil.
146* Col's white hair in ''Literature/TheOutcasts'' gets him exiled from the village as the village believes it to be a sign that he's actually evil. He's not.
147* The main antagonist of ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall's'' first two and a half books is Joren of Stone Mountain, who's described as having almost feminine good looks and having white-blond hair that he wears loose when not training. He's rotten to the core, an underhanded bully and so misogynistic that [[spoiler:he abducts Kel's maid in an attempt to disgrace her or make her fail the page exams]], and later talks similarly-minded knights into repeatedly challenging her in tourneys, one of whom actually tries to kill her.
148* ''Literature/RaceToTheSun'': [[BigBad Mr Charles]] has hair so blonde that it almost looks silver -- and he is a shape-shifting, man-eating monster.
149%% * Daniel, from ''Literature/{{Relativity}}.'' He's the head [[spoiler:vampire]]'s right-hand man.
150* ''Literature/ShadesOfMagic'': The Dane twins are the sadistic {{Sorcerous Overlord}}s of White London and the [[spoiler:BigBadDuumvirate of the first book]]. They have chalk-white hair; their skin is ghostly pale with TaintedVeins from using BlackMagic; and they wear all-white uniforms for an extra-stark AsceticAesthetic.
151* Raith from ''Literature/TheShatteredSea'' is a young warrior with white hair and while not necessarily handsome, is something of an accidental chick magnet. He's introduced as a vicious, dishonorable warrior with a HairTriggerTemper, who will follow any order, no matter how immoral. However, over time, he ends up as a sympathetic figure due to his traumatic DarkAndTroubledPast and desire to atone.
152* [[RoyallyScrewedUp House Targaryen]] from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is a whole family of these, with purple eyes as well. How? BrotherSisterIncest. Although the nastiest ones have less of the pretty boy part of this trope, and the one who best fits it is Rhaegar, who is...let's just say morally ambiguous, for now. And ''he'' didn't marry his sister -- admittedly because she wasn't born yet, but still. Dany (the aforementioned sister) fits [[MysticalWhiteHair White-Haired Pretty Girl]] beautifully. Her brother Viserys, however, is a clear-cut example, but he is more [[EvilIsPetty petty]] and pathetic to be really threatening.
153* R.L. Stine evokes this with the character Bill Jeffers, a.k.a. ''Snowman'', in the book of the same name. Bill is described as being tall and white-haired with black eyes and is extremely attractive to most women he meets. He's also a murderer who doesn't have much regret for what he did. His father, however, DID bring it onto himself by beating his son and physically abusing him until the kid snapped. Whether he's evil or not depends greatly on who you ask in the fandom and how much sympathy you have for abuse victims.
154* Downplayed with Myr of the North from ''Literature/TalesFromNetheredge'' -- a powerful mage with both MysticalWhiteHair and a sadistic streak, who never lets his cruelty get out of hand and is firmly on the side of good.
155%% * Celegorm the Fair in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''
156* White Mike, the drug-dealing antihero in the book ''Twelve''.
157* The Hawkbrother mages in ''Valdemar'' fall into this trope -- most notably [[AgentPeacock Firesong]], though they subvert it by being generally honest and decent people; they tend to have white hair because the magical forces they call upon bleach the color out.
158* ''Literature/VillainsByNecessity'': Mizzamir. Though on the surface he is a kindly elven mage, he's also got no problem with brainwashing villains into becoming good. [[spoiler:Also it's eventually revealed he once committed rape and confused the victim's mind so she couldn't tell anyone, to protect his good name and reputation.]]
159* ''Literature/TheZodiacSeries'': The BigBad is described as having silver hair in his human disguise, which carries over into his true form.
160[[/folder]]
161
162[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
163%% * China White from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
164%% ** And from Season 4 Damien Darkh.
165* Terry Silver in ''Series/CobraKai'' lives up to his name, as his hair has gone white in the time since the movies. He's good at putting on an [[VillainWithGoodPublicity innocent appearance]], but he's even more ruthless than Kreese when it comes to spreading the Cobra Kai philosophy and the feud with Miyagi-do.
166* Datak Tarr from ''Series/{{Defiance}}'', he is a Castithan a race of white hair and white-skinned humanoids, and Datak is one nasty snake in the grass, he is willing to use any means to achieve his goal, and killing people is an acceptable option.
167* ''Series/EerieIndiana'': Dash X, Marshall's mysterious ArchEnemy, is a teenage boy with gray hair to make him look sinister.
168* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
169** Viserys Targaryen has white hair and is a total {{jerkass}} and crappy person -- at least toward the end.
170** [[spoiler:In the final season, his sister Daenerys Targaryen becomes DrunkWithPower and torches King's Landing to the ground. At the height of her megalomania, she declares she's going to TakeOverTheWorld.]]
171** In ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon''', there is King Viserys the II, who has white hair and is a SerialRapist who has a lot of bastard children forced to live under inhuman conditions in the Fighting Pits from King's Landing.
172* In ''Series/GoodOmens2019'', Pollution, the Third [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Horseperson of the Apocalypse]], as in the book, going with their theme as the [[ColorCodedCharacters White Rider]]. They are [[DissonantSerenity eerily serene]] and enjoy the thought of ravaged countryside and horrific toxins.
173* ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' has the Greeed [[PantheraAwesome Kazari]] take on a human form, which is that of a white-haired {{Bishonen}}. He's the most cunning of the four villainous Greeed, and arguably the most dangerous, [[spoiler:since his plots [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder result in the destruction of two of the others.]]]]
174* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': The Dweller has {{Boyish Short|Hair}} MysticalWhiteHair, is a wielder of powerful magic, and a follower of [[DarkLord Sauron]].
175* The live-action ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'' series gave ''Zoisite'' white hair. Though, while he is still one of the four generals of the Dark Kingdom, he is also [[spoiler:the one to remember his past life and his loyalty to Endymion, and the past tragedy; he even goes so far as to briefly team up with Minako to try and keep Usagi and Mamoru separated]].
176* The main enemy race from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', the Wraith, have long white hair as one of their most characteristic characteristics.
