So you've got yourself an Anti-Villain. He's a pretty decent guy, and if you were on his side, you'd probably be best buds. And yet he constantly wants to kill you. Why? Can't you guys just talk it out? I mean, surely you can come to an understanding. What's the worst that can happen? Oh wait, that's right: his boss will kill him. See, many a Big Bad rules through fear, and that includes his subordinates. As such, they'll often threaten their Mooks, their Quirky Miniboss Squad, and even their Dragon, with death (or some other severe punishment) should they fail in their tasks. That doesn't seem too bad to a villain if they see themselves working for the Big Bad indefinitely, but if they have a Heel–Face Turn, a Heel Realization, or realize that they dug themselves too deep, what are they to do? Defy the Big Bad and get killed for it? Or keep on doing the villain's dirty work, even if that means just digging themselves even deeper into their disastrous situation? It's quite a conundrum. Sometimes, a villain will find protection from the Big Bad (or those higher up on the food chain than him) by joining up with the good guys and using them as his shields. However, this isn't quite as easy if the villain is stuck in a hostage situation, or if their boss has the power to remotely kill off the former villain should they ever hesitate to perform their duties. But their strongest weapon is, again, fear. Even if it would be ridiculously easy to join the heroes (clinging onto their honor aside), sometimes a Big Bad will have such a strong grip of fear over his minions, that they don't even dare to try to betray their master. The "oppressive force" in question doesn't always have to be a Big Bad, or even a villainous character. The former villain may have wielded a dark power, and failure to continue doing their job will cause the power to turn on them. This may be brought on by Horror Hunger, if an evil character has to feast on something...unpleasant, and after deciding he doesn't want to be evil anymore, will remain incapable of fighting his urges (at the risk of death). See Anti-Villain for other forms of non-evil villainy. Compare with the much darker Punch-Clock Villain, where the villain does their evil deeds just because it's a job, and hey, they have to be paid (but they don't feel anywhere near as much remorse for it), and with the smaller-scale Peer-Pressured Bully, who is mostly just afraid of being a bully victim themselves. This often occurs due to a character who is Driven to Villainy, but then wants to get out. Contrast Just Following Orders, since that is used as an excuse after the fact, and in most cases they didn't have much of a problem with following orders at the time. These may often overlap with Forced into Evil and/or become a Regretful Traitor. A criminal-specific inversion is Just a Gangster, where a criminal refuses to leave the world of crime when given the chance. noreallife Examples |

In Pact, the spirits that control the world don't differentiate between different members of the same bloodlines, (regardless of how moral the descendant in question might be), and breaking any oath (even one made when the person is impaired, coerced or a young child) leaves you open to a Fate Worse than Death. Throw a load of ancient wizarding clans into the mix, and you have a whole lot of people who are thoroughly miserable with the status quo of being forced into an Arranged Marriage with a Big, Screwed-Up Family of practitioners, or servitude to a malevolent Anthropomorphic Personification of conquest, but are as trapped as their own parents were, and their own children inevitably will be. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: In Brightly Burning, the leaders of the Karsite army are pyrokinetics who will burn deserting or troublesome subordinates just as gleefully as they burn foreign prisoners. They have also fed those subordinates propaganda all their lives about how the country they're invading is demonic. This is why they keep attacking even as it becomes clear how hopelessly outgunned they are. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending: after several hours of watching his countrymen get slaughtered, a mage on the Valdemaran side snaps and annihilates the Karsites. | |

Officer Jeff in The Mental State acts as an informant in the police force for Saif Dhu Hadin. He even provides him with the means to control the other prisoners. However, the only reason why he does this is because Saif is paying for his daughter's medical treatments and she would die without them. He is clearly unhappy with his current predicament but unable to do anything about it. Once Zack devises a method by which Saif is forced to pay the medical bills anyway, Jeff happily accepts his punishment and even thanks Zack for what he did. | |

Though at first the town owned Oasis for cleaning up organized crime, she remained a ruthless vigilante and compulsive killer. |

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School has Ruruka Andou. Their Deadly Action is "Letting anyone leave the game stage", forcing them into becoming a villain who has to keep everyone inside the building and hide the only way out. This turns out to be completely pointless, as there's no exit and the "way out" actually leads to the power source of the building which can stop the game and deactivate her code, making her code unbreakable. The mastermind still uses this to manipulate her into Sanity Slippage based on her already paranoid behavior. | |

