* Dr. Shweta Noorani, an amoral scientist who [[SmallRoleBigImpact manages to create devastating disasters each time she appears in spite of only being in two cases of the game]]. Her first appearance has her creating a deadly virus thanks to a bribe from O.M. Medilab, which is later stolen by Ayush Patil and unleashed on the public in Bangalore. When she appears again she is revealed to be responsible for helping create Protozane, and experimenting on several people with it, leading to all of them being killed except Zoe Kusama. She also tests it on Rosie Summers and successfully goads her into killing her boss, who was planning on fleeing the dome. Both times Dr. Noorani doesn't see a problem with how potentially dangerous her actions are, and by her second appearance, she doesn't regret anything either, just as long as she's able to satisfy her desire for more research.

* As the creator of Hurricanes Yves and Zelda, Veronica Blade didn't care about the deaths and destruction she caused through those hurricanes. At first she wanted some insurance money to leave Jazz Town because she couldn't sell her long-neglected estate, which was a protected historical site. But Peggy Pascal proved that Hurricane Yves didn't cause much damage to her estate, so her request was denied. This prompted her to destroy all of Jazz Town through Hurricane Zelda simply because she didn't receive the respect associated with her family name.

* Similar to two examples above, one case of ''World Edition'' gives us Anbu Devanesan. He's another one-shot villain outside of a district finale, but quickly established himself as one the fandom LoveToHate. He kills an innocent woman just because she stumbled upon his suspicious activities, and does everything to make sure that the Bureau's suspicions will be placed on the other suspects--including [[CrocodileTears crying all the time]], faking a suicide attempt and hiding behind his lawyer. The player manages to break through the facade when they find all the evidence, but unlike most killers, this guy doesn't stop when he's placed under arrest. Elliot exposes him as a SOMBRA agent, and he reacts by taking the boy hostage and hurting him, even shooting Jack when he tries to stop him. When Carmen and Jonah show up, Anbu smugly threatens to kill Elliot in front of them, but is thankfully stopped and given a life sentence. While his crimes of murder and money laundering are already heinous, his kidnapping of Elliot is what everyone considers unforgivable.
* Subverted with Angela Douglas when she's revealed to be a SOMBRA agent. While InUniverse her actions are considered irredeemable, some fans still consider her a sympathetic character, and it helps that the entirety of her motives have yet to be revealed. By the end, though, given that she was willing to bomb the Bureau and her callous assertion of Dupont's death, she lost the sympathy of most fans.

In the span of 6 cases, she killed the parents of 12 students, including returning character [[GoodParents Edward Ramis]].

Interested in creating a species of super-resilient humans, Denise created Rozetta as an attempt, only to disown her when she discovered Rozetta was merely smarter than most people. Upon the meteorite hitting Grimsborough, she uses Rozetta to extract the Berzelium, secretly helping Denise grow nigh-invulnerable neo-humans behind Ad Astra's back. Once Ad Astra are crippled by the Grimsborough PD, Denise resorts to having them killed one by one and attempts to destroy Grimsborough with a nuclear earthquake, in which she and her neo-humans can rule over Grimsborough. Fortunately, the team manages to avert the earthquake, but Denise sics her neo-humans into Grimsborough, only for her to be killed by them after proving herself to be inferior to them. Overall, Denise turns out to be one of the most despicable villains in the game, even topping the likes of Albert Tesla and SOMBRA.

* Dr. Catherine Kelly only appears in Case 32 of ''The Conspiracy'', but she deserves a mention due to the sheer lack of remorse she shows for her crimes. She's the only one under the Dreamlife dome that realizes that Rupert Winchester is disguising himself as Mortimer Pickering to spy on Dreamlife, due to having dated the real Pickering in college. She walks in on Rupert talking to the player, and sprays him with poison gas to silence him, allowing him to exit the dome before succumbing to the poison. She also reveals that she knew Rupert from her college years, and even then she doesn't see a problem with what she's done. The kicker is that after being arrested, she says that she'd kill Rupert over and over again if she could.

