Their goals are evil, but their means? Not so much.
A Noble Demon is a villainous character with a Code of Honour. They don't care that they have a bad image — they may even actively cultivate and embrace it. However, every so often a situation presents itself and they're just not willing to go the extra mile necessary to be completely evil. They'll topple your castle, but they'll do it right after everyone has cleared out first. They'll sacrifice whole armies to achieve their goal but they'll also sacrifice themself if they must. They'll conquer your village but they won't cause more destruction than necessary. They want to kill The Hero but they won't stab an enemy in the back. They'll hold some innocent Hostage for MacGuffin while treating them well and letting them go unharmed once the MacGuffin is handed over, and proclaiming that I Gave My Word. Their ambition might be to Take Over the World, or merely to uphold the evil side of the Balance Between Good and Evil. They might ask, "Would You Like to Hear How They Died?", but they won't press the issue any further if you say no.
They might be obsessed with explaining this behavior so people won't think that they've gone soft. Killing enemies or servants who have failed but are loyal is "a waste of resources" and their inevitable newfound friends are "tactically advantageous allies."
A lot of this behavior is sometimes explained as the result of a complex they acquired when they felt weak and helpless, and if shown enough love, they may turn over a new leaf. Alternately, their nobility often gives them an opportunity to demonstrate Villainous Valour in the face of the hero's successes. And while Noble Demons are generally far from nice, being noble and powerful seems to imply they are above petty and malicious acts, or at least uninterested in them.
A Noble Demon who's a Proud Warrior Race Guy often comments that their enemies are (or have become) petty and cowardly and stain the name of their species. Likewise, when other villains show their true colors under pressure, the Noble Demon is likely to show Villainous Valour.
Often experiences Sympathy for the Devil from the heroes, and may perhaps show Sympathy for the Hero right back. If Eviler than Thou comes up, the Noble Demon will likely be on the less evil end. May also be the "grayer" character in A Lighter Shade of Grey. On the Sliding Scale of Character Appreciation, these guys fall under "Villains we sympathize with".
Compare the less villainous versions: Ascended Demon, Family-Values Villain, or Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
Whether Anti-Villain or Anti-Hero beneath the facade, expect a Noble Demon's motives to include getting plenty of Villain Cred.
See also Ambiguously Evil and Lawful Evil. Contrast with Card-Carrying Villain who doesn't deny they're evil but is much more willing to cross the Moral Event Horizon. Also contrast with Faux Affably Evil, whose kind acts only serve to benefit them (though milder examples of this may still qualify). Villains lacking this trait will usually be Always Chaotic Evil. Compare and contrast Nominal Hero, a character who does heroic deeds for all the wrong reasons, and the Well-Intentioned Extremist, whose goals are benign but whose methods are evil.
Noble Demons are never Complete Monsters, as both a Complete Monster's actions and means are purely evil and they have no code or even sense of honor to abide to. Furthermore, a Complete Monster is never presented in any positive way, whereas honor is a redeeming feature for the Noble Demon.

Natsume's Book of Friends: Madara is a powerful man-eating youkai who is next in line to inherit the main character's MacGuffin, and has repeatedly stated that he wants nothing more than for said main character to hurry up and die so he can claim it. Nonetheless, he follows Natsume around as a bodyguard and saves his life on numerous occasions. He usually gets very defensive when other youkai point out that he's essentially Natsume's servant, usually deflecting the accusations by claiming that the main character is his pet or his prey (hence why he'll beat the crap out of anyone else who tries to hurt him).

Megamind is a perfect example of this, with more than enough affable evil thrown in for good measure. When he manages to "kill" his arch-nemesis in the first fifteen minutes of the film, he is honestly shocked and really quite horrified at first. After a brief villainous spree, he regrets his actions even more and works to make it right.
This trope is also implied earlier on with how Roxanne responds to each of his deathtraps with little more than an eye roll and a snarky quip. Regardless of how many times she's seen them before, there's no way on Earth she would react so calmly to them unless she was absolutely positive that he wouldn't actually use them.
His sole motivation for becoming a villain was there already was a hero. Everything he does is in the interest of preserving a balance. He even creates a new hero after "killing" the original one. Didn't work out quite as well as he hoped, but it's the thought that matters.

Pluto in Astro Boy was created to be the World's Strongest Man, and over the course of his appearances, he travels the world and kills six powerful and generally decent robots essentially just to prove this fact and clear the path for his master to Take Over the World. However, he is also polite, honorable, avoids killing anyone aside from those robots, spares Astro's life after Astro saves his, is genuinely regretful when Astro appears to have died, and is repeatedly stated to be Just Following Orders.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: there's Alito, one of the Barians, the only one with any sense of honor and fair play. (The others tend to regard him as "immature" and "childish".) He seems to consider Yuma a Friendly Enemy (a sentiment shared by Yuma) and has developed a crush of sorts on Kotori u him it shifts to Yuma.
Durbe of the Barian Emperors might be the original embodiment of this trope. While he showed in the battle of Saragasso that he will use any means to win, even using a dirty trick (which was part of Vector's plan), he only does so because of his noble intention in saving the Barian World, no matter the cost. He is also known to praise his opponents for their skills as he did with Shark (before knowing his true identity) and Droite (in the final battle on Earth). He puts an end to any unnecessary fights between the emperors, and trusts them and acknowledges their skills. Even his Chaos Number is named after this trope. His noble soul is shown the most during his final duel with Merag against Vector, Where he sacrificed himself to ensure Merag's victory on the traitor. Might also overlap with Wicked Cultured and Anti-Villain.
Also from the Barian Emperors is Mizael. Unlike Durbe, he puts himself under the same conditions as Kaito during their duel, claiming he didn’t need any tricks to defeat him. Later, after his final duel with Kaito resulted in his defeat and regaining his true memories, he honors Kaito’s last request and hand’s the Number card created from their dragons to give to Yuma.

Mosp, of Sluggy Freelance, is an extremely literal example, what with being a demon and also very, very noble. Her nobility comes across slowly as a product of Torg's compassion for her. It doesn't end well for her.

Bleach: Grimmjow Jaggerjaquez. He is certainly ruthless in battle, and has no qualms over killing those weaker than he is (it's a dog-eat-dog world in Hueco Mundo). But his sense of honor shows in his desire to only fight opponents at their best, going so far as to make a prisoner heal his latest rival, even if he has to trap a fellow Espada to do it.

Byzantium: Darvell. Despite the rather elitist company he surrounds himself with he has always shown Clara kindness and is by far the most likable member of Brethren. His loyalty to the brotherhood is born out of the fact they saved his life. He also respects both Clara and her daughter for how they've chosen their victims. He eventually sides with Clara in the finale.

A Certain Magical Index: Early villain Accelerator becomes this after his character development and Heel–Face Turn to Unscrupulous ero/Nominal Hero near the end of the first season. Although he secretly wants to be a hero, he still thinks of himself as a villain no better than the ones he now kills (and proclaims this loudly even to those he has rescued) since he doesn't believe he can be forgiven after slaughtering 10031 clones. Much later in the novels he ditches this trope and being a Card-Carrying Villain entirely and shifts to a Pragmatic Hero, declaring that villainy was just not working out for him and instead moves to Above Good and Evil.

Angel:
Illyria, who is a literal demon king, has a tendency to give self-serving justifications for her helpfulness. Given the below Buffy example, this might be part of the reason why she gets along with Spike so well. It could also be that he's fairly resilient even by vampiric standards, so he's the only remotely acceptable toy she has on hand in what is otherwise a World Of Cardboard.
The demon Boone fought Angel in the 1920s, but let him go when the sun came up because it would have been too easy.
There's plenty of benign demons in the Buffyverse, but Lorne goes above and beyond the call of duty. His club, Caritas (Latin for "sanctuary") was specifically designed to bring human and demonkind together peacefully.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Kastelai Vampires are essentially the Mortal Realms' version of the Blood Dragon Knights, and might even be descended from Abhorash himself; they see themselves as noble warriors bound to a strict code of honor, and while for some it's only an affectation, others are serious about it. The vampires in The Last Volari, for instance, were actually beloved by the mortals they ruled over as saviors and guardians, and while the Volari didn't exactly care for the mortals, they took their vow of protection over them very seriously, only feeding on condemned criminals and outside invaders.

Honor Harrington: Rob S. Pierre is a ruthless Dolist manager who clawed his way up to become the head of the People's Republic of Haven. He did it mostly to fight off the other factions who would have done it anyways and been worse than him, and he actually has a plan to fix everything. It actually works, and when a democratic revolution after his death establishes a stable and free government, they owe his efforts at fixing the economy.
Pierre is more of a Tragic Villain, who continued the path the Legislaturalists laid out before him because the Havenite economy would collapse otherwise and he could see no way out. Stephen Westman is a more accurate example. He bombs are designed to affect and discredit the Star Kingdom of Manticore, and he sends warnings to evacuate before his bombs detonate. It surely couldn't be echoing the original IRA in a fantasy counterpart war, could it now?
The better sort of seccy crime lords in Torch of Freedom and (to an even greater extent) Cauldron of Ghosts, fall into this category. The first pair of characters to exact a bloody price from the rampaging OPS thugs during Operation Ratcatcher, despite knowing how doing so has to end given the disparity of numbers and armaments between the two sides are introduced as follows:

Low Ki lashed out at perceived slights that were not actually dealt towards him in Pro Wrestling ZERO1, was part of his fair share of rotten power stables in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and often tended to be an asshole during matches. Besides referees though, he generally respected officials, seemed generally happy to be in both companies, graciously accepted his awards and though he mostly ignored the cheering of the crowds for him, didn't resort to too much Cheap Heat or anything to really disquiet them.

Ah! My Goddess: Hild. She's still evil, as proven by her efforts to make Belldandy into a demon or to break up Belldandy and Keichii just to see if she could piss the former off enough to do something evil, but Hild enforces an existence of somewhat-noble demons, demons that live by making pacts and are bound in an agreement to never kill goddesses (though they can still fight them). She genuinely loves her daughter, Urd (though that won't stop her from beating the crap out of Urd if Urd stands in her way), and is distinctly less evil than many in Niflheim, evidenced when those more evil revolted against her. Turns out Hild's Faux Affably Evil Pragmatic Villainy is a lot better than say, an Ax-Crazy psychopath or ambitious conqueror ruling hell. She's also implied to be a Benevolent Boss; the revolt by her more evil underlings was a desperate gambit to save Hild's life.

In Bruges: Harry is a violent crime boss, but with principles and a clear moral code. He is a caring father and does not tolerate anyone who harms a child, even by accident. The main driver of the film is his insistence on killing on of his own men, who'd accidentally killed a young boy. At the climax, when he thinks he's done the same thing, he promptly kills himself.
Although Ray and Ken could both also be seen as examples. Nobody in the film ever comes across as clearly evil.

Justice League:
Ultra-Humanite is quite morally ambiguous for a villain. While he does a series of serious crimes, like blowing up a modern art museum because he despises Modernism, he also tends to help the heroes in certain occasions. A particular example is in the Christmas Episode where he helps the Flash giving a desired toy to a group of orphans.
Oddly enough, both of those plots are from the same episode! Ultra-Humanite waited until Christmas because he knew the museum would be empty, thus making for exactly zero casualties. In the ensuing fight with Flash, they accidentally smash the toy, and Humanite helps to repair and deliver it. He sums it up best when he points out he not only repaired it but improved it as well (it now tells stories instead of trashily rapping) and Flash asks if it's going to explode:
Earlier, in his introduction episode, (which is really Batman playing on all of the Injustice Gang) Batman is forced to trying to offer Ultra-Humanite double whatever Luthor was paying. Humanite counters by revealing he's not being paid but is in it because he cannot stand the lack of culture in modern society. Batman counters by offering to donate enough money to his favorite opera program on PBS to upgrade him from Viewers Like You to a named donor... and he'd put in a good word to the prison to get Humanite a TV to watch that. Humanite's Heel–Face Turn is what stops Luthor's plan once and for all.
Though more overtly evil than Humanite, Atomic Skull has a clearly much stronger moral code than his fellow Legion of Doom members. He rarely commits crimes on his own and typically operates as an enforcer for other criminals or participates in Meta-Brawl which, while illegal, is merely an underground fighting ring where people gamble on battles between willing metahuman combatants (and he's notably absent when they sink to using brainwashed unwilling heroes). He's also much more strongly in favor of allying with the Justice League to save the world than most of his allies, stating "Hey it's our world too!" and even risked his own skin to save Hawkgirl's life by carrying her unconscious body clear of an explosion.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Viral is quite honorable, despite always wanting to enact revenge on Kamina for tarnishing his reputation and pride.note Eventually, after Simon convinces him to make a Heel–Face Turn, Viral becomes an Anti-Hero. Here are several examples:
Just after the Hot Springs Episode, he not-so-politely asks the heroes to Please Put Some Clothes On and allows them to arm themselves before fighting him.
When he confronts Simon and Yoko over Kamina's whereabouts, and eventually accepts Simon as his new rival, he agrees to a fair one-on-one duel.
When said duel is interrupted by Cytomander, who takes Yoko hostage and orders Viral to perform a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on Gurren Lagann, Viral refuses and sheathes his axe, knowing that his honor cannot be regained that way.

