A household or personal servant note Often either a high-ranking one, as most actual butlers are, or the only one employed by their master who acts as a "combat effective" despite their official position having nothing to do with combat. May overlap with Almighty Janitor if said butler/servant is the only one hired in the household, but if said butler/household servant is the head servant of the household, then this trope will also overlap with Asskicking Leads to Leadership, because they are granted the position to command the other servants because they can personally protect the master of the manor.
If a Battle Butler is female she will probably wear a suit, even if she is called a maid. If she does wear an appropriate maid outfit, she is a Ninja Maid. If a Battle Butler is also referred to as a bodyguard, you can expect full blown samurai-level abilities; this type of Battle Butler tends to overlap with The Dragon if their master is the Big Bad. They might also act as a Professional Killer.
If they come from a long line of Battle Butlers serving that family, they're in a Legacy of Service.
Not to Be Confused with Hayate the Combat Butler, although the eponymous character is definitely an example.

In Batman: Earth One, Alfred is technically head of security at Wayne Manor at the request of Thomas Wayne, but calls himself a butler when he becomes Bruce's legal guardian. This Alfred is freshly discharged from active service in the armed forces (due to the loss of his leg), acts a little rougher around the edges than his usual depictions, and doesn't hesitate to blow away Mayor Oswald Cobblepot with a shotgun in order to save Batman's life.

Thoma from Genshin Impact is the housekeeper and chief retainer of the powerful Kamisato Clan, at least on paper. But besides household chores, he is also an exceptionally well-connected Fixer that can handle just about any task that is necessary in service of the Yashiro Commission. He's also a skilled warrior in his own right, with a Pyro Vision and the courage necessary to throw a spear at the Raiden Shogun's face.

Dapang from the John Woo game Stranglehold is Wong's most loyal servant, who distinguished himself by taking some bullets for Wong during one of his death matches, crushing the would-be assassin to death with his towering strength, and then going on to kill the opponent who he was fighting while still wounded. Wong was so impressed by Dapang's loyalty that he hired him on the spot as his bodyguard.

Digimon:
In Digimon Adventure 02, Wormmon acts as a (not especially useful) Battle Butler for Ken, getting nothing but insults and whippings in return. Ken comes to regret abusing Wormmon, though, after he performs his Heel–Face Turn.
Gaomon from Digimon Data Squad. He is not only Toma's partner on the battlefield, he is also Toma's butler in his manor, often seen serving him tea. Hell, his catchphrase is "Yes, Master.". You'd be lying if that doesn't remind you to Sebastian's "Yes, My Lord".

On the Batman (1966) TV series, Alfred Pennyworth goes into action against Penguin (with his fists) and the Joker (fencing) on separate episodes.
In the final episode of Birds of Prey (2002), Alfred becomes one.
He's hinted at being ex-Special Air Service in Gotham, fencing and boxing with young Bruce Wayne and then fending off home invaders at Wayne Manor. He even calls himself Bruce's bodyguard at one point.

Ranma ½:
Canon Foreigner Sasuke Sarugakure is the Kun� Family's devoted, albeit grossly inept, ninja butler in the anime. He was conceived as a filler character, who was given most arcs involving Gosunkugi. All of them except the magic paper dolls, if memory serves. However, he became his own unique character pretty quickly.
The very first filler in the anime also has an elderly, childless rich couple try to adopt P-chan/Ry�ga, and when Ranma (reluctantly) tries to retrieve him, the three butlers/servants chasing him promptly pull off their bowties and reveal martial artist weapons, much to Ranma's shock. The Abridged Chronicles lampshades this trope. It was also probably the most well-animated and choreographed fight of the whole season, despite how short it was.

Juubei from Get Backers has a brief angst fit because his duty in life was basically to be Kazuki's Battle Doctor, but Kazuki left, and he's since sworn himself to Makubex, who previously ordered him to kill Kazuki in what he admitted was a test of loyalty. In the end, he balances his dual loyalties nicely.

Fire Emblem:
Frederick in Fire Emblem: Awakening objects to being called a steward, but he more or less fills the role to a T. Those who look closely will see that he wears a suit under his armor.
Fire Emblem Fates has Butler and Maid as a promotion of the Troubadour class (complete with the requisite outfits), with Jakob starting off as this to a female main character and Felicia to a male one (though they both eventually join the party regardless of the protagonist's gender); there's also Felicia's sister Flora. They can use staves to heal and Hidden Weapons (namely, Daggers or Shuriken) to attack. It's also possible to class or re-class a good majority of the playable characters as a butler or maid, depending on whether they have Troubadour as an assigned solo reclass unlockable with a Heart Seal or marry either Jakob or Felicia, then use a Partner Seal.
Felicia, Flora, and Jakob reappear as these in Fire Emblem Heroes, and an alt for Kagero has her in a maid outfit as well.

He does get physical on one occasion when Bertie, being pursued by a policeman, ends up literally up a tree. The TV series included that scene, but inexplicably cut the line "I took the liberty of coshing the officer, sir." It is also mentioned, albeit in throwaway lines, that Jeeves is a veteran of World War One, and that several of Bertie's acquaintances who have hunted their entire lives are impressed by Jeeves' shotgun skills.

Kanon, Ronove and Genji from Umineko: When They Cry. Kanon and Genji are both human servants of the Ushiromiya family, but in the fantasy-themed scenes, they display potent magical power and can hold their own against magical creatures. Ronove is a demon who is usually employed as a servant (he apparently makes amazing cookies), but is also a powerful combatant. It's more apparent for Kanon and Ronove in their appearances in Umineko: Golden Fantasia.

To a certain extent, Mr. Smithers from The Simpsons.
In an alternate scene from "Burns' Heir", he wields a shotgun against a robotic Richard Simmons. In the original, Burns simply closes the door on Homer. It was cut from the episode because "it often did not get a good reaction during table reads."
He was also surprisingly good at cheerfully kidnapping Tom Jones at gunpoint.
Smithers only goes Battle Butler when he has to (read: when Burns is in danger). Most of the time he's just a Yes-Man.

The domicis from The Sun Sword try to function somewhere between butler and Hyper-Competent Sidekick. For many, that means being able to kick ass. Morretz is at least a bit capable of pulling this off for The Terafin, and Avandar Gallais is this to the nth degree, to the point where many have trouble understanding what the hell he's doing serving Jewel. Including Jewel, often.

It's unclear if the Miraculous Ladybug character Nathalie was hired for her combat skills, but they come in useful several times. Especially when she needs to hold off three brainwashed magically empowered mooks on her own. She also has no compunction about murdering innocent people for her master.

