History TokenGoodTeammate / VideoGames

** The game is set in a time and place in which any percieved cooperation with Germany can cost someone their job. [[spoiler:In fact, it's the reason the PlayerCharacter is jobless at the beginning of the game]]. However, nobody in the factory in which the PlayerCharacter starts working on the day the child starts school gives them any trouble. The PlayerCharacter's coworker are even described as nice and considerate compared to the rest of the town.

* ''[[VideoGame/Drakengard]]'' brings us Leonard. Yes, he may be a pedophile, but he recognizes those urges as wrong and represses them. He stands out among the cast for being the only member with a defined moral compass and actively discourages and abstains from the extreme violence Caim and company engage in.

He stands out among the cast for being the only member with a defined moral compass and actively discourages and abstains from the extreme violence Caim and company engage in.

** In ''VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth'', Yosukesaurus is this among the herbivore dinosaurs in the second movie. Whereas the rest of the herbivores are portrayed as [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] [[BitchInSheepsClothing Bitches in Sheep's Clothing]] whose action make them out to be even more villainous than the carnivores, Yosukesaurus is an actual NiceGuy who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of both the heroes and the fellow herbivores.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' series, your party battles Shadow Selves, who are physical manifestations of the worst aspects of someone's personality and almost always try to kill either their real self or your party as soon as you meet them. The sole exception is Shadow Futaba from ''VideoGame/Persona5'', who serves as a SinkOrSwimMentor for Futaba Sakura and never directly tries to harm anyone (although she does lead you into a trap from time to time).

* In his first appearance Cyrus from ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' is urging [[BigBad Dr. Caulder]] to leave Brenner and his men alone as there's no need to attack them (of course they do anyways), [[spoiler:and his "goodery" ultimately pisses off Caulder enough that he poisons Cyrus with a chemical [[KickTheDog that will kill him in the slowest most painful way possible]]]]. Your own unit becomes this for a brief bit when serving Grayfield as well; even though his evil and insanity is ''[[ObviouslyEvil painfully obvious]]'', Brenner sticks with him hoping to end the war between Rubinelle and Lazuria that's still going despite [[AfterTheEnd the world being destroyed]].

* In his first appearance Cyrus from ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' is urging [[BigBad Dr. Caulder]] to leave Brenner and his men alone as there's no need to attack them (of course they do anyways), [[spoiler:and his "goodery" ultimately pisses off Caulder enough that he poisons Cyrus with a chemical [[KickTheDog that will kill him in the slowest most painful way possible]]]]. Your own unit becomes this for a brief bit when serving Grayfield as well; even though his evil and insanity is ''painfully obvious'', Brenner sticks with him hoping to end the war between Rubinelle and Lazuria that's still going despite [[AfterTheEnd the world being destroyed]].

* Shay Patrick Cormac for the Templar Order in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue''. Whereas most people join the order to advance their career, grab for power or resentment against the Assassins, he joined the order for a purely heroic motivation - namely, stop the Assassins from triggering earthquake with First Civilization's Temples.

*** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Jecht]] is good, or at least neutral, despite being a member of the Warriors of Chaos, all composed of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' villains. Every other villain is out to either TakeOverTheWorld, or [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it]] - Jecht is just a rather lousy dad who wants to fetch his kid and go home. The reason he's siding with the villains is that [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Emperor Palamecia]] manipulated him into thinking that their victory would let him rejoin his son, Tidus. It's also revealed in the prequel that he was actually on Cosmos' side in at least the previous cycle. He probably would have remained there for the 13th cycle as well, had it not been for the Emperor's machinations.[[note]]Tidus, on Chaos' side at the time, sacrificed himself to save Yuna form one of the Emperor's attacks, prompting Jecht to transfer his life energy over to him. The Emperor, noticing Jecht's crystal (which Cosmos had provided to all of her warriors), got an idea to use them in the next cycle of conflict. From there, he kidnapped Jecht and had Chaos revive him as one of his own warriors for the following cycle.[[/note]] [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]]]], on the other hand, is a [[TheMole good guy posing as a villain]].
*** To a lesser extent, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Judge Magister Gabranth]]. In the 13th cycle, he's nothing more than a disgruntled jailer who serves as a warden for those no longer used in the conflict. Several of lines are somber and hint that [[TheAtoner he wants nothing more than penance for his past transgressions]], while most of the other Chaos warriors mock him for his more admirable qualities. Compare this to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], who serves as Team Cosmos' Token Evil Teammate (to the point that most of the villains revere her). Both of these are somewhat subverted in the prequel ''Duodecim'', as the two are actually affiliated with their respective deities this time around (however, Gabranth just seems to be [[MyMasterRightOrWrong doing his job]] and seems to be confronting Cosmos simply to end the war--thus lacking an ulterior motive unlike most of the others, while Shantotto is still a fair bit malicious, even towards her ally [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Prishe]]).

* Out of the five (eventually six) [[TheEmpire Valuan admirals]] in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'', Gregorio is very honorable and only follows the empress because he subscribes to the MyCountryRightOrWrong mentality, and Belleza despises war and [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeks to put an end to the long-standing Valua-Nasr War by any means necessary]]. [[spoiler: When Galcian declares his intention to take the entire Valuan navy and go rogue, both Gregorio and Belleza turn against him, pulling {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s to allow the party (which includes the defected Valuan prince - who Gregorio is a father figure to - at this point) to escape Galcian's fortress and to kill Galcian respectively.]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', the Dire side is full of monsters and generally evil beings and some neutral ones. There are a few exceptions, like [[DynamicEntry Magnus]] and [[NobleWolf Lycan]], who are heroic characters looking for justice for wrongs dealt to them. [[ImmortalityHurts Clinkz]] is also heroic in his backstory, slaying a demon to protect his lands, only to receive his current form accidentally from a spell by the mage-king Sutherex, which left him understandably pissed off. There is also [[DarkIsNotEvil Dazzle]], a friendly healer who uses his magic for self defense and aid. In [[CombatSadomasochist Huskar's]] backstory, it is Dazzle that saves him, not that Huskar wanted that.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has a cabal of mages from Starkhaven Hawke often deals with over the course of the game. Their leader, Decimus, tries to kill you on sight. Grace, his girlfriend, [[spoiler: starts out creeped out, but [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope accepts his way of thinking]] and tries to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution murder Hawke and their sibling/love interest.]]]] Terrie [[OutOfFocus isn't seen much]] but she gives quests involving framing templars. Then, there is Alain, a genuine NiceGuy who just tries to help.