Changed line(s) 15,35 (click to see context) from:
* [[spoiler:Ayush Patil]] deserves a special mention, especially since he's just a one-shot character who doesn't appear in a district finale. He had a god complex and [[spoiler: used sociology as an excuse to release a deadly, man-made plague onto the public of Bangalore, where he hoped to do some population control. The virus kills thousands and sickens several more, including Lars, who was trying to help stop it. When he is arrested, Ayush shows no regret whatsoever, even feeling proud of himself for "unleashing a new era". Even as he's sentenced to life in jail he continues to take pride in his despicable actions.]] The amount of damage he caused in just one episode is jarring and considered unforgivable.
* At the end of South Asia, [[spoiler:Warren Goodfellow tricks an unwitting driver into delivering a package for him, then brutally murders him despite the guy not knowing that the package was for SOMBRA. Not only that, but he's also the one behind O.M. Medilab, the company that encouraged Ayush Patil to unleash a plague upon India, sold toxic drugs to people and had Om Padmasana framed for their actions throughout the district.]]
* At the end of East Asia, [[spoiler:Obaasan was revealed to be the mastermind behind the child traffickings all over the district, and has all of them (including Sanjay Korrapati) gathered up so they could kill each other until one child was left.]] And if that weren't bad enough, when one child refuses to participate in the murders, she [[WouldHurtAChild murders him with her own hands]] as he's trying to escape.
* Similar to two examples above, one case of ''World Edition'' gives us [[spoiler: Anbu Devanesan]]. He's another one-shot villain outside of a district finale, but quickly established himself as one the fandom [[LoveToHate loves to hate]]. He kills an innocent woman just because she stumbled upon his suspicious activities, and does everything to make sure that the Bureau's suspicions will be placed on the other suspects-[[spoiler: including crying all the time, faking a suicide attempt and hiding behind his lawyer.]] The player manages to break through the facade when they find all the evidence, but unlike most killers, this guy doesn't stop when he's placed under arrest. [[spoiler: Elliot exposes him as a SOMBRA agent, and he reacts by taking the boy hostage and hurting him, even shooting Jack when he tries to stop him. When Carmen and Jonah show up, Anbu smugly threatens to kill Elliot in front of them, but is thankfully stopped and given a life sentence.]] While his crimes of murder and money laundering are already heinous, his [[spoiler: abduction of Elliot]] is what everyone considers unforgivable.
* Subverted with [[spoiler:Angela Douglas when she's revealed to be a SOMBRA agent.]] While InUniverse her actions are considered irredeemable, some fans still consider her a sympathetic character, and it helps that the entirety of her motives have yet to be revealed. [[spoiler:By the end, though, given that she was willing to bomb the Bureau and her callous assertion of Dupont's death, most fans found she lost her sympathy.]]
* In the Capitol Peak arc, [[spoiler:Mayor Justin Lawson]] is a KnightTemplar tyrant who finally crosses this when [[spoiler:he goes against his condemnation of murder by sentencing Florence Samuels to death and forcing Diego Del Lobo (disguised as Eddie Lebold) to kill Charles Dupont]].
* In the Fairview Arc of ''The Conspiracy'', [[spoiler:Rosamund Wilcox]] is a serial killer who turns Rocket Cow into poison, and strikes at the very beginning of the season. [[spoiler:She usually presented herself as the benevolent principal of Fairview High, but would single out parents she caught yelling at their children and secretly kill them with her deadly concoction. In the span of 6 cases, she killed the parents of 12 students, including returning character [[GoodParents Edward Ramis]]. While she tries to justify it with the abuse she suffered from her own parents growing up, her actions aren't depicted as any less heinous.]]