A Practical Guide to Evil: Amadeus of the Green Stretch is what happens when you have a noble demon who is also a mentor to the main character. He starts out as the card-carrying dragon for the the Dread Empire of Praes, his first appearance involves him executing various members of the empire for being unnecessarily evil and oppressive towards the nation he had helped conquer, and by the end of the story he proves himself more than willing to sacrifice himself to achieve his goals, which incidentally doubles as an instance of the mentor curse taking its toll.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Greed is an extremely friendly example, being, by far, the least violent of the homunculi and a Benevolent Boss in contrast to his "siblings'" egregious use of You Have Outlived Your Usefulness. This quality is seen especially with the second incarnation of Greed. Toward the end of the series, he fights alongside the heroes and rescues people, which he justifies with having nothing better to do/his desire to take power for himself.

RWBY: Hazel is a villain that is set-up to appear to be the most considerate subordinate of Salem. He hates fighting, abhors unnecessary killing and is willing to help random strangers in need, such as when he helps Oscar obtain a train ticket. When he meets the leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan is ready to kill him on the spot for being a human who knows the location of her base. However, he patiently and politely insists that she hear him out and that no-one has to die, and is very unhappy when Adam suddenly assassinates Sienna to usurp her throne; he regards Adam's action as an unnecessary killing. However, Hazel is actually a subversion of the trope, being revealed as a hypocrite who will throw away all his beliefs for the chance to kill Ozpin. Blaming Ozpin for the death of his little sister, he has vowed to kill Ozpin over and over again in revenge. He doesn't hold back against anyone who tries to protect the fourteen-year-old Oscar, blaming the injuries he inflicts and his torture of Nora on Ozpin. He tells Oscar that he has no problem killing him because of the monster Oscar hides inside, stating that it's Ozpin's fault if Oscar dies. But it gets double subverted when he is ultimately persuaded to do a Heel–Face Turn along with Emerald and sacrifices himself to allow the heroes to escape Salem.

Fist of the North Star: Raoh is mostly this with hints of a Utopia Justifies the Means Tragic Villain. Sure, he'll subjugate the people of the wasteland to his will, but if his men are ruthlessly torturing villagers, then he won't hesitate to trample them to death atop his Cool Horse Kokuoh-go. Additionally, Raoh sheds a river of Tender Tears when his weaker, radiation-addled brother, Toki, cannot fulfill his childhood promise to stop Raoh's ambitions. Raoh openly shows respect for the bravery of the heroes who fall in battle, and notably orders his men to give Juza a Hero's Funeral for putting up an exceptionally valiant fight against him. He sheds further Tender Tears when compelled to kill Yuria, the final step in his transformation to godhood, yet could not because even a tyrant like him was deeply moved with respect for her kindness and nobility. The fact that he doesn't even kill Yuria but prolongs her life in spite of her radiation sickness so she can live on with Kenshiro shows his Vader-like redemption from Noble Demon to affectionate older brother.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS:
Akira Zaizen and Revolver could be considered downplayed versions. Zaizen is an employee for SOL Tech, a company willing to do whatever it takes to protect their profits. However, he cares for his younger sister and tries to help the protagonists when he can. Revolver is a straighter example, being a hacker hell bent on eradicating the Ignis and getting revenge on the person who put his dad into a coma, but he was also the one who alerted the authorities and ended the Lost Incident.
Bohman is also an example as he values fair play, since he believes that duels should be solely decided by the skill of the duelists, as much as his mission to win the war against the protagonists where those who lose duels get their conciousness taken from them. Furthermore, when he defeats one of his opponents, he allows them to see one of their loved ones before they disappear.

However, he refuses to let Elle Driver kill The Bride in her sleep, as in his own words "that would lower us", and is a loving father to The Bride's daughter.

Dungeon Keeper Ami:
Jadeite is an interesting case. While how evil he was in his original media is debatable, there is a definite trend towards nobility after Pemployment under Keeper Mercury. It helps that, by the standards of the local dimension he is rather tame.
Of further consideration is Keeper Mercury herself, who is viewed as this by most of the lightworld governments- and she wishes people would just drop the villain part already.

Captain Friedrich von Hecht in Hornets' Nest. He sees partisans (civilian resistance) as unlawful combatants and treats them accordingly, however, he considers ordinary Italian civilians as being off-limits. He'll use threats to try and dissuade them from helping the partisans, however, he is never shown actually going through with it, and looks down his nose at the SS because he disapproves of them targeting civilians as revenge for partisan activity.

The Dresden Files:
Gentleman Johnny Marcone runs a cut-throat criminal empire, but he will not tolerate rape, and he likes for his business to be done cleanly. He is renowned for 'disappearing' any gangster who hurts/tries to sell drugs to a child. He is fine with Harry and works with him when their interests coincide, and, as of Ghost Story is funding La Résistance as a way of keeping the Fomor off of his territory. He also steals the Shroud of Turin to heal a victim of a shootout between his gang and another.
Subverted in Death Masks by Paolo Ortega, who does a very good job of appearing to be an honorable vampire who only does what he must out of loyalty to his Court, wanting duel Harry to settle the war between the Red Court and White Counsel even if he threatens Harry's loved ones to force him to do so. In reality, he is as ruthless, pragmatic and evil as any Red Court vampire and just puts on the act for political advantages, as shown when tries to force Harry to lose the duel by continuing to threaten his loved ones and pulls out a gun when things don't go his way.
Also, Lara Raith. Similar to Marcone, she has her own (albeit, twisted) sense of honor and integrity, as Carlos Ramirez states that her word is good, and will frequently work with Dresden when their goals coincide, to the point where she could easily be mistaken for one of the good guys. Until Turn Coat, where she thoroughly disabuses Dresden himself of the notion that she's a "good guy".
Proven earlier in White Night, where she's heavily implied to be the one who gave Lady Malvora the plan to target the Ordo.

Ecliptor from Power Rangers in Space can be seen as Power Rangers original Noble Demon. While he asserted himself as evil, he genuinely cared about Astronema, even allowing her to escape when she tried to join the Rangers. He's eventually brainwashed to be more evil, but even in the finale, when he sees Andros standing over the lifeless body of Astronema, he's more concerned with trying to save her than fighting back.

Rikiel from Stone Ocean is the noblest of the three Sons of DIO introduced in this part. Lacking the negative qualities and sadism his two other brothers have, the only reason he fights the heroes is out of gratitude towards Pucci for awakening his Stand and saving him from his previous status as a Cosmic Plaything. Throughout his fight with Jolyne and co., he displays impressive determination and fights honourably, and he takes his defeat well enough that he's more than willing to divulge everything he knows about Pucci's plan.

Supernatural:
Crowley doesn't want the world to end and helps the Winchesters to find Death (partially because Lucifer would wipe out demons as well, but also because the other demons ate his tailor... it makes sense in context) and gives Bobby back his ability to walk... Although there was a deal (well, pawning) involved in the latter.
Then subverted when it's revealed that he can't actually get Sam's soul back and has been getting the Winchesters to do his dirty work, leading to Cas burning his bones and effectively 'killing' him.
And THEN it turns out that he was working with Cas so they could get the souls out of Purgatory.
Meg, starting in Season 6. In early seasons, she's a stone-cold evil Lucifer loyalist. After Crowley ascends as King of Hell, she enters into a series of Enemy Mine deals with the Winchesters that leads to a gradual Heel–Face Turn, fueled in large part by her growing affection for Castiel. She, not the Winchesters, cares for and protects Castiel after his nervous breakdown, and she saves the Winchesters more than once.

Whateley Universe:
Carmilla is noble and a demon. She's one of the protagonists, and yet she is directly descended from both Cthulhu and Shub-Niggurath and is supposed to take the mantle of The Kellith, to wipe humanity off the face of the earth and repopulate the planet with the seeds of The Great Old Ones. She's refusing to do so.
Dr. Diabolik, known colloquially to his kids as 'Dr. Dad'. His goals are fairly villainous all in all, or at least they appear to be; still, he likes to avoid collateral damage, refuses to allow the slaughter or maiming of civilians, and the like. Word of God has it that he does this at least in part to avoid being on the supervillain A-list: while he's at the top of the B-list, it's getting on the A-list that will really have everyone gunning for him. He also curbs his plans to attack Darwin when an Omnicidal Maniac turns up.

Randy Orton's face run in 2010. The lyrics to his entrance music show that it's no secret that he's extremely evil-minded. But the more his face gimmick goes on, the more he shows that he has standards regarding respect and earning your victories. This was shown more than ever during the buildup to Survivor Series 2010, in which John Cena was the special guest referee in Orton's WWE title match with Wade Barrett. John Cena was a reluctant member of Wade Barrett's group, The Nexus, and Barrett said that if Cena awarded Barrett the title, then Cena would be free from the Nexus, but if Randy Orton won, he would have Cena fired for violating Nexus orders. Orton was one of the first to point out that if Cena were to screw him over in the title match, while he would keep his job, it would make him the biggest phony in WWE and would be disrespecting everyone who ever won it by handing it over to a man who cheated to win it.

Claymore has several examples.
In the anime, Isley ends the war in the north, because he does not want any more Awakened Beings from his army to be killed in battle (indirectly, he also rescues many warriornesses).
Rigaldo has killed several warriornesses, but he seemed to care about killing them in a fair fight, and did not was sadistic about torturing his opponents.
Chronos and Lars were single-digit warriors in the first generation, and became two very strong Awakened Beings. However, when they notice that the fighting style of Raki is very similar to Isley's, they are quite polite with him and seem to have no intention of attacking and eating him.

The Graphite Bugster of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, for all that he's a Blood Knight, is more than willing to abide by the outcome of a battle, deeming the outcomes of his battles as sacred. When he fought one last battle against Kamen Riders Brave and Snipe, only for Cronus to use Pause to interfere with the resultnote defeating Graphite would allow the Riders to gain access to the final boss of Kamen Rider Chronicle, Gamedeus, meaning they could potentially clear the game and stop Masamune's plan, Graphite broke free of Pause, repelled Cronus, and then, with Pause about to end, walked right back into the path of the Rider Critical Finish that had been about to kill him.

Subverted in Death Masks by Paolo Ortega, who does a very good job of appearing to be an honorable vampire who only does what he must out of loyalty to his Court, wanting duel Harry to settle the war between the Red Court and White Counsel even if he threatens Harry's loved ones to force him to do so. In reality, he is as ruthless, pragmatic and evil as any Red Court vampire and just puts on the act for political advantages, as shown when tries to force Harry to lose the duel by continuing to threaten his loved ones and pulls out a gun when things don't go his way.