** Bomber Elite from ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration'' is definitely this. He is the leader of the Crush Bombers and thus makes him [[TheDragon The Dragon]] of the game. However, unlike the others who are either [[AxCrazy Ax Crazy]] or just plain [[JerkAss jerks]], Bomber Elite is the only one of them that has no maliciousness to him whatsoever. He's [[AffablyEvil extremely polite to Bomberman]] and is [[BloodKnight happy to enjoy a fight with him]]. He also constantly asks Bomberman if he's alright and is disappointed when he defeats Bomberman. However, once Bomberman defeats him, Bomber Elite before disappearing says [[GracefulLoser he was glad]] [[WorthyOpponent to have lost]] [[TearJerker to him]].

* Out of the entire cast of ''VisualNovel/LiarLiar'' Tanaka is the only one who doesn't show some level of AxCrazy or LoveMakesYouCrazy.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'', Superman and his allies are {{Fallen Hero}}es who seek to re-establish the Man of Steel's totalitarian Regime. They are joined by Supergirl, Superman's cousin, who wholeheartedly believes she and Supes are {{Hope Bringer}}s. When she finds out just what Superman is up to, however, [[BrokenPedestal it crushes her]]. [[spoiler:If the player picked the BadEnding, Superman orders Supergirl to become TheDragon to his restored Regime, and threatens to convert her into a brainwashed cyborg if she refuses. Being that she's imprisoned, Superman knows that she'll be back into his fold one way or another.]]

* Three of the Four Horsemen in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' are sadists and their quotes reflect so. Sir Zeliek is the one who has retained his humanity and, rather than taunt you, tries to make you turn back and survive, but is still [[AndIMustScream forced]] to fight for the Lich King.

* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has quite a few:
** [[PunchClockVillain Beltway and Lupo]] to the rest of the Wolfpack in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'', for a ''very'' loose definition of "good"; they're still remorselessly hunting down innocent cops and civilians, but their lack of overt psychopathic tendencies still puts them over the mark compared to the rest of their team.
** Speaking of Umbrella's forces, the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service is comprised of [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores convicted war criminals and mercenaries]] and home to some ''purely'' evil and psychotic people like Nikolai, but seems to contain a few of these. Carlos Oliviera is the ''one'' known member of the unit who, despite having a DarkAndTroubledPast, is a genuinely heroic man who actually wants to rescue the surviving citizens of Raccoon City and is visibly distraught by the revelation that Umbrella actually ''caused'' the viral outbreak. Other characters like Mikhael and Murphy might count as well, as well as the unnamed UBCS soldier who died defending a single civilian from a BOW, but aren't given enough development to know for sure.
** Alexander Ashford may count as well, being one of the only known executives of Umbrella to have ''some'' moral standing and who ''isn't'' utterly batshit insane, and who's research focused entirely on the human gene responsible for regulating intelligence and human cloning. What firmly pushes him into this position is, upon seeing the horrific experiments his daughter Alexia was working on, her intent to test said experiments ''on herself'', and fearing the threat to the world this posed, he developed the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Linear Launcher]] and installed it in the base, designed to be used to stop Alexia if her plans were carried out. [[spoiler:Guess what comes into play during the FinalBoss battle]].
*** His father [[PosthumousCharacter Edward Ashford]] was one for the original founders of Umbrella. Compared to [[MadScientist Marcus]] and [[GreaterScopeVillain Spencer]], he was the only one who wanted Umbrella to be just an ordinary pharmaceutical company and not an insane conspiracy that makes bioweapons.
** Ada Wong in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', if you count Wesker and the people working for him as a team given how little actual teamwork happens. She spends enough time and effort helping [[MoralityPet Leon]] that you can almost forget that she's trying to get the Dominance Plaga for Wesker until she steals it from Leon at gunpoint. [[spoiler: Though it's revealed that she gave Wesker a fake Plaga and gave the real one to her other employers.]]

* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'': Janos Audron for the vampires. Kain is a MagnificentBastard out to achieve his goals by any means necessary. Vorador is a sadistic hedonist with a penchant for torture. Raziel, while not really ''evil'', can be indecisive, self-righteous, and is mostly motivated by wanting to save ''himself''. Janos, on the other hand, is a kind, fatherly cleric type who is one of the few people in the games who will tell the truth in a straightforward, artless manner. He even thinks kindly of the [[KnightTemplar murderous Sarafan]], believing that they're only acting out of fear and ignorance.
* William is the Super Ego among the [[SiblingTeam McCall brothers']] PowerTrio in ''VideoGame/CallOfJuarezBoundInBlood''.

