Ambition Is Evil	comment	There's a character who aims to improve their situation in life, be it in terms of money, fame, or power. There is a high probability of this character starting out as evil or becoming evil very quickly. The Visionary Villain and Well-Intentioned Extremist will do horrible things to achieve their Heaven on Earth; The Social Darwinist and The Sociopath will commit every act of crime and manipulation to move up the ranks; the Corrupt Corporate Executive began as a dirt-poor proletarian who wanted to live wealthy, etc. Upon attaining this power, they'll likely forget whatever it was they wanted it for in the first place. The Illusion of Pride, and the inevitable tale of Tragedy for the one who dared to be ambitious is likely. Fictional and Real Life moral codes have a tendency to demonstrate Selfishness, Greed, Pride, Megalomania, and Machiavellian Chronic Backstabbing Disorder as a consequence of the catch-all term "ambition". If you consult a dictionary it's broader than that. Ambition is the same thing that motivates some heroes to make the world a better place, but in that case, it's more likely to be called "Hope". This trope is one of the reasons why Villains Act, Heroes React. Villains who don't have great ambitions would not plot grand schemes and motivate story driving conflicts such as Take Over the World or Utopia Justifies the Means, and, therefore, would be boring and petty. It is possible to write an "ambitionless" villain — see For the Evulz — but they risk coming off as a Generic Doomsday Villain. Usually justified when the existing society is an evil dystopia, or otherwise flawed — "advancing" in such a society would generally mean complying with or encouraging its systemic injustices.note If a person aims to overthrow or otherwise take power over this society's government, then it might not be evil, depending on how they plan on dealing with the aforementioned injustices. Also justified when ambition, or other emotions, is the personification of evil itself. Can happen as a result of Status Quo Is God. Normally used as an heavy-handed Aesop about what's really important. Unfortunately ends up in a Broken Aesop that teaches us Evil Is Cool (or at least open to social progress). The Svengali, since their goal is usually to profit through their (supposed) protege, will usually be an example of this, and turn their protege into one, unless they realize in time. This is a common trait of The Starscream; indeed, it's often what makes them The Starscream. The heroic converse of this trope is To Be a Master, where the hero is motivated by ambition. Note that heroes tend to pursue "healthy" goals such as strength and knowledge, while villains are more likely to be after power or money, usually for their own benefit and no one else's and at other people's expense. For some reason, while even high levels of ambition are bad, equal or greater levels of determination are usually presented as good, or at least not bad. If you have high levels of both, you're The Unfettered. Heaven help the character intending to use their super powers this way; it guarantees Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!. If a character wants to rise above the level of their fellows, it might be a case of The Complainer Is Always Wrong. This, in a way, is the inverse of Living Is More than Surviving, where achieving more than the most basic things people can do is seen as good. See also Pride, Personal Gain Hurts and Evil Virtues. Compare with Drunk with Power. Contrast with Self-Made Man and Go-Getter Girl, who pursue their ambitions, and arenâ€™t (necessarily) evil, as well any Rags to Riches story where The Protagonist means to become rich. Compare/Contrast Ambitious, but Lazy, in which ambition without a work ethic is evil, rather than ambition itself being evil.

Ambition Is Evil / int_10321784	comment	Disgaea 4: This is the sin that sent Fuka Kazamatsuri straight to hell. At the tender age of five, she wanted to Take Over the World, and begged her Mad Scientist father for a little sister who would also double as a Person of Mass Destruction and her own personal Dragon. Once in the Netherworld, she first tries to take over Hades (as she was sick of being treated poorly as a Prinny), then tries to take over the entire Netherworld, and then tries to take over the Human World as well! It's apparently such a big enough sin that in The Fuka and Desco Show she is effectively banned from reincarnation after she and her sister Take Over the World! Though that doesn't bother her too much and declares the Netherworld and Celestia are next.

By having an ambition and drive strong enough that the Powers That Be recognize it and grant you Elemental Powers so you can achieve whatever you set out to accomplish. There are examples of immoral characters who go to extreme ends to achieve their goals, and some characters who believe this trope is in effect like the Raiden Shogun, but overall the view the game takes of ambition is very positive.

Ambition Is Evil / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins: Bhelen Aeducan is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wants to drag the dwindling dwarf kingdom into the modern-day, and isn't above poisoning his own family to get on the throne. Should you put him in power, his very first act as king is to execute his rival, followed by unleashing assassins on all his rivals' families, and institutes martial law. Unfortunately, he also happens to be the only leader whose good side is sane; he also opens trading deals with the outside world and gives jobs and rights to casteless dwarves, which manages to save thousands of dwarves from their ultra-conservative hellhole. If the other guy wins, the dwarves continue to be ruled under a dysfunctional, isolationist Decadent Court that repeatedly fails its citizens. Dragon Age II: Anders is the only one who shows any kind of ambition towards ending the templar/mage conflict. He blows up the Chantry so there can be no compromise between the two sides. Merrill also has shades of this trope. Her ambition to link her people with their past prompts her to try and restore a broken mirror that's a portal for a demon to re-enter the world from the Fade. While she herself survives, this goal gets at least Keeper Marethari killed, if not the entire clan she was trying to help. Snarky!Hawke plays this straight, being one of the few unambiguously good characters in the game. Despite their actions pissing off more than a few people in the process, Snarky!Hawke acts out of a desire to help people with no reward, has no real goals other than protecting their friends and family and at the end of the day, simply desires nothing more than to head down to The Hanged Man for a drink among friends. Played very straight with siblings Varric and Bartrand. The former is a party member, has no patience for "dwarven honor" and is happy to hang out at the Hanged Man drinking and telling stories. The latter is obsessed with reclaiming his family's legacy, incredibly unpleasant to work for, and leaves you all to die with a little push from an Artifact of Doom. Dragon Age: Inquisition: One of the potential companions of the Inquisition, Vivienne, was pretty much described in the promotional material as 'The Ambition'. She's not evil per se, but self-serving, and she tends to cause conflicts with other companions. Being a player of The Game, she's willing to climb the ladder of a society that despises mages like her, no matter how much they piss her off. If she's elected Divine (bad idea), she'll oppress other mages to consolidate power.

It's worth noting that both of these actions are to achieve his dream of building a high-tech studio, which he hopes can allow his former fellow bohemians to actually make money off of their art.