The titular character in Overlord (2012), though very ruthless and ultimately self-serving, most of his worst actions are directed at beings more evil than himself, he treats the subjects of Nazarick like they are family, thinks of his personnel guardians like his children, and treats his conquered subjects generally well, and he has a very good track record of keeping his end of the bargain when invoking Deal with the Devil scenarios. As the series progresses, the Noble part fades and his list of atrocities grows.
Among his subordinates, we have Sebas Tian and Cocytus who unlike the rest of his guardians, are not hostile to those considered weaker than themselves and are more often then not friendly to others, unless provoked. Sebas in fact is one of the few denizens of Nazarick with a Good Alignment, and Cocytus is the only Floor Guardian who does not have an Evil Alignment (his is Neutral on the side of Good).

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Yondu and the Ravagers. They may be space pirates whose motto is "steal from everyone," but they have a code and they stick to it, even helping defend Xandar with the Nova Corps during the final battle against Ronan. Yondu was also the one who saved Peter from his death at the hands of his own father, and raised him like his son, as good as he possibly could, for a space pirate. Even Peter acknowledged this, calling Yondu his father after his Heroic Sacrifice.
This is further emphasized in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Ravagers as a whole are shown to have universal, strict code(s) they follow, to the point that Yondu breaking the rule that "they don't deal in kids" resulted in Yondu being exiled by the Ravager community. When they hear about the death of Yondu and presumably the truth about Peter's father and why Yondu took Peter in, they all show up and give him a proper Ravager farewell at his funeral.

The Order of the Stick:
Malack is a vampiric dark cleric and loyal right-hand man to a brutal warlord. He is also cultured and cordial, and he goes out of his way to offer truces and compromises to fellow cleric Durkon because he doesn't want to have to resort to violence against someone he respects. When Malack is ultimately forced to fight Durkon and turn him into a vampire, Durkon pleads with Malack to show mercy on his comrades. And true to form, Malack leaves the paralyzed Belkar alive and, a short while later, does not reveal the Order of the Stick's position to Nale out of respect for Durkon's final wish.
The Directors of the Inter-Fiend Cooperation Commission run Evil as if it were a business... complete with Read the Fine Print and Loophole Abuse, of course, but still... Yes, they'll manipulate you into making a Deal With Them, but they are firm believers in the Equivalent Exchange, meaning they won't demand eternal dominion of your soul for temporary services rendered, they refuse to violate their contract and they pride themselves on their fantastic customer service on top of being completely candid about their long-term goals. Heck, they'll even propose an alternative solution to their Deal, just to make sure you won't sign over your soul while under duress... Of course, like any good evil businessman, they'll neglect to correct you if you make assumptions that works in their favor. Like if you assume that their dominion over your soul will kick in after you've died and that they cannot call in your debt at absolutely any time they want... They'll still make sure that your empty body is protected from all harm when they do, though. "Fantastic customer service" and all that.

Kage:
Raythor is this, much to Jade's surprise. Among other things, his first reaction to meeting Jade is to refuse to let Nerissa force a child to fight their war. It's only when Jade herself insists on fighting (due to her own new vendetta against the Guardians and Elyon) and proves she can fight, that he backs down.
Jade herself is only working with the villains because the Guardians' misconceptions and Nerissa's Blatant Lies have forced her into it, and she tries to remain a good person as much as she can under the circumstances. She is also a literal example of this trope because she's currently an Oni, a Japanese demon.

Many of the demons of Exalted. The general demonic mindset is alien rather than explicitly evil, so it's possible for them to have agendas that might come across as weird or scary while ultimately being well-meaning or even pleasant. Ligier, the Green Sun, simply wishes for Creation to share in the glories of Hell (and is often drawn into Creation by lowly people with great need, who he will offer his services as a smith to), Amalion only wishes to create beautiful things (even if they are beauties that break mortal hearts) and was Happily Married to one of Exalted (whom she still loves), Alveua wants to give everything a sense of order and purpose (albeit through forging their bodies into useful items), and creatures as low in the hierarchy as the neomah simply want to create children, albeit from flesh harvested from multiple donors (and can be summoned by the tears of parents mixed with the afterbirth of stillborn children).

He's one of the top priests of the Corrupt Church, has a menacing (and largely accurate) reputation in his own right, and he's every inch the Magnificent Bastard, but unlike other leaders of his religion, he really does care about the spiritual wellbeing of his followers, derives no pleasure from unnecessary destruction, and executes a Heel–Face Turn after his Ax-Crazy sidekick decides to pole-vault the Moral Event Horizon without Hrathen's consent.

Stargate:
Todd from Stargate Atlantis may be a Wraith, but he's helped the humans out a fair bit with their various crises, some of which they caused in the first place. Todd is assumed to be killing and feeding from humans as usual when the Atlanteans aren't around (which is a necessity for any Wraith to survive). He does volunteer to be a test subject for an attempt to transform Wraith into beings capable of eating normal food, even if it doesn't work out in the end. What makes him stand out is that he considers Atlantis too useful to destroy, given how often he's benefited from their temporary alliances against his real enemy (rival Wraith). The one time he does act against Atlantis is when he believes (wrongly) that they have betrayed him.
System Lord Yu from Stargate SG-1. Unlike the other Goa'uld, Yu is known for keeping his bargains, probably the whole "Asian honor" thing. He also lets Teal'c go after capturing him in "The Warrior". Unfortunately, Lord Yu ends up going senile, meaning he can no longer be trusted to keep his bargains because he doesn't always remember making them.

But in Avengers: Endgame, when he finds out that the remaining half of the MCU planned a time-heist to undo his work, he turns Omnicidal Maniac and vows to use the Infinity Stones to kill everyone and rebuild the universe to his liking.

Vic Mackey from The Shield. He's a sadistic, violent Dirty Cop and drug dealer who nevertheless refuses to harm children, is extremely protective of vulnerable women, and has Undying Loyalty to the rest of the Strike Team. It's gradually deconstructed over the course of the series as it's increasingly revealed Vic's standards are self-serving and he's entirely willing to ignore them should it benefit them.

Slayers: Xellos is a self-serving but ultimately guy who keeps coming back to the protagonists... no matter how much they tarnish his vaunted "cool and mysterious sorcerer-swordsman" image. He is also one true Mazoku. "The power of the Monster race flows from... terror, anger, sorrow, despair." And he's still the friendliest and nicest character in the series most of the time, despite his penchant for painful and infuriating pranks. The novels make this clearer. Xellos sets a city on fire, just to convince Lina to take action. He also blames it on an enemy, to make her even MORE active. This is one of the scenes that proves him a Magnificent Bastard. He definitely appears to be one, though.
The Dark Lord Ruby Eye Shabranigdo also has these tendencies. He was shockingly polite and respectful to his enemies despite the fact they were of little use against him, and when destroyed by Lina, he went so far as to congratulate her for her feat.

Joshuu Sasori: Matsu is a multiple murderess, desperate Combat Pragmatist, serial prison escapist, and veteran manipulator of those around her. However, she only kills those who wrong her; she can't bring herself to kill Yuki's brain-injured brother when Yuki begs her to, and while some prisoners hate her, she looks out for those who help her, help others, or hold no malice. Really, she's forced by circumstances into becoming a demon and retains her basic nobility. In a way, this is played literally - there's a visual theme of Yuurei symbolism implying a supernatural driving force behind Matsu.

Dungeons & Dragons has the Narzugons, or Hell Knights, who are Noble Devils. Unlike their scheming and manipulative brethren, Narzugons treat their foes with the utmost respect and courtesy, always allowing them the chance to surrender peacefully and always fighting fairly, which is far more than can be said for most other Devils. 4th Edition takes this even further by revealing that the Narzugons are actually the disgraced servants of the unnamed god Asmodeus slew in his ascension to godhood, and are now forced against their will to serve the Nine Hells. This may actually push them into full-blown Anti-Villain territory.
In 4th and 5th edition, Devils are generally this by default. They may have evil intentions, but they respect authority, have a strong sense of honor and wouldn't start a fight just For the Evulz (their henchmen/worshippers, on the other hand, are a lot less honorable).
Devils in general are considered Lawful Evil, emphasis on the Lawful. While they will use every dirty trick and loophole available to them, they will never ever break a contract. Doing so is one of the very few ways for a devil to get on the Nine Hells' shitlist.

In his appearance in Galaxy of Fear, Thrawn comes off this way. He's cold and fairly callous and calculating, but he's also fair - when he thinks another character is responsible for the deaths of some of his men, he tries to find out the facts, and as soon as he's sure they didn't do it, he lets them go. He's also the only character in this series to really acknowledge that the protagonists are children - when Tash is rude, he crisply informs her that since she's a child, he won't take offense. This time.

Gangs of New York: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting. He's a ruthless murderous gang leader and a 19th century equivalent of a mafia boss, but he cares for the children and elderly who live in the five points in old New York. He despises lying and deception in all its forms and has a man killed for betraying the film's protagonist who planned to murder Bill: meaning, he killed a man for saving his life because he regarded any form of betrayal to be worse.
Even before that point, when referring to Amsterdam's father, he says, "I killed the last honorable man 15 years ago." Bill is a nativist who would like nothing more than to see all Irish-Catholics thrown out of America.

He's afraid of being seen as going soft, but he honestly cares for Jim, and when it comes down to a choice between his dream of untold riches and saving the boy's life, he saves the boy.

Also, Lara Raith. Similar to Marcone, she has her own (albeit, twisted) sense of honor and integrity, as Carlos Ramirez states that her word is good, and will frequently work with Dresden when their goals coincide, to the point where she could easily be mistaken for one of the good guys.

Battle Tendency:
Rudolf von Stroheim may be a Nazi officer, but he lacks many of the more vile traits the Nazis were known to possess, chooses to team up with Joseph, and recognizes that stopping the threat of the Pillar Men is the highest priority.
Wamuu will not break promises or fight someone unable to defend themselves. If he hadn't sworn to obey Kars, he probably wouldn't have been a threat.

Errant Story's Jon Amraphel likes to think he's a cold-blooded assassin Anti-Hero ("I kill people for money. I'm officially a not-nice person"), but gets called on it several times for all the times he Wouldn't Shoot a Girl and helped them escape, even setting them up with foster families.

Berserk: the demonic Nosferatu Zodd is a centuries-old Blood Knight who lives for battle and killing. Despite his love of carnage, he is never seen harming non-combatants or engaging in rape or torture like many other Apostles do. He also treats the protagonist Guts as a Worthy Opponent, relishing their fights but willing to let him go on occasions when Guts is too weakened from a previous battle to defend himself. On one occasion, when Guts was forced into a duel unarmed while Zodd was watching, Zodd threw Guts a sword to make the fight fair, even though he wasn't part of the fight.

System Lord Yu from Stargate SG-1. Unlike the other Goa'uld, Yu is known for keeping his bargains, probably the whole "Asian honor" thing. He also lets Teal'c go after capturing him in "The Warrior". Unfortunately, Lord Yu ends up going senile, meaning he can no longer be trusted to keep his bargains because he doesn't always remember making them.

Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Fa'lina runs a school that teaches horrible things like torture, yet also cares about people, including strangers.

Grey from Choujin Sentai Jetman. As opposed to Radiguet, he believes in fair play and strangely has an extra devotion to Maria, because he likes her. He even gets pissed at Radiguet's plan to turn Maria into a vampire to become his queen, and pleads with the Jetmen to restore her humanity so she can die human, not as a monster. While he does fight Gai in his end, his reasoning for that boils down to just "I'm a warrior, this is all I can do". He died commending Gai for his victory and muttering Maria's name.

Brain from Pinky and the Brain is a Well-Intentioned Extremist Evil Genius, but if the push comes to shove, he'll choose The Power of Friendship over taking over the world: he did take over the world in one of the Christmas episodes thanks to toy bears that hypnotized people, but when he realized how badly he had alienated Pinky and crossed a line he shouldn't have, his only order was for everyone to just have a happy Christmas and be with people they cared about; another episode had Pinky sell his soul to Satan to give Brain world domination, but Brain eventually decided that if he couldn't rule with Pinky by his side, he wouldn't rule at all.
Whenever the world is in danger from some other threat, Brain will do whatever he can to save the world. ("So it is available to take over tomorrow night.")