The Belgariad: This applies to most of the Angarak people ruled by the Mad God Torak. Apart from the priests and the more zealous warriors, most just pay lip service to his Religion of Evil except when coerced, and many are quietly on quite good terms with their Western "enemies." Notably, the Mallorean Empire displaced the priests and developed a cosmopolitan, bureaucratic, moderate society, up until Torak took back the reins and sent them into a genocidal war. Zedar the Apostate made the ill-advised choice to infiltrate the evil god Torak's inner circle, only to find that an evil god simply enslaves his minions to his will rather than hope they'll stay loyal. Even after Torak was crippled and left comatose, Zedar is still forced to serve his agenda. |

Loki in Loki: Agent of Asgard. His first, evil self decided to play the role of the villain, but since gods are creatures of magic and thus creatures of story, First!Loki was stuck like that. He became predictable (and, as he said, "No god of chaos could stand such a thing"), but he couldn't escape that role until the day he died, so...he died. Through his reincarnation into a younger body, he was able to escape and be the hero for once, but the villain of his solo series is none other than his evil future self, slipped back into villainy for good. | |

Fire Emblem: From Chapter 10 of Fire Emblem: Awakening: This conversation between a Plegian general and his soldiers after Emmeryn's Heroic Sacrifice is the result of a Heel–Face Door-Slam amongst the Plegian army: This goes for the Avatar's Nohrian siblings in Fire Emblem Fates. They're not evil themselves, just jaded from lives spent in the Decadent Court, and most of their less savory actions are ordered by their cruel father. A Nohr-aligned Avatar also counts since they follow said cruel father out of loyalty to said siblings. In the first game and its remakes, Minerva is forced to fight against Marth and his allies because her younger sister Maria is being held prisoner. If Marth rescues Maria, he can talk Minerva into a Heel–Face Turn. |

The titular character and his brother Mugman from Cuphead after being suckered into a Deal with the Devil are, in exchange for the Devil considering to let them off the hook, forced to hunt down his various debtors and claim the contracts for their souls, effectively dragging every single one off to hell if they succeed. In the end the duo try a different idea: they get tough enough to beat the Devil's ass down and destroy the contracts, instead saving the souls of everyone and becoming heroes in the process. | |

The villain's organization then made his green card contingent on working for them and only for them, so he will be deported back to Mexico and be executed for the crime if he doesn't. | |

He's a Nervous Wreck, hates himself for not standing up to the captain, and manages to slip in a few acts of sabotage here and there, because he doesn't want to kill anyone, but nevertheless, without his cooperation, the villains' job would be much harder. | |

RWBY: Roman Torchwick was already Vale's crime boss, but he never sought the world-changing death and destruction Cinder Fall was planning. By the time he realised what Cinder was doing, he was in too deep to get out. In Volume 3, he tells Ruby Rose no-one can stop these super-villains; you have to join them or die. Ilia Amitola is not a fan of the extreme methods that the White Fang employ and doesn't relish the idea of hurting people. However, she has long since crossed the Despair Event Horizon and genuinely doesn't know how else to help the Faunus aside from violence. While dueling each other in the Volume 5 episode "True Colors", Blake Belladona points out to Ilia she keeps making the wrong choices. Eventually, a tearful Ilia asks Blake what she is supposed to do. She finds her answer after stopping Corsac Albain from attacking the Belladonnas, and pulls a Heel–Face Turn. Hazel Rainart hates Ozpin because he feels the Huntsman Academies are throwing away the lives of children. Though Ozpin accepts Hazel's perception of him, he's baffled by Hazel's conclusion that opposing him means siding with the monstrous Salem. While torturing Ozpin for the password to the Relic of Knowledge, Hazel admits he did go after Salem first. She let him kill her repeatedly until he broke from the futility of fighting her. She redirected his rage at Ozpin, promising him a Huntsman-free world. Hazel's true problem with Ozpin is his determination to encourage opposition to an Invincible Villain instead of accepting its futility; when he refuses to believe Ozpin's explanation that Salem's true end-game is planetary destruction, Oscar Pine intervenes to give Hazel the password to the Relic of Knowledge in the hope that Hazel will use it to discover the truth for himself. Tyrian Callows believes that Mercury Black's boast about being fine with serving Salem because he's a trained assassin is hiding the fear of leaving the cycle of pain and violence his abusive father trapped him into. After Salem promotes him out of Cinder's group, Tyrian confirms to him and Emerald that Salem's true end-game is to destroy the world. A visibly hesitant Mercury is whisked away to Vacuo by Tyrian before he can discuss it further with Emerald; these leaves her free to defect, but not him. |