* By the end of ''VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift'', [[spoiler:Litchi ends up joining NOL as the Token Good Teammate. Unlike the Imperator's other subordinates, Litchi only joins NOL in search of a cure for Arakune and her own deteriorating health, and otherwise holds no loyalty to them. Interestingly, she doesn't undergo an EvilCostumeSwitch in ''Chronophantasma'' and more-or-less has the same personality she did before siding with NOL.]]
** In ''Chronophantasma'', the Duodecim families are all firmly under the control of the NOL (and the Imperator and Hazama by extension), except for ReasonableAuthorityFigure Kagura.
* In ''Franchise/StarWars'' video games:
** In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', if you go dark-side, by the end of the game Zaalbar will be the only remaining nice person on your team (the others have either been turned, killed, or ran away by that time), and [[EverybodysDeadDave he'll (hopelessly) attack you if you take him onto the Star Forge]]. This leaves T3-M4 as the only neutral party member.
** In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', if you go dark-side, you can corrupt pretty much your entire party to become violent, bloodthirsty lunatics. There is exactly one exception to this: your mentor Kreia, who always sits precisely in the middle of the KarmaMeter. [[spoiler:She's ultimately a downplayed example since she intends to destroy the Force entirely and is manipulating you to this end, but she still disapproves of the mindless slaughter and destruction you leave behind in your wake.]]
** In ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', Vette is this to a Dark-sided Sith Warrior's party since she's the only one who isn't a murderous psychopath (Jaesa and Broonmark) or loyal to the Empire (Quinn and Pierce). The Sith Inquisitor's party has Talos Drellik, who is easily the nicest party member in a group consisting of brooding cynics (Ashara and Andronikos) and violent brutes (Khem Val and Xalek). Also, a Light Side Sith Inquisitor or a Light Side Sith Warrior would qualify as this for the Empire AND the Sith. Other Light Side Imperial player characters tend to be rather reasonable and pragmatic individuals when compared to their Dark Side counterparts.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'', Superman and his allies are {{Fallen Hero}}es who seek to re-establish the Man of Steel's totalitarian Regime. They are joined by Supergirl, Superman's cousin, who wholeheartedly believes she and Supes are {{Hope Bringer}}s. When she finds out just what Superman is up to, however, [[BrokenPedestal it crushes her]]. [[spoiler:If the player picked the BadEnding, Superman orders Supergirl to become TheDragon to his restored Regime, and threatens to convert her into a brainwashed cyborg if she refuses. Being that she's imprisoned, Superman knows that she'll be back into his fold one way or another.]]
* Both Rei and Shu become this in the Dream Mode of the first ''Videogame/FistOfTheNorthStarKensRage'' solely on the basis that the Nanto side are the antagonists, and they're both Nanto practitioners. In the real story, they would've been Kenshiro's greatest allies. In Rei's case, it's because [[spoiler:his [[MoralityPet sister Airi]] [[IHaveYourWife was taken hostage by]] [[EvilOverlord Thouzer]].]]
* Athena, in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', is the most heroic Vault Hunter in the game, compared to Wilhelm (a mercenary who cares only about [[OnlyInItForTheMoney getting paid]] and comes to respect Jack's ruthlessness), Nisha (a CombatSadomasochist [[InLoveWithYourCarnage who becomes Handsome Jack's main squeeze when she finds his brutality alluring]]), Claptrap (who's...well, not evil, but hardly heroic, and [[MyMasterRightOrWrong is incapable of disobeying an order from Jack]]), Timothy (who like Claptrap cannot disobey Jack due to being his body double) and Aurelia (who's an EgomaniacHunter, albeit one with [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]]). By the end of the game, the only reason she's still with Jack is that her sense of professional pride prohibits her from leaving a job unfinished as well as wanting to get even with [[spoiler:Lilith and Roland]].
* In ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite: Globs of Doom,'' the heroes and villains from various Nicktoons split up into opposite teams. VillainProtagonist [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]], however, goes with the heroes, so his arch-nemesis, HeroAntagonist Dib, decides that he has to team up with the bad guys. [[GuiltByAssociationGag This doesn't end well for]] [[ButtMonkey him]].
* [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Cao Ren]] in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' is probably the least evil member of the Wei kingdom, a force filled with ambitious and/or scheming lords like Cao Cao and Sima Yi (who was a Wei officer until the introduction of the Jin kingdom in ''7'', which introduced another example for Wei when Cai Wenji was PromotedToPlayable). Ren is a fatherly soldier who simply wants to put an end to the chaos as peacefully as possible.
* ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburIV'' has this fate unfortunately befall Sophitia Alexandria. Tira shows herself to be ''[[ManipulativeBastard very]]'' GenreSavvy by designating Sophitia's daughter as a prospective host for [[EvilWeapon Soul Edge]]. In order to prevent this, Sophitia was [[ForcedIntoEvil strong-armed into working with Nightmare and co.]] [[TheChosenMany As the latest warrior in a long line chosen by the Greek gods]] to destroy the evil sword, Sophitia is none too thrilled about her FaceHeelTurn; however, [[MamaBear for the sake of her children]], she must [[ApologeticAttacker reluctantly]] ward off any who attempt to reach the sword, including her younger sister Cassandra and any of her previous allies. And when her other allies who are similarly manipulated in this cause was [[MadManInTheAttic Voldo]]...
* In ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'', Himiko is mainly on the side of the forces of Orochi because Da Ji acts as a CoolBigSis toward her. When she and Da Ji are captured by the Resistance in ''Warriors Orochi 3'', Himiko gets along better with the Resistance fighters (as unlike Da Ji, she doesn't have an ulterior motive for doing so), and goes along with a few of the girls in one SideQuest to help rescue another of their missing warriors.
** Also in ''3'', Motonari Mori is savvy enough to realize that the balance of the dimensional world actually depends on Da Ji's presence, like it or not, so he protects and joins forces with her despite still being friendly, especially compared to Orochi's other generals such as [[SmugSnake Masamune]], [[AxCrazy Fuuma]], [[WildCard Keiji]], [[BloodKnight Achilles]] or [[FatBastard Dong Zhuo]].
* Mina Tang in ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol''. The only employee of the eponymous agency who seems to have any sort of conscience, and also the only one of Mike Thorton's {{Mission Control}}s who care if he kills American agents or civilians, makes deals with arms traffickers, or commits similar acts of DirtyBusiness.
* Oichi in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' used to be one for the Oda clan. Despite her dark powers, she just looks demure and innocent compared to [[EvilOverlord Nobunaga]], [[PsychoForHire Mitsuhide]], [[PsychoSupporter Nouhime]] and [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Ranmaru]]. Then she got carted off to marry [[JusticeWillPrevail Nagamasa]] where her 'good'/'innocent' side develops more and she could be a genuine good rather than Token Good Teammate... [[LoveHurts Too bad it goes downhill]] [[BreakTheCutie so fast from there on]].
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has a cabal of mages from Starkhaven Hawke often deals with over the course of the game. Their leader, Decimus, tries to kill you on sight. Grace, his girlfriend, [[spoiler: starts out creeped out, but [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope accepts his way of thinking]] and tries to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution murder Hawke and their sibling/love interest.]]]] Terrie [[OutOfFocus isn't seen much]] but she gives quests involving framing templars. Then, there is Alain, a genuine NiceGuy who just tries to help.
** Of the actual main characters, there's Bethany Hawke. Everyone else has at least one moment of hypocrisy or moral greyness (even DaChief is very pragmatic), while Bethany mainly wants [[IJustWantToBeNormal to be normal]]. Sebastian genuinely tries to be this, despite his hotheaded streak -- whether he succeeds depends on his relationship with Hawke [[spoiler: and what you do with Anders in the endgame.]]
* Sword Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' openly admits he has no qualms with Mega Man; He's simply been programmed to destroy him. He even ''compliments'' Mega Man with his dying words before exploding.
--> '''Sword Man:''' Nice shot.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', the Dire side is full of monsters and generally evil beings and some neutral ones. There are a few exceptions, like [[DynamicEntry Magnus]] and [[NobleWolf Lycan]], who are heroic characters looking for justice for wrongs dealt to them. [[ImmortalityHurts Clinkz]] is also heroic in his backstory, slaying a demon to protect his lands, only to receive his current form accidentally from a spell by the mage-king Sutherex, which left him understandably pissed off. There is also [[DarkIsNotEvil Dazzle]], a friendly healer who uses his magic for self defense and aid. In [[CombatSadomasochist Huskar's]] backstory, it is Dazzle that saves him, not that Huskar wanted that.
** On the Radiant side, there is [[PlantPerson Treant]] [[AllLovingHero Protector]], who is the most gentle and least violent hero in the game. The only hero he takes exception to is [[ChainsawGood Timbersaw]].

