8	{{Token Good Teammate}}s in VideoGames.
9	----
10
11	* ''VideoGame/AbyssCrossing'': Sylfie the Wind Astra and Boldow the Light Astra never directly antagonize humanity and are content to keep to themselves in their own domain, making them the most benevolent of the Astras. However, the two insist on fighting the party to the death in order to determine if the latter can defeat the one manipulating the Astras.
12	* Mina Tang in ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol''. The only employee of the eponymous NoSuchAgency who seems to have any sort of conscience, and also the only one of Mike Thorton's {{Mission Control}}s who care if he [[WouldNotShootACivilian kills American agents or civilians]], makes deals with arms traffickers, or commits similar acts of DirtyBusiness. [[spoiler:In the WeCanRuleTogether / ICanRuleAlone ending, Mike discovers that she's actually TheMole for the UsefulNotes/{{NSA}} in order to keep Alpha Protocol from going too far.]]
13	* 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.
14	* In ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' ironically the titular [[TheBerserker berserker]] protagonist was this for The Eight Guardian Generals, despite his violent nature he’s still a BruiserWithASoftCenter FamilyMan compared to Deus, Augus, Wyzen, Sergei, Olga and Kalrow who are power-hungry complete JerkassGods who performed TheCoup and pinned it on Asura. The other good teammate is Yasha, Asura’s brother in law who was ForcedIntoEvil by the Generals and eventually defects from Deus to helps Asura bring down their former teammates and avenge his sister.
15	* In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'', James Gordon, who is not yet TheCommissionerGordon at this point, is the one cop in Gotham who is ''not'' [[DirtyCop on the take]].
16	* ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'':
17	** Pretty much the only staff member we ever see of Arkham Asylum who isn't DrJerk, 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.
18	** "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]].]]
19	* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'':
20	** 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 has 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.]]
21	** In ''VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma'', the Duodecim families are all firmly under the control of the NOL (and the Imperator and Hazama by extension), except for ReasonableAuthorityFigure Kagura.
22	* ''VideoGame/BlueSkies2'': River joined the Holy Order of Vyena out of a genuine desire to protect innocents and disagrees with their policy of criminalizing mages. Unfortunately, this makes him a fugitive alongside the rest of the party when he tries to help Lyrelle flee from the Order.
23	* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}''
24	** 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.]]
25	** 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]] to him.
26	* 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]].
27	* William is the Super Ego among the [[SiblingTeam McCall brothers']] PowerTrio in ''VideoGame/CallOfJuarezBoundInBlood''.
28	* In many D&D games, such as ''VideoGame/IcewindDale'' or ''VideoGame/TempleOfElementalEvil'', having a paladin in your party can prevent you from having normal dialogue choices, instead getting sanctimonious tirades that ironically prevent a peaceful resolution.
29	** ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' proffers some useful Good-aligned characters who could fit in well, {{statistically speaking}}, with an otherwise Evil-aligned but statistically 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. The only exception is Imoen, who is neutral good and will stick with the main character no matter what, even if all the other companions are bloodthirsty evils or the party reputation is abysmal.
30	*** Throne of Bhaal has Balthazar, a LawfulGood monk who has teamed up with the bad guys to accomplish the goal of destroying what he sees as a great evil. Interestingly, the group itself is a part of that evil and he plans to see the entirety of it destroyed -- himself included -- in the end.
31	** In ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', Morte the flying talking skull is only good-aligned character in your neutral-aligned party. You may also become good, but it'll require some time.
32	* ''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.
33	* Credo from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' 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]].
34	* Flonne in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea\|HourOfDarkness}}''. Originally joins to understand demons and teach them about love. You get more good teammates eventually, but only very late in the game; Flonne is the Token Good Teammate of the PowerTrio you have for most of the game.
35	* ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'':
36	** The Dire side is full of monsters and generally evil beings and some neutral ones. There are a few exceptions.
37	*** [[DynamicEntry Magnus]] and [[NobleWolf Lycan]] are heroic characters looking for justice for wrongs dealt to them.
38	*** [[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.
39	*** [[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.
40	** 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]].
41	* ''{{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.
42	** In a more muted example, considering its main character is more mean than evil, the third game brings us Michael/Mikhail; while every other dragon in the series is apathetic at best to humans and actively antagonistic at worst, Michael is an honorable and noble dragon who values mankind's safety, and his reborn self Mikhail is an idealistic AllLovingHero... who is unfortunately saddled with [[GoodIsNotNice Zero]] and her growing harem of... ''questionable'' individuals, even if they never quite reach the depravity of Leonard's compatriots.