* At the end of the Money Mile Arc, [[spoiler:Christian Bateman]] is revealed to be one of the most depraved killers in the entire series who isn't a SerialKiller. [[spoiler:He's a venture capitalist who worked so hard that his ambition drained him of most human feelings, which brought out his fantasies of torturing women for his own pleasure. When he meets Meera Kat, an artist who's just as [[SarcasmMode kind and caring as he is]], he finds himself falling in love with her... but she rejects him, which causes him to completely snap and kill her by dunking her in lava, taking pleasure in hearing her scream as she died. By the time the team arrests him, he is revealed to be so unhinged that he laughs maniacally at the murder he committed while calling himself the most sane person in the room.]] Judge Powell herself is horrified at this, and even as she gives out a life sentence the killer still laughs in her face.
* [[spoiler: Haruki Kato]] despite being a one case wonder, manages to eclipse all expectations of being a Magnificent Bastard when he [[spoiler: kills Marcus Butler, his best friend since high school. The motive? Haruki dearest became a member of The Higher Truth, a cult that relies on donations from members. The higher the donation, the closer to the "Enlightened One" and "the truth" one shall become. When Marcus came into the big bucks selling his artistic license, Haruki begged him for money for his crazy cult. Like any sane man, Marcus refused and the next logical step was to murder him brutally, grab his studio keys and take the money. The cherry on top is his outlandish and remorseless statement:]]
--> [[spoiler: Haruki:]] "There is something of far more importance at play than the trivial notion of a "best friend", and [[spoiler: Marcus]] should have understood this!"
* [[spoiler:Ernest Emerson]] appears to be a rather affable person when we first meet him, even if his scientific theories are eccentric. [[spoiler: When he appears in Maple Heights after the flood, he blows up a Xerdan cave to release dozens of venomous Demon Fish, who give deadly injuries to anyone who touches them. Several people are affected by this, and Martine nearly dies from the venom as well. Although Ernest helps save her life, later, he runs into his cousin Martha Price, who opposes his idea of releasing dangerous fish into public waters for the sake of research and plans to eliminate them all. Ernest does not take this well, resulting in a struggle that gets Martha killed by the Demon Fish. After he is arrested, Ernest reveals that he released the fish for the sake of science alone, and killed Martha because he thought she would be an obstacle. He also doesn't show any remorse for the fact that his reckless research killed several people and put others at risk, prompting Judge Powell to give him a life sentence.]]
* [[spoiler:Dr. Catherine Kelly]] only appears in Case 32 of ''The Conspiracy'', but she deserves a mention due to the sheer lack of remorse she shows for her crimes. [[spoiler:She's the only one under the Dreamlife dome that realizes that Rupert Winchester is disguising himself as Mortimer Pickering to spy on Dreamlife, due to having dated the real Pickering in college. She walks in on Rupert talking to the player, and sprays him with poison gas to silence him, allowing him to exit the dome before succumbing to the poison. She also reveals that she knew Rupert from her college years, and even then she doesn't see a problem with what she's done.]] The kicker is that after being arrested, she says that she'd kill [[spoiler:Rupert]] over and over again if she could.
* [[spoiler:Dreamlife]], a tech firm who prominently start appearing into the first quarter of ''The Conspiracy'', slowly end up crossing it halfway through the plot. [[spoiler:They establish themselves under a glass dome in the middle of Grimsborough, right where the meteor hit one year before the game's plot]]. Initially, their main problems are their [[CorruptCorporateExecutive egotistical and slippery CEO]], [[spoiler:Rozetta Pierre]], and being behind many dubious schemes, such as [[spoiler:creating a dangerously addictive [=VR=] game and managing The Higher Truth's money]]. However, the company are later revealed to be behind numerous events in the plotline. They're responsible for [[spoiler:Zoe Kusama's kidnapping and amnesia]], [[spoiler:kidnapping various people and then killing them via human experimentation]], and experimentation with the meteor that caused [[spoiler:the earthquake and flood from earlier in the season to happen]], but the biggest kick is when they're discovered to be [[spoiler:producing a drug named Protozane]]. It's discovered that [[spoiler:Protozone is able to suppress emotions entirely and that there is no cure for it, essentially turning people who consume it into sheep]]. By the end of Misty Grove, [[spoiler:they're about to release Protozane into Grimsborough, just in time for them to be stopped and Rozetta jailed.]] To make it worse, [[spoiler:Rozetta justifies Protozane by claiming the [=VR=] game proved to Dreamlife that the population liked to be told what to do, showing no remorse even when she's defeated.]]