Garyu from Lyrical Nanoha is this to Lutecia. He's her personal and silent bodyguard, a strong and fast melee fighter, but also a very creepy example because he is a tall, humanoid, black and four-eyed insect with a Scarf of Asskicking. He's the most loyal of Lutecia's summoned insects, he pulls a Heel–Face Turn before her, so he can save her from her own rampage. The butler part is later seen in ViVid, as he gathers food and serves drinks to the girls in the hot spring. Yes, this creepy guy has seen several naked girls bathing in a hot spring and none of them cares at all, while Erio is demoted to the kitchen. Do we need to mention that some of the girls are 10 to 12 years old? However, Garyu is stoic as well.

Haku from Naruto, who sees himself as little more than a tool for The Demon Zabuza. Although Haku is far gentler than his boss and doesn't really like fighting, he's still willing to do anything for him, no matter how drastic, to the extent where he sacrifices himself by taking an attack right through the chest from Kakashi in order to protect Zabuza.

Fighter from 8-Bit Theater acts something like this for Black Mage, seeing himself as a devoted protector of his best friend, though Black Mage still suffers horrendously due to the universe hating him as stated by Word of God. However, if his other teammates openly consider killing Black Mage within earshot, he will not-so-subtly hint at killing them himself.

Many Stage 5 bosses are the Battle Butlers of the stage 6 ones. There is Sakuya in EoSD, Youmu in PCB, Reisen in IN, Sanae in MoF, Shou in UFO, Futo in TD... and then Subterranean Animism totally inverts it: the Stage 5 and 6 are the pets of the Stage 4 boss*Although some could said that Rin, the Stage 5 boss of the game is an old friend of Utsuho, the final boss of the game, so she definitely fits the archetype.. Similarly, the stage 5 boss Seija from Double Dealing Character is the actual perpetrator, with the stage 6 boss Shinmyoumaru being someone she tricked. In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, on the other hand, the stage 5 boss Clownpiece is the subordinate of the Optional Boss Hecatia and has been empowered by stage 6 boss Junko. Hidden Star in Four Seasons brings back the tradition with the introduction of not only one, but two battle butlers named Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida as penultimate bosses.
Side note: Imperishable Night kind of has two battle butlers, somehow predating Mai and Satono from Hidden Star in Four Seasons above. Reisen, as mentioned, follows Eirin's orders in stage 5, and Eirin becomes the final boss... if you take Final A. Because, as revealed at the end of Final A and throughout Final B, Eirin is also a battle butler, to Kaguya Houraisan.
Yumeko in Mystic Square was the one who started this trend. Although, on a more general level, one could say it was actually Marisa herself who started the tradition way back in her debut in the first Touhou shooter, Story of Eastern Wonderland, being the assistant of the final boss Mima.

Transformers: Generation 1 has Shockwave and Soundwave, both logical, level-headed, and more than willing to kick aft in Megatron's name. Soundwave even saved Megatron's life once in The Movie, though his loyalty apparently wasn't great enough to stop The Starscream and the other Decepticons from tossing him out Astrotrain's airlock five minutes later. A deleted scene after the battle for Megatron's position as leader would have pointed out that Soundwave was fighting in order to make Astrotrain turn around and rescue Megatron. And Shockwave even has a British accent!

In Ugly Betty, Marc is Wilhelmina's Battle Butler. Disposing of the Battle Butler when it's convenient was played with when Wilhelmina "traded" Marc for something she needed for her latest scheme, but later gave it up to get Marc back. Being a Card-Carrying Villain and all, Wilhelmina refused to admit that she did this because she missed Marc, but it was still played as a Pet the Dog moment.

SCP Foundation gives us SCP-662, a silver bell that when rang summons a butler named Mr. Deeds. Mr. Deeds will perform any (reasonable) task the ringer asks of him. He wouldn't kill Osama Bin Laden (saying he was too well guarded), but when instructed he does kill a D-class personnel-by throwing knife to the throat no less. He's also basically immortal, as when he's killed his body will disappear and he'll reappear the next time the bell is rung. Also notable is when he was asked to kill or incapacitate SCP-682, a lizard creature with a hatred for all life and a Healing Factor, he said he could hold it off for a while, even suggesting that his body could be booby-trapped with bombs or toxins.

Willikins, Commander Vimes' butler from Discworld, has quite a lot of violent capacity when his employer or city are threatened. It's explained he used to be a member of a rather vicious youth gang, whom even Vimes (famous as one of the Disc's dirtiest fighters) considers hard bastards and is rather happy his own gang never had reason to rumble with. He's also a member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch "Specials", a group of would-be watchmen who, due to whatever reason, are not able to devote their full time to the job. Willikins is notable for politely downplaying in conversation his combat abilities, or even getting excessively specific when explaining why he, for example, happened to be holding a fifteen-inch ice knifenote imagine, if you will, a breadknife, only a foot-and-a-half long, with half-inch, razor-sharp serrations. That poor Dwarf. when a hit squad attacks the house. Willikins favored weapons are a peaked cap lined with sharpened pennies (a nod either to Oddjob or the real life Peaky Blinders) or a pair of spiked knuckledusters that make his boss wince. Not to mention the time when Willikins left Vimes' service to fight in Klatch — biting a D'Reg's nose off at one point, and generally being Sergeant Badass.
Just to reiterate: Four dwarfs came through the basement wall, catching Willikins completely off guard. He killed one and captured a second (by the expedient of hanging him on a hook the dwarf couldn't free himself from) before properly registering what was happening. He managed to take down half a commando squad, handpicked for the mission, heavily armed and armored, while he was in his normal butlering suit, before thinking about it.
In Snuff, Vimes himself comments that Willikins would have made an excellent copper, if only he wouldn't have made a just-as-good, if not better, assassin. The only reason why he didn't was the social class difference. That, and assassins have rules.

Charles Foster Ofdensen, the manager for Dethklok in Metalocalypse. While the band thinks he's merely there to handle business and talk them out of bad ideas, he really controls everything behind the scenes, acting as an enforcer, silencer, and bodyguard if need be. When the band members were in trouble, he nearly kills the assassin in a hand-to-hand fight. He also has no qualms about having undesirable people killed (Eric Jomfru) or tortured (Dr. Rockzo). When another person was considered as his replacement, Ofdensen states that he'd have to kill him to get the job. He tried. He failed. Then Ofdenson metaphorically spits on his grave by posthumously making him a pedophile.
In one episode, Skwisgaar calls him "... the best butler we've ever had..."
The show did a good job of playing up Ofdensen as being a secret badass, but he really shines as a Battle Butler when you don't see him acting. When Pickles tells him that their amazingly bad movie can't be released to the public after its first screening, Ofdensen just nods, and walks away, with no attention paid to it. A few minutes later, everyone who has laid eyes on the film (and can confirm that it sucked) is dead. Sure, it "looks" like an accident (the helicopter rotor hits the pipeline on the oil platform used for the screening as it's leaving), but you know it wasn't.