43	* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''
44	** There's 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.
45	** 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.]]
46	* [[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.
47	* 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."
48	* 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.
49	* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'' has a group of {{Superboss}}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.
50	* In the ''Franchise/{{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]]...
51	** ...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 appliances for use in 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]].
52	*** 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.
53	** 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.
54	* 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.
55	* In the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series:
56	** 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.
57	** 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.]]
58	** 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.
59	** ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'':
60	*** [[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]].
61	*** 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]]).
62	*** 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.]]
63	* A recurring theme in the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series. Nearly every game has at least one member of the antagonistic faction who is nearly entirely sympathetic, yet can't do a HeelFaceTurn, often due to MyCountryRightOrWrong.
64	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' has Camus, the one who started the trend. He often actively went against his superiors when they ordered him to KickTheDog, and yet still serves his country out of knightly honour. Having a StarCrossedLovers relationship with a major NPC makes it even worse.
65	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' has Ishtar, who's only against you because the man she loves happens to be possessed by a GodOfEvil.
66	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'' has Reinhardt, the older brother of one of the playable characters who's mostly fighting you because said GodOfEvil-possessed character thought he was getting too close to Ishtar and is attempting TheUriahGambit.
67	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'' has Gale, who was ''this'' close to actually being recruitable but was cut out at the last minute, leaving his an an extremely sympathetic boss (and with a similar StarCrossedLovers situation to Camus) and Brunnya, who is a LoveMartyr for the BigBad.
68	** ''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.
69	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' has Glen and Selena. Glen is particularly vocal about questioning Emperor Vigarde's orders, but ultimately doesn't [[spoiler:live long enough to]] join the heroes. Selena, meanwhile, is genuinely honorable, but her devotion to Vigarde proves to be a FatalFlaw. Duessel is a subversion, since he starts out this way, but actually gets to go through with his HeelFaceTurn.
70	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' has Bryce, who is aware of [[BigBad Ashnard]]'s atrocities and disapproves. He remains polite and honourable even while fighting your army.
71	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' has Hetzel for the [[DecadentCourt Begnion Senators]], the only one who isn't a corrupt racist slave-trading bastard and regrets [[spoiler: the genocide of the Herons]], and who saved Rafiel's life by buying him as a slave and releasing him. Most of his battle quotes can be summed up as either JustFollowingOrders or expressing regret for never trying to stop the other senators. Levail also serves as this to the main Begnion army, as he doesn't bear any animosity towards the party and only fights out of loyalty to his general.
72	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' has Mustafa for the Plegian generals, who's such an extreme case of this trope that he is ''entirely'' sympathetic and only fights you due to [[IHaveYourWife his king threatening his wife and child]]. Having to fight him comes as a major PlayerPunch. The Valmese Empire has [[spoiler: Yen'fay, who was literally forced into fighting due to [[SmugSnake Excellus]] threatening to kill his sister. Said sister doesn't find out until he's been killed, possibly ''by her own hand'', making this even more painful.]]
73	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' has Mauvier of the Four Hounds. He's the only member who's consistently uncomfortable with their actions, including their treatment of [[spoiler:Veyle when she isn't in her evil personality]]. He's also the only member who [[spoiler:does a HeelFaceTurn and joins the heroes, although Marni gets a RedemptionEqualsDeath moment that allows Veyle to break free of Sombron's control]].
74	* 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]].]]
75	* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'': Officer Hernandez is the junior partner to the [[CorruptCop LSPD C.R.A.S.H. division contingent]] with Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski. While the former is the BigBad ringleader of the racket that uses police authority to control the street gangs by PoliceBrutality and the latter is an unrepentant sexist and racist pig (including to Hernandez), background information reveals that Hernandez became a police officer for the noble goal of fighting crime; in a CrapsackWorld like ''GTA'', though, he's probably the only honest cop in the entire series, notably more reluctant to partake in the {{Jerkass}} behavior of Tenpenny and Pulaski when interacting with CJ. Eventually he get so fed up with it he begins informing InternalAffairs about what Tenpenny is up to. [[spoiler:Tenpenny finds out and has Pulaski kill Hernandez for it alongside CJ out in the desert to cover their tracks once the heat is on, though not before Hernandez performs a HeroicSacrifice by getting one last attack on Pulaski to give CJ a chance to escape and kill Pulaski.]]