Ambition Is Evil / int_1b021fcb	comment	Tokyo Ghoul explores this trope, particularly in the sequel, :Re. Seidou Takizawa is quite vocal about his desire to get promoted, and this is one reason he frequently clashes with his rival, Akira Mado. At one point, they get into a drunken argument concerning whether being promotion-focused is bad or not. But when push comes to shove, he risks his career by disregarding direct orders and goes in search of a wounded Amon. In the sequel, he plays the trope straight — his thirst for power seems to have played a part in his Transhuman Treachery. Kuki Urie's ambitions might be fueled by an understandable desire to avenge his father, but the methods he uses establish him firmly as the Token Evil Teammate of the Quinx Squad. Though assigned as their acting Squad Leader, he refuses to work with the others....unless, of course, he can use them to achieve his own ends. Intensely jealous of Sasaki's strength, he looks for ways to undermine his leadership and increase his own power even when warned against doing so. After his actions cause him to be dismissed as Squad Leader, he begins plotting ways to destroy the team from within in order to discredit Shirazu. It becomes a case of Be Careful What You Wish For: Urie gets his position back and receives credit for bringing down one of Aogiri's most prominent members... because Shirazu sacrificed himself to create an opening. Urie tries to convince Shirazu to live by promising him all the credit, and is left crushed by his friend's loss. Matsuri Washuu is this trope incarnate. The heir of the illustrious Washuu Clan, he is infamous even among his clan for his ambition and callous disregard for human life. Operations he supervises are known for having incredible success rates, but also extreme loss of life in the process. He actively schemes against his colleagues and his own father, with many within the organization concerned about what would happen if he manages to take over. When asked point-blank whether seeing the bodies of his subordinates makes him feel anything, Matsuri states that it doesn't while looking like he'd been asked a stupid question.

During his more reflective moments, Ichigo makes much of becoming more powerful so that he can better protect the people he cares about, even if he's doing it by using his Superpowered Evil Side. Combined with With Great Power Comes Great Insanity around the 350th chapter/the final stages of his fight with Ulquiorra, where the latest upgrade to his Superpowered Evil Side only appears interested in protecting Orihime, and will casually attempt to kill anyone else who gets in his way — like, for instance, Uryu. Played straight with Big Bad Aizen. His unlimited ambition is the sole reason for all his evil. Inverted with Starrk, one of the few amicable arrancar. He has a very similar backstory to Aizen, with the biggest difference in their Character Development coming from Starrk's extreme laziness.

This means Ambitious vassals are more likely to rebel. Furthermore, its opposed trait, Content, gives a piety bonus. So, it's not so much "ambition makes you evil" as it is "ambition makes you a pain in the rear".

Ambition Is Evil / int_23945975	comment	Various villains and antagonists of the Disney Animated Canon are as ambitious as they are evil in their goals and actions: In Aladdin, this is practically Jafar's M.O. His goal was to become the Sultan of Agrabah, even though being the Grand Vizier already makes him a pretty high-ranking official. Then when he gets his hands on Genie, he uses one of his wishes to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world, conquering Agrabah almost effortlessly soon afterwards. And not even that was enough; Aladdin plays into Jafar's pride by pointing out that Genie is still more powerful than Jafar on accounts of the fact that he gave him his powers in the first place and that someone could theoretically wish said powers away. Jafar thus decides to use his last wish to become a genie himself, not realizing the downside until it's too late. The plot of The Aristocats is kickstarts when Edgar, the butler of Madame Bonfamille kidnaps his mistress' cats to leave them in the wilderness. He does so after he learns that Madame Bonfamille has made her cats her sole heirs, while Edgar hoped to get hands on her fortune thanks to his long service. Beauty and the Beast has Gaston, the village's full-of-himself handsome guy, who to Belle's dismay wants to marry her and make her his Trophy Wife. He goes to great lenght to make her marry him, including kidnapping her father and attacking the Beast once he learns about his existence. In Cinderella, Lady Tremain would do anything to ensure her ranks and even improv them, especially once the chance to marry off one of her daughters to the prince occurs. While ambition plays a part, most of her abuse against Cinderella in the movie is possibly more out of spite and For the Evulz. In The Emperor's New Groove Yzma's ambition to rule the Inka kingdom leads her to trying to outright murder king Kuzco - unfortunately for her, her Minion with an F in Evil Kronk screws the magic poisons up and he is transformed into a lama instead. Prince Hans in Frozen (2013). There was no way he'd inherit the throne to his own kingdom since he was the thirteenth-born son, so he plotted to marry into the royal family of Arendelle, kill Elsa, and assume the throne. Frozen II reveals that in Arendelle's backstory, Anna and Elsa's grandfather, King Runerad attacked the forrest tribe to get access to the magic they seem to control. Professor Ratigan, Basil's Arch-Enemy in The Great Mouse Detective and an Expy of Professor Moriaty, uses his incredible intellect to get money and power from his evil doings. His ultimate plan - besides killing his nemesis - includes stealing the crown from the Mouse Queen. Hercules has Hades who plans to rule the cosmos - and get revenge on his brother Zeus. His M.O. are shady deals which he tries on Hercules. He eventually fails. In The Little Mermaid (1989) Ursula was kicked out of Atlantica because she attacked King Triton and tried to seize the throne. Then, when Ariel, who has a Deal with the Devil with her, comes too close to getting that first kiss that would undo Ursula's plans, she [[spoiler:sabotages that by transforming into Vanessa and using Ariel's voice to hypnotize the prince, just so Ariel would remain her slave. Then, even after promising Triton to release Ariel in exchange for his magical trident, she tries and fails to kill Ariel. To top it all off, she goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and tries to kill everyone because of how badly her plans have been mucked up. The Lion King (1994) has another example of The Usurper with Scar, Simba's Evil Uncle. He successfully kills his brother Mufasa and becomes new king of the Pride Lands. The Princess and the Frog: Doctor Facilier is an Evil Voodoo Witch Doctor who with the help of his "Friends From The Other Side" seeks for money and power. He also pushes Lawrence, Prince Naveen's loyal servant, to the evil side by promising him to make his life better. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has the Evil Queen who - like in the original fairy tale - wants to proof she's the most beautyful woman. For that goal, she attempts to outright murder Snow White. Mother Gothel in Tangled is an Immortality Seeker who kidnaps and imprisons Rapunzel, using her magical hair to give her eternal youth. Once Rapunzel escapes her prison, she does anything to get the source of her youth back.

Ambition Is Evil / int_261c8d3f	comment	Deconstructed in the Season 22 Simpsons episode "Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life." Lisa Simpson spends an episode dreading ending up like Marge and transfers to an elite private school. Sitcom law dictates that the children there must be insufferable snobs, sending her running back to good ol' Springfield Elementary. Instead, the school suits her perfectly and looks like it absolutely would improve her chances in life. But late in the episode, she discovers the long hours Marge works to cover the tuition. The discovery leads to her lying about how the children are snobs and how she'd rather turn out like Marge, feeling guilty about the strain her attending private school puts on her mother. The lesson here being that ambition itself may not be evil, but fulfilling it can be, because it requires not caring who you have to step on to get ahead.