In Lost Judgment the accomplices of Jin Kuwana are his former high school students back when he was a teacher that he's blackmailed into being his lackies. Unlike other examples, they're treated fairly unsympathetically since they're responsible for driving a kid to suicide (for which they don't show any regret) and Kuwana treats forcing them to act as his goons as a form of atonement. | |

Harry Potter has Draco Malfoy as a zig-zagged example who, for the first five books, is just a nuisance for Harry to deal with at school on his own accord. Admittedly, he does some pretty nasty stuff during those five books, from bullying and verbal abuse towards Harry's dead parents to starting a smear campaign against Hagrid and attempting to have his pet executed. Once he joins the Death Eaters, however, things change. He's given the job to kill Dumbledore, which seems simple enough in theory. But once Draco realizes that he can't follow through with direct murder so easily, he remains hesitant throughout the next book, and only stays in Voldemort's service because he's terrified of the man. | |

Attack on Titan: Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie are a case of this. They aren't particularly happy about what they're doing, but view it as absolutely necessary. They hail from a totalitarian nation where their people are kept in Fantastic Ghettos and have absolutely no rights as human beings. Should they fail their mission or be suspected of rebellious thoughts, their superiors will kill them and condemn their entire family to A Fate Worse Than Death. If they won't complete their mission, their superiors will simply find someone else to do it. Eren actually calls Hange out on doing this to them, pointing out that the entire military had four years to come up with alternate ways to save their home and ensure a peaceful resolution to things, but that they have done nothing, so of course they had to go with the only option originally given. Their inactivity resulted in strong-arming Eren into having to attack Libero, killing innocent people, and making Historia a baby-making machine, to go along with Zeke's plan for the Eldrians on Paradis. Eren committed atrocious things in his attack on Libero, but at least he achieved something by eating the War-Hammer Titan and getting its abilities, compared to the nothing that the rest of the military had achieved. Hange later admits that she was incapable of saying anything in response, as they were absolutely right. |

Black Ghost in Cyborg 009 is fond of picking a hero, then going out and getting a nice and sympathetic guy (or tracking down the hero's loved ones if Black Ghost is feeling particularly mean), forcibly augmenting them with cybernetic parts, and ordering them to go kill said hero or the self-destruct mechanism in them will explode. He does this so often that it's practically his modus operandi. | |

In 24, this is the ultimate fate of Ira Gaines. As a mercenary for hire, he takes on the job to kill Jack Bauer and his family along with David Palmer for a large sum of money from the Drazens. Unfortunately for him, he didn't realize how unstoppable Jack Bauer really is. He seems to regret taking on the job by the end, but fights to the death anyway because he knows that getting killed by Jack is a better fate than what the Drazens would do him. | |

In Inuyasha, Kagura quickly comes to hate Naraku, especially when she begins to develop sympathy for poor Kohaku (and eventually a crush on Seshomaru). Unfortunately for Kagura, Naraku has possession of her heart and can kill her easily at any time by crushing it. | |

Lena from DuckTales (2017) has no interest in her aunt's evil plans and hates the fact that she's forced to manipulate and lie to her best friend, but a combination of them being magically bound together and emotional abuse keeps her under Magica's thumb. And when she finally does muster up the courage to turn on Magica and try to warn Scrooge of her plans, Magica decides to cut out the middle man and take control of her body directly. | |

In The Order of the Stick prequel Start of Darkness, Xykon invokes this on Redcloak with a merciless Break Them by Talking speech. As he says, if Redcloak wants to betray Xykon and abandon the Plan, he'd have to face the crushing Heel Realization that every evil thing he did, including murdering his own little brother, was his own fault. Effectively, Redcloak traps himself in villainy with the Sunk Cost Fallacy and the delusion that Xykon, as a more powerful Card-Carrying Villain, can be blamed for the things Redcloak does as his lackey. | |

Unfortunately for them, everyone who hires them turns out to be a villain trying to take on the Furious Five, or otherwise commit crimes.