76	* ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'': The Olympian gods are a messy, dysfunctional family, and often shows that underneath their pleasant facade to Zagreus, they're also prideful, temperamental, and vengeful. Athena and Hermes are the exception to this. The former is genuinely helping Zagreus because she believes is the right thing to do and his presence can help to mend the family, while Hermes is [[spoiler:actively working behind the scenes with Nyx and Charon to bring Persephone back to the Underworld, and is even hiding this involvement from his family]].
77	* ''VideoGame/TheHex'': [[spoiler:All of the characters are revealed to have been in on performing The Hex the entire time, and do so out of [[RageAgainstTheAuthor revenge towards their creator]], Lionel Snill. All of them except Rust, who doesn't perform The Hex out of revenge. He's the only one who doesn't declare his revenge in the end, instead seeming to believe it'll bring his dead son Rocky back.]]
78	* ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'': Korsica, Head of Security at Vandelay Technologies, is the only one of the six heads of the company that isn't narcissistic, petty, or megalomaniacal. She's simply a dedicated worker who embraces the philosophy that Roxanne Vandelay set up for the company and would rather resolve things in a straightforward manner. Her greater moral character is likely why Kale kept her in the dark about SPECTRA's true nature, and [[spoiler:she ultimately pulls a HeelFaceTurn after finding out what Kale is really up to (coupled with his attempt on her life after she decided to investigate)]].
79	* [[spoiler:Raiden Mei]] in ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd''. To be fair, there are other decent members of World Serpent (such as [[PunchClockVillain Raven]]), to the point that it [[MoralityKitchenSink can be argued whether this organization is truly evil]]. They are, however, responsible for numerous innocent deaths as well as dangerous, immoral expariments and she is the only one whose hands are completely clean.
80	* ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'':
81	** ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'': The Regime has ComicBook/{{Shazam}}, who is by far the nicest member of the regime. He is only in it due to him truly believing it is the best thing for the world, and even then is the only one who openly questions if their actions are right. He is also the first one to realize how far the regime has gone when Superman attempts to destroy Metropolis and Gotham to set an example.
82	** In ''VideoGame/Injustice2'', 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.]]
83	* Aside from its numerous defectors, [[NebulousEvilOrganisation NESTS]] from ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'' has two that are relatively noble people, yet still obey the organization for their own reasons: Zero, who was rightfully horrified by what his clone was doing behind his back and [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen is not interested in cheating in order to win]], and Nameless, who goes along with their activities without question in hopes of being able to see [[TheLostLenore Isolde]] again.
84	* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
85	** [[TheRival Riku]] is this during his time working for Maleficent's Council in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]]. Unlike the rest of the group, Riku has no interest in taking over the worlds and only works with them as part of his mission to get Kairi her heart back.
86	** Among the members of Seifer's gang in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', there's Vivi, who is by far the nicest member of the group, and seems to only really follow the rest of them due to his [[HeroWorshipper hero-worship]] of Seifer. Notably, he's also the only member of the gang who wasn't an antagonist in their home game, being a party member of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', while the rest were all antagonists of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''.
87	** While most of the members of both incarnations of [[StandardEvilOrganizationSquad Organization XIII]] are unambiguously bad people, there are a few exceptions.
88	*** Roxas, Axel, and Xion are, collectively, the least evil members of the original Organization. Roxas and Xion aren't evil at all, only working as a part of the Organization because they believe it's the only thing they can do, while Axel starts out as just as evil as the rest of the group, but slowly [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] into a far more heroic figure. Sooner or later of each other, all 3 eventually pull a HeelFaceTurn and abandon the Organization.
89	*** Besides the trio, Luxord is this for both the original Organization and the XIII Seekers of Darkness. He's far and away the most [[AffablyEvil affable]] member of either group, is the only member alongside Axel to treat [[TheChewToy Roxas and Xion]] with anything close to something resembling respect, and shows no animosity towards [[TheHero Sora]] whenever they encounter each other, resulting in the two striking up a [[WorthyOpponent strange sort of respect]]. Even after he's defeated in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' he tells Sora before he returns to his original body that he looks forward to meeting Sora again as a friend.
90	*** When it comes to the XIII Seekers of Darkness, [[spoiler:Xion once again plays this role, only working for the group due to her new [[ArtificialHuman Replica]] body lacking her heart, rendering her a soulless puppet. As soon as she gets her heart back, she's quick to defect from the group]].