Ambition Is Evil / int_2664f44a	comment	Many of the villains in Like a Dragon embody this concept, though few are as tragic as Akira Nishikiyama. Originally an orphan just like his friend Kazuma Kiryu, he joined the Dojima family with the desire to reap the lavish riches of the high-ranking yakuza. However, as time went on, he began to grow jealous of Kiryu's recognition with his peers and superiors as well as winning the heart of Yumi Sawamura, a fellow orphan he pined for but only had eyes for Kiryu, feeling like he could never measure up. It came crashing down the night Nishiki shot and killed their Oyabun Sohei Dojima after he tried to rape Yumi, and Kiryu took the fall and went to jail. A combination of his guilt, the lack of respect his peers gave him and admitting they wanted Kiryu to be their leader, Yumi losing her memory thanks to the trauma and vanishing, and eventually his sick sister Yuko dying over the course of 10 years caused Nishiki to cast aside his personal ties and do whatever it'd take to rise to the top of the yakuza world in an attempt to regain control of his life and be respected. By the end of the first game, he tried to kill Kiryu several times, was willing to try and hurt Yumi and her daughter Haruka, had the man he viewed as a father figure shot and killed a woman who loved him and ultimately died shooting a bomb on the 10 billion yen he betrayed his loved ones for, vowing to make things right with his own death.

Tigress is quite overachieving in the beginning, but it's mostly to reinforce her worth in the eyes of Shifu, the citizens of the Valley, and her teammates. Nevertheless, it's these traits and the feeling of being pushed aside by an incoming (and seemingly undeserving) student that drives much of her cruel treatment towards Po. Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2. First, he invents the cannon with plans to use it to make himself more powerful. When his family's Soothsayer predicts that he will be defeated by "a black and white warrior", his response is to try to murder a nearby village of pandas. By the time the film's events roll around, he wants nothing less than to conquer all of China.

Similarly, Danzo was a political rival to the Third Hokage who sought to impose his warlike ideals on the village with means from covert operations to using his mind control powers to seize the Hokage title after Tsunade goes into a coma. Averted for several characters too, most notably Naruto himself, who wants to be Hokage one day and by Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, whose boundless ambition to change the world created the entire system of hidden ninja villages and drastically reduced the Crapsackiness of the world. This is also inverted with some villains like Nagato, Tobi, and Madara since their wanting to change the world is viewed in a very positive light. But how they wanted to change it is where they gets into trouble.

Judith Bellero, a Rich Bitch inspired by Lady Macbeth, already has a life most people would envy—a wealthy scientist husband, a Big Fancy House — but it's not enough for her. She wants "Power, far-flung holdings, undiminishable authority", and she plans to get them by taking over her father-in-law's MegaCorp. When Judith's husband accidentally intercepts an all-loving alien who uses an impenetrable shield to travel the stars, Judith kills the Christ-like creature and tries to pass its shield off as her husband's invention, which backfires spectacularly.

Ambition Is Evil / int_32c541e6	comment	Very much averted in Fullmetal Alchemist, where a number of characters (e.g. Mustang, Olivia Armstrong, Greed, and Ling) are ambitious but they are generally good because of this, not in spite of it. Ling's ambition to become the next emperor was the only thing that prevented Greed from taking over his body completely. Greed's ambition is notable in that he desires to possess everything. Most people would chalk this up as evil, but the thing is that he also values everything he possesses. His minions may be possessions, but they're his and killing them is equal to stealing from him. Played straight with Shou Tucker, Mad Scientist extraordinaire. His ultimate goal is to be recognised as an amazing State Alchemist representing chimera transmutation. Thing is, he's willing to turn his own wife, and then his own daughter, into chimeras to achieve that goal, and he ends up getting arrested, murdered by Scar, and remembered only as a desperate and insane criminal.

Even when his ambition led to him rebelling against the Greater Will (gaining him the Lord of Blasphemy title), his followers didn't have a problem with this, and in fact saw it as heroic. Then he fed himself to the God-Devouring Serpent and merged with it, with his ambitions degenerating into a simple desire to consume everything. His former knights now want you to kill him just to stop him further disgracing himself and his ambitions.

Tigress is quite overachieving in the beginning, but it's mostly to reinforce her worth in the eyes of Shifu, the citizens of the Valley, and her teammates. Nevertheless, it's these traits and the feeling of being pushed aside by an incoming (and seemingly undeserving) student that drives much of her cruel treatment towards Po.

Ambition Is Evil / int_53b30902	comment	Valkyria Chronicles: This is actually one of the major themes of the game; every single character who actually aspired to achieve their rank in the military is in it for some form of selfish gain and nothing else, and most of them die. The exception is Varrot, who only became a captain because she wanted revenge for her murdered lover., and retired shortly afterward. Everyone who either enlists voluntarily or is conscripted, without pursuing an actual military career, gets a more or less happy ending — and the exception to that is Faldio, who dies explicitly for believing in military strength over the power of love. The bottom line is that in Europa, the only way to win a war is by blowing it up with your belief in pacifism (and regular guns — magic lasers are evil.) It takes this a step further by having the entire main Gallian army die in a huge explosion. Their deaths are mentioned once and then completely ignored by the main cast — because even though enemy Mooks are shown to be human, the Gallian army are Mooks that have no worth at all, presumably because (unlike Squad 7, which is made up of people who volunteered in response to a threat to their hometowns) they're professional soldiers, who only exist to promote warfare and be willingly manipulated by their evil, shallow overlord, General Damon. Valkyria Chronicles 4 fleshes this strawman scenario out; when the Empire threw all fantasy Geneva Conventions out the window, most of the Gallian military and conscripted militia immediately signed up with the Federation out of principles and the promise of a future alliance with a greater power. The remainder of the high-ranking forces stayed home from a combination of cowardice, apathy, and the knowledge that they'd get shiny new promotions if they sat back and watched their superiors sacrifice themselves on the real frontlines of the war. This backfired greatly.

Ambition Is Evil / int_5c7ca3ef	comment	Handmaid: One of the reasons why the handmaid privilege fell out of disuse before Henry revived it. If the Queen predeceased the King and the Princess Consort, then the former was legally obligated to marry the latter in her place. For handmaids with particularly ambitious families, that posed a problem; history is littered with families executed for trying to elevate their daughters' newfound status through...dishonest means. Thomas Seymour attacks a pregnant Anne so she can be replaced by the pregnant Jane. Despite whatever Jane believed, it becomes very clear that Thomas was driven by the thought of all he could gain by being the uncle of a prince/future king. Jane is an interesting case. She clearly wants to takes Anne's place, but also recognizes that desiring Anne dead to make that happen is an evil thought; instead, she tries to convince herself that she would be a superior handmaid to Anne, and thus things would be better off for everyone if Anne was dead. In short, she recognizes that ambition is evil, and so tries to convince herself that she isn't ambitious but righteous.

