* ''Literature/TheDreamQuestOfUnknownKadath'': Nyarlathotep, the crawling chaos, is an EldritchAbomination, but he welcomes Randolph Carter politely, explains why Carter hasn't been able to reach his marvelous sunset city, and gives him the means to fix the situation. Only later does Carter realize that Nyarlathotep has lied to him and engineered his doom just ForTheEvulz.

* ''Literature/TheRippleSystem'': Well, calling him "evil" might be a stretch, but Tyrann is a selfish prick who is conquering the entire game world using his army of zealous followers, and making ''Ned'' look the like the one with an unfair advantage. He manages to keep up a smile most of the time, but Ned can see under it that he is ''very'' annoyed whenever Ned survives and ruins Tyrann's most recent plans.

* ''Literature/ACourtOfThornsAndRoses'': Amarantha can be quite charming when she wants to be, with even Feyre noting that if she hadn't known better she'd be taken in by her, and she often comes off as politely-spoken and genial when interacting with Feyre. It's made obvious that she's just toying with her and she feels nothing but malice towards her.

* The titular Doctor in ''Literature/DrFranklinsIsland'' is smoothly urbane and smiles a lot. He's never more than mildly exasperated at his {{Defiant Captive}}s or his colleague with the inconsistent conscience, but said captives are always aware that he doesn't actually think of them as ''people'' and will quite happily vivisect them.

** Voldemort exhibits this trait a few times, mostly in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]'' when he makes some [[IncrediblyLamePun terrible "hand" puns]] to Wormtail during [[AnArmAndALeg a related task]]. From what the reader sees of his younger days, he was even more of this trope before his sanity was completely gone.

* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': [[BigBad Visser Three]] likes to present himself as a reasonable, charismatic leader. In truth, he's a complete psychopath, who given the slightest provocation will savagely murder the person he's talking to. As the series goes on, and he loses more and more ground against the Animorphs, his ability to put on a MaskOfSanity steadily degrades.

* From the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfNarnia'': The White Witch, Jadis, demonstrates a personality like this in both ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'' and ''The Magician's Nephew''. In the former, she ensnares Edmund with food and drink and promises of power. She is far subtler in the latter, however, with words so honeyed you could hardly believe so "fierce" a person had said them. Her affability and feigned concern for Digory's mother nearly succeeds in persuading him to disobey Aslan, but her genuine lack of concern for anyone that isn't useful to her trashes the whole thing.