177* In ''Series/TwinPeaks'', one of the more obvious signs that [[spoiler:Leland Palmer]] is [[DemonicPossession possessed]] is that his hair turns white overnight. The demon possessing him has grey hair.
178[[/folder]]
179
180[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
181* ''Literature/TheBible'' says that Satan can 'transform himself into an angel of light'; usually when he in this mode, he's depicted with silvery hair.
182[[/folder]]
183
184[[folder:Pinballs]]
185* The EvilSorceror in ''Pinball/FlashDragon'' has a head full of thick, white hair.
186[[/folder]]
187
188[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
189* The Drow in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' games are a ''race'' of sly, scheming, AlwaysChaoticEvil white-haired, red-eyed (albeit black-skinned) pretty boys and girls. The males tend to be underhanded, effeminate blackguards, while women tend to be devout priestesses of a ReligionOfEvil. One issue of the late ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} Magazine'' gave us the drow demideity Keptolo.
190* Seltyiel, the iconic [[MagicKnight magus]] from ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', a JerkassWoobie who [[TheDogBitesBack turned to evil after a childhood of brutal abuse]]. Also something of a CaptainErsatz of [[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric of Melniboné]].
191* In ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'', the darklord of Nova Vassa, ReasonableAuthorityFigure Tristen Hiregaard's SuperpoweredEvilSide-cum-DiabolicalMastermind serial killer Malken, is a lot like this (Tristen's normally raven-haired appearance changes when Malken takes control).
192* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
193** The Primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion, Fulgrim, had white hair and was said to be one of the best-looking primarchs. [[SubvertedTrope He also was a genuinely nice guy if a little eccentric.]] [[DoubleSubversion Until he fell to Chaos...]]
194** This is actually quite endemic in ''Warhammer''. Rogal Dorn also was white-haired (but not effeminately pretty) and Lion El'Jonson tends to get depicted this way, even though he's blond.
195** Also, quite a number of Space Marines also have white hair (Dante of the Blood Angels, Leodegarius of the Grey Knights...), but, there, it is not clear if it is natural or a result of their geneseed.
196** Lucius the Eternal, like his Primarch Fulgrim, is often depicted with white hair and is canonically stated to have been "truly handsome". That is until a sparring match left him with a poorly set broken nose; [[MinorInjuryOverreaction his reaction to this disfigurement started a chain of obsession]] [[CombatSadomasochist that ended in sadomasochistic ritualistic scarring all over his body]]. And that was mostly ''before'' he became a champion for the God of {{Squick}}.
197** Dark Eldar Mandrakes are typically painted as shadowy figures with stark white hair. Even other Dark Eldar are a little weirded out by them.
198[[/folder]]
199
200[[folder:Theater]]
201* Death from ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}''. He's usually silver-haired or light blond, and even the kindest iteration ([[Creator/TakarazukaRevue Sena Jun]], for example) still doesn't have any idea how humans function. His job is to kill people, ''eternally'', after all. He also usually fits the Bishounen criteria, being OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous, having been played both by actors (example: Uwe Kröger) and actresses (a plethora of Takarazuka ladies).
202* Herbert von Krolock of ''Theatre/TanzDerVampire'' fits this trope to a T. Even when he's played more on the goofy and lovestruck end of the scale, he's still a literally bloodthirsty vampire.
203* Commander Khashoggi, the chief of Globalsoft’s Secret Police and second in command to Killer Queen in ‘’Theatre/WeWillRockYou’’ is almost always shown to have white hair.
204[[/folder]]
205
206[[folder:Video Games]]
207* Akechi Mitsuhide of ''VideoGame/AkaSeka'' is a military advisor who's out and proud about his sadism, always chooses the most violent options for battles and confrontations, [[FetishizedAbuser isn't much nicer to the heroine]] [[{{Yandere}} if she decides to romance him]], and has a darkly sensual air plus long silky white hair to suit.
208* Lieselotte of ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' combines this with ElegantGothicLolita and RedEyesTakeWarning to make one CreepyChild.
209%% * [[spoiler:Ayatane]] in ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoMelodyOfElemia'', whose evil status is complicated, but does definitely spend at least a portion of the plot being on the opposing side.
210%% * Solus, TheDragon from ''VideoGame/{{Breakdown}}''.
211* Fou-Lu from ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV''. Cranked up to 11 in the manga, and overtly embraced [[spoiler:when Ryu confronts Fou-lu in the throne room for the first time. Not since Hotohori in ''Fushigi Yuugi'' has any man looked that pretty in formal imperial court dress]]. And yes, the more Fou-lu gets overtly shoved to being a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, the prettier he gets.
212* Derby Harrington, leader of the Preps in ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}''. While short-haired, he is decidedly handsome, evil, and a [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney rich bastard]].
213* Soma Cruz from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' is normally a subversion. [[spoiler:Kill [[LoveInterests Mina]] in front of him though, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide well]]…]]
214* Karsh from ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' looks like one of these at first glance, being the first humanoid boss you fight (not counting [[GoldfishPoopGang Solt and Peppor]], who fight alongside him), along with having the standard silver hair. However, he's not evil, just efficient at his job [[spoiler:(and ashamed of having to kill his BrainwashedAndCrazy best friend)]], and later, he joins the party.
215* Christie from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' is a [[EvilBrit British woman]] with white hair and one of the most vile characters within the franchise. A ruthless assassin, Christie [[PsychoForHire takes cruel pleasure in her job]] and was responsible for the death of the mother of Helena during an Opera showing. Think that isn't bad enough? How about the fact that ''Helena'' was the target, not her mother, and when Helena reacted with shock and despair upon finding this out, Christie laughed in her face.
216* Vergil of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' is a classic example, and is the AloofBigBrother to heroic white-haired half-demon Dante. [[spoiler:Though it's ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] both by ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' having him undergo a HeelFaceTurn and by the fact that leans much closer to being an AntiVillain in the grand scheme of things.]]
217%% * Naoya from ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'' is an example of this trope, combined with RedEyesTakeWarning. He's also one of the few characters in the game who does ''not'' invoke CurtainsMatchTheWindow.