He wants power and control, but now the war is over, and the world they face is brutal and the people all distrust each other. To get power he... wants to be elected by a committee of his peers.

He even befriends his political rival Metalhawk, and though he snarks at him, seems to respect Bumblebee. When Megatron throws it all into chaos, Scream berates him because of his shortsighted folly and stands with the Autobots. When Megatron is defeated Starscream rejoices, and then kills Metalhawk, uses his death as a political maneuver, swears off his faction, and has the entire public rally behind him. He then banishes Bumblebee and all the Autobots and Decepticons clinging to old alliances. His final words to Metalhawk lampshade this:

Ambition Is Evil / int_6ed7a5ec	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire TV adaptations: Game of Thrones: After watching his dynasty nearly ruined by his ineffectual father, Tywin Lannister's dream is to "establish a dynasty that will last a thousand years," and he will do anything, no matter how vicious, to maintain his family's greatness and is ruthless when playing the game of thrones. Robert is even more generous, summing Tywin's goal up as "wanting to own the world". His outsize ambition is the main reason why he doesn't get along very well with his children — in his eyes, they've done nothing with their lives without his help or name, or at least so he believes. He approves of Jaime's great skill as a Master Swordsman but is disappointed that he doesn't apply himself. As for Cersei, he feels that she didn't do enough in her position as Queen and did a poor job raising Joffrey. As for Tyrion, from his perspective, Tyrion was content to spend all his time drinking and whoring until Tywin appointed him Hand and later Master of Coin. From Tyrion's perspective, he hardly ever got opportunities because his father kept insulting him with tasks like manage the cisterns of Casterly Rock, and even when Tyrion did great at that, hardly considers it indicative of any talent. The only trait Cersei inherited from her Lord father and her brothers didn't. Never satisfied with her station in life, she is by far the most power-hungry of the Lannister siblings, always equating power with victory, no matter the cost (including losing her own children). Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish was born without wealth, influence, or a great title. By Season 3, he's gained all three by being a scheming backstabber. Zig-Zagged by the Tyrells, who aim to increase their own power and prestige through some fairly shady schemes, but are adored in-universe for their appearance as noble and charitable figures, and the fandom can empathize with them in their rivalry with the proud and conservative Lannisters. According to writer David Benioff, Stannis chooses ambition over family in "The Dance of Dragons" and this is what ultimately does him in. Given Stannis's general characterization before said episode, this explanation has been contested, to say the least. Despite having alleged noble ends, Stannis is bound and determined that absolutely no one but him should sit on the Iron Throne, and every time he has to choose between ambition and his family (or his honor, or his principles) he chooses ambition. Ultimately, this results in his downfall, as even hired sellswords can't stomach the lengths to which he is willing to go and abandon him en masse, leading to his defeat by the Boltons and execution at the hands of Brienne. This exception is, of course, in the backstory, where Stannis supported his family and nearly starved to death in The Siege for a brother he never even liked because blood is Thicker Than Water rather than support his lawful ruler who would undoubtedly have rewarded him handsomely, most likely by fulfilling Stannis' ambition to be Lord of Storm's End. The characters who aren't on Renly's side don't view positively his bid to the throne, as he can't even kid anyone about having any legitimacy. Davos, who may be considered Only Sane Man, even remarks that Renly's actions were unlawful and wrong enough to consider him a justified casualty of war. House of the Dragon: The Hightowers being ambitious and wanting to see their own grandchildren on the throne is treated as much more immoral and dangerous than the Velaryons doing the same, with the Velaryons getting a little flack for it. Both are trying to climb the ladder, but because at the beginning of the story the Hightowers don't have a Valyrian ascendency, dragons and all the edge that entails, they have to rely on conventional scheming and amoral subterfuge more often to try punching above their weight. The legitimacy of Targaryen rule is not questioned nor presented as ambitious, as they became rulers thanks to right of conquest, and Aegon's legacy includes an obligation to uphold a strong realm, which they are trying to mantain and mostly react to events. Larys Strong is shaping up into very much the show's equivalent of scheming backstabber Littlefinger. He hitches a ride on the Hightowers' ambition via Alicent's own, and sacrifices his own father and brother to further his goals.

Ambition Is Evil / int_73d7930f	comment	In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise, this is explicitly given as the reason why genetic engineering is illegal in the Federation, with Khan as the defining example (naturally, this overlaps heavily with Fantastic Racism). It's specifically mentioned that "superior ability breeds superior ambition", and that dabbling in genetic engineering risks the creation of another superhuman like Khan, "whose ambition and thirst for power have been enhanced along with his intellect." Gowron is an example. He was presented as a Klingon who genuinely gave a crap about honor. Indeed, he was a political outsider who often opposed the High Council. But as time went by, he cared more and more about keeping his position as leader of the Empire secure, to the point of deliberately sending a brilliant general he viewed as a rival on impossible missions. Kai Winn was genuinely dedicated to her faith and her people during the occupation. Her desire to become Kai led her to be a Fantastic Racist, a murderer, a terrorist, and eventually a traitor. Sisko and Martok are examples of the opposite. When Akorem Laan, a poet, was transported to the future and thought he was the emissary, rather than try to adapt to his new time, he used his newfound power to force everyone else to adapt to him, by returning to the abandoned Fantastic Caste System, and he didn't care how much suffering he was causing. It's clear that what made Sisko such a good emissary was the fact that he didn't want to be emissary, and thus he couldn't abuse his power because he was too reluctant to even acknowledge he had it. Similarly, Worf thought Martok would make a good chancellor because he refused to seek the position, even though he could have taken it.

Ambition Is Evil / int_74f7210c	comment	In The Legend of Zelda, the Big Bad Ganondorf led an expedition to the Sacred Realm in order to acquire the Triforce, a Cosmic Keystone that could grant ultimate power to the one who has it. However, when he touched it, the Triforce separated into three parts, as it would only remain intact for those whose hearts value Power, Wisdom, and Courage equally. Ganondorf only received one piece of the whole: the Triforce of Power, as he only valued Power and wanted to Take Over the World. Meanwhile, the other two pieces, the Triforce of Courage and Triforce of Wisdom, went to the heroes: Link and Princess Zelda respectively. Thus, in all games in the series, it is the job of the various Links and Zeldas to stop Ganondorf from gaining the full Triforce so his ambitions can't come to fruition. Even when he reincarnates as a decent person initially, his cursed blood inevitably drives him to seek unlimited power, as shown in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker where he (ambiguously) started out as a Well-Intentioned Extremist or the original concept for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild where he was initially just a normal guy (and a Metallica fan).