Hayate the Combat Butler:
The eponymous Hayate is a unique look into a newly-minted Battle Butler; his loyalty initiated by a massive debt. He's had more experience in the area than that would lead one would think, however. He was trained in butlering as a small child by someone who is either a very powerful mage or a goddess. Despite the series name, Hayate himself seems less of a Battle Butler than the others.
Also, Segawa Kotetsu of the Segawa household, Machina (Athena's servant), Kaede Nonohara of the Azumamiya household, Himuro Saeki of the Ookouchi household as well as Ichijou as Mikoto's butler. Almost makes you think the series runs off of this trope, doesn't it?

In Final Fantasy XIV, you can hire retainers, who can be assigned a class by the player. These include gardening and fishing, but can also include a majority of the combat classes as well, such as Maurader or Lancer. If you assign them a combat class, you can send them on missions to hunt and explore for you, and their level can go as high as your own in that particular class.
Also notable is the Machinist questline character Joye of the Nine Faces, the cute assistant to Stephanivien who goes from demure and timid to a hard-firin' foul-mouthed bombshell when she lets her hair down.

The New Adventures of Invader Zim: Season 2 introduces the SIR unit Ying, who serves as this to Nyx. He has all the attitude and mannerisms of a stereotypical British butler, as well as a Battle Mode wherein he transforms into a seven-foot-tall robotic knight who is shown worfing the heroes in his first outing.

By the end of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the butler Riff Raff has snapped and shot his master and various other people with a Death Ray. A script for the unmade sequel Revenge of the Old Queen refers to him as "General Riff Raff", implying him to be a soldier on his home planet.

Though neither a butler nor a skilled fighter, Nike in Appleseed fits this trope quite well. It's easy to underestimate her as Prime Minister Athena's loyal secretary. But even for a Chief of Staff, she seems to be holding enormous executive powers on her own and having Athena's full confidence. The fact that she's The Stoic and could pass as a Bifauxnen without problems certainly helps her appearing as The Dragon.

Adolphus Kreiger of Vampireslayer employs the powerful Roche as his manservant and leader of his minions. Kreiger hardly needs him in a fight, but he can operate during the day and is unquestionably loyal to Kreiger, as were his father and grandfather. Unfortunately, he runs afoul of his master's "mother" and gets his head ripped off

Overlord (2012) has Sebas Tian. During the time of YGGDRASIL, he was created to serve as one of the last lines of defense in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, though no raid party ever made it to him. In the New World, he serves as one of Ains' elite minions, carrying out various tasks with simple efficiency. Whenever he needs to fight, the fact that he is level 100 in a world where the mid 30's are considered superhuman means that he tends to deliver a Curbstomp Battle.

DuckTales (2017):
Mrs. Beakley is Uncle Scrooge's housekeepernote , not maid. The housekeeper is the person who oversees the maids, just as the butler oversees the footmen, and is second in command of the household servants. She's also a former secret agent and probably the most formidable member of an extended family that includes alien commandos and superheroes.
Duckworth is a ghostly spirit who dwells in the mansion after being accidentally called back by an evil wizard. While in life he seems to have been merely a skilled domestic servant, in death, he's a walking murder machine. Unfortunately, his only actual fight in the series is against probably the only villain in the series who can defeat ghosts with ease.

Side note: Imperishable Night kind of has two battle butlers, somehow predating Mai and Satono from Hidden Star in Four Seasons above.

Black Butler:
Sebastian Michaelis is this trope. He could have written this trope all on his own, and made you tea and a five-star nine-course banquet in the meantime. After all, he's simply one hell of a butler.
Grell Sutcliff was a temporary one for Madame Red.
Yet another is Agni, super-powered servant to a very spoiled Indian prince.
And then there's Ash, the queen's butler. In the manga, she has two butlers; Charles Grey and Charles Phillips, AKA "Double Charles".
Ran-Mao could be considered a female example, in her service to local opium-dealer and criminal mastermind Lao.
While non-canon, Claude serves as one to Alois Trancy, as do the Canterbury triplets, to a lesser extent.
The Phantomhive servants, though quite behind Sebastian, are still very lethal. We have Mey-Rin, who is an excellent case of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass in that her extreme farsightedness usually makes her very clumsy but also makes her such a good sniper that she can do it with PISTOLS while leaping from rooftop to rooftop; Finnian was rescued from some nasty experiments, as has Super-Strength as a result, to the point where he can easily uproot and carry a massive tree; Tanaka, who effortlessly manages to kill an enemy right outside of Elizabeth's room without a drop of blood on his clothes (he says that he knows Baritsu in a later chapter); and Bard, who, though weakest in physical strength, makes up for it with expert tactical knowledge gained from his time in battle. When Ciel warns not to look down upon the Phantomhives' servants, he means it.

In Soul Eater, Noah has Gopher, a young (may or may not be an artificial creation) minion who serves Noah unquestioningly. So far unsuccessfully, but he's determined, at least. Mosquito is a clearer example, being Arachne's Battle Butler. And he's a far more effective one beating Kid rather brutally before getting owned by his Defence Mechanism Superpower. Both are devoted to their respective masters.

He often accompanies them on their missions — not for the comforts, but because he's a seven-foot orc that can punch through walls (and yet speaks with a dignified upper-class accent). Some testing from the players discovered that his Armour Class is 35.

Fire Emblem Fates has Butler and Maid as a promotion of the Troubadour class (complete with the requisite outfits), with Jakob starting off as this to a female main character and Felicia to a male one (though they both eventually join the party regardless of the protagonist's gender); there's also Felicia's sister Flora. They can use staves to heal and Hidden Weapons (namely, Daggers or Shuriken) to attack. It's also possible to class or re-class a good majority of the playable characters as a butler or maid, depending on whether they have Troubadour as an assigned solo reclass unlockable with a Heart Seal or marry either Jakob or Felicia, then use a Partner Seal.

Pathfinder supplement Gonzo has a literal Battle Butler class, with the hit dice and attack rolls of a fighter, "Tricks of the Trade" that combine stereotypical butler abilities with combat effectiveness, and the ability to go into a frenzy if their "master" is harmed. The class description clarifies that "battle butler" is just a slang term, and characters in this class can have the title of butler, maid, majordomo, housekeeper, manservant, valet, or steward, among others.