Incarnations of Immortality: Satan epitomizes this trope. In his mortal life he was Parry, an honest and honorable priest who sought to punish the truly wicked while saving the souls of creatures and men who were technically evil but were not truly evil in their souls. Now he is Satan, the Incarnation of Evil, but his goal remains the same. His reason for his war against God is that the system for determining whether a person goes to Heaven or Hell is flawed, and he gets too many good people. He makes a deal with the Archangel Gabriel to keep the war from harming mortals. He is friends with JHVH, the previous Incarnation of Good.

Tortall Universe: The Immortals: Rikash Moonsword. He's only Daine's enemy at all in Wolf-Speaker, where he's smart enough to try to kill small animals venturing indoors, but he doesn't directly attack her, and seems vaguely embarrassed when she finds out that he's friends with lonely Maura. Later he's more directly Daine's ally, and she trusts him, though he never lets up on the snark. In fact, this trope becomes even more cemented when she finds out why Stormwings were created in the first place: to make war ugly enough that humans would reconsider starting them. (Although this didn't work.) Their friendship grows strong enough that she honestly mourns him when he dies and even names her oldest son after him.

Blood and Honor: Sanguis has a personal code of honor which often conflicts with how Sith are expected to behave in the Empire. She regularly shows mercy to her enemies, keeps her word, frees Vette from slavery at the first opportunity, and engages in small acts of charity when prompted either by her friends or her conscience. On the other hand, she is completely dedicated to the defeat of the Republic, has no issue with slavery in general and loyally follows the orders of her superiors, even when they are personally distasteful to her.

He joined his Legion in their treachery during the Horus Heresy and has spent centuries killing and surviving using every underhanded tactic in the book.

Gargoyles:
David Xanatos has had his moments where he tried to appear more callous than he really is, usually where his feelings for Fox are concerned:
Macbeth counts as well. Practically all of his actions in the show are driven by his desire to kill Demona- both for revenge for her betrayal and just wanting to finally die, but he outright refuses to take the easy way out by smashing her to bits when she's in stone form during the day, preferring to beat her in a fair fight. Notably, Macbeth only attacked Goliath's clan in his introductory episode because he thought they were Demona's allies. In all subsequent episodes, he refuses to harm anyone outside of his feud with Demona.

Transformers: Prime:
Breakdown shows shades of this when Bulkhead saves him from the terrorist group MECH. Starscream and a load of mooks arrive, and Starscream orders Breakdown to turn on him. Breakdown does, but is hesitant and needs prompting from his leader to actually do it. He also seems to be the only Decepticon to not view the vehicons as expendable, confiding in one and later stating he doesn't think they get enough respect.
Dreadwing has Undying Loyalty to Megatron and the Decepticon cause, Combat Pragmatist and Mad Bomber, but shows honor, gratitude, and respect to Optimus Prime and the Autobots. In the end, Starscream's defilement of Skyquake's body almost causes him to switch sides.
Subverted with Soundwave. While he seems to be this at first due to his noticeable lack of Kick the Dog moments, that's only because Soundwave doesn't indulge in it because it might compromise the mission. As long as it's not a part of or doesn't threaten the mission, he doesn't see any reason to be cruel. If it is the mission, however, you can certain he won't hesitate to be as cruel as possible to get it done if that's what Megatron wills.
While Predaking originally attacked the Autobots as his then-nominal enemies, he turned against the Decepticons after realizing that they orchestrated the destruction of his brethren rather than the Autobots. This is notable in the Predacons Rising finale movie, where despite holding a grudge against the Autobots for their part in the destruction of the Earth-based Predacon clones (save for himself, of course), Predaking still at least humors their words to a certain extent and eventually aids them in holding the line against Unicron's Terrocon army.

In the finale, when Trakeena picks up the Villain Ball after absorbing Deviot, Villamax objects to her sending Stingwingers on suicide attacks. After Villamax shields a little girl from falling debris, he has a Heel Realization. He tells Trakeena there's no honor in killing civilians and they clash, but he hesitates when trying to attack, and is killed.

Red X from Teen Titans (2003), so very, very much. He's a talented thief using a powered suit that he stole from Robin to commit crimes, and he outright tells Robin that he likes being a criminal.

Also, the Knights of Takhisis, who modeled themselves after the Knights of Solamnia. They are Card Carrying Villains who follow an evil goddess but stress chivalry, respect for their enemies, and loyalty to their comrades in arms. They frown upon the backstabbing, self-serving ways of their predecessors, the dragonlords.
In fact this trope was deliberately invoked in-universe. Age after age, the forces of evil would attempt to conquer the world, get most of the way there, determine that victory was inevitable, then start to turn on each other as each petty evil overlord tried to come out on top of the others when the dust settled, which gave the heroes the chance to regroup and turn things around. Takhisis was sick and tired of this, so she discarded the majority of her forces, all the hordes of monsters and minor tyrants, in order to found a knightly order who would follow a strict code of conduct and honor. They were much less powerful overall than her previous armies, but their unity and integrity made them much more dangerous than the less discriminate monsters of the past.

This is The Undertaker and his brother Kane when they're in a Face role. Treated more as a force of nature than an actual wrestler or superstar, Taker could hit a Tombstone Piledriver on anyone and have the crowd cheer for him. Once, Taker kidnapped perpetual-face manager Teddy Long, and Taker still got cheered. Kane, meanwhile, is pretty much always Ax-Crazy; he just targets faces or heels depending on his current alignment.

Darker than Black: the Contractor November 11 who frequently references his utter amorality but is unfailingly charming, friendly and sometimes flat-out ethical towards his co-workers. At the end of the series, when making a Heroic Sacrifice, his fellow Contractors ironically (or perhaps accurately) attribute his extremely altruistic actions to this same amorality/rationality.
The protagonist, Hei, could also count as one of these, given the emphasis in the final episode of the first season on how he pretends to be the amoral, badass Black Reaper, but is actually a sensitive guy who is haunted by all of the killing and dubious acts he has to do.

Agent Washington from Red vs. Blue qualifies, at least late in Revelations. His brand of villainy is less out of genuine malice, and more out of desperation to get out of prison. As the bad guy, he's quite nice to hapless Doc, at least as nice as his personality allows. He ends up making a Heel–Face Turn (To counter his earlier Face–Heel Turn) by the end of the season and has been firmly heroic ever since.
His Foil in the Chorus Trilogy, Locus/Samuel Ortez, is also an example, though it isn't obvious until the end of the Season. He's a Deconstruction, in that he's a moral man deep down, who's been manipulated into acting amoral and ruthless by his Toxic Friend Influence Felix/Isaac Gates.

Walter/Gunther is a brutal and unpleasant perennial heel who often denigrates and insults the accomplishments of other wrestlers, such as claiming that his record-setting Intercontinental Heavyweight title reign in the WWE diminishes every other holder of that title in the promotion's history. But unlike many heels, Gunther considers the ring and mat of professional wrestling sacred, bravely meeting all challengers head-on and winning through athleticism and technique rather than cheating or cheap disqualification wins, and is angry whenever his stable tries to put their thumbs on the scales of a match in his favor. He also invokes curmudgeonly Villain Respect for his opponents when they meet him on his terms and give him a run for his money.

The Penguin from Batman: The Animated Series fancies himself a Gentleman Thief (which he would be if his etiquette wasn't so terrible) and follows a code of honor, stating at one point that he refused to go after Two-Face while in the hospital as "kidnapping a fellow rogue from his sickbed just isn't done", and in another appearance being the one to diffuse an argument between Joker and Two-Face because it "behooved them to work together" instead. It also helps that he's the only one of the rogue's gallery to not be insane, thus his crimes all center around monetary gain rather than revenge or just sheer insanity and tend to cause much less collateral damage. It's not to say he's above using hummingbirds with poisoned beaks to kill Batman in his "Aviary of Doom", a scheme that Poison Ivy and even The Joker thought was over-the-top in its ludicrous villainy, but that's just showmanship according to him.

The Bridge (MLP) gives us Monster X and Xenilla (a.k.a. Spacegodzilla). While still being a Xilian war weapon and not batting an eye at killing several Symbiotic Legion, X refuses to harm those who cannot fight back unless commanded to. In fact, multiple times he will come to the defense of a helpless neutral party. Xenilla, on the other hand, isn't above pondering mass property damage and killing those who annoy him but keeps the actual killing down to those who are needed to die for his goal, and despite his rivalry with his "brother" Godzilla, is actually the least aggressive of the two.

The subject of "Black Wings" from Bone Machine by Tom Waits could be said to be a Noble Demon or an Anti-Hero. "He broke out of every prison" and "they say he once killed a man with a guitar string", yet "he once saved a baby from drowning" and "there are those who say beneath his coat there are wings".

The Amazing Spider-Man: Dr. Curt Connors is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who gains a dash of Ax-Crazy when injected with the serum. However, even as the Lizard he only has beef with those who attack him or directly get in the way of his plan. The first time he first transforms, he goes after Ratha who is on his way to play doctor with unwitting war veterans, and when he finds Gwen hiding with the Ganali device, he merely takes it from her and lets her live.

Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain: The Supervillain known as Bull is willing to help fellow villains extort the city for money, but prefers to avoid risking any actual harm to the people. Best exemplified in the backstory when a villain named Third Horseman ransomed the city with a weaponized anthrax bomb. When he got the money, he set it off while sitting right on top of it. Bull had been working for him at the time, and had switched out the anthrax for flour. He had no idea the guy was crazy enough to actually do it, he was just worried about someone getting poisoned during the disposal. Since he saved the entire city, the heroes let Bull keep the ransom money, which he promptly put into a trust for his wife and daughter.

Ouran High School Host Club: Kyouya insists that he is an egotist with nothing in common with Sheltered Aristocrat Tamaki. Despite this, his long-suffering of Tamaki's antics, which includes wearing ridiculous costumes on a daily basis (as a female more than once), is nobility in itself. He says that it's all to keep Tamaki looking like a golden child, to the point where it costs Kyouya favor with his own father. That's a bit too self-sacrificing for the so-called Evil Lord, isn't it?

Hit from Dragon Ball Super. Despite being a Professional Killer, he's actually quite noble and chivalrous all things considered. Hit allows Goku to recover from his heavy blow because Goku's strength and technique forced him to improve his own abilities, and he feels he owes the other fighter for that. He also avoids sniping Goku while he's preparing his ultimate technique. He also rings himself out when Monaka successfully punched him to return Goku's favor when he did the same. In Episode 71, he offers to let Goku live and walk away if he disappears. Goku refuses and temporarily dies because of it. Of the hits we've seen him do, he also avoids killing anyone but his target, using his time skip to just bypass guards and civilians. He also lets his targets know they're about to die, kills them from the front, and does so quickly with a minimum of pain.

However, he possesses a very strong sense of honor, and openly expresses his disgust for those who betray their superiors.

When Wesley is discussing all he's been doing to cover up their involvement with the Union Allied Construction fiasco, including killing people, he asks if Karen Page, who blew the whistle on them to begin with, should get the same treatment.

Les Misérables:
Jean Valjean of from a certain point of view (namely, Javert's). He is an ex-con who is constantly evading the law, pardons criminals when he feels bad for them, and participates in an armed rebellion, but he is also a just mayor, who routinely helps save lives (such as Fauchelevent and Marius) and even spares Javert himself when he has the chance.
And Javert, in certain adaptations. There is no indication that he is ever more cruel or harsh beyond what is required for his job, and apologizes to a disguised Valjean for accusing him of being an escaped convict. In the movie, he saves a student from gunfire while building the barricade, for which he is thanked profusely, and is much more sympathetic to Gavroche, especially after the latter is shot - his expression clearly indicates that he thinks that the boy shouldn't have been killed and is part of what leads to his Villainous BSoD and suicide.