Ambition Is Evil / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: The central theme of Kamen Rider OOO is desire, and most of the story arcs are about dealing with some ambition that's run out of control. The main character himself is characterized by an utter lack of any kind of ambition. And then the trope was inverted. Particularly by Kosei Kougami, perhaps the closest thing there is to a Big Good in the series. He loudly and frequently espouses the virtue of desire and ambition because it leads to progress and evolution. This is in contrast to Eiji, whose lack of desire and focus on what's immediately in front of him are initially played as entirely virtuous, but his outlook is later shown to be the result of severe emotional trauma and eventually causes him to start losing himself as he transforms into the Purple Greed, which represents the antithesis of desire. Kuroto Dan in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid wants to become even more famous through developing a new brand of video games better than any others. That's not the bad part. That he starts to go exactly along the lines of arson, murder, and jaywalking to achieve it, on the other hand, is. In Kamen Rider Zi-O, The Protagonist Sougo Tokiwa has this as the source of his problems in current time due to the latter part resulting from the former part of this trope later in his life. Sougo's dream is to become king, though NO ONE in present honestly takes him seriously. 50 years later, Sougo is known as Oma Zi-O, the Demon King of Time who causes and rules over a Bad Future. It has gotten to the point that multiple factions have gone back in time stop Zi-O's road to ascension — one way or another.

Ambition Is Evil / int_82439e64	comment	Arguably, the US version of The Office. In the first few seasons, Dwight and Angela are the meanest employees who are the most unpopular with their coworkers. They are also the most driven, hard-working, and likely to take charge. Then Andy was added to the cast and he was originally characterized as someone who, like Dwight, would stop at nothing to become Number Three in the office. By the time he was Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, this goal had mysteriously disappeared. Ryan was corrupted with power when he got promoted to corporate and Took a Level in Jerkass to extreme levels. Jim is at his best when he is Brilliant, but Lazy and whenever he takes on management duties he finds himself Lonely at the Top and is unsure of how to handle the job. Pam has always had an ambitious streak (even if it was repressed at first) which appears to run much deeper than that of Jim. However, while she originally had the sympathetic goals of wanting to prove herself talented and capable and escape her disliked receptionist job ever since she came back from Pratt she has gradually become more concerned with making money than being competent and has undertaken more questionable means of getting herself promoted. In fact, the only notably ambitious character who neither does mean things just to get ahead of others nor gets an intelligence downgrade after being promoted is Karen (she was sometimes mean to Pam because she was a rival love interest, not out of ambition). And that's because she was always going to be Put on a Bus for unrelated reasons.

Flash forward to a few stellar cycles later, and he's now a war-mongering tyrant who plans to bring "Peace through tyranny." As in the comic book page, most incarnations of Starscream are paragons of this trope (In addition to The Starscream), wanting to lead the Decepticons for no other reason than the fact that HE wants to be in charge, and will stop at nothing to achieve this, even though he's usually massively unsuited for the position. As he says in Transformers Prime, he is no stranger to ambition.

Ambition Is Evil / int_8d32e966	comment	The first Squadron Supreme miniseries (whose members are Captain Ersatzes of the Justice League of America) had the heroes helping to rebuild the world (after they themselves helped conquer it under an evil alien's mind control) and decide that instead of rebuilding it as it was, they would make it better. They even announced that if people trusted them they would give up control over Earth in exactly one year. However, this was seen as a bad thing by half the heroes, who organized a resistance against them. The reasons given weren't very convincing — they just seemed to be there just to maintain the Status Quo of their Earth resembling the real one. Note that this story inspired both DC's Kingdom Come and Civil War. Only one hero, the Batman Captain Ersatz, actually objected to improving the world. What causes the real split was when the majority of the Squadron Supreme decided to use Brainwashing for the Greater Good. Actually, he made a very valid point in the final issue. Even after turning power back over to civilian authority, the Utopia could only last so long as the Squadron was around to enforce it. There's no guarantee their eventual successors would hold to the same moral standards.

Ambition Is Evil / int_8d7f29ec	comment	Somewhat subverted with Glee: Main character Rachel is extremely ambitious, but it's portrayed in both good and bad ways: her insistence on always getting the spotlight alienates people, but her go-getter attitude combined with her talent is ultimately what will save her from the fate of many of her classmates (being stuck in Lima, OH). Certainly, she's never seen as evil. On the other hand, we have Sue, who single-mindedly pursues her goal of destroying Glee Club — and there's Terri, Will's wife who cruelly pushes him to give up teaching and become an accountant so they make more money. Rachel often seems to lack perspective and goes to extreme lengths such as sending Sunshine to a crack house to scare her out of the glee club, this eliminating her (perceived) competition. By the end of Season 2, though, Rachel seems to have learned her lesson. She'll still be ambitious, but she's going to be nicer about it. Hopefully... Will is ambitious, though. It's just that these ambitions are directed toward elevating the McKinley High Glee Club as high as possible, rather than making money.

Ambition Is Evil / int_8d814070	comment	Anyone in MAS*H who has ambitions is evil. The only people with ambitions are portrayed as being self-centered, selfish, and just plain bad. Some examples: Frank is always an antagonist, but any time he's in charge, it goes to his head and everyone turns against him. Generals and colonels are often portrayed as people who care more about their careers than anything else. In one episode, Potter gives a brief speech outlining exactly how Jerkass each officer rank is likely to be based on how far away they are from real prestige. (He concludes it with a bit of Hypocritical Humor, noting that colonels are the worst, since "they can practically taste those stars.") When Winchester joins the cast, he wants to be head of thoracic surgery at a Boston hospital. Then again, Winchester is also portrayed as more than competent enough to handle this. Unlike Frank, his antagonism comes from a clashing personality as opposed to incompetence. By the end of the show, this troper wanted him to run that hospital! When the soldier of the month board is coming up, everyone in the competition stoops to some low activities (brown-nosing, cheating) to get ahead. One episode sees the company clerk, Radar, promoted from Corporal to Lieutenant. He's then put in charge of his "friends," who decide that since he's now an officer, he's automatically a Jerkass and no longer their buddy — even though he's shown to be quite laid back, and is only doing the job he was assigned. Radar is so troubled by this that at the end of the episode he asks to be demoted back to Corporal. There was also a nurse who had a crush on him. She was always making passes at him, but he didn't act on them because he was only a lowly corporal. When he's promoted to lieutenant, the nurse loses interest in him and explains that the only reason she was attracted to him in the first place was that it was wrong. Subverted with Father Mulcahy, who pushes for promotion but remains a nice guy. And it was because he was jealous of a colleague getting a similar promotion! Not quite subverted — he's shown regretting his actions and talks about the sin of pride.

