Evil Uncle / Video Games

• Harebrained Schemes' Battletech gives us Santiago Espinosa, who usurps the throne of The Aurigan Reach from his niece Kamea and attempts to kill her.
• In Bravely Default II, the Night's Nexus was once the sister of the ancient Musan king who gave his life to seal her away, and is thus Gloria's evil great-aunt several dozen generations or so removed.
• Unavoidable in Crusader Kings, since all children who don't inherit a title will get a claim to the title. So if your character dies, all your former brothers become this trope. It is rather common that your uncle takes up arms to get the title by force. Unless you take another succession law where your heir isn't your child, but that opens another can of worms.
• Dishonored 2 gives us Delilah Copperspoon, who usurps the throne of The Isles from her niece Emily and attempts to kill her.
• In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Orvas Dren is the leader of the Camonna Tong, the mafia-esque native Dunmeri criminal syndicate which controls Morrowind's smuggling and slaving operations. His niece, Ilmeni, is the leader of the Twin Lamps, a slave freeing organization. Naturally, as Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil, the two are at odds. You can assist Ilmeni as part of a side-quest line, while you'll need to deal with Orvas one way or another during the main quest line.
• Far Cry 4: Pagan Min. He's the self-appointed "King of Kyrat", a dictator of a small drug-manufacturing country who kills citizens for fun and profit. He also has his ex-girlfriend's son kidnapped and transported into the house of a slave torturer to dine on Crab Rangoon together. Ajay's first instinct is to run. He then gives out hints that "Uncle Pagan" is setting up Ajay as his heir... even though neither of them are blood related or royalty. He's not joking.
• In Final Fantasy XV, Ardyn is actually the brother of the ancient Lucian king who betrayed and usurped him, and is thus Noctis' evil great-uncle several dozen generations or so removed.
• Fire Emblem has many examples:
  • In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Prince Lewyn has two of these to contend with, Maios and Daccar. ( Though in the Oosawa manga, Daccar is shown to have some Hidden Depths and then goes the Redemption Equals Death way). Later on Bloom is this to Tine and if Tailtiu didn't have kids, to Linda, though he isn't as cruel to her as his wife and Tine's Aunt, Hilda was. Hilda actually tortured Tine or Linda's mother to death and has children gathered up as Human Sacrifices in her free time, lovely woman really. If the player pairs up Lex and Azelle with anyone, Danan and Arvis become Evil Uncles to their children. Of course, even if Azelle isn't paired up with anyone, Arvis is still technically this to Seliph.
  • Lord Lundgren, younger brother of Lyndis's grandfather, Hausen, in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Lundgren desires his brother's position as Marquess and is angered by the possibility of Hausen reuniting with his long-lost granddaughter. Thus, to secure his inheritance, Lundgren has his brother poisoned, frames his grandniece as an impostor, and tries to have her assassinated.
  • Radiant Dawn manages to subvert this with Queen Elincia's uncle, Lord Renning: he cares deeply for her, and wants her to take the throne. The not so good actions that Renning performed as Bertram, one of the Four Riders of Daein, came from him being Brainwashed and Crazy via a Psycho Serum.
  • It's subverted in Fire Emblem Fates: Azura's mother Queen Arete of Nohr and the Avatar's mother Queen Mikoto of Hoshido are actually good persons... who Came Back Wrong thanks to the Big Bad Anankos. Even more - Arete battles her niece/nephew, her daughter and their troops not knowing who they are since she's got Laser-Guided Amnesia. Once either of them is defeated (and in Arete's case, she recovers her memories), they die in peace and speaking to their relatives kindly.
  • In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Dimitri's paternal uncle Rufus was the unseen regent of the Kingdom of Holy Kingdom of Faerghus who gets killed during the Time Skip. The worst that was mentioned of Rufus was that his leadership was far from competent and that there were unproven rumors that he was involved in the Tragedy of Duscur that got Dimitri's father killed. Three Hopes reveals however that Rufus was in-fact complicit in the Tragedy of Duscur, and sought to kill Dimitri by means of the Uriah Gambit. At the same time, he was paranoid of Dimitri taking revenge.
    • Downplayed and ultimately subverted with Annette's paternal uncle (and Gilbert's brother) Baron Dominic, who is at worst an Anti-Villain forced into opposing the heroes due to the threat of the Empire forcibly annexing his lands if he does not. When Annette and Gilbert go to get House Dominic's Relic, Crusher, he refuses to hand it over and tries to capture them to keep them safe; when he's defeated, he happily hands the Relic over as the thrashing he'd received would at least allow him to keep up appearances.
• In Fishing Vacation it's revealed your friend's uncle murdered his wife and young daughter, seeing them as obstacles to his relationship with Sedna, an Inuit ocean goddess, and he's willing to kill other people as offerings to her too; it's strongly implied he let the two friends come to the cabin in order to sacrifice them and in at least one ending he succeeds.
• In Granblue Fantasy, Loki is this to Orchis, as it's revealed that he's Orchis' father's brother. He loathes her to the core and wishes to never hear her call him that ever. If the Black Knights's information is to be taken to any hint, it may have to do with him not approving of the marriage of Orchis's parents.
• Guenevere: Lancelot saves a princess from her Evil Aunt during one of his Time Skip adventures.
• Wilfred Hermeien from The Last Remnant. He is Marina's brother, making him Irina and Rush's uncle, who's willing to use Irina's power to control the Remnants of the world. Bonus points for seriously threatening to feed her to his pet Harpylia at one point, and pulling a knife on her at another.
• Nioh 2: "The First Samurai" DLC reveals that the main villain, Otakemaru, is the protagonist's uncle. Otakemaru himself is unaware of the relationship up until his defeat in the base game.
• Persona 5: After her mother Wakaba died, Futaba was sent to live with her uncle Youji, whose abuse (he refused to even let her have a bed) led to her present social anxiety issues. After Futaba was Happily Adopted by Wakaba's friend Soujirou (in exchange for the inheritance fund), Youji began threatening him with trumped-up abuse charges and lawsuits out of resentment towards his naturally successful sister..
• Heiss from Radiant Historia winds up hitting almost every point in the description. Jealous, childless younger brother? Check. Royalty? Check. Cain and Abel? Check. Ex-Cool Uncle? Check. Repeatedly tries to kill his niece and sends his nephew out on blatantly impossible missions? Check. However, twisting the trope a bit, he deeply and genuinely loves his nephew and considers himself a Stealth Mentor. As far as he's concerned his niece can go die in a fire, though.
• The Wedding: Uncle Jack, who is the main antagonist of the game. Except that the family didn't know about his insanity or evil deeds, until Anima went into his house and read his diary notes. Said notes indicate that he was taking pills to assume a normal demeanour when in public.
• X-Wing Alliance, Ace's uncle Antan sides with the Empire.