91	** While none of the Foretellers are outright ''evil'' characters, Ava is the only one among the group who can be considered a completely good person. She's the only member of the group who never uses any morally ambiguous methods to achieve her goals, and is noted to be the only Foreteller who never attempted to use anyone else as a pawn in a scheme.
92	* ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' has two for the Wave 2 and Wave 3 Dream Friends.
93	** [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards Adeleine]] is this to the Wave 2 Dream Friends. [[VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad Daroach]] managed to pull a HeelFaceTurn at the end of his game, but he's mostly an AntiHero at best who's out to find the Dark Hearts to add to his collection of treasure. [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror Dark Meta Knight]], meanwhile, is a full-on TokenEvilTeammate who is a NominalHero and is heavily implied to still be drawn to darkness, suggesting that he wants to find a new dark master to serve, or because he's drawn to the Dark Heart's dark energy.
94	** [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Taranza]] of the Wave 3 Dream Friends. Both [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Magolor]] and [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Susie]] are ReformedButNotTamed in their own ways: Magolor still pulled a HeelFaceTurn by building Kirby an amusement park [[spoiler:after fighting through the depths of Another Dimension to destroy the [[ArtifactOfDoom Master Crown]]]], but he's TheGadfly who loves to trick others [[spoiler:and even reveals to have some resentment towards Kirby, as revealed in ''[[VideoGameRemake Return to Dream Land Deluxe's]]'' True Arena fight with Magolor Soul]], while Susie is FauxAffablyEvil and the only one of the three who ''doesn't'' turn good, instead intent on reviving the Haltmann Works Company. Of the three, Taranza is the only one who's more or less good, and the only one who is a PunchClockVillain.
95	** There's also the new mid-boss Vividria. [[AmbiguouslyRelated If she really is related to]] [[VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse Drawcia]] and Paintra, then she's the only one of the three who becomes a friend of Kirby's.
96	* The original ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' lore, prior to its 2014 reboot, had several examples in its villainous factions:
97	** First, the Noxus faction has Riven, a proud believer of Noxians that the ones with strength should rule, except that she pretty much went into self-exile (hence her title being TheExile) because she completely disagreed with how the current Noxus runs and seeing her teammates die to friendly-fire was the last straw. Still, she's still proud of her Noxian heritage so she still kinda counts. Her post-reboot self has a much more complicated relationship with her homeland, choosing to voluntarily live as an exile in the land she was once sent to conquer and only returning when confronted with the risk of her adoptive Ionian father dying--making her less a token heroic teammate and more a DefectorFromDecadence.
98	** Zaun, the faction where ScienceIsBad may as well be its slogan, has Zac, a BlobMonster LivingWeapon who is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. He's in fact a personable, boisterous guy who is not really interested in abusing his freedom in most extreme methods like most other Zaunites pre-reboot. His post-reboot self, while still good, is part of a much more morally complex Zaun characterized more by an interplay of desperation and oppression than straight-up MadScience villainy--and is also joined by Ekko, Zeri, and Blitzcrank as unambiguously good Zaunites.
99	** The Shadow Isles, home of various death-dealing undead, has a hulking gravedigger named Yorick, who is only in the League to preserve his dead family's lineage rather than adding more to the collection of dead souls. His post-reboot self is a CreepyGood gravedigger-monk who opposes the Ruined King's forces (with Maokai as a non-allied compatriot in that struggle), but is certainly not their teammate.
100	** The Winter's Claw faction in Freljord has Volibear. Unlike his more rude and ruthless compatriots (Sejuani and Olaf), Volibear is a peace-loving bear only interested in protecting his clan and recognizes that only through war that true peace can be attained. He's also MUCH calmer than his compatriots. Averted by his post-2014 lore counterpart, where he's an independent demigod who seeks a return to a time when his old Vorrijaard was ruled by tooth and claw.
101	** The post-2014 lore has examples of its own, though there's much more emphasis on conflict between factions within each region than between each region as a whole.%% (This means the bar for "token good member of a faction" is set at the factional level instead of the regional one.)
102	*** Udyr takes Volibear's place as the Winter's Claw's primary "good" advisor, helping in part due to loyalty to Sejuani's mother Kalkia and in part due to a desire to preserve the Freljord's conflict-driven spirit ecosystem from the Avarosans and Frostguard. Olaf is possibly a downplayed example--as he's driven more by a desire to [[DeathSeeker die in glorious battle]] (despite a prophecy saying he'd die of old age) than a desire to take from the weak, he's ended up on the side of good to hunt monsters surprisingly often.