Ambition Is Evil / int_90e2f673	comment	While BattleTech operates under a mostly Grey-and-Gray Morality, characters who are presented as ambitious (whether that ambition is to work their way up to a higher rank in the military, become governor of a planet, or conquer the entire Inner Sphere) are almost always presented as antagonists. Hanse Davion is the biggest exception — he came the closest to conquering the Inner Sphere that anyone had done since the collapse of the Star League but was generally portrayed as heroic because of his actions. Brett Andrews is one of the worse cases, as the ilKhan (Khan of all the Clans) he puts his personal ambitions and ideas over the betterment of all the Clans. He instigated the Wars of Reavings which resulted in the Clans tearing each other apart, while his Clan the Steel Vipers benefited from it, at the expense of the rest of the Clans. Hanse Davion avoids falling into this trope mainly by not actually being especially ambitious, at least not by Successor Lord standards. Cunning, yes, ruthless where he needs to be, too...but he does have a conscience and at heart genuinely believes that the people he conquers will in fact be better off than they were under their old oppressive regimes (and considering who his primary enemies in his time are it's not too difficult to see why he would think so). So from his perspective, it's actually not All About Him. (Compare and contrast his daughter Katherine, who in her own grab for power after his death plays the trope dead straight and promptly ends up thoroughly wrecking the very Federated Commonwealth he's only just helped establish again.)

Ambition Is Evil / int_93221cce	comment	The central theme of Kamen Rider OOO is desire, and most of the story arcs are about dealing with some ambition that's run out of control. The main character himself is characterized by an utter lack of any kind of ambition. And then the trope was inverted. Particularly by Kosei Kougami, perhaps the closest thing there is to a Big Good in the series. He loudly and frequently espouses the virtue of desire and ambition because it leads to progress and evolution. This is in contrast to Eiji, whose lack of desire and focus on what's immediately in front of him are initially played as entirely virtuous, but his outlook is later shown to be the result of severe emotional trauma and eventually causes him to start losing himself as he transforms into the Purple Greed, which represents the antithesis of desire.

His ambition to be the number one hero is actually treated as one of his few positive points, despite him being a huge jerk about it. He also refuses to go down the path of a villain, despite the fact that his Quirk would be very suited for it. That said, in Chapter 120, All Might says that his drive to be the best is holding him back from being a hero and that he needs to work on also having an equal drive for rescuing people.

Ambition Is Evil / int_98ade6dd	comment	League of Legends Hecarim in life was a cruel and selfish knight in service to Camavor. Most of his actions were driven by a desire for power and autonomy, from leaving his master to die for not naming Hecarim his successor as Knight Commander of the Iron Order to murdering Kalista in order to secure his role as the Ruined King's favored servant. Upon becoming a wraith of the Shadow Isles, Hecarim is less ambitious and more psychotically obsessed with violence. Qiyana is the last in line of the royal family of Ixaocan, and a particularly ambitious one at that. She's willing to betray and kill her own family in order to secure the role of empress for herself, and her entitled and short-sighted behavior proves that it would be a terrible thing if she succeeeded. Played for Drama in Xerath's backstory. Originally a child slave of the ancient Shurima empire, all his life he only desired to be free. He would eventually save the life of the young Emperor Azir, who promised him his freedom, and would go on to be educated, taught magic, and become the Emperor's top adviser. However, he never gained the freedom he was promised, and eventually turned to scheming to take freedom. However, just as his schemes were about to bear fruit, Azir finally kept his promise and revealed he always intended to, just waiting for the right moment. Xerath, unable to do anything to stop the destruction of Shurima he had set in motion, could only silently weep at what was about to happen. He was then sealed away in a tomb for several thousand years by Nasus and Renekton before escaping into the present time determined never to lose his freedom again.

While none of the Daedric Princes are truly "evil", instead operating on their own scale of Blue-and-Orange Morality, Dagon is certainly one of the most malevolent toward mortals and is near-universally regarded as evil as a result. Dagon has served directly as the Big Bad of two games in the series (Oblivion and the Dungeon Crawl spin-off game Battlespire) and is later revealed to have been The Man Behind the Man/Greater-Scope Villain for Arena. In the more heretical tales of his life, Tiber Septim, the founder of the Third Tamriellic Empire who ascended after his death as Talos, the Ninth Divine, had a lust for power led him to do some incredibly evil and underhanded things, such as betraying his allies and forcing the young Dunmer princess Barenziah to have a magical abortion because the child would've been inconvenient.

Ambition Is Evil / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Played straight and subverted quite often in One Piece. Most of the villains have pretty lofty goals, but the main characters have arguably the highest ambitions in the series. Inverted with Captain Kuro, who annoys Luffy because his goal to retire from being a pirate is completely lame. Played straight with Blackbeard, whose ambition to become Pirate King led him to kill one of his own crewmates in the back story, capture Ace to secure a position in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, try and kill Luffy, caused a war that led to the death of Ace, Oars Jr., and who knows how many others, killing Whitebeard directly and unleashed who knows how many of the world's worst criminals on an unsuspecting world. Basically One Piece is more like "Ambition is Neutral," as many of the villains they have fought had aims similar to the heroes, and it was merely their methods that were evil, not necessarily their aims. Blackbeard above is the best example as he also wants to be King of the Pirates, but his methods involve all sorts of cruelty. Or Eneru, whose ambition was to go to the Moon, perfectly innocuous except that he wanted to do it by plundering an island of all its gold then planning to blow the island up into the sea. It should be noted that said blowing up wasn't even necessary to the plan. It was just for the sake of it. Hell, "Haki" (Japanese for "ambition") is basically One Piece's resident Life Energy. Those who can control and project it out of their body get a substantial boost in battle. And the most powerful form, which one has to be born with, is the "Ambition of the King" — the sheer desire to reign over everyone else. The main hero has itnote He wants to be king of the pirates, after all. The Big Bad, probably, too.

Since his ambitions were very altruistic, and he used his superpowers to make them come true by helping people, nobody seemed to mind (or just assumed he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart and not a need for affection). But then he eventually realized you can't please everyone and gave up on being a hero, and instead ruined a world that he could never get to love him.