* In his first appearance Cyrus from ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' is urging [[BigBad Dr. Caulder]] to leave Brenner and his men alone as there's no need to attack them (of course they do anyways), [[spoiler:and his "goodery" ultimately pisses off Caulder enough that he poisons Cyrus with a chemical [[KickTheDog that will kill him in the slowest most painful way possible]]]]. Your own unit becomes this for a brief bit when serving Grayfield as well; even though his evil and insanity is ''painfully obvious'', Brenner sticks with him hoping to end the war between Rubinelle and Lazuria that's still going despite [[AfterTheEnd the world being destroyed]].
* Credo from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4'' is pretty much the only member of [[CorruptChurch The Order]] who is genuinely good and heroic, isn't in on the evil conspiracy, and isn't a demon [[spoiler:at first]].
* Out of the entire cast of ''VisualNovel/LiarLiar'' Tanaka is the only one who doesn't show some level of AxCrazy or LoveMakesYouCrazy.

* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2008'', the [[DealWithTheDevil Corrupted]] of [[GodOfEvil Ahriman]] have the [[TragicVillain Warrior]]. He was a king who needed power to save his pacifistic people from invaders, and sold his soul to Ahriman for that reason. Compare that to the motivations of the [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame Hunter]], the [[ForScience Alchemist]], and the [[FemmeFatale Concubine]]. [[spoiler:Even Elika's father was not purely altruistic when he sold his soul in exchange for his deceased daughter's resurrection.]] When the Warrior fights against Elika and the Prince, he mocks them less than the other Corrupted and [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou tells them to flee while they still can]] more than once. [[TheEmpath Elika]] senses that he loathes what he has become and [[SympathyForTheDevil holds for him more sympathy]] than for any other Corrupted [[spoiler:(except maybe her father)]], urging him to fight against Ahriman's control over him. [[spoiler:When he's finally defeated, he spends his last moments in a more positive light than the rest of the Corrupted: by begging for his people's forgiveness, [[VillainsDyingGrace throwing Elika and the Prince to a safe distance from him]], and seemingly fighting against Ahriman's control before he [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explodes]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/TombRaiderAnniversary'' gives us Larson Conway of [[BigBad Natla's]] thugs. He's a former US Marine while his allies are a former gang leader and a full-blown serial killer who much prefers to talk it out with Lara and use non-fatal takedowns to defeat her. At one point he intentionally ''misses'' so she can escape, and later tries to talk her out of continuing by pointing out [[VillainHasAPoint the Scion technically belongs to Natla]], and only actually turns his weapon on her once she makes it clear she fully ''is'' willing to kill him to retrieve the Scion.
* Three of the Four Horsemen in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' are sadists and their quotes reflect so. Sir Zeliek is the one who has retained his humanity and, rather than taunt you, tries to make you turn back and survive, but is still [[AndIMustScream forced]] to fight for the Lich King.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series, the defining characteristic of [[IncompetenceInc the Vault]]-[[GreaterScopeVillain Tec Corporation]] was their disturbing [[ForScience social experiments]] on the people in their [[UndergroundCity Vaults]], shelters to hold people if the Apocalypse ever happened (which it did), in order to gauge their reactions. These range from Vaults [[AllThereInTheManual of one men and all women]], to more elaborate nightmares like [[VideoGame/Fallout3 filling the Vault]] [[HellIsThatNoise with mind-altering white noise]], or [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas telling the dwellers they must]] [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice one person a year or all perish]]...
** ...And then there was [[OnlySaneMan Dr. Ted Reilly]], introduced posthumously in [[VideoGame/Fallout4 Fallout 4: Vault-Tec Workshop]]. He was part of the staff for Vault 88, which prototyped the horrific social experiments that would be used in other Vaults, but Ted apparently missed the memo that he worked for EvilInc and instead designed things that would actually make the Vault residents happier and healthier. To name just one example, there was an experiment based around placing a soda machine into a Vault; some ideas included spiking the soda mix with mind-control chemicals or diet suppressants so they wouldn't stop working in order to eat. Ted's idea was a soda mix that tasted better than Nuka-Cola and [[CutLexLuthorACheck could've made Vault-Tec billions]]. The notes left behind by the other Vault-Tec staff are full of remarks about how much they despise Ted and pleas to Headquarters to [[ReassignedToAntarctica reassign him to somewhere cold and unpleasant]].
*** The [[PlayerCharacter Sole Survivor]] can follow in Ted's footsteps if they choose. The DLC's plot involves finding the remnants of Vault 88, where its Ghoul-ified Overseer, Barstow, wants to continue Vault-Tec's experiments on unwitting Wastelanders. The player is given a series of experiments to carry out, but they can opt to use Ted's benevolent, quality of life-improving ideas instead. Barstow gets annoyed every time you choose the "Ted option", and if you choose them every time, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood she gets so frustrated at the idea of NOT using innocent people as guinea pigs]] that [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she throws up her hands and leaves the Vault forever]], making you the new Overseer.
** The ruthless Gunner faction from ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is a mercenary outfit just one step above Raiders in terms of viciousness, and will do any job, no matter how brutal, if the pay is right. However, since their main motivation is money, you'll sometimes come across non-hostile Gunners who are just taking honest jobs as caravan protection.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}'', the Fatebinder is (at least initially) an outright VillainProtagonist working for TheEmpire, and their companions and allies are, for the most part, {{Sociopathic Soldier}}s, LesCollaborateurs, just plain AxCrazy, or some combination thereof. With two notable exceptions among the possible party members:
** Eb, a rebel leader who can potentially join the Fatebinder's party, usually after [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeat]], and, GoodIsNotSoft moments aside, actually has a functional moral compass.
** Sirin, though a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and occasional SpoiledBrat, actually cares about people, even if she occasionally uses her PsychicPowers in morally questionable ways to ensure her survival or try and help.
** The Fatebinder [[HeelFaceTurn can become this]], although not without great difficulty. The evil teammates respect them enough to stick around; if nothing else, a good-aligned Fatebinder [[EnemiesEqualsGreatness attracts some excellent enemies]].

* Weird Ed from ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'' is the only inhabitant of the titular mansion who's actively seeking to help Dave and his friends, mostly because it fits in with his goal of removing his father from the Meteor's control. Green Tentacle could count too, except he just wants to form a rock band and doesn't seem to care one way or the other about whose side he's on. (It should be noted that he and Weird Ed are operating independently of each other.) As for the others, the Meteor is evil, Dr. Fred (as mentioned) is under his control, Nurse Edna tolerates the evil members, Purple Tentacle does whatever Dr. Fred says, and Dead Cousin Ted is, well, dead.
* Eleanor Hume from ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' is a good-hearted member of the Abbey, an organization that claims to be protecting and uniting the world in the name of reason and their job are basically exterminating Daemons (men turned monsters). All of them are more into Daemon-killing, but Eleanor is more focused on helping the innocents and [[TenderTears tends to be a little crybaby about it]], and being kept in the dark on the Abbey's darker intentions [[spoiler:([[TheEvilsOfFreeWill to eliminate free will]])]]. She ends up tagging along with Velvet that sought to destroy the Abbey [[spoiler:and after realizing that the Abbey is bad, she stopped following its orders]], but because Velvet's group is basically a bunch of [[AntiHero anti-heroes]], Eleanor basically became ''their'' TokenGoodTeammate, the only character in the group that's grounded with basic morality.

