He also tried to goad to US government into declaring war with the Iran by creating some false evidences that made it look like they were behind his attacks. While he publicly claimed that the terrorist attacks would stop as soon as the USA called back all their troops stationed abroad, this was just another ruse. His true goal was to cause so much chaos that the US government would enact an emergency protocol and transfer all their sensitive data to a secure bunker beneath Denver. Once that happened he and his men stormed the bunker, where Sadiq had his men [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing the Secretary of Defense]] until he would give them access to the data. Notably he only became a terrorist after an US drone strike wiped out the Iraqi village he was stationed in, yet he [[ForgottenFallenFriend himself never mentioned the villagers even once or showed any kind of sadness about their deaths]]. In the end [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist his atrocities outweigh any justification he may once had]].
* ''VideoGame/SpyFiction'' (North American version): [[SociopathicSoldier General Douglas Lysander]], aka "The Demon of Death", is a member of Enigma, Dietrich Troy's [[TheDragon second-in-command]], and head of the Lahder Biochemical Plant. Having fought in various wars since he was a teenager, Lysander lost all hope for America after they left him in a POWCamp.

Kidnapping and imprisoning Kayson's rival and creator of Lahder, Dr. Alice Coleman, she later escapes her cell. However, Lysander quickly catches her and puts her in a meat-strapped cage dangling over [[PiranhaProblem a pit of piranhas]], taunting the PlayerCharacter about how their plans to stop Lahder's shipment and missile launches have failed. With his final breath, Lysander attempts to shoot Coleman. Despite appearing in only two levels, Lysander manages to stand out as an arrogant, psychopathic hypocrite compared to his [[AntiVillain more sympathetic]], less ambitious superiors.
* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' franchise:
** The original continuity has two {{evil sorcerer}}s:
*** ''[[VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon Year of the Dragon]]'': [[BigBad The Sorceress]] is the cruel ruler of the Forgotten Worlds. Manipulating her apprentice [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Bianca]] into abducting 150 dragon eggs under the guise of restoring magic to her kingdom, the Sorceress quickly reveals the true depths of her [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist selfishness and hypocrisy]]. Completely uncaring of the lives of her men, the Sorceress transforms her own minions into freakish monsters to fight Spyro, and ultimately plans to create a monster to wipe out every dragon, [[WouldHurtAChild even the hatchlings]], all so she can collect their wings for a spell that will give her eternal youth. She nonchalantly states that she doesn't even have to kill them; she just doesn't want them wriggling around while she removes their wings. A genocidal tyrant who [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about herself]], the Sorceress stands out as the darkest and purest villain in the original Spyro trilogy.
*** ''[[VideoGame/SpyroShadowLegacy Shadow Legacy]]'': [[BigBad The Sorcerer]] is a purple dragon who believes that he is a "true dragon", claiming that [[FantasticRacism the other dragons are not true dragons]].