This goes for the Avatar's Nohrian siblings in Fire Emblem Fates. They're not evil themselves, just jaded from lives spent in the Decadent Court, and most of their less savory actions are ordered by their cruel father. A Nohr-aligned Avatar also counts since they follow said cruel father out of loyalty to said siblings. | |

Vow of Nudity: One story’s guest star, Fiora the Forest Witch, has her entire backstory revolve around this. First her college bans her from becoming a graduate student because she’s poor, then she realizes her favorite professor had been co-opting her research to prime the school for demonic invasion. Left with seconds to act and nobody to turn to for help, she sells her soul to an opposing demon lord to stop him, and suffers for years as an unhappy abyssal thrall for her sacrifice. (Worst of all, since nobody else knows the true context, she’s remembered by everybody as only an insane/jealous demon worshipper who killed her teacher.) | |

Adam feels terrorism is the only way to get Faunus rights, but would rather not destroy Beacon because the fall of the Academy would benefit only the Grimm, but Cinder will kill his people if he tries to leave. Mercury was mostly just going with the flow until he found things he actually cared about, but Cinder will kill him if he tries to leave. Even Cinder herself isn't really happy with her goals, but she still wants the Maiden's power and ambition is the only thing that really drives her. | |

Asa can only act when Yoru allows it, and is under constant threat of mental erasure. Yoru promises to free Asa once they restore the nuclear weapons Chainsaw Man had Ret-Gone, but tries to make Asa more willing to hurt people for her own sake, especially when it comes to their shared power to turn people into weapons powered by the guilt for killing them. | |

So at the climax, he's about to shoot the now deinfested Kerrigan or be killed by Mengsk (it's the only reason he was released from prison in the first place). Raynor shoots him. However, its implied that this was a Suicide by Cop, as Tychus hesitates to shoot Kerrigan, giving Raynor time to reach for his gun and shoot him in the head. | |

In an episode of Batman: The Animated Series, hard luck civilian Charlie Collins goes through this when he cusses out a driver after getting cut off on the highway while already having a bad day. That driver turned out to be the Joker, who then forces Charlie to help him in an assassination plot against Commissioner Gordon and the Gotham police department during his birthday celebration. Charlie changed his name and moved his family to another location far away, hoping the Joker couldn't find him, but as the Joker pointed out, he was watching him and his family the whole time after their encounter. Charlie was able to turn the tables, however, and get the Joker off of his back by beating him at this own game. | |

However, none dare give up their position for fear of upsetting the delicate balance of power between them. Specifically, six of them are roughly equal in strength to the seventh member (Jagganoth) alone, who wants to bring about an all-encompassing war to annihilate all of existence and has the power to do it, and they need to be around to stop him from doing so. | |

Mikey Rhodes in Birthright made a deal with the Big Bad to reunite with his family in exchange for paving the way for his conquest of Earth. To ensure his loyalty, he was infected with a parasitic spirit to ensure his loyalty by torturing him whenever he shows defiance or, if necessary, killing him if he tries to betray them. Removing the parasite is also dangerous, since their life forces are now tied and Mikey will die if separated from it for a long period of time. Mikey doesn't want to see Earth conquered, but he has no choice other than obeying. | |

In The Dreamstone, most of the Urpneys are impersonal dimwits who only follow Zordrak's orders because of his tendency to turn Mooks into stone or feed them to his carnivorous pets should they annoy him. Granted, they do not have their conscience bothering them over their actions during military service. They would just prefer not to be sent out on dangerous missions with ridiculous gadgets in tow, to steal from angry Noops and Wuts. They change to Punch Clock Villains in later episodes, even sabotaging one of Zordrak's schemes so he won't relieve them of their duties. Frizz and Nug would still rather not be dragged into missions, however. | |

When Nadeem finds out that this includes his boss SAC Tammy Hattley, he asks why exactly she's chosen to do Fisk's bidding and hasn't bothered trying to blow the whistle to another law enforcement agency like the NYPD, and she states that she can't because Fisk makes sure that the only way you can get out of working for him is by a bullet to the head, and also is willing to threaten your family to keep you in line. | |

In Dragon Ball Multiverse, the novelization implies this is pretty much the only reason why Bujin still hangs out with Bojack. | |

When Life Gives You Lemons (Worm/Portal): Aperture Science was very good at luring in scientists and then trapping them with contracts and threats that ensured they could never leave the company despite the horrifying nature of its experiments. Most of the AI cores Taylor works with were originally Aperture employees who wanted to escape the company and used their new status to eliminate its worst elements. | |