However, by the end, a select few realize that all of Lelouch's ambition was for the good of the world. Schneizel, described by Word of God as lacking ambition, ended up being the Big Bad since he would pursue whatever goal tickled his fancy at the moment without any overall or long-term interest. Ironically enough, he believes in this trope, which also turns him into a Hope Crusher, since he believes hopes and dreams are just excuses or reasons to follow one's ambitions, regardless of how they impact the rest of the world.

As for Cersei, he feels that she didn't do enough in her position as Queen and did a poor job raising Joffrey. As for Tyrion, from his perspective, Tyrion was content to spend all his time drinking and whoring until Tywin appointed him Hand and later Master of Coin. From Tyrion's perspective, he hardly ever got opportunities because his father kept insulting him with tasks like manage the cisterns of Casterly Rock, and even when Tyrion did great at that, hardly considers it indicative of any talent. The only trait Cersei inherited from her Lord father and her brothers didn't. Never satisfied with her station in life, she is by far the most power-hungry of the Lannister siblings, always equating power with victory, no matter the cost (including losing her own children). Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish was born without wealth, influence, or a great title. By Season 3, he's gained all three by being a scheming backstabber. Zig-Zagged by the Tyrells, who aim to increase their own power and prestige through some fairly shady schemes, but are adored in-universe for their appearance as noble and charitable figures, and the fandom can empathize with them in their rivalry with the proud and conservative Lannisters. According to writer David Benioff, Stannis chooses ambition over family in "The Dance of Dragons" and this is what ultimately does him in. Given Stannis's general characterization before said episode, this explanation has been contested, to say the least. Despite having alleged noble ends, Stannis is bound and determined that absolutely no one but him should sit on the Iron Throne, and every time he has to choose between ambition and his family (or his honor, or his principles) he chooses ambition. Ultimately, this results in his downfall, as even hired sellswords can't stomach the lengths to which he is willing to go and abandon him en masse, leading to his defeat by the Boltons and execution at the hands of Brienne. This exception is, of course, in the backstory, where Stannis supported his family and nearly starved to death in The Siege for a brother he never even liked because blood is Thicker Than Water rather than support his lawful ruler who would undoubtedly have rewarded him handsomely, most likely by fulfilling Stannis' ambition to be Lord of Storm's End. The characters who aren't on Renly's side don't view positively his bid to the throne, as he can't even kid anyone about having any legitimacy. Davos, who may be considered Only Sane Man, even remarks that Renly's actions were unlawful and wrong enough to consider him a justified casualty of war.

Ambition Is Evil / int_ba084d45	comment	Played with heavily in Hamilton, since nobody's exactly evil and often it's more like Ambition Makes You Stupid. Both Hamilton and Burr are deeply ambitious men, but Hamilton is impatiently ambitious while Burr is more willing to wait for opportunity to present itself. Hamilton's ambition doubles as his greatest trait and part of his Fatal Flaw. He's always looking to do more, which both enables him to pretty much invent America's financial system on his own, but he doesn't know when to stop in order to stay out of trouble. With someone like George Washington around to grab him before he runs himself off a cliff, he's a brilliant statesman. Once Washington dies, he starts making more boneheaded moves and quickly self-destructs. Hamilton often presses Burr to be more active and stand up for himself more often but finds himself opposing Burr when Burr actually starts taking his advice. Hamilton's reasoning when Burr demands answers as to why he supported Thomas Jefferson's presidential campaign is explicitly this trope; he states that while he and Jefferson have contradictory ideals, at least Jefferson has ideals and is campaigning in order to fulfill them, while Burr just wants the office for the power.

It's even all but confirmed in the official novelization that if Apex's plan had succeeded without any hitches, they would've gone on to Take Over the World outright.

Just like in canon, Danzo has the ambition to become Hokage and is shown to be extremely bitter that he's always been passed over for the position every time, which leads him to stoop down to things like allying with Orochimaru and leaking intel to Akatsuki about the jinchuriki's whereabouts, resulting in several missions to retrieve them gone wrong. When he's confronted about it, he reveals that his plan was to let Akatsuki gather all the Tailed Beasts in a single place to take them back for Konoha, or so it seems, as shortly after he turns out to have been under Kotoamatsukami influence, thanks to Obito Uchiha. Rather than outright mind-controlling Danzo, all he did was plant the idea on him and let his ambitions do the rest. Given Danzo's reputation, nobody would have even suspected it wasn't his idea to begin with.

Ambition Is Evil / int_bff01809	comment	In Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000: Tzeentch is the Chaos god of ambition, also: hope, change, mutation, betrayal, psychic powers, lies, plotting, ravens, etc. In fact, in 40K he's the accumulated hope felt by sentient species in the galaxy. The Space Marines believe, "Better to die for the Emperor, than live for yourself." The Tau are all about this, to a point where they can be a Deconstruction. Everything they do is for "The Greater Good": they don't love in the romantic sense (they breed by eugenics with couplings determined by genetic analysis), they will throw themselves into a meat-grinder knowing full well they will die, and even their leaders will sometimes carry a bomb to blow themselves up all for the Greater Good. Worth pointing out that they think personal ambition is bad. Collective species-wide ambition is a virtue. Yeah. Horus Lupercal embodied the Emperor's ambition, and that ambition led him to ruin. Nagash from Warhammer Fantasy wanted to be king, but due to Nehekaran rules of succession, he (as the eldest son) was made a priest while his younger brother was made king. Pissed beyond belief by this, Nagash plotted for a means to overthrow his brother, which he got when some captured Dark Elves taught him the basics of dark magic, providing him with the base to invent necromancy. Nowadays Nagash (as a mighty lich) has loftier goals in mind: killing the entire world and the Chaos Gods so that his will alone would reign supreme. Similarly, the elven prince Malekith wanted to succeed his father Aenarion, the first Phoenix King. When the High Elves instead instituted Elective Monarchy and elected Bel-Shanaar to the position, Malekith accepted it publicly but secretly schemed against him. After murdering Bel-Shanaar and the Council of Princes, Malekith sought to emulate his father and Bel-Shanaar and undergo the same Trial by Ordeal to become king by walking through the Sacred Fire of Asuryan with their blood still on his hands. Asuryan quickly disabused him of his legitimacy, and the ensuing Civil War tore the old High Elven kingdom apart. Staying alive through his own spite and ambition, Malekith still plots to become king of the elves or to sink Ulthuan beneath the waves if they continue to defy him.