218%% ** His {{expy}} Yamato from the second game has this look, but his {{Jerkass}} personality prevents many in-universe from appreciating it. The Anguished One looks like this as well, to the point fans consider him an {{expy}} of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Kaworu]].
219* ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'': Fenrich is the most morally dubious member of the party. Naturally, he also has white hair.
220* Fenris from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' -- his hair probably got that way he had magic tattoos made of lyrium burned into his skin. He's merciless to his enemies (who, to be fair, are trying to recapture him for the EvilSorcerer who branded him in the first place), and his attitude towards mages varies from justified wariness to outright hostility. He mainly wants to be left in peace (and take out the occasional band of slavers).
221* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Psaro the Manslayer has flowing white hair and evil ambitions in mind. That being said, his motives are understandable despite his antagonistic nature, and he treats all creatures that aren't humans well.
222* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
223** Vaermina, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of Nightmares, is sometimes depicted with white hair. She is perhaps second only to [[GodOfEvil Molag Bal]] himself in terms of her malevolence toward mortals.
224** Series recurring villain Mannimarco, the "King of Worms" [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]][=/=]{{Necromancer}}, is frequently depicted with long white hair. He's especially good-looking in the ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'' "Siege" trailer and he's not that bad looking in-game.
225* ''VideoGame/EmeraldDragon'' has Ostracon. He's a human with long, white hair that willingly joined the demons for power, and quickly became [[TheDragon their top general]]. Most of the evil committed by the demon by him is done by him, whether directly or by his command, and he has no guilt over it.
226* In ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'', this trope is invoked by Ibara, who deliberately sets up the [[LongHairedPrettyBoy white-maned]] and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] Nagisa as a sadistic dictator-type character for the stage. In reality, he's more like a passive EmotionlessBoy, though over time [[BecomingTheMask some of that dominating behaviour makes its way into his normal personality]].
227* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
228** Setzer of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' is a rebellious, elitist, white-haired gambler who kidnaps Celes, but inevitably joins the party.
229** Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has waist-length silvery hair, and is the [[FountainOfExpies cloth from which many of these examples were cut]].
230** Yazoo, Loz, and most notably Kadaj from the sequel film ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', who are brothers from the same "mother" as Sephiroth. Official materials even name them collectively as "The Silver-Haired Men".
231** Weiss, the antagonist from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII: VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus''. His name, appropriately enough, is German for "white".
232** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' brings us Kuja, who is [[ViewerGenderConfusion ten times prettier than Sephiroth]]. He's referred to several times in-game as a "[[ItsAllAboutMe narcissist]]", which is a rather mild description for someone who ''[[http://thelifestream.net/wp-content/uploads/dissidia_artwork_kuja.png dresses like this]]''. Oh, and [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum refuses to let reality exist without him]].
233** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' has Baralai. In an optional cutscene, Seymour (the most developed villain of the last game) agrees to take him under his wing after the latter convinces him to and hints at the power struggle between the maesters. He also fights the party at one point [[spoiler:and goes onto the Farplane to activate a giant superweapon that could be used to destroy the world]]. He’s actually a subversion, as the incident with the party was a simple misunderstanding [[spoiler:and he gets possessed by the BigBad near the end, so the whole “activating the giant superweapon” thing isn’t really his fault]].
234** Rolan of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyThe4HeroesOfLight'' is a FallenHero with silver hair. His heart has ''literally'' been filled with darkness. [[spoiler:When the heroes accidentally pull the stopper out, it floods the entire world.]]
235* Gregorio III from ''VideoGame/GitarooMan'', complete with heterochromia and creepy intro. Also considered to be ThatOneBoss sometimes.
236* In the girl version of ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon DS'', there is a white-haired phantom thief named Skye that you can marry. Particular emphasis on the "effeminate pretty boy" bit.
237* [[BlackKnight Dhar]] and [[HiredGuns Ren]] in ''VideoGame/{{Indivisible}}'' are both prematurely gray and morally questionable.
238* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
239** Riku, the famous RivalTurnedEvil of the first game, although he averts this trope in later games.
240** [[BigBad Xehanort]] and his [[LiteralSplitPersonality later selves]] Ansem and Xemnas. Notably, they avert the rule of "being AmbiguouslyBrown negates the evil of white hair". By the time of the games' events, Master Xehanort [[OldMaster has reached the age]] of having a BaldOfEvil, with only a BeardOfEvil showing his hair color; in his youth, he had a [[{{Bishonen}} lovely head of silver locks]]. Certain characters influenced by Xehanort also temporarily sport silver hair: [[spoiler:Terra when [[GrandTheftMe hosting the old man's heart]], and Aqua when corrupted by Ansem in the Realm of Darkness.]]
241** Sephiroth himself appears as a {{Superboss}} in the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI first two]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII numbered titles]].
242* [[KnightTemplar Orochi]] from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters '97'', although he takes this form just for the purpose of manifesting in the real world ([[NoBiologicalSex "his"]] true form is implied to be ''the'' [[{{Orochi}} Yamata no Orochi]], and thus considerably fuglier).
243** The same applies to Yashiro, one of Orochi's Four Heavenly Kings, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide when in Orochi mode]].
244** Magaki, end boss of ''XI'', also fits the trope when he first appears to the player, but he subverts it, as his true form is a lanky, bug-eyed, pink...thing who shambles about, and his body is racked with muscle spasms. Not actually pretty at all. He still keeps the white hair, though.
245** And then [[AntiHero there's]] [[ReplacementScrappy K']], albeit only in his debut. However, [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap even after]] [[CharacterDevelopment being fleshed out]] in ''2000'' and beyond does he remain TheStoic.
246* The titular VillainProtagonist from ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain''. While his ultimate goal is to bring the world back into balance, Kain is a world-conquering vampire who will go to any lengths to ensure that he'll be the one on top when he succeeds. [[spoiler:Bonus points for actually having a "black heart", the Heart of Darkness, until it gets ripped out of his chest.]]
247* Lloyd from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon''. He spends most of the game being a huge thorn in the party's side, from beating the pants off of the protagonist in an arena fight to plotting to destroy the world, [[spoiler:only to do a HeelFaceTurn at the last second, making way for the REAL BigBad.]]