* [[spoiler:Dr. Shweta Noorani]], an amoral scientist who [[SmallRoleBigImpact manages to create devastating disasters each time she appears in spite of only being in two cases of the game.]] Her first appearance has her [[spoiler:creating a deadly virus thanks to a bribe from O.M. Medilab, which is later stolen by Ayush Patil and unleashed on the public in Bangalore.]] When she appears again she is revealed to be responsible for [[spoiler:helping create a drug that could make people submissive, and experimenting on several people with it, leading to all of them being killed except Zoe Kasuma, who lost her memories due to the severe side effects. She also tests it on Rosie Summers and successfully goads her into killing her boss, who was planning on fleeing the dome.]] Both times [[spoiler:Dr. Noorani]] doesn't see a problem with how potentially dangerous her actions are, and by her second appearance she doesn't regret anything either, just as long as she's able to satisfy her desire for more research.
* [[spoiler:Dreamlife lab scientist Emilio Fuller]] starts off as being one of the few [[OnlySaneMan sane men]] in the organization, but he crosses it at the end of Misty Grove. [[spoiler:He discovers that his estranged father, Tony Marconi, is doing all of Rozetta's dirty work to protect Emilio. Unfortunately for Tony, Emilio sees him as nothing more than a criminal and genuinely believes that Dreamlife was making the world better]]. When [[spoiler:Tony finally manages to meet Emilio, [[HeelFaceMole Emilio pretends to help him destroy the Protozane shipment with a molotov cocktail, only to use it to]] [[{{Patricide}} kill Tony instead]].]] [[spoiler:Emilio]] shows a disturbing lack of remorse, [[spoiler:even blaming Tony for stepping in the way of science]], leading to him getting a life sentence.
* University's [[spoiler: Toby Hansen]] commits one of the most brutal murders for an opening district case, savagely bisecting a freshman for a petty reason; the victim was starring in his student film and was subject to transfer elsewhere. Angered with the possiblity of having to reshot, he dressed up as the film's villain and chainsawed her on film, effectively creating a SnuffFilm. [[spoiler: Toby]] boasts that his visionary approach to film will be eternally remembered, showing eerie pride in his "art." Naturally, he acquires a hefty sentence for his "trouble".
* The University had a minor character, [[spoiler:Gunnar Burns]], commit one of the most gruesome murders in the series in Case 40. Even when he first appears, he's not a very nice person and doesn't even try to hide it. He even [[spoiler:murdered his ex-wife as revenge for her divorcing him 20 years ago, and kept that secret for two decades until his backyard would be dug up by the government, forcing him to try and hide her remains in Grimsborough University's tennis court. He is caught by star athlete Stephanie Griff, and his response to that is to knock her out and torture her with a vice, slowly crushing her head with it.]] Not only is he completely disrespectful to everyone around him (including the police force), he doesn't feel remotely bad about anything he's done, instead blaming it on the other person's personality or something else he didn't like. This is enough for Judge Powell to sentence him to life in prison, without any possibility of parole.
* [[spoiler:Polly O'Brien]] initially appears as an endearing, friendly girl when she first appears in the penultimate of the district. Then just a case later, [[spoiler:she, alongside all four other Ad Astra members, kidnaps and whips Professor Kevin Charles to death on Rozetta Pierre's order.]] [[spoiler:Polly]] instantly drops her innocent facade, proudly condoning her acts and the attention it brings her, and showing a disturbing LackOfEmpathy to both [[spoiler:Charles and her deceased boyfriend]] (who died in the previous case), all within the span of what is canonically around 12 hours in game.
-->[[spoiler:Polly]]: I see you fell for my innocent act, (Player). Just be careful not to underestimate me. Look what happened to [[spoiler:my boyfriend]]. He annoyed me... and oops, now he's dead.