After Red's defeat, the Sorcerer creates 3 Shadow Amplifier Machines to pull everyone, [[WouldHurtAChild including children]], to the shadow realm so he can drain them of their magic, which involves torturing and killing them. When Bianca tries to stop him, the Sorcerer easily defeats her and orders Red to use her as bait for Spyro so he can kill him. When Spyro finally confronts the Sorcerer, he [[WeCanRuleTogether offers to make Spyro his apprentice]], only for him to reject him anyways, deeming him too small and weak, before attempting to kill him for interfering his plans. A cruel, dark being who believes himself to be superior to the other dragons, the Sorcerer serves as one of Spyro's darkest foes.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'' trilogy:
*** [[KnightOfCerebus Malefor]] is a monstrously evil dragon responsible for the trilogy's events. Banished by the Dragon Elders after [[FallenHero succumbing to his own ambition and megalomania]], Malefor formulated a new army and waged war against his own kind before being sealed away. To stop the prophecy of the purple dragon, Malefor had his ape servants raid the dragon temple and smash all of the eggs within. Seeking to be released from his prison, Malefor provided Gaul the dark magic in which he could corrupt the hatchling Cynder into a loyal servant, having her torture and [[ManaDrain drain the magic of the Dragon Elders]] to aid him. Free from his prison, Malefor [[BadBoss "rewards" his ape army by stripping them of their flesh]] and forcing them to live in the shadows. Creating a new army of [[RockMonster Grublins]] from the earth, Malefor has them ravage the surface, killing all within their path. Fond of [[HopeCrusher crushing the hope of his enemies]], Malefor has his armies retreat, only to sic a Golem onto the city of Warfang. Intending on bringing about "The Great Cleansing", Malefor resurrects [[BeastOfTheApocalypse The Destroyer]] and attempts to use it to [[OmnicidalManiac bathe the world in a blazing inferno and extinguish all that lives]].
*** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroTheEternalNight The Eternal Night]]'': [[ManiacMonkeys Gaul]] is the leader of the Apes who seeks to release Malefor from his prison. Prior to the story, Gaul personally led the raid on the dragon temple, [[WouldHurtAChild destroying every dragon egg there]]. Taking Cynder's egg back to his lair, Gaul uses Malefor's magic to [[TheCorrupter warp the young Cynder]] into an instrument of war, [[AndIMustScream keeping her aware of her actions]], and through her had countless innocents enslaved or slaughtered. In the second game, Gaul has his followers siege the dragon temple again purely to kill Spyro. Later in the game, Gaul commits an attack on the Skavenger's ship, leaving it to burn with its inhabitants inside. Before the final battle, Gaul drains Spyro of his strength and forces Cynder to try and kill him. [[FantasticRacism Despite having a deep hatred for dragons]], Gaul committed many atrocities under Malefor's command purely to obtain more power.
** ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'': [[TheManBehindTheMan The Darkness]] is the source of all evil in the franchise, with the ultimate goal of the total destruction of Skylands followed by domination of the universe. Having terrorized Skylands in the past before being driven off, The Darkness continued to influence and corrupt many evil beings over time. [[ItCanThink Revealing its intelligence]] in ''Superchargers'', The Darkness happily aids [[Characters/SkylandersKaos Kaos]] in powering the Sky-Eater before hijacking the scheme and persuading Kaos to destroy Skylands instead, eventually threatening him when [[EvenEvilHasStandards he shows reluctance]]. The Darkness's other, more personal crimes include wiping out Voodood's tribe, destroying Boom Jet's home village, and nearly corrupting Spyro into Dark Spyro. Fully comprehending morality and choosing to embrace evil, The Darkness proves to be a [[VileVillainSaccharineShow dark villain in an otherwise lighthearted setting]].
* ''VideoGame/TheStalinSubway'' & ''VideoGame/RedVeil'': [[TheStarscream Lavrentiy Beria]] is the [[BigBad mastermind]] behind the events of both games. Deciding to overthrow [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Stalin]], Beria started to organize regular executions and tortures, using his men to murder dozens of people under the pretense of hunting down traitors. [[IHaveYourWife Kidnapping the father]] of hero Gleb Suvorov to torture information out of him about the atomic bomb the scientists were building, Beria planned to [[NukeEm use the bomb]] to kill Stalin and the rest of the Party.

* ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}'' series: Even in this EldritchLocation filled with mutants and anomalies, these two prove that HumansAreTheRealMonsters:

If the Marked One decides to help Silence invade the Freedom base, Skull will attempt to massacre everyone inside. Returning months later, Skull has [[PsychoForHire joined]] a group of mercenaries stationed at the bunker near Yanov Station, leaving the entire laboratory and its staff defenseless when participating in an ambush to steal documents about the Gauss rifle for his client.
** ''[[VideoGame/STALKERClearSky Clear Sky]]'' prequel: [[TheDon Yoga]], the original head of [[TheMafiya the Bandits]], is a sociopathic and tyrannical crime lord known for his needlessly cruel way of handling problems, which he sees as implementing his own brand of "order" in the Zone--as seen when he murders his own spy and wipes out LaResistance.