248** Then again, [[spoiler:like the Drow example above, Lloyd belongs to a race of White-Haired Pretty People, who, given their history, are not exactly known for being the nicest folks around.]]
249* [[spoiler:[[EvilPrince Prince]] Cort]] from ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia'' has silver hair, and true to this trope, serves as the game's BigBad.
250* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' gives us Ghirahim, an androgynous, sadistic entity that torments Link throughout the game, switching between calm and collected and bombastically violent outbursts very rapidly. [[spoiler:His androgynous nature is a produce of his creation, as like Fi he is a technically genderless AnthropomorphicPersonification of Demise's sword.]]
251* ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' has [[spoiler:Ghaleon]], who is a walking example of a lot of villain tropes.
252* Solo from ''VideoGame/MegamanStarForce'' has white hair paired with both {{red eyes|Take Warning}} and a dark outfit, and also has tanned skin. He begins the second game on the side of the villains, then later on and in the following game becomes a proper AntiHero, saving the protagonist or teaming up with him on different occasions. Anyway, his {{Jerkass}} attitude comes from [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer being constantly abused]] as a child for his unusual appearance and abilities, deep down he seems to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not be as bad as he wants everyone to believe.]]
253* ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''
254** Monsoon is the only villain to have white hair, is tall and slender compared to the other male villains, and presents as a misanthropic nihilist who grew up under the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, where he claims to have developed his views on humanity.
255** In a similar vein, Raiden could qualify when in "Ripper mode", when his vicious personality that delights in bloodshed comes out ('Jack the Ripper'), making his attacks stronger and more brutal, enabling the player to hack through even armoured enemies with ease.
256* In ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'', [[BigBad Sauron]] appears as a handsome, white-haired elf in his role as Annatar, "Lord of Gifts." (In the [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings books]], his appearance is "fair" but his hair color isn't specified).
257* The eponymous main character in ''VideoGame/{{NieR}} Replicant'' is initially a sunny and optimistic teenager (though the short stories in ''Grimoire [=NieR=]'' reveal he is more of a StepfordSmiler), but after hitting the DespairEventHorizon at the end of the game's first half he becomes unhinged, psychotic and murderous, though his interactions with his TrueCompanions reveal that there is still a good person underneath. This still applies to the father version of the character in ''[=NieR=] Gestalt'' post-timeskip though it's much more subtle compared to big-brother Nier who undergoes a much more radical change.
258* ''VideoGame/NinetyNineSpirits'' walks the razor edge of this trope -- specifically, every character with SILVERY-white hair is evil, but characters with PURE-white hair are good. To the point where one normally white-haired character turns silver-haired when switching to his SuperpoweredEvilSide.
259%% * The fiend Alexei from ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden 2''.
260* Simeon from ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'' has silver hair and extremely sadistic. He takes advantage of Primrose's former crush on him just so he can later gloat about how miserable she is, he openly brags about how he's the one who killed her father, and he mocks Primrose further by writing a play based on her life and ending it with the characters based on them hooking up.
261* Claude from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'' is also a massive sadist who [[ImmortalityPromiscuity fathered "countless" children over his long life]] and let them all kill each other off, just so the "best" one could either [[spoiler:kill him or become Vide's new vessel]]. It says something that both Throné and [[spoiler:Ori]] are [[EveryoneHasStandards completely disgusted]] by him.
262* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji|2016}}'' has Abe no Seimei, whose long snow-white hair doesn't hide a black heart but when it comes to the {{yokai}} it varies a lot: the {{shinigami}} Kurodōji is [[CuteAndPsycho a cute young boy with one too many screws loose]], his older brother Shiromujō is polite and gentlemanly, the {{oni}} Yōkinshi is an arrogant asshole but very refined, while the [[AsianFoxSpirit kitsune]] Yōko is refined (or perhaps he just wants us to think that) while in reality he kidnaps children and is implied that he rapes them.
263* [[spoiler:Aizel]] from ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}''. In his case, he has a bad case of the possessed by the spirit of evil. [[spoiler:His brother, Shalga, has it as well, but he's only a HeroWithBadPublicity.]]
264* ''VideoGame/{{Otomedius}}'': L.B. Gofer fits the mold as a humanoid Bacterian with silver hair and is primarily the petty, childish, and cruel sort of evil. In the same series, there's [[PersonOfMassDestruction Dark Force]]; though her hair is more white than silver, she is no less evil than the Gofer sisters.
265* Reve from ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarZero''. He doesn't have red eyes but has a red visor over them [[spoiler:until his HeelFaceTurn]]. He's a jerk and a real pain.
266* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
267** ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' has Nascour, this being one of several hints to the fact that [[ObviouslyEvil he's evil]]. The protagonist Wes also has white hair, but he's an AntiHero Pokémon thief.
268** Darkrai resembles a white-haired {{bishonen}} in Pokémon form, and causes never-ending nightmares to the people around it. Although everything about its design and powers evokes an anime or JRPG villain, and many of its appearances play this straight, it is not always evil, and actually was the hero of ''Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai''. This carried over to the games starting from ''VideoGame/PokemonPlatinum'', where the Pokédex claims it means no harm, and that its nightmares are merely a defense mechanism. In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers'', on the other hand...
269* ''VideoGame/PurgatoryRPGMaker'': Downplayed with Emma. She has silver hair and, in the original game, is a ManipulativeBitch who treats her "friend" Enri as a tool to do whatever she wants, and is pretty mean to Oliver and Lukas as well. But she never does anything flat-out evil, and [[spoiler:in the sequel, it turns out she TookALevelInKindness]].
270* Schezo Wegey from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' initially plays it straight in his debut game, ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari II''. He's a dark wizard who wants to steal Arle's power for himself, even if it means killing her to get what he wants. After that, he subverts it, ascending to being a playable protagonist in the more recent installments.
271* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' has [[spoiler:BigBad Micah Bell, a former member of the Van der Linde gang who blond hair. By the end of the epilogue, you can see that Micah's hair has grayed out or become white due to him aging in the frozen mountains.]]
272* Hyo Imawano from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'', who goes from main villain, to willing ally, to possessed villain, [[spoiler:to dead,]] all in the span of two games.
273* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' has '''four''' of these. First, there's AxCrazy Akechi Mitsuhide, then EvilGenius Takenaka Hanbe, FallenAngel Ishida Mitsunari, and now, VainSorceress Kyogoku Maria.
274** There's also [[{{Pirate}} Chosokabe Motochika]], who subverts the trope by being a really NiceGuy, and a {{Hunk}} at that, who is portrayed quite positively.
275* In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'', one of the things that changes about [[spoiler:Chiaki after she merges with Gozu-Tennoh]] is her hair, which changes to a piercing white color. This along with her RedRightHand is proof that [[spoiler:her Reason has taken her over the deep end and she's gone completely insane.]]
276* Ramirez from ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'', who is also TheDragon for Galcian [[spoiler:and the FinalBoss]]. Galcian is also white-haired but is not quite as pretty as his subordinate.
277** Faina is another white-haired enemy, though at least she [[spoiler:has a HeelFaceTurn]].
278* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'''s Dr. Eggman Nega has a white 'stache to contrast the original Eggman's reddish-brown and is far more monstrous than his counterpart.
279* ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'' invokes this trope for a woman. After her FaceHeelTurn, [[spoiler:Lady Sialeeds]] stops [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange dyeing her hair]], revealing the fact that it was white all along just in time for you to fight her for the first time. Given that she doesn't pick up any of the connotations of the [[MysticalWhiteHair White-Haired Pretty Girl]], while picking up this trope's penchant for antagonism, she probably fits here more than there.
280* Dist "the Rose" from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' -- evil, effeminate MadScientist. Alright, maybe not ''that'' pretty, what with that loony perma-grin, but he otherwise fits the trope to a tee.
281* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'''s Duke is a {{subver|tedTrope}}sion. He's menacing as all hell, enormously powerful, and even the final boss, but he's not even a true villain; he just wants to protect the world from the dangers of Blastia.
282%% ** [[spoiler:Alexei]] is one, too. In fact, if he grew his hair longer, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
283* [[CouncilOfAngels White Spirits (or Angels)]] from ''VisualNovel/TearsToTiara'' are a bunch of AxCrazy perfectionists. Only 2 of 13 of them were exceptions.
284* Gustadolph, Erika, and Thalas from ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy'' all qualify. Gustadolph is the main antagonist for most of the game, invading Glenbrook on false pretenses (he claims they killed his cousin Dragan, when in reality ''he'' was behind that) just so he can take over the new mine, [[spoiler:which Dragan discovered contained the extremely-valuable for the time salt]]. He then [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe forces Cordelia to marry him]] to legitimize his rule, and he intends to move on to Hyzante next. Erika and Thalas are more [[EvilIsPetty incredibly petty]], but they're both highly unpleasant and constantly bully their half-sister [[RoseHairedSweetie Frederica]] (who is ''much'' more pleasant than any of her immediate relatives).
285* ''VideoGame/UncommonTime'' inverts this with Aubrey and Altair, who have MysticalWhiteHair but are probably the nicest characters in the cast.
286%%* Selvaria Bles is presented as such in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' from the POV of the Gallian forces.
287%% * Wylfred from ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfileCovenantOfThePlume''. Whether he becomes a villain [[MultipleEndings depends]], though.
288* Arthas from ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. In ''Warcraft III'', he was initially blond, at which point he was morally clueless, and also pretty clueless in general, [[WellIntentionedExtremist but largely seemed to mean well]]. His hair immediately and abruptly went white shortly after he took up Frostmourne and became a Death Knight, which is also the exact moment at which he progressed from "well-meaning extremist" status to being clearly and unambiguously capital-E Evil.
289** Likewise, his girlfriend Jaina, though on a minor scale. In ''III'' and the majority of ''[=WoW=]'', she is blond and morally straight, promoting peace between the Alliance and the Horde. Then [[BreakTheCutie the bombing of Theramore happened]], and her hair is bleached into white majorly and she got fed up enough to abandon any notions of peace, becomes a bitter warmongering woman that wants the Horde destroyed so they pay for the destruction of Theramore. At any rate, peace-loving Jaina is gone by then. Which makes Kalegcos' warning that she's nearly becoming like Arthas... a bit ironically true.
290* ''VideoGame/WildArms2'' includes a white-haired bishonen who, amazingly enough, ''isn't evil''. He acts as MissionControl for the HeroesRUs organization that the PlayerCharacter is a part of. [[spoiler:Oh wait, he's the boss of the ''villains'' too, and it turns out this a XanatosGambit to mobilize the world against a cosmic threat. A good goal, but he was ruthless in pursuing it.]]
291%%** ''VideoGame/WildArms3'' has Jet Enduro. While he may be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he's also one of the four playable characters and a hero.
292* Joshua from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is not only pretty and has white hair, but he's also the one who almost UNDOES Neku's CharacterDevelopment from week one with his prissy and mysterious behaviour, and finally turns out to be [[spoiler:Neku's killer (twice), [[PhysicalGod the Composer]], and the one who wanted to destroy Shibuya in the first place]]. However, he ends up showing "mercy." All this while spouting cryptic "deep" sayings, and being mysterious and ostensibly metrosexual (he teases and hits on Neku often, and good number of the items that give him special abilities are womanly in nature).
293* Jin from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' is the leader of the terrorist organisation Torna and [[FantasticRacism seeks to kill all humans on Alrest]] before [[KillTheGod slaying The Architect himself]]. He fits this pretty well, with his whole appearance looking like an off-brand Sephiroth. [[spoiler:Subverted when revealed this was due to going over the DespairEventHorizon when he was forced to become a [[IAmAHumanitarian Flesh-Eater Blade]] by killing the woman he loved as she lay dying from a genocide of old Tornans 500 years before the beginning of the game, and being manipulated by [[TheAntiChrist the Aegis]] [[BigBad Malos]]. The DLC campaign ''Torna: The Golden Country'' explores this period of Jin's life during the Aegis War, showing a gradual [[FaceHeelTurn turn to the dark side]].]]
294* Wilhelm in ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' is an example of this trope, and chaos (no capitalization) is an example of how dark-skinned white-haired guys are exempt. Albedo is another example from the same game.