103	*** Commander Ledros, former military colleague and mutually unrequited love of [[VengefulGhost Kalista]] and current denizen of the Shadow Isles, spent a millenium repeatedly trying to return Kalista to her senses--even quitting that, he still seeks a way to end the Ruination and with it his love's torment. He still fights the party as an optional boss in ''VideoGame/RuinedKing'', however, despite having no particular reason to fulfill his old role as the Ruined King's Shield.
104	*** Back when they were alive and part of the military and/or royalty of the bloodthirsty, glory-obsessed kingdom of Camavor, Kalista, Queen Isolde, and Commander Ledros each had a tendency towards this trope.
105	*** In ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'', Varus is presented as having the potential to become this in comparison to the other Darkin--as the minds of his fused host end up helping him remember his own lost humanity. He's still on Aatrox's side as far as opposing [[PeoplePuppets Xolaani]] goes, but it's not likely he'll aid Aatrox in his omnicidal crusade beyond that.
106	* ''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.
107	* Out of the entire cast of ''VisualNovel/LiarLiar'', Tanaka is the only one who doesn't show some level of AxCrazy or LoveMakesYouCrazy.
108	* ''VideoGame/LonelyWolfTreat'': Moxie and the other foxes set up shop near the rabbit village for the express purpose of catching and eating the rabbits there. The fox Chai, however, just spends their days working at a grocery store and never shows interest in eating anybody.
109	* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' has Madame Clairvoya, who is the only ghost not out to kill Luigi. In fact, she actively helps him seek out Mario. [[spoiler:Once she's finished helping Luigi, she goes into his Poltergust without a struggle. (However, she still drops poison mushrooms.)]]
110	* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' continues this trend with Morty, a ghost film director. He's more interested in filming his next movie than trying to kill Luigi, and he freely hands over the elevator button once production is finished. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Luigi can still vacuum him up once the chapter is completed.]]
111	* 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.
112	* In ''Videogame/MassEffect3'', a recording of the Illusive Man reveals that [[spoiler:he tried to manipulate Shepard into joining Cerberus by surrounding Shepard with Cerberus' Token Good Teammates]] during ''Videogame/MassEffect2'', making this the rare case of this trope being actually [[EnforcedTrope enforced]]. It also revealed ''why'' it's rarely enforced; [[spoiler:the entire crew defected en masse at the first opportunity.]]
113	* 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.
114	--> '''Sword Man:''' Nice shot.
115	* 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]].
116	* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': The Ocelots are rude and arrogant -- except Lukas, who's surprisingly helpful and friendly. Petra will {{lampshade}} this during the Wither Skull segment.
117	* ''VideoGame/MyChildLebensborn'':
118	** 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 coworkers are even described as nice and considerate compared to [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer the rest of the town]].
119	** Liv, the child's best friend, zig-zags this. She eventually caves to peer pressure in terms of her treatment of the child, but after things get bad enough, [[spoiler:she starts being friendly to the child again, if in secret]].
120	** Mr. Berg is the only teacher who appreciates how hard the child is working in school, while the two other teachers mentioned are acting like {{Sadist Teacher}}s towards the child. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Mr. Berg eventually leaves]].
121	* 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]].
122	* ''VideoGame/NintendoWars'': In his first appearance, Cyrus from ''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]]]]. Brenner's Wolves becomes this for a brief bit for the army of Rubinelle when serving Greyfield, 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]]. Davis is this within the New Rubinelle Army proper, as he's the only non-{{Mook\|s}} member who doesn't participate in any atrocities, despite also being a DirtyCoward like his peers.
123	* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'':
124	** Amongst the many [[CorruptCorporateExecutive crooked executives]] that run the [[MegaCorp Vishkar Corporation]], Symmetra is the only one who has her morals straight and genuinely cares about the welfare of the innocents, making her an AntiVillain at worst.
125	** Sigma is the only member of [[NebulousEvilOrganization Talon]] who isn’t a scumbag criminal of some stripe. He’s just [[TragicMonster an innocent scientist who was driven mad by an experiment gone wrong]] that gave him [[BadPowersGoodPeople terrifying powers]]. His [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} disconnection from reality]] is so bad that [[ObliviouslyEvil he doesn’t even know he’s working for the bad guys]]; they’ve led him to believe they’re a philanthropic organization working to further the progress of science.