* ''Franchise/StarFox'' franchise: Throughout the Characters/StarFoxTeam's adventures, the following antagonists were the worst enemies the mercenaries have ever faced:
** In a franchise that has undergone two {{Continuity Reboot}}s, [[EmperorScientist Andross]] has [[ManiacMonkeys shown his worst]] as the BigBad in the first two timelines:
*** ''VideoGame/StarFox1'' & ''VideoGame/StarFox2'': Andross, banished to Venom for an unknown crime, he converted the lush, green planet into a barren weapons factory while enslaving the natives to fight for him against their will. He then launched an assault on the Lylat System, severely damaging the various planets and regions while doing so. While Fox ends the war, Andross [[ActuallyADoombot had put an AI copy of himself in charge of the operation]], leaving him free to build the Astropolis base and attack again, this time with the goal of [[OmnicidalManiac completely destroying Corneria]].
*** ''[[VideoGame/StarFox64 64]]'' & ''[[VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures Adventures]]'': [[EvilutionaryBiologist Andross]] was responsible for [[PlayingWithSyringes experiments]] that destroyed a good chunk of the Cornerian capital city and rendered multiple worlds in the Lylat system uninhabitable. Banished to the planet Venom, Andross [[PlanetBaron took it over]] while building his own army. When the time was right, Andross launched a vicious campaign on Lylat, having his forces attack civilian populations and aiming to exterminate life on entire worlds. When he faced Fox [=McCloud=], whose father Andross had killed years ago, Andross was apparently destroyed, only to survive in the form of a spirit who fled to Dinosaur Planet, later named Sauria. Manipulating events there, Andross engineered his own resurrection and transformation into a near deity, forcing Krystal into tortuous imprisonment and facilitating General Scales's plans, which threaten the entire planet. At the climax of ''Adventures'', Andross [[HijackedByGanon kills Scales]] and opts to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the entire Lylat system]].
** ''[[VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures Adventures]]'': [[InsaneAdmiral General Scales]] is the brutal leader of the [=SharpClaw=] tribe who wishes to rule Dinosaur Planet. With the aid of Andross, Scales steals the Spell Stones, slaughtering the [=EarthWalkers=] sent to stop him. This causes the planet to become dangerously unstable, threatening to affect the entire Lylat system if it explodes. Scales then imprisons the Gatekeepers as well as the [=EarthWalker=] Royal Family. Scales forces the [=SnowHorn=] Gatekeeper's daughter to open a Gate to [=DarkIce=] Mines by threatening to slaughter her tribe, and [[ExactWords fulfills his promise not to kill them]] by enslaving them in said mine. He conquers the [=SkyRunner=] Fortress and has his men beat and imprison the [=SkyRunner=] Queen. He releases the vicious [=RedEye=] Tribe into the Walled City, driving the [=EarthWalkers=] out of most of the City. He transforms Dragon Rock into a wasteland and performs experiments on dinosaurs to turn them into dangerous bioweapons. [[BadBoss Cruel even to his own tribe]], Scales stands out as one of Star Fox Team's cruelest foes.
** ''[[VideoGame/StarFoxAssault Assault]]'': [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Aparoid Queen]] birthed the Aparoid race and [[HiveQueen unleashed them upon the Lylat System to infect all matter]] in a cataclysmic attempt at [[EvilutionaryBiologist bypassing evolution]]. When opposed by Fox [=McCloud=] and the rest of Star Fox, the Aparoid Queen initiates horrifically destructive campaigns upon Sauria, Corneria, and the Orbital Gate to distract them or stamp out resistance. Her AssimilationPlot sees those infected by Aparoids [[AndIMustScream retain some consciousness coupled with the inability to do anything about it]]; the tragic effects are seen most vividly in the fights against General Pepper and Pigma Dengar. When Star Fox confronted her at the heart of the Aparoid Homeworld, the Queen uses the information she absorbed from her spawn's exploits to imitate the voices of the fallen, including Fox's deceased father James, to break their spirits. Under the delusion everything existed for her race of "truth," the Aparoid Queen threatened existence itself in her quest to dominate all as Aparoid.
* ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'': [[EmperorScientist Dr. Edward Bilstein]] blackmailed a famous fencer/matador into working for him by kidnapping/threatening his family. On top of that, he planted a bomb in his body to ensure his "loyalty." He has less than pleasant plans for the people on Earth, and killed the parents of one the main characters and then turns the father into a plasma-wielding dinosaur. He also uses some denizens from another character's home planet to take over it. Then he orphaned, kidnapped and enslaved a young child who has the biggest plasma power potential in the galaxy. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Once his minions have done all his orders]], he's going to use their Plasma power for his ultimate weapon. He plans to use [[DaddysLittleVillain his own loving daughter]] as a guinea pig by which he can breed a new race of humans solely to use their limitless Plasma power to aid in his attempts to [[TakeOverTheWorld Take Over The Universe]] are another arguable offense. Even when Rain, in her true ending, rebels against her father and decides to become galactic ruler in his place, it seems like that outcome is the lesser of two evils by a wide margin given the sheer malice Bilstein is capable of.
* ''VideoGame/{{Starlancer}}'': Admiral Vladimir Kulov is the man behind The Coalition that has expanded into space, and is a brutal, corrupt mass murdering bastard. Kulov defies a peace treaty to invade the peaceful Alliance and overruns their territory, massacring many innocent people along the way. When the Alliance military fleet is defeated, Kulov gives an order to execute the prisoners of war without remorse. In order to keep control of the civilian populations, Kulov regularly has massacres conducted to quell any hint of dissent. Throughout the game, Kulov is seen as nothing more than a sickening bastard with a desire to dominate what he can.
* ''VideoGame/{{Starsiege}}'': [[KillAllHumans Prometheus]] is a malevolent, sapient [[AIIsACrapshoot AI]] who is the leader and creator of the Cybrids. During an experiment in which IT linked with the mind of [=ITs=] own creator, Prometheus came to the conclusion that humans are mere animals deserving extermination. Prometheus pushed the Cybrids into a series of apocalyptic wars against humanity, ravaging Earth's ecosystem, in hope to replace them with [=ITs=] own "perfect" children. During an unprecedented campaign of genocide, the Cybrid army under Prometheus's command commits many atrocities, such as strapping living humans--including children--to the hulls of their war platforms, using them as {{human shield}}s; pumping them with pain-inducing drugs to make them scream; infecting small animals with nanoplagues to exploit human empathy against them; and maiming their victims in most brutal ways. When some of the Cybrids, called Metagens, defied the Core Directive for a more pragmatic solution of exploring stars instead of wasting resources in a pointless war against mankind, Prometheus declared them "bugthinkers" and ordered their elimination.
* ''VideoGame/{{Stasis}}'': [[MadDoctor Doctor Geradus Malan]] is the Head of Special Projects for the Cayne Corporation, which is responsible for conducting illegal human experiments. On the ''Groomlake'', Malan leads efforts to kidnap random citizens to [[OrganTheft harvest their organs]], where he clones them to expand his operations and kill hundreds more. Proposing Project SEED to create the ultimate SuperSoldier, Malan experiments on countless humans that deform them into feral hybrids, where they are disposed of if they show defections, while others are produced by impregnating captured women with them. Out of spite towards [[PlayerCharacter John Maracheck]] for ruining his project, Malan unleashes a hybrid on John's daughter and [[ForcedToWatch forces John to watch her demise]].

