Removed this:

• Magnificent Bastard Benjamin Linus, from Lost, appears more Neutral Evil, until the end of the fourth season, where, for all the lying and backstabbing , he seems to have a genuine commitement to the interests of the Island.
  • Also, whatever else he may lie about (and he will lie about everything, just for the hell of it), whenever he gives somebody his word, he always honors it.

Nah, Ben's as NE as they come. Whne was the last time he 'gave his word' without trying to go back on it or hoping he wouldn't have to? (Locke blowing up the sub, letting Jack etc. leave on the helicopter and then moving the island and (by proxy) blowing up the freighter. He even admits in Season 6 there were only two things he cared about: Alex and his power. And (even though it broke him)he admits to choosing his power over her.

Are we going to draw a distinction between the "types" there was, at one point, a "type 1" versus a "type 2". I'm not sure of that distinction but, if it could be drawn, it would be very helpful to explain it. I came here after finding the character sheet for Viral on Gurren Lagann called him Lawful Evil (Type 2). I'm curious to see what that means

• Shinobu Sensui is often pegged as Chaotic Evil, but considering that he's got seven different personalities, the deal is much more complex than it seems. Out of said personalities, his original Shinobu one (which was hidden after Sensui went completely mad, only resurfacing while fighting the heroes) qualifies as very much Lawful Evil: he's determined to fulfill his mission as a Spirit Detective, and he goes to bloody lengths to get it - as much as the rules he follows allow him to. And it makes even more sense once you consider that he's the Evil Counterpart of the Spirit Detective that took his place, Yuusuke Urameshi, a textbook Chaotic Good.

Huhn?!? In no moment after his Face Heelturn is implied he want follow his old mission neither shows follow any rule-actually, he looks more a textbook example of The Unfettered.By the way, more Lawful Evil characters are Evil Counterparts to Lawful Good characters.

Removed Affably Evil, because a Character Affably Evil not necessarily is Lawful Evil.

PS: The libby are Neutral Selfish, not Lawful Evil

Could we make a special exception for Adolf Hitler? I know that character alignments are meant for 2D fictional characters, but Hitler would definitely be tagged as this if he were a fictional villain.