* In ''VideoGame/FarawayStory'' the main antagonists for Part 1 are the members of the [[PraetorianGuard Midage Unit]], who want to conquer the Faraway Continent and take the Philosopher's Stone. Silmina and Crowa want to arrest or kill your party for petty reasons and Necrovia is willing to do anything [[spoiler:[[WellIntentionedExtremist to stop the Dark Lord's resurrection]], or [[AmbiguouslyEvil so she claims]]]]. In contrast, Remi Currensia uses her authority ethically, genuinely believes that the Philosopher's Stone will make the world a better place, and tries to defeat the party non-lethally when they have to fight.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}''
** Regulus from ''VideoGame/Bomberman64'' and ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack''. In both games, he is working with the evil organizations of the respective games. However, unlike most of his teammates who seem to relish in destruction and want nothing more to kill Bomberman, Regulus is only in it for a [[BloodKnight good fight]]. Once he sees Bomberman as a [[WorthyOpponent Worthy Opponent]], he will aid Bomberman in taking down the one he is after (though this mainly comes from the fact Regulus believing that [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he is the one who should defeat Bomberman]]). Plus, it helps that [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he isn't that much of an asshole compared to most villains in the Bomberman series.]]
** Bomber Elite from ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration'' is definitely this. He is the leader of the Crush Bombers and thus makes him [[TheDragon The Dragon]] of the game. However, unlike the others who are either [[AxCrazy Ax Crazy]] or just plain [[JerkAss jerks]], Bomber Elite is the only one of them that has no maliciousness to him whatsoever. He's [[AffablyEvil extremely polite to Bomberman]] and is [[BloodKnight happy to enjoy a fight with him]]. He also constantly asks Bomberman if he's alright and is disappointed when he defeats Bomberman. However, once Bomberman defeats him, Bomber Elite before disappearing says [[GracefulLoser he was glad]] [[WorthyOpponent to have lost]] [[TearJerker to him]].
* Shay Patrick Cormac for the Templar Order in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue''. Whereas most people join the order to advance their career, grab for power or resentment against the Assassins, he joined the order for a purely heroic motivation - namely, stop the Assassins from triggering earthquake with First Civilization's Temples.
* ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'':
** Pretty much the only staff member we ever see of Arkham Asylum who isn't DoctorJerk, a callous brute, or corrupt and on the take is [[CanonImmigrant Doctor Joan Leland]]. A major driving reason why Arkham is such a CardboardPrison that serves to only make villains and not actually help anyone is because this woman is the only one who is actually ''trying'' to help the patients.
** "John Doe" is this for The Pact. His only real motivation for being with them is because he has the hots for Harley Quinn, and he largely seems unhinged to the point he basically [[ObliviouslyEvil doesn't realize how bad the things he's doing are]]. He's otherwise consistently friendly, loyal, and protective of Bruce even if you don't bother to return the favor [[spoiler:to a point. He's insane and violent either way, but your how you treat him determines whether he becomes a WellIntentionedExtremist who just needs help or [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope dives head first into the role of The Joker]].]]
* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy 5'' has a group of {{Bonus Boss}}es known as the Evil Players, who are all [[MirrorBoss based on the party members]]. Most of them are antagonistic, with Matteus wanting to eat the party, Natalia trying to "cleanse" the party with holy and fire magic, Lancelot trying to "optimize" the party by reducing them to raw materials, and Annabelle wanting to turn the party into hunting trophies. The final and strongest Evil Player, God, is much nicer to the party and is only fighting them in order to mentally prepare them for the FinalBoss.
* Out of the five (eventually six) [[TheEmpire Valuan admirals]] in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'', Gregorio is very honorable and only follows the empress because he subscribes to the MyCountryRightOrWrong mentality, and Belleza despises war and [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeks to put an end to the long-standing Valua-Nasr War by any means necessary]]. [[spoiler: When Galcian declares his intention to take the entire Valuan navy and go rogue, both Gregorio and Belleza turn against him, pulling {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s to allow the party (which includes the defected Valuan prince - who Gregorio is a father figure to - at this point) to escape Galcian's fortress and to kill Galcian respectively.]]
* Khamsin from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' has NoSocialSkills and is an absolute BloodKnight, two traits that saw him booted from the proper military, but he is nevertheless driven by a genuine HeroComplex, is trying to do right in the world, and even treats LQ-84i amicably. Between Mistral and Monsoon who are absolute [[PsychoForHire Psychos For Hire]], LQ-84i who's basically a slave with a RestrainingBolt, and their boss who's at absolute best a WellIntentionedExtremist who plans to raze the world and rebuild it as an anarchic mess to "free" people, Khamsin is genuinely trying to liberate the people of Abkhazia because he believes in helping them. [[spoiler:As they fed into his gullibility to use him for their own ends, this is likely the reason Mistral set him up to be killed in the end once they'd gotten what they needed out of him]].
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'': while Trickstar are trying to work out how to unseat the intimidating arm of the student council Akatsuki, Anzu meets up with Kuro, one of its members. However, he tells her straightforwardly that he dislikes the current situation as well and that while he won't defy Keito, he'll be cheering them on. But later on it's revealed that Souma also dislikes the student council, meaning that only the leader is really an antagonist. And even Keito ultimately encourages Mao to return to Trickstar, with words that imply he regrets going along with Eichi's plans.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' gives us Thomas Hall of the Hall Family. While his father Roger and brother Jack are clearly just killing survivors ForTheEvulz and using survival and self-defense as excuses to do it, Thomas clearly doesn't want any part of it and is only killing because he's being pressured into it by his family. There's no way to spare him though, as he remains aggressive even if you kill his family; presumably killing his father and brother either makes him snap and want vengeance, or it justifies their self-defense excuse to him.

* For ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', Meridia is arguably this for the Daedric Princes, as she and her followers are invested primarily in hunting down the undead, which typically pose a significant threat to mortals in the setting. That being said, Daedra typically run on BlueAndOrangeMorality, so she isn't "good" so much as "her goals align with mortals' best interest."

*** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Jecht]] is good, or at least neutral, despite being a member of the Warriors of Chaos, all composed of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' villains. Every other villain is out to either TakeOverTheWorld, or [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it]] - Jecht is just a rather lousy dad who wants to fetch his kid and go home. The reason he's siding with the villains is that [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Emperor Palamecia]] manipulated him into thinking that their victory would let him rejoin his son, Tidus. It's also revealed in the prequel that he was actually on Cosmos' side in at least the previous cycle. He probably would have remained there for the 13th cycle as well, had it not been for the Emperor's machinations.[[note]]Tidus, on Chaos' side at the time, sacrificed himself to save Yuna form one of the Emperor's attacks, prompting Jecht to transfer his life energy over to him. The Emperor, noticing Jecht's crystal (which Cosmos had provided to all of her warriors), got an idea to use them in the next cycle of conflict. From there, he kidnapped Jecht and had Chaos revive him as one of his own warriors for the following cycle.[[/note]] [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]]]], on the other hand, is a [[ReverseMole good guy posing as a villain]].

* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', if you go dark-side, by the end of the game Zaalbar will be the only remaining nice person on your team (the others have either been turned, killed, or ran away by that time), and [[EverybodysDeadDave he'll (hopelessly) attack you if you take him onto the Star Forge]].
** In ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', Vette is this to a Dark-sided Sith Warrior's party since she's the only one who isn't a murderous psychopath (Jaesa and Broonmark) or loyal to the Empire (Quinn and Pierce). The Sith Inquisitor's party has Talos Drellik, who is easily the nicest party member in a group consisting of brooding cynics (Ashara and Andronikos) and violent brutes (Khem Val and Xalek). Also, a Light Side Sith Inquisitor or a Light Side Sith Warrior would qualify as this for the Empire AND the Sith. Other Light Side Imperial player characters tend to be rather reasonable and pragmatic individuals when compared to their Dark Side counterparts.

* In ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2008'', the [[DealWithTheDevil Corrupted]] of [[GodOfEvil Ahriman]] have the [[TragicMonster Warrior]]. He was a king who needed power to save his pacifistic people from invaders, and sold his soul to Ahriman for that reason. Compare that to the motivations of the [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame Hunter]], the [[ForScience Alchemist]] and the [[FemmeFatale Concubine]]. [[spoiler:Even Elika's father sold his soul in exchange for his deceased daughter's resurrection in order to ease ''his own'' anguish.]] When the Warrior fights against Elika and the Prince, he mocks them less than the other Corrupted and [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou tells them to flee while they still can]] more than once. [[TheEmpath Elika]] senses that he loathes what he has become and [[SympathyForTheDevil shows sympathy towards him]] more than any other Corrupted [[spoiler:(except maybe her father)]], urging him to fight against Ahriman's control over him. [[spoiler:When he's finally defeated, he spends his last moments in a more positive light than the rest of the Corrupted: by begging for his people's forgiveness, [[VillainsDyingGrace throwing Elika and the Prince to a safe distance from him]] and seemingly fighting against Ahriman's control before he [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explodes]].]]

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Jecht]] in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' is good, or at least neutral, despite being a member of the Warriors of Chaos, all composed of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' villains. Every other villain is out to either TakeOverTheWorld, or [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it]] - Jecht is just a rather lousy dad who wants to fetch his kid and go home.

** To a lesser extent, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Judge Magister Gabranth]]. In the 13th cycle, he's nothing more than a disgruntled jailer who serves as a warden for those no longer used in the conflict. Several of lines are somber and hint that [[TheAtoner he wants nothing more than penance for his past transgressions]], while most of the other Chaos warriors mock him for his more admirable qualities. Compare this to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]], who serves as Team Cosmos' Token Evil Teammate (to the point that most of the villains revere her). Both of these are somewhat subverted in the prequel ''Duodecim'', as the two are actually affiliated with their respective deities this time around (however, Gabranth just seems to be [[MyMasterRightOrWrong doing his job]] and seems to be confronting Cosmos simply to end the war--thus lacking an ulterior motive unlike most of the others, while Shantotto is still a fair bit malicious, even towards her ally [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Prishe]]).
** Also, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Kuja]] is a bit of a [[TragicVillain tragic]] case. [[spoiler: He's actively working with the heroes Bartz, Zidane, and Squall, up until Kefka intervenes.]] He's even responsible for Cloud's HeelFaceTurn and [[spoiler:Terra's]] too. After he's defeated by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]], Kefka [[spoiler: implants false memories to ensure his full-on villainy in the Thirteenth Cycle.]]
* Reeve in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', [[MegaCorp Shinra's]] head of Urban Development, seems to be the only person on Shinra's board of directors with a conscience or sense of ethics. [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn He eventually defects to AVALANCHE]] as a DoubleAgent.]]

* General Leo in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' is also a known case of this. In fact, the game likes to {{lampshade|Hanging}} the fact that the only reason why Leo is considered an antagonist is that he works with the Empire.

* Among the Primals in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', there is [[ShockAndAwe Ramuh]]. Among the likes of Ifrit (who intends to brainwash everyone into his thrall) or Garuda (who wants to destroy everything except her followers), Ramuh is at worst territorial. He only wants to be summoned by his Sylph followers in case their forest home is in grave danger to protect it. Although he does believe HumansAreTheRealMonsters and is willing to bring down his judgment on them.

* In the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' series, your party battles Shadow Selves, who are physical manifestations of the worst aspects of someone's personality and almost always try to kill either their real self or your party as soon as you meet them. The sole exception is Shadow Futaba from ''VideoGame/Persona5'', who serves as a SinkOrSwimMentor for Futaba Sakura and never directly tries to harm anyone (although she does lead you into a trap from time to time).

** In ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', Vette is this to a Dark-sided Sith Warrior's party since she's the only one who isn't a murderous psychopath (Jaesa and Broonmark) or loyal to the Empire (Quinn and Pierce). The Sith Inquisitor's party has Talos Drellik, who is easily the nicest party member in a group consisting of brooding cynics (Ashara and Andronikos) and violent brutes (Khem Val and Xalek).

** Also in ''3'', Mouri Motonari is also one. He's cunning enough to realize that the balance of the dimensional world actually depends on Da Ji's presence, like it or not, so he protects and joins forces with her, despite still being the jovial laid back guy (as compared with his [[TheNeidermeyer dickish self]] in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' which wouldn't make him this trope), if you compare with those used to align with Da Ji (except Himiko above) like [[SmugSnake Masamune]], [[AxCrazy Fuuma]], [[WildCard Keiji]], [[BloodKnight Achilles]] or Dong Zhuo.

** ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' proffers some useful Good-aligned characters who could fit in well, {{statistically speaking}}, with an otherwise Evil-aligned but stastistically optimized party. Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated than that -- many characters with incompatible personalities will come to blows if left together in your party for too long.

** Also, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Kuja]] is a bit of a [[TragicVillain tragic]] case. [[spoiler: He's actively working with the heroes Bartz, Zidane, and Squall, up until Kefka intervenes.]] He's even responsible for Cloud's HeelFaceTurn and [[spoiler:Terra's]] too.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' has Linus and Lloyd, two members of the Black Fang who retain their sense of honour and hate how Sonia has corrupted the group into going after innocents, and both act as big-brother figures to Nino. Unfortunately one dies fighting your army and the other goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and won't listen to reason.

* In the end of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue Continuum Shift'', [[spoiler:Litchi ends up joining NOL as the Token Good Teammate. Unlike all other who directly served the Imperator, the reason why she joins was because her body condition got worse and the only one who'd want to give the cure for both her and Arakune is NOL, thus she has the least loyalty to the NOL and was only there for necessary self preservation and saving a beloved. Also in ''Chrono Phantasma'', she didn't undergo any EvilCostumeSwitch and retains her sane personality, thereby making her squarely on the trope.]]
** In ''Chronophantasma'', the Duodecim families are all firmly under the control of the NOL (and the Imperator by extension, and thus Hazama by extension). That is, all except for ReasonableAuthorityFigure Kagura.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'', Superman and his allies are [[FallenHero Fallen Heroes]] who seek to re-establish the Man of Steel's totalitarian Regime. They are joined by Supergirl, Superman's cousin, who wholeheartedly believes she and Supes are [[HopeBringer Hope Bringers]]. When she finds out just what Superman is up to, however, [[BrokenPedestal it crushes her]]. [[spoiler:If the player picked the BadEnding, Superman orders Supergirl to become TheDragon to his restored Regime, and threatens to convert her into a brainwashed cyborg if she refuses. Being that she's imprisoned, Superman knows that she'll be back into his fold one way or another.]]
* Both Rei and Shuu/Shew becomes this in the Dream Mode of the first ''Videogame/FistOfTheNorthStarKensRage'', on basis that the antagonist is the Nanto side, and they're both Nanto practicioners. In the real story, they would've been Kenshiro's greatest allies.
** Though Rei had much more pressing matter to join the Nanto side, [[spoiler:very similar to Litchi above. His [[MoralityPet sister Airi]] [[IHaveYourWife got taken hostage by]] [[EvilOverlord Thouzer]]]]
* General Leo in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' is also a known case of this. In fact, the game likes to {{lampshade|Hanging}} the fact that the only reason why Leo is considered an antagonist is because he works with the Empire.

* [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Cao Ren]] in ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''. In a game where Wei stores A LOT of scary looking, ambitious, jerkwad or scheming people... we got this peaceful shorty guy who just wants the chaos to end. And this is before Wei takes a swing in AntiVillain-y since the 6th game.
** And in the 7th game, even if Wei is just merely DesignatedVillain, one look at serene, compassionate poet/musician Cai Wenji amongst Wei would make you agree that she's another Token Good Teammate.
* ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur IV]]'' has this fate unfortunately befall Sophitia Alexandria, making this LadyOfWar ForcedIntoEvil. Tira shows herself to be ''[[ManipulativeBastard very]]'' GenreSavvy by designating Sophitia's daughter as a prospective host for [[EvilWeapon Soul Edge]]. In order to prevent this, Sophitia was strong-armed into working with Nightmare and co. [[TheChosenMany As the latest warrior in a long line chosen by the Greek gods]] to destroy the evil sword, Sophitia is none too thrilled about her FaceHeelTurn; however, [[MamaBear for the sake of her children]], she must [[ApologeticAttacker reluctantly]] ward off any who attempt to reach the sword, including her younger sister Cassandra and any of her previous allies. And when her other allies who are similarly manipulated in this cause was [[MadManInTheAttic Voldo]]...

** [[PunchClockVillain Beltway and Lupo]] to the rest of the Wolfpack in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'', to a ''very'' loose definition of "good"; they're still remorselessly hunting down innocent cops and civilians, but their lack of overt psychopathic tendencies still puts them over the mark compared to the rest of their team.
** Speaking of Umbrella's forces, the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service is comprised of convicted war criminals and mercenaries and home to some ''purely'' evil and psychotic people like Nikolai, but seems to contain a few of these. Carlos Oliviera is the ''one'' known member of the unit who, despite having a DarkAndTroubledPast, is a genuinely heroic man who actually wants to rescue the surviving citizens of Raccoon City and is visibly distraught by the revelation that Umbrella actually ''caused'' the viral outbreak. Other characters like Mikhael and Murphy might count as well, as well as the unnamed UBCS soldier who died defending a single civilian from a BOW, but aren't given enough development to know for sure.

* Khamsin from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRising'' has NoSocialSkills and is an absolute BloodKnight, two traits that saw him booted from the proper military, but he never the less is driven by a genuine HeroComplex, is trying to do right in the world, and even treats LQ-84i amicably. Between Mistral and Monsoon who are absolute [[PsychoForHire Psychos For Hire]], LQ-84i who's basically a slave with a RestrainingBolt, and their boss who's at absolute best a WellIntentionedExtremist who plans to raze the world and rebuild it as an anarchic mess to "free" people, Khamsin is genuinely trying to liberate the people of Abkhazia because he believes in helping them. [[spoiler:As they fed into his gullibility to use him for their own ends, this is likely the reason Mistral set him up to be killed in the end once they'd gotten what they needed out of him]].