126	* TheMedic from ''VideoGame/{{Payday 2}}'' is the only [[EliteMook Special]] who isn't a RabidCop.
127	* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
128	** When it comes to the ''Persona'' series (or, really, the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' franchise as a whole), gods are usually portrayed as [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]] at best or [[GodIsEvil outright evil]] at worst. As a result, it often comes as a surprise when a god is introduced that turns out to be genuinely, unambiguously good. Among these include the series' two {{Big Good}}s, Philemon, the AnthropomorphicPersonification of humanity's potential to do good, his assistant, Igor, who takes over Philemon's role for ''VideoGame/Persona3'' onward, and [[spoiler:[[DontFearTheReaper Zen]]]] from ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'', who [[spoiler:even after [[AmnesiacGod remembering his status as a god]], still chooses to fight alongside the heroes]].
129	** ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
130	*** Unlike the rest of the Palace Targets, most of whom are unrepentantly evil (and the two who aren't, [[spoiler:Sae Niijima and ''[[UpdatedReRelease Royal]]'''s Takuto Maruki]], are still portrayed as [[AntiVillain Anti-Villains]] at best), the Ruler of the fourth Palace, Futaba Sakura, is a genuinely good person who ''actually asks'' the Phantom Thieves to change her own heart in the hope that it will get rid of her trauma. This even extends to her Shadow self, who serves as a SinkOrSwimMentor for Futaba and never directly tries to harm anyone (although she does lead the Thieves into a trap from time to time).
131	*** Among the minor targets in the game, the targets encountered in [[spoiler:the Da'at level of Mementos in ''Royal'''s third semester]] are this, as their actions that cause them to become a target for the Thieves come from genuine issues rather than outright malice like other targets.
132	** 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 actions 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.
133	** Among the Jail Monarchs of ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', Mariko Hyodo is this. While all of the Monarchs are portrayed as {{Tragic Villain}}s, their goals are still overall inherently selfish ones. That is, with the exception of Mariko, whose actions stem from feelings of guilt rather than anger like the other Monarchs, and who has a genuinely [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned goal of wanting to stamp out corruption in Sapporo's political staff and make the city a better place, even if it requires brainwashing people to vote for her so that she'll get reelected as mayor]].
134	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
135	** Surprisingly, [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Cipher]], the most evil organization in the franchise, has one in [[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness Eldes]], one of the two sons of the Cipher leader. He hates Cipher's actions and is nothing but nice to innocent persons. When he realizes that Michael can single-handedly take out Cipher, Eldes helps him by trying to convince his father and brother to just give up. He succeeds with his father when Michael defeats the three, but sadly fails with his brother, Ardos.
136	** Tornadus and Thundurus from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' are a pair of JerkassGods who delight in causing mischief and mayhem across Unova. The third of their ilk, Landorus, is far more benevolent than the two, providing fertile land for farmers and actively putting a stop to the pair's rampages when they start.
137	** In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', the [[EldritchAbomination Ultra Beasts]] are, if not necessarily evil, a destructive threat to both humans and Pokémon. The one exception to this is Cosmog, who's less dangerous and far more friendly than other Ultra Beasts. By extension, [[spoiler:its evolutions, Solgaleo and Lunala,]] also fall under this trope.
138	* ''VideoGame/PrimalRage'': Blizzard is the only one of the gods who can be called an outright good guy, as the other so called "Virtuous Beasts", while not actively malevolent, tend to regard humans as [[PunyEarthlings nuisances]] or [[ToServeMan dinner.]]
139	* 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]].]]
140	* ''VideoGame/RaveHeart'': Downplayed with Milo, a member of the Star Raiders. Most of the Star Raiders are ill-tempered brutes who peddle addictive drugs, but Milo is more [[AffablyEvil affable]] to the party and is willing to earn money legitimately through his mercenary contacts. He's still not the nicest person around, since he's willing to abandon Chad in order to steal a shuttle for himself, though he at least has the decency to leave behind a key so that Chad can pilot a different shuttle.
141	* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has quite a few:
142	** [[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.
143	** 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.
144	** 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]].
145	*** 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.
146	** 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.]]