Following in his father's footsteps in [[ImmortalitySeeker the search for immortality]], Reggie used Shelley Thompson as a guinea pig, forcing her to transform herself into the bloodthirsty Heruka, resulting in the violent slaughter of the project scientists, then tying up any remaining loose ends by sending the Albino after the survivors. Donovan funded terrorist groups, causing many more innocents to die in his search, and forced [[IntrepidReporter Meg Crimson]] to help acquire the creatures' blood samples to lure Steppenwolf out of hiding. After acquiring the samples, Reggie orders Steppenwolf and Meg to be killed, then injects himself with the X-Creatures' blood, [[OneWingedAngel becoming an intelligent beast]] and brutally killing his own guards before hunting down Steppenwolf.
* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'' series: [[DiabolicalMastermind Mr. X]], [[BigBad leader]] of TheSyndicate who has taken control over all of Wood Oak City's criminal enterprises, is fairly generic in the first two games, but later shows how low he can sink in two alternate timelines:
** ''[[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage3 3]]'' (Japanese Version) & ''[[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage4 4]]'': Mr. X, now a BrainInAJar, hatches a plan to steal the explosive substance Rakushin, which he'll use to [[WarForFunAndProfit trigger a war]] between the Lima Nation and the United States, all to achieve [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]].

Upon his encounter with Axel and friends, Mr. X tries to have all of Wood Oak blown up, looking forward to ruling over the city’s remains no matter how many people die. If the bombs are not stopped in time, countless people and buildings are destroyed in the explosions, leaving psychological scars on the surviving citizens.

To that end, he ordered his scientists to develop an anti-gravity device called the Gravitron, under the pretense that it would provide limitless energy to the people of Earth. In reality, Meio planned to use the Gravitron to pull his space station, the Third Moon, into Earth's orbit, which would cause worldwide natural disasters, killing off all of Earth's population and allowing Meio to create his perfect race. [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade Any scientist who learned the truth was hunted down and killed]], or, in the case of The Prisoner, tortured into insanity. Meio [[BadBoss kills subordinates]] who [[YouHaveFailedMe fail to meet his expectations]], such as [[MadScientist Professor Schlange]].

Even dying, Luca declares himself "[[CardCarryingVillain the true face of evil]]".

Finally confronted by B.J., Deathshead takes his dissected friend’s brain and places it in a robot as a fully conscious slave--a fate he intends for all his dissected victims and B.J. himself--and forces him to attack B.J.