Ambition Is Evil / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: The Hightowers being ambitious and wanting to see their own grandchildren on the throne is treated as much more immoral and dangerous than the Velaryons doing the same, with the Velaryons getting a little flack for it. Both are trying to climb the ladder, but because at the beginning of the story the Hightowers don't have a Valyrian ascendency, dragons and all the edge that entails, they have to rely on conventional scheming and amoral subterfuge more often to try punching above their weight. The legitimacy of Targaryen rule is not questioned nor presented as ambitious, as they became rulers thanks to right of conquest, and Aegon's legacy includes an obligation to uphold a strong realm, which they are trying to mantain and mostly react to events. Larys Strong is shaping up into very much the show's equivalent of scheming backstabber Littlefinger. He hitches a ride on the Hightowers' ambition via Alicent's own, and sacrifices his own father and brother to further his goals.

Anyone with money is bad or downright evil (Harriet Olesen, Ebeneezer Sprague), and doing things that will make a character successful will only backfire and provide an Aesop for the protagonists. Every time Harriet attempts to make more money, she has the plan fall apart on her and end up costing her money. When Charles and Caroline go to a high-school reunion, they feel sad when they realize how much more successful everyone else is, but in the end, everyone who succeeded in life wishes they had the life of Charles and Caroline because they have true happiness. When Charles and Mr. Garvey go into the freight business, they're immediately successful, so the first thing they do is go into a fancy restaurant and start ordering things off the menu that they don't even recognize. When the waiter brings them their escargot, they get mad at him, like he's trying to force a fancy life upon them. Charles even yells at the waiter for no reason other than he didn't like the fancy life. Charles and Mr. Garvey leave the restaurant, taking a bottle of wine with them, without paying for any of it. The entire scene is played like this is their "reward" for doing well. Because of this meal, they decide to end their freight business and go home to their wives. Neither one of them had been home for two weeks, but rather than have that be the reason for their return, they focused on the way rich people act.

Then when he gets his hands on Genie, he uses one of his wishes to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world, conquering Agrabah almost effortlessly soon afterwards.

Ambition Is Evil / int_dd07e332	comment	The whole plot of Peret em Heru: For the Prisoners is driven by the raw ambitions of one man: Professor Tsuchida. While already highly respected in his field, he still wants more — and when some illegal explorations lead to him uncovering hidden ruins, he ropes a tour group into accompanying him inside. Supposedly to give them a 'once-in-a-lifetime experience', but honestly because he intended to use them as Unwitting Pawns to get past whatever booby traps might be waiting inside. His assistant Dr. Kuroe also demonstrates this, though to a lesser degree. Like the professor, he isn't satisfied with his accomplishments and desires, which leads to him going along with his plan despite some reservations. This leads to some internal conflict as the expedition continues... Then comes the endgame revelation that Tsuchida's true motive was to punish Kuroe for this, blaming him for not being able to save his daughter one year prior. At the time, Kuroe hadn't graduated yet, and while he offered several reasons as to why he couldn't save her, the one that stuck out the most to the Professor was his fear of losing his license. Thus, he believes that Kuroe's ambition helped cause Shizumi's death, and was obsessed with seeing him punished for it.

Ambition Is Evil / int_e144ba19	comment	Dragon Age II: Anders is the only one who shows any kind of ambition towards ending the templar/mage conflict. He blows up the Chantry so there can be no compromise between the two sides. Merrill also has shades of this trope. Her ambition to link her people with their past prompts her to try and restore a broken mirror that's a portal for a demon to re-enter the world from the Fade. While she herself survives, this goal gets at least Keeper Marethari killed, if not the entire clan she was trying to help. Snarky!Hawke plays this straight, being one of the few unambiguously good characters in the game. Despite their actions pissing off more than a few people in the process, Snarky!Hawke acts out of a desire to help people with no reward, has no real goals other than protecting their friends and family and at the end of the day, simply desires nothing more than to head down to The Hanged Man for a drink among friends. Played very straight with siblings Varric and Bartrand. The former is a party member, has no patience for "dwarven honor" and is happy to hang out at the Hanged Man drinking and telling stories. The latter is obsessed with reclaiming his family's legacy, incredibly unpleasant to work for, and leaves you all to die with a little push from an Artifact of Doom.

Ambition Is Evil / int_e293455a	comment	In Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and its spinoff Angel) there's a similar theme running throughout most of the TV portion of the series. First, with most of the non-evil characters high school students, the monsters and villains become distinguished as those who know exactly "what they want to do when they grow up" — they're doing it. More broadly, the show (based on commentaries, deliberately) emphasizes evil and good as proactive and reactive. When the good guys are farther ahead of their game than a last-minute response, they're generally making a mistake somebody else will pay for. Organized efforts to protect people before they're in danger turn out to have been corrupted from the very beginning. Even when the goal is simply to help people who need it (the homeless shelter in Angel, headed by a genuinely good person), there are hints of evil as entropy: proactively doing good on a local scale inevitably means contributing (at a net loss) to greater if vaguer evils. This seems to end in Buffy's Season 7. Maybe. Lindsey, a villain, had a driving motive of his cynicism and ambitions, as pointed out by his actor:

While the former two are looking to restart the universe, their actions have caused death and suffering across the galaxy. The Midnight Killer, Maxine Armstrong, wants to gain possession of The Ark, claiming she'll use the powers of it to stop death — however, she is psychotic and treats the lives of the people she's killing as nothing. It's also hinted that she arranged to have her older sister killed so she could inherit Armstrong Incorporated. Subverted with Acheron and Velasquez: Acheron wants to gain the power of The Ark to prevent his psychotic sister from controlling it, and to use it to combat death; Velasquez wants to help The Federation find a new source of power and seems to care about his royal subjects, but the morality of his methods is questionable.

Luckily, in Episode 3.9 of Primeval, Christine Johnson is pushed through an Anomaly leading to the future by Helen Cutter, where she is killed by a Future Predator, probably to Lester's great relief.

However, she uses too much turning Harvey into a Corrupt Corporate Executive that manages to buy the school and plan on demolishing it. When Sabrina's aunts find out, they learn that the Ambition products lacked a key "expensive and imported" component: Perspective, meaning that Harvey was dosed with "Blind Ambition". When Harvey is dosed with Perspective, he cancels the plan, gives all his money to charity, and everything goes back to normal with an Aesop about wanting to change people... until Harvey tells Sabrina that he will go to college after all.

Londo Mollari, their main 'client' through the story, ends up doing a lot of Dirty Business for his ambitions and suffers greatly for them, especially when he tries putting it right again. Word of God confirms that the Shadow emissary Morden recruited Londo specifically because he had a positive ambition to restore the Centauri empire, while G'Kar only wanted revenge on the Centauri, with no vision beyond that. note At least, that's where they are at the beginning of about two decades of character development. Ironically, the Shadows are convinced to leave the Younger Races alone forever after Sheridan asks them their own Armor-Piercing Question ("What do you want?") and they realize they don't know the answer anymore. The Shadows themselves had no real ambitions.