Watership Down: While General Woundwort is ruthless, he generally rules Efrafa like a tyrant for their own protection, and when fighting Bigwig he deems him a Worthy Opponent and offers him a place of leadership. Ultimately abandoning his moral code proves his undoing by insisting on finding Hazel's warren to destroy it out of revenge. His lieutenant Campion also fits the title of a Noble Demon, however, he follows Woundwort out of honor and attacking Hazel's warren is nothing personal to him. After Woundwort is killed/disappears he no longer serves an evil purpose. He becomes the new leader of Efrafa, giving its population more freedom and making an agreement/alliance with Hazel to let each other's rabbits move out and make a new warren when their warrens become too populated

Fire Emblem on Forums has a few such examples:
Wonderful Blessing: Mammon and Leviathan. Both are powerful generals of Hellrealm, but they have sympathetic aims (to end the Forever War, albeit in favour of the demons, so they can go home and start the family they wanted to) show a distaste for going too far and and have sympathetic backstories as victims of a coverup of an Ancient Conspiracy. They perform a Heel–Face Turn upon having the silencing curse on them removed, and realising that Serena holds the key to ending the Forever War.
Solrise Academy: Justice, of the Seekers of Calamity. While clearly devoted to his cause, he shows blatant disgust when civilians are endangered, and is about to acquiesce to the protagonists' demands because he promised to before he's teleported away.

A Song of Ice and Fire: there are quite a few theoretically villainous or antagonistic characters that act rather decently, at least to some people. These include Jaime Lannister, Sandor Clegane, Jaquen H'Gar, and Petyr Baelish, all of whom have acted decently towards protagonist characters when they didn't have to. Then again, the series tries to show all of its characters as three-dimensional and well-developed.
Your mileage may definitely vary on Petyr Baelish; the only character he's kind to is Sansa, and that's only when he's not sexually harassing her. His nobler moments come off as squicky to some. This is the problem with Petyr... you're never quite sure when he's donning any particular behaviour pattern (including this one) as a mask, even as a reader: heaven help the characters he interacts with. There's also nothing particularly noble about his goals, code of conduct, or even behavior to almost any other character.
Jaime Lannister is probably the best example; his biggest evil act was the murder of King Aerys after swearing to protect him, but what most characters don't know (or conveniently forget) is that Aerys was a crazy son of a bitch, who, if he had lived just half an hour longer, would have ordered his capital city burned to the ground with wildfire, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians as well as the enemy. Jaime himself laments that he's loved by one for a kindness he never did, and reviled by thousands for his finest act—though, despite a sympathetic PoV and some heavy-duty character development, he remained pretty unrepentantly demonic until A Storm of Swords.
He also threw the young son of his host out of one of the higher windows of a castle, permanently crippling him. He becomes much more sympathetic when (two books later) we realise that he did it for the great love of his life (not a nice lady herself), that he had intended the child to be killed instantly, and that he is deeply remorseful for it, considering it his own Moral Event Horizon. By the time his PoV comes up, he has a humongous pile of other things (many immediately dangerous) to worry about... so, it's not looked at again in any great depth due to having been put in the stockpot of "miscellaneous things to guilt about in aggregate at 3 am, but which I don't usually have time for" he has constantly on the backburner.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple:
Haruo Nijima is a very complex character. A "close" friend (of sorts) of Kenichi Shirahama, he is commonly referred to by various characters as an alien due to his likewise features: long pointed ears, sharp hooking nose, glaring eyes, and fanged teeth. He has even been known to be able to protude two arrow-headed antennas from the top of his head. As if that's not bad enough, he openly proclaims himself to be evil, and does nothing to discourage this belief amongst other parties. Worse, he dreams to one day rule the world (albeit not in a conquery sort of way); and to this end, he (somehow) formed a fighter group that he hopes would garner enough media attention to make his dream world conquest a reality. He is an ambitious power-grabber who relishes in bossing everyone around (mostly Kenichi). Despite this, as the key founder of the Shinpaku Alliance (which Kenichi and several other principal characters are part of), he seems to prioritize the well-being of his comrades more than anything else, and is not above resorting to being a living bait to lure danger away.
On a more serious vein, 90 percent of the antagonist Yami organization's One Shadow Nine Fists seems to consist of master-class fighters who are all Noble Demons in their own way. Special mention should go to Akira Hongo, the resident karate master who's code-named the "God Fist," as he is shown to respect the bond that should exist between a master and his disciple, who won't fight women or opponents who have injuries from previous recent fights and is even willing to team up with Ryozanpaku to help rescue the kidnapped Miu, if only because doing so will let him get revenge on "Demon Fist" Silcardo Junazard, the remaining 10 percent of the One Shadow Nine Fists, for tricking him into almost killing Kenichi.
Saiga Furinji, Yami's One Shadow, may very well be this too, as it's implied that Hongo had to seek audience with him before joining forces with Ryozanpaku, and Saiga himself also joined the group (in disguise) to help in Miu's rescue. It's justified for him, though, since Miu is his daughter.

One Piece has plenty of this, as the Straw Hats and the Whitebeard Pirates are the very rare pirate crews that don't hurt anyone and help others. Many others will acknowledge their selfish goals as pirates but will stop short of excessive killing and violence. Meanwhile, whilst many Marines are heroic characters who are only antagonists to the Straw Hats through their duty to fight piracy, some actively further the undoubtedly evil goals of the World Government and sympathise with some of its aims. They will then often be horrified at the immoral means the World Government goes to to protect its interests, and see protecting civilians as more important than the World Government's abstract and self-serving philosophy of 'Justice'. Some prominent examples include:
Smoker is basically Luffy's Arch-Enemy and shows no mercy whatsoever to pirates, no matter how honourable their goals. He also stops every now and then to help his subordinates and prevent civilians from getting hurt in the crossfire. He also grudgingly acknowledges Luffy commanding Zoro to rescue him when an underground tunnel is flooded with water (leaving him powerless due to his Devil Fruit), and gives the Straw Hats a headstart in escaping.
Aokiji was horrified at Akainu's massacre of the Oharan civilians, even though he had a point, and later on leaves the Marines where it meant either serving under him and taking part in his Knight Templar deeds, or being a silent spectator in a lower rank.
Sengoku, the honorary Big Bad of the first part definitely counts, as he would rather leave his prestigious position as Fleet Admiral, than see the cover up of history's worst criminals just to save face.
The New World captains who come to the aid of Whitebeard during the Summit War. All of them are known for their terrifying infamy as pirates, but honour their debts to Whitebeard and come to his aid when Ace is threatened with execution.
Shanks. He is the series' first introduced example of a 'real' pirate, and his crew kill a bunch of bandits in the early chapters to establish that they aren't joking around. Shanks, however, is a deeply honourable figure. When Kaido, one of the Four Emperors alongside Shanks, Big Mom, and Whitebeard, attempts to take advantage of Whitebeard being distracted by Ace's pending execution to attack him, Shanks intervenes on Whitebeard's behalf and stops Kaido, then shows up to stop the war after Whitebeard's death to prevent any further pointless bloodshed.
Some members of CP9, most prominently Lucci and Kaku. Despite being cold-blooded killers, they initially honor Robin's request to spare the Straw Hats, only fighting them because of a favorable Loophole Abuse. Lucci is more of an honorable warrior, not going after Robin even after Luffy is distracted, and showing disgust of Spandam's Kick the Dog treatment of Robin and the Buster Call. Kaku straight up admits he liked being a Galley-La shipwright, and gracefully hands Zoro his key leading to Robin's freedom. It is because of this that the CP9 basically get a Redemption Arc, followed by Lucci and Kaku getting a Rank Up, whereas Spandam faces a Fate Worse than Death and being a subordinate to Lucci and Kaku, whom he Left for Dead.
Trafalgar Law. Being one of the series' most ruthless pirates, he nonetheless showed disgust at the slave auction, with him gracefully recruiting Jean Bart, a former slave, with him saving Luffy at the tail-end of the Marineford War, when all hope seemed lost, and betraying Caesar the moment he realized the kids are being used for fatal experiments, and all his actions post Punk Hazard being an elaborate revenge for his Big Brother Figure's murder 13 years ago.
In a surprising example, Charlotte Katakuri. To say, Katakuri is not only the strongest lieutenant of Big Mom, but a resident Seer, and at the time of his introduction held the series' highest bounty. But, Katakuri is gradually shown to be fiercely loyal to his family, protective of his younger siblings, and a honorable enemy, as he deliberately injures himself to equal Luffy's condition during their fight, and is the only one defeated by Luffy who outright acknowledges Luffy's ambitions without any sort of malice.

Good Omens: Crowley is possibly the Trope Codifier: a demon situated on Earth whose assigned mission is to spread sin among humans and, in fact, was the original serpent who tempted Eve. However, six millennia of living with humans influences him to the point where he's become fond of humans and doesn't like the idea of them being wiped out in the Apocalypse - in fact, he actively tries to prevent it. There's also the fact that his best friend Aziraphale is an angel who's supposed to be his sworn enemy. Aziraphale could be considered a mild inversion of the Noble Demon, as while he sincerely believes in and commits himself to goodness, he displays decidedly un-angelic traits such as materialism, pettiness, and going on drinking binges with a demon.
Aziraphale actively works against Heaven's plan to bring about armageddon just as resolutely as Crowley works against Hell's. The story implies that the actual differences between the two afterlives aren't as big as advertised and that God isn't actually actively on either side.
When you've spent 6,000 years on Earth with no other supernatural entities but each other for company, an Agreement is inevitable. Crowley is still Evil, but not too evil; and Aziraphale can be Good, but not too good. And they should probably thwart each others' plans once in a while for, you know, appearance's sake. And there's nothing wrong with the occasional cup of tea together. And Crowley's car is a much better means of getting around so it's surely OK to ride together once in a while, when necessary (although Aziraphale just cannot come to appreciate Crowley's taste in music).
Not even Crowley can appreciate Crowley's taste in music. Any cassette left in his car for more than two weeks, no matter how soothing or classical, metamorphoses into a Best of Queen album, which was bad enough before Freddie Mercury starts giving him messages from the demon commanders of Hell.
And living together in a cottage somewhere in the South Downs just makes it easier to keep an eye on each other's misdeeds/good deeds; it's certainly not fraternizing, nothing friendly about that at all.
And when Crowley rushes into a burning building without a second thought because he thinks Aziraphale may be inside...
Crowley himself insists that the reason he ended up in the rebellion is simply that he hung around with the wrong crowd;
During The Spanish Inquisition, Crowley was sent a commendation from Hell for facilitating it even though all he was doing in Spain at the time was wandering around the fancy parts not really doing anything. Once he actually saw what humans were doing with no influence from Hell, he went to the nearest pub to binge-drink. For a solid week.
Simply put, Crowley is only evil on paper. He's actually a quite decent fellow once you get to know him, but you won't catch him admitting it.

Code Geass: Big stretch, but perhaps Princess Cornelia. She serves as the primary antagonist in Season 1, and her arrogance, ruthlessness and xenophobia is tempered with valour and courage in battle, a genuine desire to rebuild Area 11 and return stability to it, genuine affection and respect for the men under her command, which is returned, and a soft spot for her younger sister Euphemia.