* Ad Astra, the villainous organization that the Grimsborough PD investigates after [[spoiler:shutting down Dreamlife,]] also manages to do a lot of damage during the later half of the season. [[spoiler:When the new Ad Astra surfaces in Case 42, all five of their members kill Professor Kevin Charles by taking turns whipping him to death, ordered by Rozetta because she thought he would expose the identities of the original members. In Spring Fields, one of the members, Fornax, AKA Julia Brine, puts the region in a crisis by burning down all the cornfields with the intention of replacing it with her own GMO corn, which is laced with mind-controlling Protozane. Although she is arrested for conspiracy, three more members continue to plot against the Grimsborough PD. One of them is Christian Bateman, one of the most mentally unstable killers in the game, who gets released from prison out of the blue and gleefully talks about how he's going to carry out "Plan Supernova", a city-wide blackout, to throw the city into chaos. Soon afterwards, a hit is ordered on the player character, which ends up killing rookie cop Mia Loukas instead. The hit turns out to be ordered by Mayor Joe Warren, who had been nothing but friendly to the player whenever they spoke. After averting Plan Supernova, Louis Leroux, a journalist who had helped the player and Jones find Zoe Kusama, murders Zoe and is discovered to have been not only a member of Ad Astra, but had used his status to conceal the meteorite crash.]] And to make it worse, Ad Astra [[spoiler:are merely decoys for the GreaterScopeVillain of the season, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who has them executed once their plans fail]].]]
* [=S.A.R.A=] head [[spoiler:Denise Daniels]], initially a morally gray character, is later revealed to be [[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheMan the real leader of Ad Astra]] as well as Rozetta's mother]] when the team arrive at Newmark. [[spoiler:Interested in creating a species of super-resilient humans, Denise created Rozetta as an attempt, only to disown her when she discovered Rozetta was merely smarter than most people. Upon the meteorite hitting Grimsborough, she uses Rozetta to extract the Berzelium, secretly helping Denise grow nigh-invulnerable neo-humans behind Ad Astra's back.]] Once Ad Astra are crippled by the Grimsborough PD, [[spoiler:Denise resorts to having them killed one by one and attempts to destroy Grimsborough with a nuclear earthquake, in which she and her neo-humans can rule over Grimsborough]]. Fortunately, [[spoiler:the team manages to avert the earthquake, but Denise sics her neo-humans into Grimsborough, only for her to be killed by them after proving herself to be inferior to them]]. Overall, [[spoiler:Denise]] turns out to be one of the most despicable villains in the game, even topping the likes of [[spoiler:Albert Tesla]] and [[spoiler:SOMBRA]].

Just about any murder that wasn't [[AccidentalMurder an accident]] or whose perpetrator [[SympatheticMurderer wasn't sympathetic]] would qualify for this, but several individuals in this game deserve special mention.
----
* [[spoiler:Alden Greene]] is pegged for most of the Financial Center arc as a CorruptCorporateExecutive who's suspected to be involved in some very questionable transactions, believes [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney money can solve any trouble]], and is a SmugSnake in general. [[spoiler:Then he murders recurring character Rachel Priest with an injection that causes her to die a horrific death, in order to keep her from revealing the unethical SuperSoldier program he's about to bankroll]].
*** He crossed this again when he [[spoiler:killed Karen Knight for refusing to support their master Albert Tesla's plan to destroy Pacific Bay, implying his willingness to let innocent lives killed just to appease a madman's goal of creating a virtual reality]].
* [[spoiler:Margaret Littlewood]] appears to be a kindly, if a little nosy old lady who loves dogs. Then comes the dog pageant event, and this seemingly harmless woman becomes a monster when she killed 3 dogs and one of the dog's owners, [[spoiler:then attempted to kill Jones to scare the police from continuing the investigation]], just to win the event.
* The Rorschach Reaper [[spoiler: A.K.A. Tess Goodwin]] is already a heartless SerialKiller and [[ManipulativeBastard master manipulator]] [[spoiler:who then goes on to hypnotize Jones into attempting to murder ''the player character''. Her reason for this and the murders she orchestrated? It was all for a thesis on latent murderers, and she didn't care that killing the player character will severely weaken the police's efforts in arresting killers.]]