295[[/folder]]
296
297[[folder:Visual Novels]]
298* Sho Reilen from ''VisualNovel/CrimsonRafflesia'' is a less common CuteAndPsycho female example, complete with RedEyesTakeWarning.
299* Taichi in ''VisualNovel/CrossChannel'' is a [[{{Bishonen}} somewhat androgynous]] white-haired teen and the hero of the story. Unless he has one of his psychotic episodes and kills everyone. And snapping and killing everyone isn't just confined to bad ends, either. Nope, the journal logs reference them, and [[spoiler:one of the very last endings involves Taichi killing Youko to defend everyone in what is probably a very brutal manner, causing everyone to freak, and then he kills them.]] His hair is often commented upon. Oddly enough, he actually has something of a complex, where he is convinced that he is incredibly ugly.
300* [[spoiler:Nagito Komaeda]] from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair''. [[spoiler:In the first trial you find out that he was planning to be the catalyst that started the killing game. In a way, he was. Even more so when you discover that he was a member of Ultimate Despair.]]
301* Clear from ''VisualNovel/DramaticalMurder'' [[spoiler:is ''not'' this trope (except in his bad ending), but his android duplicates are]].
302* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'':
303** Archer is an interesting [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. At first glance, he appears to be a relatively straight example of this trope; his moods more or less range from "DeadpanSnarker" to "complete {{Jerkass}}," and he's absurdly cold to the protagonist whenever he's not actively trying to murder him for unexplained reasons. Then, in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route, it's finally revealed what, exactly, Archer's deal is: [[spoiler:he's a [[FutureBadass future version]] of the protagonist who has, to put it bluntly, gone through '''[[TraumaCongaLine hell.]]''' He's not trying to kill Shirou out of any real evil motives; he's ''attempting suicide.'' He's still, at heart, the same fundamentally good person as Shirou is, he's just been so scarred by so much trauma as to make him more or less unrecognizable until Rin's influence and his fight/debate with Shirou pull that side back out of him.]] These revelations make him come off less as a villain and more as a [[TragicHero tragic]] AntiHero, in the broader scheme of his actions.
304** After her SuperpoweredEvilSide takes over, [[spoiler:Sakura]]'s hair turns white. [[spoiler:It returns to purple once she's freed]].
305** And then there's [[EnfantTerrible Ilya]], who casually has her Servant kill the competition in general, including Masters who have already lost. Specifically, [[spoiler:venting her daddy issues on]] the hero, [[spoiler:her father's adopted son, believing him to be the reason daddy never came back for her. In two out of three [[MultipleEndings storylines]], however, she ends up joining forces with him by the end. And if her claims in the omake are to be believed, she was originally intended to have her own storyline, but it was absorbed into Sakura's instead.]]
306** The von Einzberns, Ilya's family (composed entirely of white-haired homunculi like herself), are a collective example, as they molded Ilya into the little monster she is when she first appears by [[spoiler:preventing Kiritsugu from ever seeing her again, then telling her that he'd abandoned her for Shirou]], nurturing her desire for revenge and cruel streak so that she would ruthlessly eliminate the competition in the Grail War. That being said, most individual members of the family who appear onscreen have some redeeming qualities. Irisviel in ''Literature/FateZero'' is one of the ''nicest'' characters. Also, the ''[[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks Unlimited Blade Works]]'' TV series shifts much of the blame for Ilya's twisted upbringing onto the Grail itself, which hijacks Irisviel's form to manifest before Ilya and tell her lies.
307* Mitsuhide from ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'' practically has a neon sign hanging around his neck that says "DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY" with his perpetual PsychoticSmirk, [[TheGadfly regular teasing and mocking]] of his supposed allies [[ItAmusedMe just for his amusement]], constant refusal to explain to the other characters what exactly he gets up to when he's alone, and rumors frequently circulating in town about him plotting to backstab his lord Nobunaga. [[spoiler:However, he's ultimately a subversion of this trope -- he's genuinely devoted to Nobunaga and every time it looks like he betrayed him, it's actually him being a FakeDefector to get information on their enemies and/or lure them into a trap by pretending to be on their side.]]
308** Motonari Mouri, a CanonImmigrant from the game's stage adaptation, has white hair too and is described in his character profile as a "black-hearted pirate" who just wants to see the world burn.
309* King Togami of ''Videogame/LongLiveTheQueen'' is a court musician turned king who leads an expansionist campaign against several kingdoms in search of their Lumen powers. He challenges Elodie to a WizardDuel and there are several ways to placate him, some of them (like [[spoiler:killing your own father and becoming his minion]]) are far more sinister than others.
310* ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger'': Averted with Zen, but played straight with Unknown/[[spoiler:Saeran]]. Ironically, Zen is the one with natural white hair whereas Unknown's white hair turns out to be a dye job.
311* Justified with Wu Zixu from ''VisualNovel/MyVowToMyLiege'', whose hair [[DiseaseBleach turned white in his youth]] from trauma. Surviving [[FamilyExtermination the execution of his entire family]] left him cynical, embittered, and ruthless enough to stage a coup in a foreign kingdom in order to gain the power he needed to [[DisproportionateRetribution invade his own homeland in revenge.]] However, despite his {{Jerkass}} tendencies, [[SubvertedTrope he does actually care deeply for the protagonist]], [[ToughLove even if he has questionable ways of showing it.]]
312* Santa from ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' is one of the shadier members of the cast even before [[spoiler:you learn that he's been working with the mastermind Zero in kidnapping people to participate in a deadly game]]. He's a more sympathetic example than most others on this page, though.
313* Godot from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'', moreover, [[spoiler:it is the incident that got him white hair that made him turn to the dark side.]] His true identity is unknown through most of the game, he remains the most obviously mysterious prosecutor in the series, prone to belligerent outbursts when upsets, [[spoiler:and is ultimately a murderer in "Bridge to the Turnabout" which was done in his quest for revenge.]]
314** [[spoiler:Florent L'Belle]] from ''Dual Destinies'' is a straight example, although [[spoiler:his]] having white hair isn't immediately obvious, [[spoiler:and it turns out to be the decisive evidence against him when you find out that the white hair inside the Amazing Nine-Tails mask belongs to him]].