147	* ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheThirdPower'': Deconstructed. Prince Gage is relatively more ethical than most of the other Arkadyan authority figures, which is why Arielle thinks the Resistance can convince him to cooperate with them. [[spoiler:However, he turns out to be complicit in Arkadya's purge of dissenters and undesirables, which permanently lowers Arielle's respect for him even after he joins the Resistance. Despite his attempts to live a moral life, he is influenced by Arkadyan propaganda and is underneath the emperor in the chain of command, making it inevitable that he'd be complicit in atrocities.]]
148	* Alex in ''VideoGame/TheSakabashiraGame'' is the only one of the seven participants who isn't an anti-social jackass (Bella, Harold and Evan), a violent murderer ([[spoiler:Cool, Marjorie and again Evan]]), or [[spoiler:secretly an EldritchAbomination (Ceci)]].
149	* 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]].
150	* 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.]]
151	* In ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'', we have [[JiveTurkey Dimitri]] to the rest of the Klaww Gang. Compared to the rest of the gang he's a fairly small-time crook who really only wants to make a ton of money and retire rich, and actually seems more interested in his ''legitimate'' life as a club owner and artist than as a criminal. He also seems to be a somewhat BenevolentBoss, actually encouraging his {{mooks}} rather than threatening them and even promising ''them'' immense wealth at the end of their scheme. He's even perfectly willing to simply bribe Sly to leave him alone, only letting things [[ItsPersonal get personal]] when Sly insults his suit. So much so that, by the time ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves'' rolls around, he actually pulls a full HeelFaceTurn and joins the Cooper Gang when they help him recover his grandfather's diving equipment, eventually going fully straight.
152	* ''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]]...
153	* ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'': While none of the [[spoiler:members of Deep Cut]] [[AntiVillain are really "evil"]], they're pretty abrasive in their boss fights. Except for [[spoiler:Big Man]], who is the first one to hint at the group's true well-intentioned motivations instead of just boasting or trash talking.
154	* In ''Franchise/StarWars'' video games:
155	** 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.
156	** 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.]]
157	** ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'':
158	*** 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).
159	*** The game also introduced the concept of Light Sith, Sith who fully believe in the SocialDarwinist tenets of their ReligionOfEvil but are GenreSavvy enough to recognize that TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget and stay away from it. It's possible for a [[VillainProtagonist Sith Warrior/Inquisitor]] PlayerCharacter to follow this path, and subsequently become the OnlySaneMan in TheEmpire operating on [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned]] PragmaticVillainy in defiance of their comrades' StupidEvil. The concept is explored further in ''Literature/DarthPlagueis'' with Darth Gravid, a Sith Lord who recognized how self-destructive their religion was and went mad trying to reconcile it with Jedi teachings. [[BadassNormal Other Light Side Imperial player characters]] also tend to be rather reasonable and pragmatic individuals when compared to their Dark Side counterparts.
160	* 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.
161	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': On paper, the Pyro is by far the friendliest member of Team Fortress, intending to spread joy wherever they go instead of following their job to kill people. Unfortunately, they operate under a completely different perception of the world, [[ObliviouslyEvil having no idea that shooting out rainbows at babies equates to burning people alive with a flamethrower]].
162	* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'':
163	** Jinpachi Mishima is the only member of the Mishima family to not be power-hungry (Heihachi, Kazumi) or a fallen hero (Kazuya, Jin). The only time he's ever done anything bad was when he was possessed by a demonic force. The HeroicBastard son of Heihachi Lars, is also a good person like his grandfather.
164	** Among the Williams family, Steve Fox Nina’s in-vitro fertilised son, compared the rest of his relatives is this. Unlike his mother, aunt and grandfather he’s not a ProfessionalKiller but instead a NiceGuy boxer. Sadly his efforts to try reach out to his villainous mother have been met with cold rejection as Nina (though unwilling to physically hurt him) doesn’t want Steve in her life.
165	* 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.
166	* 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:
167	** 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.
168	** 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.
169	** 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]].
170	* ''VideoGame/VengefulGuardianMoonrider'': The Guardians are a group of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot bio-mechanical ninjas]] with ElementalPowers who help the corrupt and oppressive Penrai Government kill all those who oppose them. [[PlayerCharacter Moonrider]] is the only Guardian with a properly functioning conscience and fights against the others, although [[spoiler:his ArmorPiercingQuestion to [[BlowYouAway Stormdiver]] makes her question her motives too, allowing her to defect and save him after his HeroicSacrifice later on]].
171	* 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.
172	** 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]].
173	* 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.