In Fallout 3, the Mister Handy Bot is designed for domestic tasks but does have a large saw, which has countless misfortunes laid at its feet, like your ruined birthday cake. There was actually a military version made, "Mr Gutsy", who has a flamethrower and spouts phrases that sound disturbingly like parodies of classic "Soldier Hero" talk.
Also in Fallout 3, the local radio host did a series about Herbert "Daring" Dashwood and his "stalwart Ghoul manservant" Argyle. It's made clear in the series that Argyle, a master of hand-to-hand combat that could kill a Mirelurk with his bare hands, did most of the work when things got messy (which was quite often as Dashwood's mix of chivalry and womanizing got him in a lot of trouble). In their final adventure, Dashwood is seduced by a female slaver into revealing the location of an underground city that they were supposed to keep secret, and Argyle saves Dashwood by ripping out her heart before she could kill him. Unfortunately, they were unable to stop the slavers from destroying the city, enslaving everyone, and killing Argyle after he and Dashwood were separated.
You can meet the real Dashwood; while he insists that his character flaws were grossly exaggerated in the show, he'll readily admit that the real Argyle was every bit as badass as his show counterpart and got him out of countless tight spots. He believes that Argyle's still out there and it's possible to inform him of Argyle's death after finding his corpse, causing Dashwood to retire from adventuring and reward the player with the contents of his safe.
This is actually a Shout-Out to the original Green Hornet radio plays, which would've been popular in the era before The Great War.

In Fallout 4, your Robot Butler Codsworth (who waited for 210 years for you to come home) can become one of your followers. He's pretty handy with his buzzsaw, and his blowtorch makes a decent flamethrower. With the Automaton DLC, he can be modded out with bigger guns and tougher armor, making him much more dangerous.

In Cross and Poppy, the Duke of Taunton's butler, Viney, who's the other churchwarden (with the Duke), Vice-Captain (with the Duke) of the Woolfonts Combined XI, the overall XO for everything, and runs rings around the local constabulary for intel and investigation (with the other servants in support, admittedly). As the Duke says, 'I haven't a network of informers, really, I've a staff' – and the Duke was an Intelligence Corps officer at the sharp end in Iraq and Afghanistan. Viney's less a Battle Butler than a Battle Bunter.

Ginji Matsuzaki could count, serving Yukio Washimine completely, faithfully, and frighteningly. He's known as "Manslayer Ginji" for damn good reason.
And if not Ginji then certainly Roberta! A literal Maid Of Iron who will never retreat and never stop hunting you until she makes one hundred percent sure you're dead. Oh yeah, and the small army's worth of firearms and explosives she carries with her at all times is probably worth a mention too. Don't screw around with the Lovelace family.

Since Dragalia Lost is a Gacha game about a prince recruiting a bunch of people into his castle as they continuously fight monsters (or fiends, as they’re called) and an evil empire, it should be no surprise that the Halidom has quite a few people who are like this. Examples include Melody and Edward. However, the one that stands out the most is Cleo, one of the game’s main characters. She has taken care of the Halidom day in and day out for over 300 years, yet is just as capable in a fight as Euden and friends. In battle, Cleo proves to be in incredibly helpful asset to the gang, as she is the main healer.

Archer's long-suffering valet, Sir Arthur Henry Woodhouse. When the fighter pilot he batted for in World War I was killed by a German sniper, Woodhouse stormed and single-handedly cleared the enemy trench with a combat knife. Before he was discharged, he killed--and scalped --50 Germans, earning the Victoria Cross. Even in his extreme old age, he kept twin double-barreled sawed-off shotguns—which Archer occasionally "borrowed"—as his personal sidearms. When he believed that an officer he had clashed with during the war was coming to kill him, he and an old war buddy completely fortified Archer's apartment; complete with machine gun nests! His gravestone revealed that he had been awarded some of the United Kingdom's highest military honors, listing him as "Arthur Henry Woodhouse VC, GBC, DSO, DSC, MC."

Yuki Nagato from Haruhi Suzumiya acts like this for Kyon, more or less placing him above anything else. Her loyalty ultimately lies with him, even above that of her boss and Haruhi. Sometimes it seems like she will only do something when Kyon tells her to. And boy, don't you dare to threaten Kyon, or she'll kick your ass hard. Then again, Kyon doesn't really play the role of her "master." In fact, he tries to avoid relying on her help, feeling it unfair to let her do all the dirty work, just because she won the Superpower Lottery.

Klungo from Banjo-Kazooie fits this trope perfectly; he is fiercely loyal despite being beaten (constantly) for his (constant) failures to Gruntilda the Witch. This is lampshaded late in the sequel when Klungo, after being beaten up by both his mistress and the player at least three times each, is convinced by the main characters that it's in his best interests to call it quits (and he goes off to pursue a job making "stuupid gamess," no less).

In Fallout: New Vegas, you have Yes-Man, a semi-immortal robot who is loyal only to you (because only you can get into the building where he lives) and he commands an army of highly advanced kill bots with Wolverine-like healing factors.
In Fallout 4, your Robot Butler Codsworth (who waited for 210 years for you to come home) can become one of your followers. He's pretty handy with his buzzsaw, and his blowtorch makes a decent flamethrower. With the Automaton DLC, he can be modded out with bigger guns and tougher armor, making him much more dangerous.

Pearl in Steven Universe is an interesting case: as a Pearl, she was expected to be Rose Quartz's personal retainer. However, Pearl loved Rose Quartz so much that she started learning swordsmanship and how to apply her natural powers to battle, so she could protect her liege better. This made Pearl a rarity amongst the gems, a Pearl that was a skilled fighter.