315* ''VisualNovel/RoseGunsDays'', another work by 07th Expansion, features several of its own:
316** "Crazy" Alfred Akagi, a crazy mafia boss and [[StarterVillain first antagonist]] to Primavera.
317** Just after him, Souhei "Caleb" [[spoiler:Keireiji]], a self-proclaimed WellIntentionedExtremist.
318** Season 3 introduces [[spoiler:[[IronicName Gabriel]] Kaburaya]], your good ol' upper-class [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who, in his own words, [[KnightTemplar "would like to drench his own hands in mafia blood"]].
319* Hiro Shiratake from ''VisualNovel/ShinraiBrokenBeyondDespair'' has white hair and quickly establishes himself as an arrogant {{jerkass}} who even treats his own girlfriend Momoko Mori poorly. [[spoiler:He only gets worse as the game goes on, as it's revealed that he callously dumped his first girlfriend Runa after finding out that she was poor and planned on cheating on Momoko with the latter's best friend Kamen.]]
320* Adonis from ''Silver Chaos'' starts off as a good guy but gets [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by the spirit of an evil god after performing a dark ritual to save his friend/love interest Might's life and becomes the game's BigBad who Might needs to kill.
321* [[spoiler:The original Tohno SHIKI]] in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' has white, shoulder-length hair. He is also possessed by the BigBad, inverted (meaning, given up completely to a SuperpoweredEvilSide), and completely insane.
322* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'':
323** [[spoiler:Kyrie Ushiromiya]]’s core defining trait is [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] and is confirmed to have been one of the true culprits behind the murders and showcases some signs of being a [[TheSociopath sociopath]], especially in [=EP7=].
324** Kazumi Sumadera, [[spoiler:her sister]], also counts seeing as she is out to get Ange and is relentless in pursuing her.
325** There's [[spoiler:Juuza Amakusa, Ange's white-haired bodyguard. Despite being friendly and teasing towards Ange, [=EP6=] reveals that he's also perfectly willing to kill her]].
326** Kinzo Ushiromiya, who is implied and later confirmed to have [[spoiler:started a massacre to monopolize the [[NaziGold Fascist Gold]]]] and is notorious for having been a tyrannical and abusive father.
327[[/folder]]
328
329[[folder:Web Animation]]
330* [[AristocratsAreEvil Don Paragon]] from ''WebAnimation/NomadOfNowhere'', beneath the [[SissyVillain cheerfulness, flamboyance]], and pure white ponytail, is a cold, calculating, and profoundly greedy man.
331* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
332** Jacques Schnee, like all members of the Schnee family, has white hair. He is also a cold-hearted businessman who is turning the Schnne Dust Company from a globally respected brand into [[CorruptCorporateExecutive something much more sinister]]. He is not a Schnee by birth and used to have black hair. However, he married the heiress of the SDC and took the Schnee family name, becoming the SDC's inheritor instead of his wife. He is a terrible husband and an abusive father, whose only interest in marriage was obtaining the company and whose only interest in his children is how they can personally benefit him. His affectation of the Schnee family's white hair is a symbol of the lengths to which he went to obtain control of the company and turn it into everything its founder, Nicholas Schnee, [[HonestCorporateExecutive never wanted it to be]].
333** [[BigBad Salem]] is a woman who [[ObviouslyEvil shares her colour scheme]] with the [[AnimalisticAbomination Creatures of Grimm]]. The Grimm are black-bodied with white, bony masks and body accents, and [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]]. Salem has bone-white skin, glowing red eyes, and dresses in black. Her hair is as bone-white as her skin. She has the ability to control the Grimm and seeks the [[KillAllHumans destruction of humanity]]. [[spoiler:Before her descent into evil, she was a young woman with blonde hair and turquoise eyes. However, she was [[BarredFromTheAfterlife punished]] with an [[CompleteImmortality inability to die]] for tricking the gods. [[DespairEventHorizon Despair at her fate]] eventually led her to try and end her life by throwing herself into the [[DestroyerDeity God of Darkness's]] inky pools of annihilation that were the source of the Grimm. Instead of killing her, the pools changed her appearance to mimic the Grimm and turned her into a being of pure destruction.]]

335
336[[folder:Webcomics]]
337* This is one of the many, many tropes that ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'' mocks. When the heroes first see Argent, they immediately assume he must be evil because of this trope. His response: "What, you think a guy can't have silver hair and gold-trimmed armor without being evil? Well...you're right."
338* ''Webcomic/ChessPiece'' has quite a few examples. There is Danny, the AntiHero / VillainProtagonist, who, despite being evil, does have quite a large fanbase (AllGirlsWantBadBoys), Vlad, who was a wild man back in the day [[spoiler:and has killed at least once (Phantom),]] and Phantom, the AxCrazy psychopath who has [[spoiler:gone on many a murderous rampage]] and is one of the main villains of the story.
339* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2003-12-05 Damien]] is one of the first {{Big Bad}}s in the comic and the only character to possess naturally white hair aside from Voltaire (who incidentally falls under [[LightIsNotGood a slightly different trope]] being entirely white).
340* Loratio from ''Webcomic/EmergencyExit''. He's not really ''evil'' (he did save the world from a demon), just extremely disagreeable with violent tendencies.
341* One of the first sinners we meet in ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'' is Jordan, who is friendly, cheerful, awkward, and sports a head of white hair. He's a sinner, but there's no way of knowing how bad what he's done actually is. [[spoiler:His hair is the only clue you get that he's the worst sinner Scarlet has killed so far, being a serial killer out to make her his 11th victim.]]
342* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons''
343** Mottom has silver-white hair and SupernaturalGoldEyes. In her youth she was the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman; after millennia ruling as a ruthless GodEmperor over a hundred thousand worlds, many people call her "The Devourer" and many more simply call her "Goddess."
344** Incubus is a more conventional example, appearing in dreams as a white-haired pretty boy. He rules another hundred thousand universes and is known as [[SatanicArchetype "The Lord of the Pit"]] amongst others. [[spoiler:His real form is considerably less pretty, being CoveredInScars, ThePigPen, and marked by TaintedVeins from using dark magic.]]
