* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRevolver'' has [[spoiler: Governor Griffon, who betrayed Red Harlow's father and is responsible for General Deigo's tyrany.]]
** ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' has [[spoiler: Dutch van der Linde and Edgar Ross. Dutch is the main target, but Edgar is the one who manipulates John and instigated the plot.

Out of all four, O'Driscoll and Cornwall are basically {{Big Bad Wannabe}}s, though Cornwall is the one who hired the detectives who hound the gang for most of the game.

** ''Red Faction II'' has [[GloriousLeader Chancellor Victor Sopot]], leader of the Commonwealth who oppresses his citizens with an iron fist. [[spoiler: After his is killed halfway through the game, your immediate superior [[TheStarscream Crate Molov]] takes over where Sopot left off and declares himself as new Dictator.]]
** ''Guerrilla'' has a BigBadDuumvirate between [[TheHeavy General Roth]] and [[InsaneAdmiral Admiral Lucious Kobel]] of the EDF, who exploit the populace of Mars for the planets resources.

** ''Armageddon'' has cult leader [[DarkMessiah Adam Hale]], responsible for destroying the Terraformer and leaving Mars uninhabitable and eventually awakening a dormant alien race beneath Mars' surface.