In one arc of Jack (David Hopkins), a man becomes the assistant of a doctor who is working on a new treatment that could save the man's wife from dying of cancer. The man eventually discovers that the doctor is a twisted paedophile who is molesting child patients in his "care". He immediately threatens to go to the authorities, but the doctor reminds him that his research is the only hope his wife has and he is weeks away from completing it. The man reluctantly chooses his wife's life over the well-being of the children. This becomes a Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story when the doctor eventually murders all of the children to cover his tracks, and the man's wife dies of shock when he confesses what he did. The only bright spot is that a hidden camera placed by a suspicious security guard exposed the doctor's crimes and he gets executed via lethal injection while whimpering in fear. The powers that be are sympathetic to the man's plight; though his sin denies him entry to Heaven, he is sent to Purgatory instead of Hell. | |

Played with in Magic: The Gathering; Liliana Vess is a ruthless, selfish woman in general, and freely manipulates the rest of the Gatewatch to her will, but would not voluntarily betray them. At the end of the 2018 Dominaria storyline, Nicol Bolas reveals that by killing all of the fiends she bartered with for eternal youth and beauty, her debt has defaulted to him instead. If she disobeys him, she will immediately return to her true age, which, given the centuries she has spent as a Planeswalker prior to the Mending, will kill her all but instantly. Since she is, at heart, too much of a coward to let herself die, she is forced to serve Bolas and betray her former comrades. And then, in the War of the Spark storyline, Liliana decides she can't stand being Bolas' thrall after everything she's gone through with the Gatewatch, turns against him, and she begins to burn from the inside as her centuries catch up with her. But before the breaking of the contract can take hold, Gideon takes the damage unto himself, dying in her place. |

Game of Thrones: In season 2, Theon Greyjoy feels this way (in contrast to the book, where he's much less sympathetic). He has not outright been threatened with death by his father, but he felt compelled by family loyalty to fight for them against his friends, and though he initially thinks he can be a Punch-Clock Villain, he finds himself kicking dogs left and right as he struggles not to lose the respect of the mutinous killers he has for subordinates. When Maester Luwin gently confronts him about the brutal facade he's been putting up, Theon replies that he's "gone too far" to let go of it. His fear of his underlings proves justified, as they turn on him in a second when he's proven his incompetence and it's their lives or his. Tyrion feels compelled to serve his power-hungry and ruthless family. Eventually, he manages to break free from the Lannisters, still leaving in this trope older brother Jaime, who Took a Level in Idealism after suffering a lot, but due to even closer bonds to the royal family, is still forced to do bad things for them. Stannis really and truly wants to serve the Realm, purge corruption, and restore order, and he's the only one of the Five Kings who responds and comes to the aid of the Night's Watch and places the White Walker invasion on priority. However, circumstances, bad luck, and cruel fate forces him to rely on Melisandre's magic powers and the great price that comes with it. She herself tells Stannis that he will be forced to betray everything he holds dear to save the realm. He never finds out all that it implies until he realizes that he has to sacrifice his daughter in order to win the campaign to liberate the North from the Boltons to better help the Night's Watch. |

In Baby Driver, Baby only works as a getaway driver for bank robbers (who are not a particularly nice group) because he owes a debt to Doc, an underworld kingpin. He pays off the last of that debt midway through the film, and assumes Doc will let him walk away. Doc refuses, as he's realised how valuable Baby's skills are, wants him to join the team full-time, and won't take no for an answer. | |

Titan from Invincible (2021) is an Anti-Villain who would rather not be involved in crime at all, wanting to reform and support his wife and daughter. Unfortunately for him, he is very good at crime and owes money to a powerful supervillain named Machinehead, who forces him to work in his gang by threatening his family and refuses to let him quit out of fear he could be poached by rival villains. Titan retaliates by selling out Machinehead and his crew to the Guardians of the Globe, resulting in all of them except his lieutenant being arrested. Unfortunately for everyone else, Titan's experiences have convinced him to not reform after all, but instead take Machinehead's now empty throne and become the new local crimelord in the name of looking out for his family and community. | |

When Londo becomes Emperor of the Centauri in Babylon 5, he is forced to take on a Drakh Keeper, upon threat of the Drakh detonating fusion bombs they'd hidden all over Centauri Prime, which would kill millions of his subjects. He thus spends his 15-odd year reign as Emperor forced to either rubberstamp or stay out of the way of Drakh policy in their shadow-rule of the Centauri Republic, which they use as a seat of power to subvert and make war on the Interstellar Alliance. Per the Centauri Trilogy of novels (and the flashforward scene in the episode "War Without End"), Londo does have moments where he manages to discreetly work around the Keeper, generally when he's inebriated since alcohol can temporarily put it to sleep. | |