345* Shi-hoo, a vampire, from ''Webcomic/OrangeMarmalade''. Well, sort of. He's an arrogant asshole who views humans as inferior and dumps his girlfriend in the worst way possible... But he also has his sweet moments, making him more of a ''White Hair, Gray Heart'' sort of person.
346* Razin from ''Webcomic/OverlordOfRavenfell'' has white hair and is a wannabe EvilOverlord.
347* [[spoiler:Azeel]] of ''Webcomic/{{Plume}}'', on account of being BlackMagic-animated force of destruction and magic having a side effect of MysticalWhiteHair.
348* Bell from ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' has white hair and is the {{da|ddysLittleVillain}}ughter of the BigBad. She appears constantly as a villain and fights Blossom several times.
349* Marquessa Yrina Karavayev in ''Webcomic/{{Silenziosa}}'', a ruthless, devious bully who is willing to make a ''very'' early start to her vocation as an assassin.
350[[/folder]]
351
352[[folder:Web Original]]
353* ''WebVideo/AfterlifeSMP'': As a Vampire, Scott has white hair, {{red eyes|TakeWarning}}, and is a CardCarryingVillain who [[spoiler:murders two of his server-mates in cold blood for trivial reasons]] in his debut episode holding the origin.
354* Oric the Awesome, the BigBad of ''Roleplay/WarrensOfOricTheAwesome'' has long white hair. He spends all his screentime beleaguering his assistant and gloating to the heroes. He also runs a shop. And overcharges.
355[[/folder]]
356
357[[folder:Western Animation]]
358%% * Albedo, also known as [[EvilCounterpart Nega-Ben]] from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and its sequels, although he is most likely silver-haired.
359* ''WesternAnimation/DadX'': Foudror has scruffy white hair and is one PsychopathicManchild of an antagonist.
360* Vlad Plasmius of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' in his human form. His hair turned white when he first got his ghost powers and turned evil. Danny, on the other hand, is a subversion since his ghost form has white hair. Also played straight with [[spoiler:[[FutureMeScaresMe Dark Danny]]]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy''.
361* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Aaravos the star elf is AmbiguouslyEvil who may have helped humanity discover [[BlackMagic dark magic]], and has long white hair. Dark magic also [[PowerDyesYourHair turns your hair white]], as evidenced by Claudia and Ziard.
362%% * German sorcerer Sigmund from ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', TheRival for [[FieryRedhead Kyle]].
363* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
364** An example of GreatGazoo: Puck. Operates on BlueAndOrangeMorality half the time, helps or hinders based as much as if he likes the person as if they're working for a good or bad cause, can be a complete jerk or your best friend. It says something Xanatos spots the Jerkass Genie when Puck offers him a wish and manages to impress Puck with his final choice.
365** Subverted with the Magus in the opening five-part episode ''Awakening''; with his long white hair, elfin features, high-pitched voice, and an unfriendly attitude towards our heroes, the show does just about everything short of putting up a sign to paint him as a villain, but he ultimately turns out to be a loyal and heroic character.
366* Li'l Gideon from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has white hair and is downright evil. He might be albino since "Blendin's Game" shows he's had white hair since he was a baby, but it's not clear. However, an invisible passage in ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'' reveals that [[spoiler:the mystic amulet he used in his first appearance "corrupts your soul, and whitens your hair," implying that using the amulet turned his hair white]].
367* Evil-Lynn (TheDragon to Skeletor in ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'') rarely takes her helmet off, but the rare occasions she does in both versions of the series reveals her hair to be short and platinum blonde, clearly making her fit the trope.
368* Dr. Emilia from ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'' is the beautiful, brilliant, and devious [[spoiler:BigBad of the series, seeking to retake the surface world by force (via turning all of the animalistic Mutes into normal, unintellient animals) and kill Kipo Oak.]] She starts off as vaguely offputting in her first few appearances, and becomes increasingly unhinged as the series progresses.
369* Queen La from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'' is a voluptuous white-haired woman and a murderous {{Yandere}} [[VillainessesWantHeroes wanting to make Tarzan her own personal sex toy]].
370* [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicDiscord Discord]], the GodOfChaos from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', is a monster with white eyebrows and a goatee who warped Equestria to his will in his debut appearance. Downplayed in later seasons, after he befriends Fluttershy and is shown to have a HiddenHeartOfGold.
371* ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' has Evil Julian, an EvilCounterpart to resident PerkyGoth Julian; in fact, he's a straight-up evil albino.
372* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerHordePrime Horde Prime]] has white hair (and cybernetic cables attached to his head that resemble white dreadlocks), and he is the most evil character in the series. Averted with Scorpia, however; while her introduction implies she's going to be intimidating and sinister, that air of menace lasts approximately five seconds, and she ends up [[TokenGoodTeammate probably the LEAST evil character on Team Horde]] [[spoiler:and gets a HeelFaceTurn in Season 4]].
373* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
374** Without the veil, [[Characters/StevenUniverseBlueDiamond Blue Diamond]] is shown to have bluish-white hair, though it's played with; she was shown to be extremely callous towards Ruby and Sapphire for accidentally fusing in "The Answer", but her cruelty doesn't extend to her fellow Diamonds, who she deeply cares for, and she seems to have developed a sense of empathy for humans as opposed to Yellow's outright contempt for organic life.
375** [[Characters/StevenUniverseWhiteDiamond White Diamond]] naturally has white hair, and she's the most twisted of the Diamonds.
376%%* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' have one of these boys in the episode "Spellbound". [[spoiler:It turns out that the dragon Melchior had borrowed the looks from Rorek in the end.]]
377* Executive Agent Karen Croft of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersEarthSpark'' is cold towards her younger brother, a BadBoss to her human underlings, and [[spoiler:virulently hateful of Cybertronians, seeking to eradicate them completely - even from their own homeworld.]]
378* The villainous Lotor of ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' has long, flowing white hair.
379* [[KnightofCerebus Lord Dominator]], the main villain of ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder's'' second season is absolutely crazy for destruction, despite acting like a teenage girl.