Sorin Markov of Magic: The Gathering is an Innistrad vampire planeswalker who is paranoid and drains blood in order to survive, but is one of the few characters who could be classified as a Big Good. He views his bloodthirst as a necessity, but tries to maintain order in his hometown and attempts to seal the Eldrazi to save the lives of billions. Being a white/black (formally monoblack)-aligned planeswalker, he also falls under Dark Is Not Evil.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Seto Kaiba. The "noble" half is mostly due to his little brother, and the "demon" half is mostly due to his competition with his adopted father growing up.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Likewise, it took Edo Phoenix, Kaiba's third Expy, quite a while to reluctantly admit he had become more "hero" and less "anti."
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: there's Alito, one of the Barians, the only one with any sense of honor and fair play. (The others tend to regard him as "immature" and "childish".) He seems to consider Yuma a Friendly Enemy (a sentiment shared by Yuma) and has developed a crush of sorts on Kotori u him it shifts to Yuma.
Durbe of the Barian Emperors might be the original embodiment of this trope. While he showed in the battle of Saragasso that he will use any means to win, even using a dirty trick (which was part of Vector's plan), he only does so because of his noble intention in saving the Barian World, no matter the cost. He is also known to praise his opponents for their skills as he did with Shark (before knowing his true identity) and Droite (in the final battle on Earth). He puts an end to any unnecessary fights between the emperors, and trusts them and acknowledges their skills. Even his Chaos Number is named after this trope. His noble soul is shown the most during his final duel with Merag against Vector, Where he sacrificed himself to ensure Merag's victory on the traitor. Might also overlap with Wicked Cultured and Anti-Villain.
Also from the Barian Emperors is Mizael. Unlike Durbe, he puts himself under the same conditions as Kaito during their duel, claiming he didn’t need any tricks to defeat him. Later, after his final duel with Kaito resulted in his defeat and regaining his true memories, he honors Kaito’s last request and hand’s the Number card created from their dragons to give to Yuma.
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS:
Akira Zaizen and Revolver could be considered downplayed versions. Zaizen is an employee for SOL Tech, a company willing to do whatever it takes to protect their profits. However, he cares for his younger sister and tries to help the protagonists when he can. Revolver is a straighter example, being a hacker hell bent on eradicating the Ignis and getting revenge on the person who put his dad into a coma, but he was also the one who alerted the authorities and ended the Lost Incident.
Bohman is also an example as he values fair play, since he believes that duels should be solely decided by the skill of the duelists, as much as his mission to win the war against the protagonists where those who lose duels get their conciousness taken from them. Furthermore, when he defeats one of his opponents, he allows them to see one of their loved ones before they disappear.

Sandoval from Oglaf is a wicked nobleman and serves as ambassador for the elvish country of Xoan. He'll use, screw, and kill anyone he feels like, typically in flamboyant fashion yet he usually spares innocent, virginal Ivan simply because Ivan is an innocent virgin.

Menma's gang the Black Foxes in Eroninja are noted as being one of the gangs that skirts the line between lawless decadence and lawful enforcers. They only seek freedom and comfort but they also don't go out of their way to make others suffer. The best example is their protection racket. Unlike most such rackets, they actually do protect any under their care, whether it be from enemy gangs, fires, or even illness. If someone refuses, rather than getting roughed up or having their shop burned down, they simply don't get any protection. And since the city they operate in is partially controlled by another gang, most are happy to pay.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Bruford from Phantom Blood, as shown when he kills a zombie trying to ambush Jonathan due to considering Jonathan to be a Worthy Opponent.
Battle Tendency:
Rudolf von Stroheim may be a Nazi officer, but he lacks many of the more vile traits the Nazis were known to possess, chooses to team up with Joseph, and recognizes that stopping the threat of the Pillar Men is the highest priority.
Wamuu will not break promises or fight someone unable to defend themselves. If he hadn't sworn to obey Kars, he probably wouldn't have been a threat.
In Stardust Crusaders, N'Doul is a devoted servant of Dio, and has no qualms about killing innocents who happen to be in his way. However, once Jotaro catches up to him, he commits suicide to spare himself from being interrogated, and with his dying breaths, he willingly tells Jotaro more about himself and the rest of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods that the Crusaders would face. Out of respect for this, and for being impressed by N'Doul's managing to knock off his hat, something that not even the raging sea could do, Jotaro buries his body in the dunes, marking his grave with his cane.
Rikiel from Stone Ocean is the noblest of the three Sons of DIO introduced in this part. Lacking the negative qualities and sadism his two other brothers have, the only reason he fights the heroes is out of gratitude towards Pucci for awakening his Stand and saving him from his previous status as a Cosmic Plaything. Throughout his fight with Jolyne and co., he displays impressive determination and fights honourably, and he takes his defeat well enough that he's more than willing to divulge everything he knows about Pucci's plan.
Ringo Roadagain from Steel Ball Run. An honest, polite man who's willing to explain how his Stand works to his opponents before engaging them in battle, as he believes his duels should be fair and reasonable.

Game of Thrones:
The Hound does not lie. When the Brotherhood tries to blame Gregor's crimes on him, he rebukes the accusation, but when they bring his actual crimes he admits to them without hesitation. Furthermore, when Arya snaps and kills a Frey soldier out of revenge (and food and fire). Sandor pulls her aside afterwards and tells her if she ever does that again... at least warn him first.
While evidently not 100% good (he himself snarks to Ned that he's no hero), Varys desires peace above all. He also has a distaste for violence and is appalled by the casual evil displayed by the likes of Joffrey and Littlefinger.

Heat: Neil McCauley may be a professional criminal, but he has a sense of decency that clearly outstrips all other criminals and many cops. He doesn't want to kill the security personnel he robs from and is angered when his accomplices do so. And he holds much more anger and malice toward other criminals who engage in duplicitous and inhumane behavior against him and his friends than against the police. He cares for those close to him as much as any hero, and it's impossible to not sympathize with him most of the time when he's shooting someone, as they usually deserve it.

He has numerous Pet the Dog moments, particularly toward Junjo (himself also a Type I), and he does a Heel–Face Turn when King Stone tags Terry during the climactic deathmatch, becoming the only Yakuza (apart from Junjo, who is himself presumed dead until the second half of the sequel) to live to see the end of the film.

Pterano from The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire. He's not above kidnapping, but he does make a point to strike his own henchmen to punish them for two things he considers intolerable: violence (particularly, though unspoken, against children, including and especially his nephew) and asking redundant questions.
He then becomes The Atoner toward the end when he has a flashback to when he tried to find the Great Valley due to Ducky coming close to meeting the same fate as did one of the dinosaurs on the earlier expedition.

Good Omens (2019): Just like the original book character, Crowley is a demon situated on Earth whose assigned mission is to spread sin among humans and, in fact, was the original serpent who tempted Eve, but after spending so much time on Earth he has developed an appreciation for humanity and works to stop the Apocalypse. He actively convinces an angel (and his best friend!) to break ranks and help him save humanity by pointing out the losses. He's a few shades different from his original book counterpart, in that he does a lot more work in becoming Hell's poster boy for evil and horror (mostly by lying in his memos to Hell rather than actually hurting anyone, maintaining the trope). He's also just a tad more in denial about being a good person deep inside, performing acts of goodness with a lot more posturing and fussing, and getting a lot more annoyed at having his goodness be pointed out than his book counterpart's weary acknowledgment of the fact. Nonetheless, he genuinely wants to save humanity, wanting absolutely no part in the fight between Heaven and Hell, and ends up giving precious advice to the anti-christ on how to cancel The End of the World as We Know It. And gets a lot better about recognizing his inner goodness.
In a flashback scene that's completely original to the show, Crowley is observing Noah's Ark being filled with animals with his angel friend Aziraphale. When he is told that mankind (or, precisely, "the locals") will be punished with a huge flood because "God's a bit tetchy", he is disturbed to note that that punishment includes the children. Aziraphale is hesitant about the plan but unwilling to question it, whereas Crowley is outright horrified by it.
Remember the last temptation of Christ? Another show-only flashback tell us that it was Crowley that did it, and even then he hadn't intended it as a temptation, he just thought Jesus was a "bright young lad" who deserved to see the world.
Season 2 gives us yet another Biblical flashback, this time about the story of Job. God has agreed to let the forces of Hell destroy everything Job has, including the very lives of his three children. Crowley is sent to do the destroying, and seems to kill all of Job’s goats with glee. However, it is revealed that he did not, in fact, kill Job’s goats; he simply transmuted them into birds, so that it would look as though they had been killed. Discovering this fact is what leads Aziraphale to believe that Crowley is too good a person to go through with murdering Job’s children, and sure enough, the demon only turns them into lizards rather than killing them, and returns them to their parents safe and sound.
Similarly in the book, Aziraphale is also a mild inversion of the Noble Demon, being genuinely committed to being good and believing in those values, while having decidedly un-angelic traits such as materialism, pettiness, and going on drinking binges with a demon. And just like show!Crowley, show!Aziraphale is also some shades different to his book original in that he's just a little less petty and a bit more uptight about (trying) to follow heaven's orders. He still ends up choosing humanity and Crowley over his designated allegiance, recognizing that heaven really has no idea what it's doing regarding God's actual Plan.

Super Sentai and Power Rangers:
Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman: First Captain Chevalier may be a ruthless, planet-marauding warlord, but he treats his henchmen well, genuinely respects the Fivemen and is an all around friendly guy, when he's not causing havoc at least.
Grey from Choujin Sentai Jetman. As opposed to Radiguet, he believes in fair play and strangely has an extra devotion to Maria, because he likes her. He even gets pissed at Radiguet's plan to turn Maria into a vampire to become his queen, and pleads with the Jetmen to restore her humanity so she can die human, not as a monster. While he does fight Gai in his end, his reasoning for that boils down to just "I'm a warrior, this is all I can do". He died commending Gai for his victory and muttering Maria's name.
Ecliptor from Power Rangers in Space can be seen as Power Rangers original Noble Demon. While he asserted himself as evil, he genuinely cared about Astronema, even allowing her to escape when she tried to join the Rangers. He's eventually brainwashed to be more evil, but even in the finale, when he sees Andros standing over the lifeless body of Astronema, he's more concerned with trying to save her than fighting back.
Villamax from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. He puts Trakeena through a Training from Hell to help her get revenge on Leo for killing her father, while clashing with the more cunning Deviot. In the finale, when Trakeena picks up the Villain Ball after absorbing Deviot, Villamax objects to her sending Stingwingers on suicide attacks. After Villamax shields a little girl from falling debris, he has a Heel Realization. He tells Trakeena there's no honor in killing civilians and they clash, but he hesitates when trying to attack, and is killed.
Diabolico in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue is a very literal example, as the villains in said show are actual demons. In fact, his code of honor is strong enough that it eventually results in a Heel–Face Turn.
Rouki from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger and Zen-Aku in Power Rangers Wild Force also have shades of this, although it's implied to be mostly a result of possessing the Sixth Ranger. Zen-Aku somehow survives his destruction and decides to accompany Merrick on Walking the Earth and seeking atonement.
Wolzard from Mahou Sentai Magiranger as well as his Power Rangers Mystic Force counterpart Koragg the Knight Wolf are constantly insisting on honor, and refusing to finish off the Rangers as it would be "dishonorable to defeat a weaker opponent" (as a result of which, by the time he does fight them seriously, they're too powerful for him to beat). It eventually turns out that his honorable side was an artifact of his previous heroic personality before he was turned evil by a magic spell.

Seth Gecko in From Dusk Till Dawn is a ruthless, violent professional criminal who nevertheless has an inner core of decency and, in fact, comes across as downright heroic compared to his psychotic rapist-murderer brother, Richie (whom he vocally expresses disgust against).

Ip Man: General Miura, who is brutal and vicious out of a sense of patriotism, as a contrast with the sadism of Smug Snake Colonel Sato, and is, in his own albeit Combat-Pragmatic way, an honorable, traditional Japanese Warrior.

Similarly, Captain Klaus Woermann in The Keep. Despite an Establishing Character Moment where he tells his driver that the Nazis are the "masters of the world" ("Does that enthrall you, Oster?"), he's another "no civilians" kinda guy and goes out of his way to ensure that relations between his troops and the Romanian villagers are good, even going so far as to punish one of his men he catches trying to loot. He is enraged later on when the SS execute several people for suspected partisan sympathies. When accused of incompetence, he unloads a scathing indictment of the SS and their policy of targeting civilians: "My competence was proven in combat... against people who shoot back!"

The Town: Ben Affleck's Villain Protagonist is a pretty good example. Despite being a career criminal and ruthlessly efficient bank robber, he is personally a very nice and sensitive guy, is disgusted by his colleagues beating people or taking hostages, and cares a lot about his community to the point of donating his stolen money to local charities. It's not hard to see how a woman could fall for him even after finding out that he was involved in robbing her bank and taking her hostage, leaving her with PTSD.

Madan Senki Ryu Ken Do had Jack Moon, who while living by an ideology of "The Strong Rule and The Weak Obey" believed in a fair fight, he even refused at one point to revive his boss to destroy everything because it would violate his ethics as a swordsman, although his demonic nature would rear its ugly head from time to time.