* [[spoiler:Milton Grimmes]] is the head of an organization that is implied to be behind almost all of Grimsborough's murders, including the murders of Rachel Priest and Adam Bentley. Then, he points a gun at the player character, which will let crime go unpunished in Grimsborough.
* [[spoiler:Erikah Mabayo]] is the second SerialKiller in the game behind the Rorschach Reaper, and it shows. Even beforehand, she is responsible for several minor crimes in Bayou Bleu, but in Case 10 it is discovered that [[spoiler:she killed 4 24-year old prostitutes for no real reason, including one of the only sympathetic characters in the bayou, singlehandedly ruined Harvey Fitchner's career, found the only witness and blackmailed him, then started the voodoo craze to give herself power.]]
* [[spoiler:As the creator of Hurricanes Yves and Zelda, Veronica Blade didn't care about the deaths and destruction she caused through those hurricanes. At first she wanted some insurance money to leave Jazz Town because she couldn't sell her long-neglected estate, which was a protected historical site. But Peggy Pascal proved that Hurricane Yves didn't cause much damage to her estate, so her request was denied. This prompted her to destroy all of Jazz Town through Hurricane Zelda simply because she didn't receive the respect associated with her family name.]]
* As the third SerialKiller in the game, the Puppeteer [[spoiler:A.K.A. Freddie Alonzo]] shows no concern for the teenage children of his victims, who were last seen arguing with said children before their murders. [[spoiler:He based his motives on his belief that parents like his get their joy from restricting their children and deluded himself to believe that he was giving children freedom.]]
* [[spoiler:Duncan Young]] is the fourth SerialKiller in the game and has absolutely no remorse for [[spoiler:his]] actions as the Night Walker. [[spoiler:He froze at least three women in ice and stabbed a man with an icicle all because he felt insignificant after [[CareerEndingInjury getting shot on duty]]. Not to mention that he [[ObfuscatingDisability taught himself how to walk again]] but remained in his wheelchair to likely garner sympathy. It doesn't work when he's finally caught as not even his sister feels sorry for him anymore.]]
* The Sword in ''World Edition'' starts off by shooting Chief Ripley, forcing the Bureau to find her attacker in the Sahara. The leader then starts toying with them in every case, all the while manipulating others to do his dirty work [[spoiler: and beheading one of them when he wasn't useful anymore. In the very last case of the Sahara, he kidnaps an innocent little boy, nearly kills Armand Dupont, almost driving a teenager to extremism, and tops it off by an attempt to kill Carmen and the player when they arrest him. Luckily, Jonah Karam shoots him dead before he can.]]
* The COSMORUS mole crosses this when she launches SOMBRA's satellite without a care that the safety of the entire world would be compromised by her actions. Her reason for this? She wanted total control of the Russian government, and didn't care if she had to endanger the entire planet by doing so.
* [[spoiler:Ayush Patil]] deserves a special mention, especially since he's just a one-shot character who doesn't appear in a district finale. He had a god complex and [[spoiler: used sociology as an excuse to release a deadly, man-made plague onto the public of Bangalore, where he hoped to do some population control. The virus kills thousands and sickens several more, including Lars, who was trying to help stop it. When he is arrested, Ayush shows no regret whatsoever, even feeling proud of himself for "unleashing a new era". Even as he's sentenced to life in jail he continues to take pride in his despicable actions.]] The amount of damage he caused in just one episode is jarring and considered unforgivable.
* At the end of South Asia, [[spoiler:Warren Goodfellow tricks an unwitting driver into delivering a package for him, then brutally murders him despite the guy not knowing that the package was for SOMBRA. Not only that, but he's also the one behind O.M. Medilab, the company that encouraged Ayush Patil to unleash a plague upon India, sold toxic drugs to people and had Om Padmasana framed for their actions throughout the district.]]
