* {{Franchise/TheFlash}}: Barry Allen, the second Flash, is this for the DCU and more specifically for Wally. He was called "Saint" for a while when he was dead, that means something, huh?

%%* Non-Kira [[Manga/DeathNote Light]], in a stark reversal, serves this function for L.

* ''Series/HomeImprovement'': Wilson.

* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Jiminy Cricket[=/=]Dr. Hopper.

* Mac from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', though some of the other more moral characters fill this role occasionally.

* Siegfried Kircheis serves as this for Reinhard von Lohengramm in ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'' [[spoiler: and continues to serve as one ''even after his death''.]]

* In the argentinian comic book {{Comicbook/Dago}}, Enfeldt, the ruthless leader of a sect of fanatical lutheran Lanzichenecchi that are currently sacking Rome as part of the army of Charles V, is constantly followed by an unnamed mercenary who, while not depicted as any less evil than any other looter, act as a sort of voice of reason for him. He turns down a plan for a suicidal attack on the castle of the Pope, and tells Enfeldt to be happy with the takeover of Rome already and ease his fanatical zeal. [[spoiler: Later, when Enfeltd chases Dago, the titular protagonist, into a burning building just for the sake of fighting him (as Dago has repeatedly thwart his plans while trying to defend Rome), the mercenary try to convince him to let go and get away, but it's rebuked, and leaves while cursing Enfeltd's madness. Enfeldt is killed by Dago one page later, and the mercenary is never seen again]].

* ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan are ''trying'' to be this for your PlayerCharacter, presenting two slightly different flavors of it. Carth is the first "real" party member you get, and more or less takes the job on himself, arguing for Light Sided actions and being loyal to the Republic and its ideals. Bastila is aware of what your character ''is'', and has been ordered by the Jedi to be your MoralityChain due to the [[InformedAbility Force Bond]] that's present, and (usually) arguing for options that reflect the Jedi's interests and ideals, which are not always the same as the Republic's. The PlayerCharacter, however, can repay the favor to [[spoiler: Bastila, if they can convince her to turn back to the light in the end]].

* Between each chapter in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', a psychologist called Dr Hill has a session with the player where he questions your choices and actions. While it seems he has no involvement in the plot aside from interacting with the player, It's eventually revealed he does have a very important role in the story. [[spoiler: He's a psychotic delusion of Josh's therapist and an internal part of his mind that's trying to stop him from going crazy from grief from his sister's death and to get Josh to abandon his little revenge scheme.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', it was initially Superman but it soon became The Flash. This is a plot point in the Cadmus storyline where it strongly implies that if Flash dies (particularly if he dies at Lex Luthor's hands), Superman will go crazy and kill Lex with his heat vision in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. [[spoiler: When the moment comes where Superman ''believes'' that Lex has killed Flash, he comes very close to doing it, but in the end relents and says "I'm not the man who kills Lex Luthor. Right now I wish to God that I was, but I'm not." Luckily, Flash turns out to be alive after all.]]

* Ruby in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' only actually gets to lecture Dillon seriously once, but there's a definite sense that after that, having her around reminds him that he should consider the consequences of his actions. She's well suited to the role, also offering Zii a polite moral nudge at one point.

** During her first appearance, new OnlySaneWoman Peggy [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/you_hurt_by_dooooze suddenly if briefly acts as a Conscience.]] She doesn repeat the function very often, but [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/and-you-believed-her the next time she rips into Zii for hurting Sonya]] is ''textbook''.

** During her first appearance, new OnlySaneWoman Peggy [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/you_hurt_by_dooooze suddenly if briefly acts as a Conscience.]] This may become a recurrent function for her.

%%* ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'':

* Jiminy Cricket is appointed Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'s conscience in the WaltDisney animation.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Davos lampshades his role as this in "Second Sons" when he points out that Stannis has come to him because he ''wants'' Davos to talk him out of his current course of action and that Stannis keeps him around because he needs someone to tell him when he's gone too far. He's left at Castle Black during Stannis's last campaign, and Stannis indeed ''does'' go too far in an attempt to ensure victory for his army. Emphasis on ''last'' campaign.

* In the argentinian comic book {{Comicbook/Dago}}, Enfeldt, the ruthless leader of a sect of fanatical lutheran Lanzichenecchi who are currently sacking Rome as part of the army of Charles V, is constantly followed by an unnamed mercenary who, while not depicted in a better light than anyone of the looters, act as a sort of voice of reason for him. He turns down a plan for a suicidal attack on the castle of the Pope, and tells Enfeldt to be happy with the takeover of Rome already.