Warhammer 40,000:
Talos of the Night Lords has been a thief and a murderer since childhood. He joined his Legion in their treachery during the Horus Heresy and has spent centuries killing and surviving using every underhanded tactic in the book. Yet he treats his useful slaves well, even kindly, and strives to live up to the (admittedly warped) ideals of his Primarch, in contrast to the rest of the Night Lords.
The Alpha Legion's whole hat is being this, along with The Chessmaster and Fake Defector... maybe. During the Horus Heresy, the Alpha Legion often went out of their way to help Imperial forces even though they were supposed to be on Horus' side.
From the same universe and its sister series several editions earlier, we had the Chaos God Khorne pre-Flanderization, whose servants generally fought with some degree of honor, and would frequently spare noncombatants on the basis of them not being Worthy Opponents. There were even cases of Khorne sending his daemons after servants who had offered him the skulls of noncombatants or other equally "unworthy" opponents. While this is no longer true of the vast majority of his servants, Khorne himself is still usually portrayed as honorable, and he refuses to allow his servants to use psychic abilities as they would be unfair. He is generally suspicious of Tzeentch, the god of sorcery and secrets, for the same reason.
Nowadays Khorne cares not from where blood flows so long as it does and has no problem with slaughtering everyone down to the babies, but if you dare attempt to offer up the skull of a child or defenseless civilian as an offering as oppossed to a great warrior he will smite your ass.

Warhammer has Abhorash and his Blood Dragon knights, who are basically a cult of martial vampires who have a code of honor which states that only cowards prey on the weak and defenceless, and so they travel around picking fights with worthy warriors and monsters and feeding on their blood instead. They're still bloodthirsty (metaphorically and literally), sociopathic undead monsters, but if you're a (civilian) woman or child, they'll leave you alone, unless they happen to be in the throes of blood hunger. Notably, the only reason Abhorash didn't kill Neferata, his former queen who unwillingly turned him into a vampire after making herself the first one using her Elixir of Life, is out of his sworn oaths before he was tricked into drinking the Elixir of Life.

General Shadow in Kamen Rider Stronger is a quite literal case. He may be a Majin from the Demon World, but even he refuses to harm children, and isn't interested in any other evil plans that don't involve him getting to fight Stronger. He even goes out of his way to help Stronger at one point because he deemed his allies' plan to be too destructive.

Wolzard from Mahou Sentai Magiranger as well as his Power Rangers Mystic Force counterpart Koragg the Knight Wolf are constantly insisting on honor, and refusing to finish off the Rangers as it would be "dishonorable to defeat a weaker opponent" (as a result of which, by the time he does fight them seriously, they're too powerful for him to beat). It eventually turns out that his honorable side was an artifact of his previous heroic personality before he was turned evil by a magic spell.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Riddick. He's a villain in almost every way; a savage murderer and psychopath with a really sick sense of humour, but Even Evil Has Standards (he dislikes rapists and senseless killing, for instance), he is a lot closer to animals than people, and it seems he Wouldn't Hurt a Child (he seems to like children, and in return he often fascinates them).

In Stardust Crusaders, N'Doul is a devoted servant of Dio, and has no qualms about killing innocents who happen to be in his way. However, once Jotaro catches up to him, he commits suicide to spare himself from being interrogated, and with his dying breaths, he willingly tells Jotaro more about himself and the rest of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods that the Crusaders would face. Out of respect for this, and for being impressed by N'Doul's managing to knock off his hat, something that not even the raging sea could do, Jotaro buries his body in the dunes, marking his grave with his cane.

The (OC)Changeling Princess Ceymi gets to be this in two My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fics by two separate writers. She genuinely believes that the Changelings must be ruthless to survive, and she is loyal to her Hive and Queen Chrysalis. She herself avoids any unnecessary cruelty and does not like to kill Ponies — though she will if she is ordered to or believes that she has no better choice. In Phoenix_Dragon's Without a Hive, the story in which she originally appeared, she is the mentor and mother (though maternity means little to the Changelings) of the protagonist Nictis. In Jordan179's MLP Collateral Damage, she is one of the three main characters along with Jordan179's OC Falcon Punch and the young Background Pony Cheerilee (age 9), in a story taking place almost two decades before the series and a decade before the start of Without A Hive (which is a long Coming of Age Story).

Doctor Who:
Saladin in "The Crusade" is treated as a more honorable figure than King Richard. He doesn't return Barbara from El Akir, but for good reason, pointing out he can't upset one of his commanders during a war. This does seem to keep with his portrayal in a lot of representations of the Crusades.
Jano in "The Savages" is the chief of a powerful high-tech civilisation that runs its technology through kidnapping and draining people from an undercaste. While he stringently regards them as worse than animals, the Doctor is able to snare him in a Batman Gambit by observing Jano's reasonable treatment of his men and dedication to his role of benevolent leader, getting him to implant a Soul Fragment from the Doctor into himself and causing him to have a Heel Realisation as a result of gaining the Doctor's morality.
The Master is sometimes portrayed as a Noble Demon, often mentioning his friendship with the Doctor, or expressing regret at inconveniencing the companion, between stages of his plan to rule the universe and kill them both.
The trope is subverted in "Boom Town", in which the villain claims that her sparing of a journalist is evidence that she isn't evil, and the Doctor completely dismisses the idea, pointing out that it's just a rationale she uses to live with herself.

His Pragmatic Villainy makes him quite reasonable and sensible: "buy for a dollar, sell for two". He regards himself as a businessman and wants nothing to do with anything else attached to the drug trade.

Meruem of Hunter × Hunter, especially after meeting Komugi and his Character Development. His treatment of Netero counts during their battle, where Netero comes off more like the villain in comparison, with Meruem basically acknowledging Humans Are Special, and wishing to preserve them for eons, rather than just seeing them as inferiors existing solely to be eaten. He is only defeated because he's the freaking Big Bad.

Lieutenant-Commander Bextor Fenwick in The Arts of Dark and Light. He is a patriot for his own people, and thus a villain, and uses some rather underhanded tactics to promote their cause, but is fairly sympathetic personally. Notably, he resents the regime's genocidal policies, doing as little to enforce them as he can get away with, and indeed he works actively to sabotage them from behind the scenes when his unit gets caught up in them.

Dragon Ball:
Captain Ginyu teases this when he berates Jeice for interfering in his fight with Goku, even threatening to kill him if he does it again. It's such a gallant display of sportsmanship that Goku himself thinks Ginyu might be capable of redemption... and it's then subverted completely when Ginyu resorts to cheating via his trump card, the Body Change technique. He's still a Benevolent Boss and the one subordinate Frieza has who is completely loyal, but as far as fair play goes, Ginyu only indulges it when he thinks he can afford to.
Piccolo tries to invoke this when he was defeated by the androids, right before going off to fuse with Kami. No-one really fell for it, though... it was kind of half-assed. It had been years since the trope could actually apply to him, and he'd become an outright hero by the time of the Android Saga whether he admitted it or not. Which is exactly why Kami is actually willing to fuse with him.
Beerus the Destroyer is this, though. Especially in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. He can be quite petty, mean, very short-tempered and blows up planets, but it's his job, and he can be nice and polite too, also always keeping his word (and using Loophole Abuse when he refuses to destroy the Earth). Just don't piss him off...
Hit from Dragon Ball Super. Despite being a Professional Killer, he's actually quite noble and chivalrous all things considered. Hit allows Goku to recover from his heavy blow because Goku's strength and technique forced him to improve his own abilities, and he feels he owes the other fighter for that. He also avoids sniping Goku while he's preparing his ultimate technique. He also rings himself out when Monaka successfully punched him to return Goku's favor when he did the same. In Episode 71, he offers to let Goku live and walk away if he disappears. Goku refuses and temporarily dies because of it. Of the hits we've seen him do, he also avoids killing anyone but his target, using his time skip to just bypass guards and civilians. He also lets his targets know they're about to die, kills them from the front, and does so quickly with a minimum of pain.

Cards of Remnant: Something that sets Ilia apart from Adam is that she keeps her grudge with Blake between them only and doesn't want Blake involved with the White Fang's activities. When she has Sun at sword point after beating him, she lets Blake continue to face her men to try and save him, not wishing to kill him in cold blood. When Blake is set to perform a move that could cause damage to everything around her though, she trusts Ilia to keep Sun safe, Ilia herself declaring Sun only dies if Blake loses, not before, which she makes good on when Performapal Gatling Ghoul proceeds to start attacking everything at random due to Blake's inability to control it. Ilia even gives Sun back after having her own monster destroy Gatling Ghoul.

Beast Wars gives us Dinobot, the Proud Warrior Race Guy of the Predacons who defects to the Maximals and becomes their vicious, but noble, Token Evil Teammate. While he holds his Maximal allies in high regard, he maintains that he is still a Predacon despite their alliance and has absolutely no interest in officially joining their ranks, even once opting to remain behind on the prehistoric planet they've found themselves on to effectively fight until he is killed rather than returning to Cybertron to be "treated as a Maximal". What separates him from his former Predacon allies is he views combat as something grand and poetic rather than just being a brute who fights and murders for personal gain, has lofty notions of the honor of fair combat over winning at any cost to the point he's perfectly willing to lower himself to his opponent's level for a fair fight, truly respects the honor and dignity of his Maximal allies over the scoundrels in Megatron's ranks, and holds dear his beliefs in fatalism, Do Not Go Gentle, and Defiant to the End. Naturally, after a bit of Heel–Face Revolving Door when he comes to wonder if Megatron's way truly is the right way, he goes out in the biggest Dying Moment of Awesome the series ever produced: he defends the primitive tribe that will sire the entire human race from the entire Predacon army by himself, dying but winning in the process and destroying the remnants of the Golden Disk to boot, all because it's the right thing to do and to restore his honor after betraying the Maximals. His Last Words sum it up the best:

The Cinder Spires is set in tall spires of incredibly hard stone set After the End. In Spire Albion, there are habbles, living areas made one on top of the other. The gangs that run Habble Morning are revealed to be basically this. They run things to keep their illegal activities going, protect those who pay their protection fees, deal with any outside criminal trying to make way in their territory all for the name of profit. The Spirearch, knowing he didn't know if there was a mole in his own Guard, sent private word and money to the gang leaders to prepare in case civilians needed to be evacuated from the Habble. They kept to their word and the civilians were moved to safety with no casualties during the major attack, and they helped with firefighting teams.

The Imagin of Kamen Rider Den-O are time-traveling spirits whose goal is to ravage the past in order to change the future, typically pulling cruel Literal Genie tricks along the way. However, the series introduces several Imagin who don't know their original goal or simply don't care for it; all of these Imagin end up as good guys. The singular best example is Kintaros, whose partner wished to become stronger. While most Imagin would beat up anybody stronger than their partner, Kintaros possessed the young man's body and underwent physical training using his extreme strength. Throughout the entire ordeal, Kintaros displays exceptional honor, courage, and compassion, and it's no surprise he ends up partnered with Den-O by the end of the two-parter.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Several characters follow the religion of Tash, who is basically that world's Satan, but are genuinely decent people who follow that religion only because they are brought up in it. Most notable is Emeth, an honorable Calormene soldier who is taken to Aslan's country (Heaven) at the end of The Last Battle despite having spent his life striving to serve Tash as faithfully as he could. Aslan explains that, just as evil done in his own name counts as service to Tash, he considers Emeth's pure-hearted and noble actions in Tash's name to be service to himself. There's also Alimash, Aravis' Calormene cousin, who Bree describes as a "worthy nobleman."

Played with in Tales of MU with Vice-Chancellor Embries. He's a "noble" dragon, employed by MU as their ace in the hole against the campus being razed to the ground again. He does, however, have an unfortunate habit of eating his secretaries. As Professor Hall says, "Few people mistake a noble dragon for a nice one more than once."

Atlas Shrugged: Imagine 1,000+ pages of characters constantly doing this. Whether they're making a Heroic Sacrifice when being blackmailed with a Sadistic Choice, giving food and shelter and later a job to a homeless man, or devoting their life to (what they see as) recovering stolen wealth and returning it to its rightful owners, with no monetary or material benefit to themselves, they will find a way to rationalize it as being "selfish."