Batman: Alfred Pennyworth, essentially Batman's batman. Not exactly a battle butler, but his skill at espionage and disguise rivals Batman's, and as a retired secret agent he knows his way around a shotgun. A former combat medic, he's also a skilled surgeon, and has served as Batman's private physician over the years (just think how tough that job must be...)
Alfred, being a loyal Battle Butler, accompanied Bruce Wayne as he tracked Bane and his thugs during the events of Knightfall — and then, when Bruce refused to obey his Doctor's Orders (or risk being completely paralyzed), he resigned from Wayne's service entirely.
He seems to know his way around a golf club too...
From the same movie series, it's also stated that he's seen combat experience in Burma with the SAS. Battle Butler indeed.
On the pages of Batman Eternal Alfred mentions being former British SAS in the comics also.
From the Elseworlds story "Dark Allegiances" by Howard Chaykin comes this magnificent exchange:
In Batman: The Cult, Gotham City is overrun by homeless cultists. Batman and Robin are picked up from their hiding place by Alfred in the Bentley. When Batman asks whether Alfred had any trouble getting to them, Alfred replies "None sir." and holds up a pistol. To put it another way, Alfred is Battle Butler incarnate.
Note also that if any other member of his team were to carry a gun, Batman would most likely fire them on the spot. But Alfred is the exception. Why? Because Bruce needs him more than any of the others. (Also possibly because Alfred's so much older.)
Probably the latter. Modern portrayals of Alfred generally show him as an ex-military badass, but he's old and doesn't have the physical combat skills the rest of the Bat-family do.
The above point gets very much proven when Alfred renders a younger, highly-skilled intruder that was able to enter Wayne Manor despite its extensive security measures unconscious with non-lethal bullets and defends himself to Bruce thusly
In a flashback sequence in the House of Hush storyline in Streets of Gotham, Alfred is shown singlehandedly stopping an attempted hit on Leslie Thompkins.
In the Booster Gold series, Booster goes back in time to the early days of Batman; when he goes to the Batcave he's repelled by Alfred using a rifle.
And in Public Enemies, he guarded the cave with a shotgun.
In the Injustice: Gods Among Us prequel comic, Alfred delivers a beating to Superman himself, courtesy of a stolen strength-enhancing pill.
Alfred is a Retired Badass in Batman: The Animated Series, having once been an officer for Interpol. Even Robin is surprised at this revelation.
And in one episode of The Batman, he's able to knock out the Penguin by throwing a serving tray; seems he learned a few things from watching Bruce use a batarang.
In the No Man's Land arc he defended Wayne Manor from a group of armed looters single-handed using stealth and his military training to prevent them from discovering the Batcave.
In the crossover between the Predator and Batman. Bruce has had to make a custom made suit to combat the Predator and with the long drawn out fight leading to the Batcave. As the Predator is about to land a killing blow to Bruce, Alfred gains the Predator's attention and proceeds to unloads a whole blast from a blunderbuss straight into the Predator's chest and even tries to load the weapon to continue the fight. And all this when Batman told him to stay away from the fight. Truly a loyal butler, no matter what.
In Batman: Earth One, Alfred is technically head of security at Wayne Manor at the request of Thomas Wayne, but calls himself a butler when he becomes Bruce's legal guardian. This Alfred is freshly discharged from active service in the armed forces (due to the loss of his leg), acts a little rougher around the edges than his usual depictions, and doesn't hesitate to blow away Mayor Oswald Cobblepot with a shotgun in order to save Batman's life.

Rebuild World: Since the Lion Steel MegaCorp is known for their Ninja Maid servants and agents for hire, eventually they’re shown to have just as many male servants, such as Chloe’s chief butler Lattis, who’s a Noble Demon Evil Counterpart to Reina’s maid themed bodyguard Shiori. All the maids and butlers in the company wear advanced Powered Armor under those styling (and the more advanced the armor, the less it looks like that). Reina also ends up getting Togami such a butler outfit.

Glorfindel in The Lord of the Rings. Granted, his specific position is never stated: but his normal role doesn't seem to be combat related, since he doesn't dress in armor or carry weapons most of the time. He certainly speaks to Elrond the way that a butler might be expected to. However, he has led Rivendell's military in the past and to great effect: notably at the Battle of the Last Alliance, and during the wars with Angmar. In the book it is revealed that the Ringwraiths are terrified of him, and for good reason: he's as powerful as a Maia, possibly even close to Sauron's power level. He is an example of an otherwise normal (well, normal for a Noldor elf) character Taking a Level in Badass. He's actually a reincarnated hero of the First Age, a Lord of Gondolin famous for killing a balrog (the name for evil Maiar of lesser power than Sauron). The reason he's serving Elrond is presumably because Elrond is the great-grandson of his previous lord, Turgon. However it should be noted that this would be Glorfindel's choice: as his oath of fealty to Turgon wouldn't require him to serve Turgon's heirs. Elves, being immortal, swear their oaths to individuals rather than families. Since the inhabitants of Gondolin were primarily Turgon's household servants and/or distant relatives (Glorfindel seems to have been both), he could qualify for this trope in relation to Turgon as well. Given that his house was named "The Golden Flower", it's a pretty safe bet that their primary duties weren't related to combat: but Glorfindel himself was evidently a badass even back then.

Roger Smith's manservant Norman in The Big O. In addition to making soup and cleaning the house, he's quite handy with a machine gun and drives a motorcycle with a rocket launcher in the side car. To stress how badass Norman is, one need only look to the Christmas episode. Roger, mid-fight, asks Norman to get his dry-cleaning. Norman accomplishes this by taking his motorcycle and driving it through the building without slowing down. Not only did he grab the laundry, he got a date on the way out. And then there's this one time in the second season when the Smith house is under attack, Norman responds with heavy artillery and exquisitely delivered profanity.

Final Fantasy XV's Ignis Scientia is one of the personal bodyguards to Prince Noctis, fighting off threats to the prince's safety with a pair of daggers and a spear. He also serves as the chauffeur of the Regalia, the prince's custom sports car, and cooks for the prince and his friends during their excursions into the wilderness. Later on, Ignis both risks his life and sacrifices his eyesight to protect the prince from not one but two assailants!
He was also assigned and raised to be Noctis' adviser at the age of six. In the short anime adaptation, Brotherhood, Ignis cooks and cleans for Noctis while the two are in high school, the latter of which is living in an apartment by himself. As in the game, Ignis chauffeurs for Noctis albeit in a different car. He also attends meetings and takes down notes for him. Essentially, Ignis is a butler to Prince Noctis in all but name. And indeed, he is quite the capable fighter, acting as the group strategist and filling a mainly supportive role with spells to enhance the others' attacks and using potions and later a special move to heal them.

Girl Genius. A list to date:
Ardsley Wooster? Gil's manservant and pretty much the Verse's James Bond analogue
Airman Higgs later takes over Wooster's role.
Wooster's counterpart, on the other side of the Wulfenbach/Sturmvarous rivalry, is Violetta, who seems to be a much purer example of this trope. She's a Smoke Knight and Tarvek's cousin, who serves him as a joint bodyguard/trainer/butler.
Von Pinn. She's basically a nanny. A Mad Science Super-Soldier nanny. Because child care is Serious Business.
Boris Dolokhov is Baron Wulfenbach's aide/secretary/administrative assistant because of his organizing skills and eidetic memory. He is also gifted with perfect balance, enhanced reflexes, flawless hand-eye coordination, and two extra arms due to some augmentation work done by his previous employer. He manages to go one-on-one with a Jägermonster and come out on top.
Also on Castle Wulfenbach there are the Lackya, "super-engineered squirrels" in pink coats who serve as footmen. Most of the time they seem to have (relatively) normal duties, but when the castle is under attack by slaver wasps, they join the clanks and Jägers to fight them off. Jägers look down on "nancy-boy feetsmen", but even they punch through rather tough constructs with bare hands.
...In fact, just about everyone who works for Klaus in a non-military capacity seems to be some version of this trope.

Amaki in Morenatsu is implied to be one of these many times, with such quotes as "how did he get behind me so silently" If you do a certain action to one of the love interests he calls you out to the park the next day and warns you "anything that hurts or confuses" his charge "should be removed".

In Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, Opera, Sullivan's household servant, is easily one of the most powerful demons in the series, able to assist in taking down the massive magical beasts attacking Walter Park largely barehanded, among others. They're even strong enough that Kalego, a rank 8 demon, seems to fear and defer to them, although this could also be because they picked on him in high school (and never really stopped). Perhaps the only demon we've seen definitively stronger than Opera is Sullivan himself.

Long before the plot of Chitra kicked off, Radelk was a famous warrior who defeated the feared Demon King — until he retired to become a butler because it seemed like a more comfortable position. When Chitra Serekino summons him from an RPG Mechanics Verse-style gacha, he steps right into the role of butler to the Serekino household. Though Radelk dresses in a well-tailored suit and serves a perfectly brewed cup of tea, he retains his incredible combat prowess and magic casting abilities, serving as Chitra's first and most trusted enforcer.

A rather macabre version of this appears in the Dungeon Magazine module "Horror's Havest", an adventure set in the Ravenloft setting. The Player Characters have to deal with a madman living in a mansion, where the servants (including a butler and a seemingly-harmless maid) are juju zombies, that they have to fight. (It is implied that he murdered his servants and cursed them with this condition). And dealing with this villain is only done to gain a clue about the real villain.

Alfred from Princess Lover!. When Princess Charlotte's carriage is attacked by a group of thugs in a jeep, despite appearing elderly he leaps into their vehicle and starts beating the crap out of them. The leader pulls a pistol on him and he removes its slide (ala Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4) before the thug can even think about pulling the trigger. If not for Charlotte's carriage crashing in the process, main character Teppei's own attempted rescue would've been completely superfluous in the face of Alfred's badassery.

The very first filler in the anime also has an elderly, childless rich couple try to adopt P-chan/Ry�ga, and when Ranma (reluctantly) tries to retrieve him, the three butlers/servants chasing him promptly pull off their bowties and reveal martial artist weapons, much to Ranma's shock. The Abridged Chronicles lampshades this trope. It was also probably the most well-animated and choreographed fight of the whole season, despite how short it was.

There is an actual class of Pokémon trainer called "Castle Valet" (Castle Butler in the Japanese version) in Pokémon, however it refers to Darach. Darach is implied to be the actual battler, while Caitlin just sits down watching the battle. There is also a class of trainer named "Maid".
What about Waiters and Waitresses?
In Pokémon X and Y, there's a trainer class titled Butler, though its only member is Butler Chalmers.
Siebold of the Kalos Elite Four also qualifies. Although not a butler, he is a famous chef.
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, there's an odd variation in Indeedee. They are butlers... but only the male variants, while the females are babysitters. No matter the gender, however, they can tango with the other Pokemon just fine.

Sayoko Shinozaki from Code Geass, though her case is something of a subversion. Though she exhibits an understandable protective streak towards Nunnally, she aids the terrorist Zero without realizing that he's actually Nunnally's older brother Lelouch. In addition, she has yet to exhibit it, but the writing staff has repeatedly hinted that she may turn out to be as impressive a fighter as the beyond-human Suzaku. And all this due to her runaway popularity with the audience.
Stopped being an Informed Ability in episodes 12 and 13 of the second season, where the notion that she was a ninja went from Fanon to Canon.

Touhou Project:
Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil serves as both Remilia Scarlet's head maid and Battle Butler. In a similar fashion, Youmu Konpaku from Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom is the battle butler for the undead princess Yuyuko, although Youmu is Yuyuko's gardener, rather than her butler.
Many Stage 5 bosses are the Battle Butlers of the stage 6 ones. There is Sakuya in EoSD, Youmu in PCB, Reisen in IN, Sanae in MoF, Shou in UFO, Futo in TD... and then Subterranean Animism totally inverts it: the Stage 5 and 6 are the pets of the Stage 4 boss*Although some could said that Rin, the Stage 5 boss of the game is an old friend of Utsuho, the final boss of the game, so she definitely fits the archetype.. Similarly, the stage 5 boss Seija from Double Dealing Character is the actual perpetrator, with the stage 6 boss Shinmyoumaru being someone she tricked. In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, on the other hand, the stage 5 boss Clownpiece is the subordinate of the Optional Boss Hecatia and has been empowered by stage 6 boss Junko. Hidden Star in Four Seasons brings back the tradition with the introduction of not only one, but two battle butlers named Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida as penultimate bosses.
Side note: Imperishable Night kind of has two battle butlers, somehow predating Mai and Satono from Hidden Star in Four Seasons above. Reisen, as mentioned, follows Eirin's orders in stage 5, and Eirin becomes the final boss... if you take Final A. Because, as revealed at the end of Final A and throughout Final B, Eirin is also a battle butler, to Kaguya Houraisan.
Yumeko in Mystic Square was the one who started this trend. Although, on a more general level, one could say it was actually Marisa herself who started the tradition way back in her debut in the first Touhou shooter, Story of Eastern Wonderland, being the assistant of the final boss Mima.

Final Fantasy:
Babus from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. He looks like just another Nu Mou, who is serving under Prince Mewt, until you face him in battle, that is. He is quite strong, magically and physically, and is 10x more dangerous when you have to fight him alone at one point.
In Final Fantasy XIV, you can hire retainers, who can be assigned a class by the player. These include gardening and fishing, but can also include a majority of the combat classes as well, such as Maurader or Lancer. If you assign them a combat class, you can send them on missions to hunt and explore for you, and their level can go as high as your own in that particular class.
Also notable is the Machinist questline character Joye of the Nine Faces, the cute assistant to Stephanivien who goes from demure and timid to a hard-firin' foul-mouthed bombshell when she lets her hair down.
Final Fantasy XV's Ignis Scientia is one of the personal bodyguards to Prince Noctis, fighting off threats to the prince's safety with a pair of daggers and a spear. He also serves as the chauffeur of the Regalia, the prince's custom sports car, and cooks for the prince and his friends during their excursions into the wilderness. Later on, Ignis both risks his life and sacrifices his eyesight to protect the prince from not one but two assailants!
He was also assigned and raised to be Noctis' adviser at the age of six. In the short anime adaptation, Brotherhood, Ignis cooks and cleans for Noctis while the two are in high school, the latter of which is living in an apartment by himself. As in the game, Ignis chauffeurs for Noctis albeit in a different car. He also attends meetings and takes down notes for him. Essentially, Ignis is a butler to Prince Noctis in all but name. And indeed, he is quite the capable fighter, acting as the group strategist and filling a mainly supportive role with spells to enhance the others' attacks and using potions and later a special move to heal them.