Digimon Tamers: Impmon / Beelzemon is a weird example. He's prideful in his abilities, but as such, he's known for not attacking weak Digimon. The likely reason is that he feels it would be a waste of power, making this a subversion. Post-Heel–Face Turn he becomes a literal example. Still, when compared to the other Demon Lords...

Bazil Broketail: The officer in charge of Padmasan operations in the Kraheen empire on the Eigo continent, General Kreegsbrok, is pretty much the only Padmasan leader who isn't portrayed as a complete bastard. His methods are purely pragmatic, which means he doesn't engage in wanton war crimes when they don't serve any purpose and he doesn't advocate unnecessary cruelty towards slaves, since they are a valuable work force. Moreover, the Kraheen rulers were vicious bastards even before his takeover, so by overthrowing them he did their subjects a favor and actually improved their lives. Even Relkin calls Kreegsbrok a man of honor (though he also accuses him of losing said honor by serving such evil masters).

Todd from Stargate Atlantis may be a Wraith, but he's helped the humans out a fair bit with their various crises, some of which they caused in the first place. Todd is assumed to be killing and feeding from humans as usual when the Atlanteans aren't around (which is a necessity for any Wraith to survive). He does volunteer to be a test subject for an attempt to transform Wraith into beings capable of eating normal food, even if it doesn't work out in the end. What makes him stand out is that he considers Atlantis too useful to destroy, given how often he's benefited from their temporary alliances against his real enemy (rival Wraith). The one time he does act against Atlantis is when he believes (wrongly) that they have betrayed him.

The titular aliens in the Predator series are ruthless hunters who show no mercy to their prey and delight in Hunting the Most Dangerous Game, but draw the line at hunting those that are too weak to provide meaningful sport or otherwise cannot fight back (so no hunting children) and, if their prey proves to be more than an equal match to them, may concede to them and even offer a trophy of their own to their target as a sign of respect...if they don't attempt to set off a miniature nuke strapped to their armor and take their prey down with them.

Star Wars Legends:
For a Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis surprisingly fits this trope. For one thing, when Plagueis takes Palpatine under his wing, he makes it very clear that, although he is going to make Palpatine's training a living hell, he will not attempt to continue with Darth Bane's legacy of backstabbing, and intended to share everything he knew to Sidious expecting that he'd do so in return. Unfortunately, Sidious still managed to continue the legacy.
In his appearance in Galaxy of Fear, Thrawn comes off this way. He's cold and fairly callous and calculating, but he's also fair - when he thinks another character is responsible for the deaths of some of his men, he tries to find out the facts, and as soon as he's sure they didn't do it, he lets them go. He's also the only character in this series to really acknowledge that the protagonists are children - when Tash is rude, he crisply informs her that since she's a child, he won't take offense. This time.
Any bounty hunter who follows the Bounty Hunters' Creed.
Boba Fett fits this trope nicely. He is the Consummate Professional, and while he will work for anyone who can afford his prices, he does have a code of honor and a sense of justice. His justice is just much more direct and no-nonsense. The "evil" in him comes from the fact that he believes order, no matter how it is achieved, is preferable to chaos; so he'll work for a genocidal xenophobic totalitarian faction like the Galactic Empire because he genuinely believes it's better than the alternative of chaos across the galaxy without a unifying power. But he has standards and acts on them frequently, refusing jobs that do not meet his exacting standard of justice or outright refusing to do things that he considers wrong, like sniping the clone of Starkiller when he was distracted kissing Juno Eclipse.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
Evangeline A.K. McDowell, the vampire mage, constantly tells the rest of the cast how hideously and irredeemably evil she is, explicitly comparing herself to a video game Big Bad. So they'd better not be getting the wrong idea when she's saving their lives, making sure they're okay, giving them proper training, helping the resident ghost girl not be feared, etc. Though, given that she officially wants Asuna and Negi to be her video-game sub-bosses... Also, it might be that she simply took the "evil" name from the "good" mages, who don't necessarily seem all that good, compared to her. She just only cares about herself and the people she has chosen to care about. The rest, including the world, may go to scrapper.
Wilhelm is a literal Noble Demon, despite the fact that he petrified Negi's hometown (because he's forced to do it by the person who summoned him), he drops all sorts of hints that the petrification isn't permanent, and goes out of his way to not hurt any of the girls when he fights Negi, and gives him some useful advice.
Fate as well. He's a rather pleasant guy to be around, civilized, and willing to talk things out. Granted, he does have six young girls working for him. However, he justifies this when it is revealed that five of the six of them are each the sole survivors of destroyed villages that he just happened across, whom he'd helped without question. The sixth is just a battle loving, Psycho Lesbian girl who's creepy. When one asks how he forced them into it, he states that the girls volunteered of their own free will. He's saved 57 others. What did he do with them? Kill them? Torture them? Perform unspeakable horrors upon them? Nope. He gave them applications to prestigious boarding schools so that they could grow up into a successful life.

Deconstructed with Dreadwing — however well-intentioned he may be, he still supports Megatron, and his attempts to support Suzaku only end up putting the latter on a darker path precisely because Dreadwing does not see how evil Megatron is.
Following Dreadwing's defection to the Autobots and Black Knights, and later death, at the end of R1, R2 sees Sky-Byte become the Decepticons' resident soldier with a code of honor.

Breaking Bad: Mike Ehrmantraut, a former police officer who works as a bodyguard/hitman for meth kingpin Gustavo Fring. All of his actions are ultimately driven by a desire for his next paycheck, but he also has a strict policy about providing for his family at all costs and refusing to abandon former allies who have fallen into the hands of the law. Tellingly, his main conflict with Walt in Season 5 comes when Walt plans to orchestrate the assassinations of all of Gus' incarcerated agents to get out of paying them for their continued loyalty. Mike makes it clear that this crosses a serious moral line and refuses to even consider going along with it.
Walt himself starts as this, with his prime motivation being to provide enough for his family after his death. As he gets deeper into the criminal underworld and starts to enjoy the feeling of being a drug baron, this aspect of his character starts to fade until he's no better than his rivals. To sum up, Walt has a Heroic BSoD when he kills Krazy-8 in self-defense. Walt later becomes a cold-blooded murderer, as his kill list slowly but surely increases. Walt tried his best to keep Skyler out of his meth business and to protect her. Walt not only successfully drives Skyler to his side, but their Season 5A arc is basically 'Walt keeps Skyler as his hostage in threat of their children'. Walt basically advises Jesse with 'no violence'. His first act as Heisenberg is to blow up his superior's office room, uncaring of the life and property fallout. Walt also had a Thou Shalt Not Kill policy in his early days. Walt mows down anyone and nearly everyone after his epic murder of Gus. Not to mention Gale's murder. Walt saved Badger from prison, from even a possible prison murder, by paying off a con artist for a limited time in prison. Walt's The Godfather moment is ordering a large-scale prison massacre of Mike's above-mentioned men at the hands of the Aryan Brotherhood, including a lawyer who basically had no idea about Gus's empire. Walt got really angry over anyone who hurt his children. Walt poisons Brock non-fatally just to bring Jesse back to his side, and coldly watches Todd kill Drew Sharp. Walt has a no innocents rule in early Season 1. He casually watches Jane die, indirectly leading to a airplane crash that kills 167 people. Walt wanted to quit after calculating money needed for it, no more no less. He basically shrugs of a 5 million dollar risk-free deal with just the raw products of Walt's meth kitchen, all legally. He finally stopped at the 80 million mark, but Walt had better reasons than a true change of heart.
Even at his worst though, Walt surely showed signs of this. He concedes to Skyler's demands to handover Junior and Holly for safekeeping. Also, whenever Skyler and Saul advised killing Hank and Jesse to safeguard Walt's secret, Walt tried to Take a Third Option regarding them, only reluctantly ordering Jesse's assassination after he becomes too big a threat to be ignored, and his efforts to save Hank is truly to be seen to be believed. Walt eventually becomes a darker version of this in the series finale, where he basically rights all his wrongs, that which is possible by him for then.

Dragonlance: Raistlin Majere. An embittered, power-hungry Magnificent Bastard with a slew of Pet the Dog moments and a love/hate relationship with his twin Caramon.
Also, the Knights of Takhisis, who modeled themselves after the Knights of Solamnia. They are Card Carrying Villains who follow an evil goddess but stress chivalry, respect for their enemies, and loyalty to their comrades in arms. They frown upon the backstabbing, self-serving ways of their predecessors, the dragonlords.
In fact this trope was deliberately invoked in-universe. Age after age, the forces of evil would attempt to conquer the world, get most of the way there, determine that victory was inevitable, then start to turn on each other as each petty evil overlord tried to come out on top of the others when the dust settled, which gave the heroes the chance to regroup and turn things around. Takhisis was sick and tired of this, so she discarded the majority of her forces, all the hordes of monsters and minor tyrants, in order to found a knightly order who would follow a strict code of conduct and honor. They were much less powerful overall than her previous armies, but their unity and integrity made them much more dangerous than the less discriminate monsters of the past.
Lord Soth the Death Knight. Although evil and filled with an intense hatred for all living creatures, most of the time Soth retains a semblance of the pride he held as a Solamnic knight, and fights honorably. He will never ambush an opponent from behind, nor does he strike before his enemy can ready his weapon.

In Merlin we have Morgause. When trying to kill the king of Camelot (a dude who drowns children) she puts everyone who might try to fight her immortal soldiers under a sleeping spell. While considered the villain, she actually doesn't do much of anything that is really evil and has a lower body count than the heroes. Ultimately Subverted, as the next season shows she'll happily murder innocents, engage in slavery, backstab her own lover and is responsible for corrupting Morganna.

Wonderful Blessing: Mammon and Leviathan. Both are powerful generals of Hellrealm, but they have sympathetic aims (to end the Forever War, albeit in favour of the demons, so they can go home and start the family they wanted to) show a distaste for going too far and and have sympathetic backstories as victims of a coverup of an Ancient Conspiracy.

Hellsing:
Father Alexander Anderson. His hatred and wrath, though often directed towards understandable targets like vampires, is still rather misguided and includes Protestants. But even so, he's displeased with the Holy Crusade's and Maxwell's actions, claiming that such arrogance, bloodlust, and genocide is an affront against God.
Alucard could count as well. Or at least when he's under Integra Hellsing's direct influence. Just like Anderson, he is completely disgusted by Maxwell slaughtering millions of innocent civilians in London and doesn't waste any time in unleashing his familiars on Millennium's Nazi vampires and Maxwell's crusaders. There's a few other points in the series where he expresses disdain for artificial vampires who kill innocents to satisfy their own Drunk with Power egos or psychotic pleasures. Alucard usually mocks, tortures, and kills them in short order after that.

YuYu Hakusho:
Hiei fits this trope to a T. Not only is he a demon, but he keeps insisting that he's bad to the bone and cares about nobody, but his actions keep on betraying him. By the end of the series, he's loosened up enough that he actually admits to having friends and he gets emotionally close to a female demon with a past even more ghastly than his.
Yoko Kurama also plays this straight. He was once a sociopathic and ruthless thief, but by the time that he first appears in the series (midway through the Dark Tournament arc), he has since abandoned that for the most part. While it was feared that Kurama would pull a Face–Heel Turn once he transforms, his former demon self is shown to be more than willing in helping his human half and Team Urameshi. This is otherwise a subversion with Kurama, as while he is a demon he is way too noble to qualify, as Love Redeems. Although, he is still quite willing to do whatever he deems necessary to achieve his end goals, and seems to enjoy torturing anyone who actually manages to anger him in some rather horrifying ways.

Voltes V: Prince Heinel. In the earler episodes, he was a stereotypical haughty, belligerent villain. In future episodes he praises his subordinates for their dedications ad genuinely earns their respect in spite of his harsh attitude. He's willing to duel fairly one-on-one with Kenichi, even throwing him his sword to do so, and routinely forgives his underlings for their failures, unless they betray him, which he considers the worst kind of evil.