Mack Bolan (The Executioner series by Don Pendelton) would occasionally run into loyal Mafiosi who fit this description when he tried infiltration instead of his usual One-Man Army approach, which didn't make his task any easier.

Lenny from Shadow Hearts: From The New World. He used to be a member of the Terrible Trio in Covenant, but in this game, he serves as Johnny's butler after, while tired and thirsty in the streets, being given water by Johnny many years ago. With just a phone call, he can punch an energy bomb from his fist at the enemy. From halfway across the world. Mainly because he has a contract with a demon called Godhand.

Bugg from the Malazan Book of the Fallen. He is the understated yet absolutely loyal manservant to Impoverished Patrician Tehol Beddict. Though unassuming, it becomes quickly obvious that the criminal underbelly of Letheras doesn't want the attention of this friendly old man and he is not afraid to face ancient, long-buried, and forgotten gods. As it turns out, in addition to being a suitably quirky sidekick to Tehol, Bugg is Mael, the Elder God of the Seas, in disguise.

Not a butler, per se, but Mikoto Minagi from My-HiME plays Battle Butler to two different characters. First, she's Mai's faithful sidekick (whom she likes very much), and later she becomes one for her brother, who has the soul of the series' Big Bad living inside him. Despite her conflicting loyalties, she swears to protect them from anything that gets in her way...and boy, can she ever.

Warhammer 40,000
Jurgen is battle butler to Ciaphas Cain. Asides from carrying a BFG of a fusion weapon, being Cain's driver and general aide, Jurgen makes sure that Cain always has a cup of Tanna tea at hand. Jurgen is also, due to an incredibly rare gene, a psychic null. He has no connection to the Warp whatsoever and makes even demons uncomfortable. Of course that could just be his body odour.
The Seneschal player class in Rogue Trader is described to be half-this, half-The Spymaster on its Flavor Text, dealing with the minutiae of running an interstellar trading empire so his Intrepid Merchant master can focus on more important stuff... and this "minutiae" including such things as handling vast intelligence networks and "handling" threats to his master.

Finally, Transformers: Animated crosses the Battle Butler with the Yes-Man in the character Lugnut. His only apparent motivation for fighting (or doing anything, really) is his undying loyalty to Megatron. Naturally, he hates Starscream, and will use his Punch of Kill Everything to pound you into the dirt for even the slightest hint of disrespect or treason.
Lugnut has two driving forces in his programming: The compulsion to serve the grand and glorious Megatron, and the utter destruction of Autobots (in the name of his glorious master).

Doctor Who:
Hermann in the classic serial City of Death.
Former Sontaran warrior Strax acts as butler for Madame Vastra, which is usually Played for Laughs. He will threaten you with obliteration and then offer to hang up your coat for you. There's Ninja Maid Jenny in the house too, altogether making the Paternoster Gang not to be messed with, even without the Doctor.
Spin-Off Torchwood has Ianto Jones, the snazzily-dressed, occasionally-asskicking (or -tasering) teaboy. His job description according to his boss/eventual boyfriend is "cleans up after us, gets us everywhere on time...and looks good in a suit." This does not stop him doing just as much, if not more, field work than the rest of the team (which, Torchwood being Torchwood, involves lots of shooting things). In "Fragments", there's a flashback to when he begged Jack for a job at Torchwood, and he explicitly says, "A butler! I could be a butler!"

Changeling: The Lost (1st edition) divides Changelings into seemings (general 'character classes' as determined by appearance and magic affinities) and kiths (specialized classes determined by the nature of the character's Durance). The Wizened seeming has the "Chatelaine" kith, for preternaturally skilled manservants and house-managers. Combine this with a fighting style (such as Kung Fu or Boxing), and BAM, instant Battle Butler.

Eddie Kessler in Boardwalk Empire is, at first sight, just Nucky Thompson's Funny Foreigner Beleaguered Assistant, whose loyalty in the face of constant belittlement is striking in a show full of backstabbing and personal ambition. He has a chance to shine in the climax of the third season, however, as an attempt is made on Nucky's life and he shows impressive skill as a getaway driver and bodyguard. After that, Nucky starts to realise how much he relies on Eddie and tries to show him more respect. In a subversion of the trope, though, once he's shown his abilities as a soldier Eddie is unsatisfied going back to a life of fetching his boss's meals and packing his suitcases, and asks for a more active role in the organisation.

Baccano! has three of them, played with varying levels of straightness: Christopher Shouldered is the most simple and straightforward example, serving as Ricard Russo's bodyguard out of gratitude for saving his life. Chane Laforet is a little more complicated, as she was an almost disturbingly loyal servant of her manipulative father up until her run-in with Claire Stanfield, after which she finds herself fretting the inevitable Friend-or-Idol Decision. Ennis is a subversion — she initially fits all of the characteristics of a typical Battle Butler for Big Bad Szilard Quates (up to and including wearing suits and serving as his driver), until she gets the opportunity to voice her thoughts: she serves him only because he can kill her with a single thought if she doesn't, and hates him more than anyone else does for the things he makes her do.

Largo notes that despite being an uptight Englishman in his sixties, Tyler can save his life twice, shoot four men, and quote Chateaubriand in a single day of work. Tyler's martial prowess comes from the fact that he is a retired British soldier hired by Robert Cotton to spy on and manipulate Largo.

The team of Delia and Mr. Mime had, on at least one occasion, helped protect the nearby Pokémon Lab from a Team Rocket attack. In Pokémon Adventures, the Berlitz family's old butler, Sebastian, shows a reasonable amount of battling skill when he thinks Dia is an intruder on the estate. You really can't blame him for being a bit paranoid after what recently happened to his masters.

Subverted in Tomb Raider III, as your butler at Lara's Estate acts as more of a battle dummy butler. After acquiring the twin pistols, he is decked out in bulletproof padding (with his silver tray as a shield), allowing you to shoot him to your heart's content. This is most likely a reaction to people being bothered by him following you everywhere in Tomb Raider II, which led to the discovery of the "lock the butler in the freezer" exploit. The developers probably decided to throw us a bone, and go mad on him with bullets.

Maid RPG has a specific set of optional rules for these: Butlers have stats superior to those that maid characters do, but have a number of restrictions as well. As battle is far from uncommon in many Maid RPG sessions, butlers have their times to shine in fulfillment of this trope, especially in defense of their respective Master characters.
A great deal of a typical game session consists of the maid characters conflicting with each other (not normally at a PvP-ish level) due to personality clashes, outside loyalties (none of them technically being against the Master's side in no way means they need to be on the same side, or that of society or sanity), domestic squabbles and general random weirdness going on at the same time. This also tends to repeatedly put maids into situations they're individually very badly suited for. While the role of a butler isn't absolutely necessary, a butler explicitly being required to be above it all makes one useful to have around both to keep the other players at least working together whenever the plot demands it and to give to a player who isn't comfortable mixed up in the competitive elements.

In the mini-series Doctor Strange The Oath, Strange reveals that Wong has been his tutor in the martial arts over the years:
At a time when the Hood was The Dreaded, Hood and his gang attacked Dr. Strange and the New Avengers while Strange was an invalid. Wong didn't take too kindly to this and fought Hood one-on-one. The Hood didn't stand a chance.

Ephant Mon from Star Wars Legends. Despite (or because of) his lack of criminal ruthlessness or selfishness, he was a loyal servant to Jabba the Hutt, and almost certainly the gangster's only actual friend. Ends up reluctantly leaving Jabba's service after trying (and failing) to get him to release Luke Skywalker.
There's also the Tac-Spec FIII Footman Droid, programmed for such roles as chef, waiter, chauffeur, and valet and equipped with such tools as the ability to make a head-shot from 10 km away, a high-power railgun in their arm, and the strength to drive their fist through a tank. Of course, they were built in secret on a "you ask, we sell" basis for nobles and Corrupt Corporate Executives by a front company for an assassin's guild...

Although Gunner Ferik Jurgen of the Ciaphas Cain series isn't a butler in the conventional sense, he certainly fits this trope as Commissar Ciaphas Cain's aide. He even carries out some of the typical duties of a valet when there isn't any shooting going on, such as finding accommodations, food, and entertainment suitable for a HERO OF THE IMPERIUM and keeping unwelcome visitors from disturbing the Commissar's peace.
A running joke in the series is that Jurgen has as much, or more of a claim to being a real hero than Cain himself. Cain acknowledges this and is constantly annoyed that no one else ever does.

Alfred is tamer in The Batman, but he does have his moments, usually in episodes involving the Penguin. A backstory on the show says that Alfred's (presumably deceased) grandfather was a butler for the Cobblepots (who he described as "obnoxious snobs") who treated him like dirt and then fired him. (It doesn't help that the Penguin is pretty rude himself, calling Alfred "Jeeves", even more so after he recognizes the name Pennyworth.) Naturally, Alfred does not like the Penguin at all, and tends to do anything he thinks can help Batman when the villain shows up.

Paul Moriyama in Sgt. Frog is Momoka's butler, seemingly charged with caring and protecting her. He is also alluded to be massively powerful, and in the manga, it's hinted he's a veteran of World War II. See this video at around 0:16. Paul has a very impressive musculature.

Walter C. Dornez from Hellsing is a rather literal example. Not only is he incredibly badass and able to kill armies of vampires with his Razor Floss since he was 14 years old, but his devotion to Integra and the British crown is unquestioned. Until his still questioned Face–Heel Turn, making him some kind of Blood Knight or so..

Wild ARMs:
Wild ARMs 3 has Todd Dukakis, who serves as the butler of The Rival of the protagonists to the point of accompanying her and her family on treasure-hunting expeditions. He is also quite good with a sword and shows his loyalty by briefly aiding the protagonists in the rescue of his master when she is abducted by another group of villains.
Todd himself is a Shout-Out to Macdullen/Magdalen from the first Wild ARMs. He's literally a combat butler; he's always by Jane Maxwell's side, and while he doesn't do much battle-worthy in the original game, in the remake he uses a sword quite effectively (and will even join your party at points).

Half the cast in Inu × Boku SS: Miketsukami, Yukinokouji, Karuta, Natsume. Interestingly, for the most part, their masters (except Watanuki) are even more battle-capable.

Transformers (or more specifically, Megatron) has a ton of these.
Transformers: Generation 1 has Shockwave and Soundwave, both logical, level-headed, and more than willing to kick aft in Megatron's name. Soundwave even saved Megatron's life once in The Movie, though his loyalty apparently wasn't great enough to stop The Starscream and the other Decepticons from tossing him out Astrotrain's airlock five minutes later. A deleted scene after the battle for Megatron's position as leader would have pointed out that Soundwave was fighting in order to make Astrotrain turn around and rescue Megatron. And Shockwave even has a British accent!
Beast Wars has Inferno, combined with a dash of Sociopathic Soldier, who has a glitch in his programming causing him to think he really is a fire ant, with Megatron as his "Queen." The fact that Megatron is male doesn't seem to bother him.
From Transformers: Armada, Demolisher could qualify, but the real winner was Starscream of all mechs, who lost his memory in the sequel Transformers: Energon. For one glorious season Megatron had the most loyal Decepticon he could ever ask for, and one who eventually followed Megatron into the Energon sun, to their mutual deaths.
Finally, Transformers: Animated crosses the Battle Butler with the Yes-Man in the character Lugnut. His only apparent motivation for fighting (or doing anything, really) is his undying loyalty to Megatron. Naturally, he hates Starscream, and will use his Punch of Kill Everything to pound you into the dirt for even the slightest hint of disrespect or treason.
Lugnut has two driving forces in his programming: The compulsion to serve the grand and glorious Megatron, and the utter destruction of Autobots (in the name of his glorious master).
The Transformers: Prime version of Soundwave is also this. While he usually just hovers ominously in the background, his presence alone keeps Starscream from pulling the plug on a half-dead Megatron. Airachnid learned this the hard way.

Nobledark Imperium: Ciaphas Cain's assistant during his stay as the Imperium's ambassador to Biel-Tan is a prim, stuffy graduate of the Schola Progenium named Edmond Aldsworth (his usual aide Jurgen is traveling with Inquisitor Vail, since you'd have to be crazy to take a blank to a Craftworld full of psykers). Unknown to both Cain and the majority of Biel-Tan's population, Edmond did not train as a diplomat at the Schola, but as a stormtrooper, and spent most of his career afterwards doing things like performing counterraids on Dark Eldar slavers in the bowels of hive cities and hunting Ork kommandoz. He still has a necklace of Ork trigger finger bones stashed away that's worn more like a bandolier.

Mr Bates in Downton Abbey in the backstory: he was batman (military valet; see Real Life section below) to Lord Grantham during The Second Boer War. His (extremely important) leg injury was received in that war. Bates has not had any need to physically defend Lord Grantham since then, but he has not been afraid to use his considerable physical strength on extremely rare occasions in the interests of justice.
Footman William Mason ends up in France during World War I as Matthew Crawley's batman, and dies from injuries sustained saving Matthew during the last push at Amiens.
