Redeemed Villains

This category is for villains that Are no longer Evil and are currently in the good side.

Notes[]

• Complete Monsters have no chance of any redemption since they're completely beyond it, no matter the circumstances. Likewise, it is impossible for redeemed characters to revert back to their evil ways unless they are possessed/brainwashed by another villain (or villains), but even then, the redeemed villain STAYS redeemed.
  • If some villains were considered as Complete Monsters but eventually redeemed themselves, it means that they were never purely evil in the first place since Complete Monsters are irredeemable.
• Furthermore, Villains who join the heroes' sides out of PRAGMATIC and SELF-SERVING needs, but still retain their villainous nature, can NEVER count as Redeemed. It's highly likely that these types of villains WILL slip back into their evil ways once their needs are fulfilled.
• Neutral characters (a la "average joes") or characters initially un-involved with any side of the conflict do not count (e.g. Tari and Axol). They should usually go under From Zero To Hero and/or Reluctant Heroes‏‎ instead. Some, however, can still become purely good.
• False villains, if they never were evil, they do not count either. They should go under Antagonists, False Antagonist, Falsely Accused, and/or Scapegoat instead.
• Servants/Pawns, Heroes who served on the villain's side but said circumstances have never done anything evil or bad do not count. They should go under Servant of a Villain‏‎, Related to Villain, Pawn of the Villain‏‎ and/or Defectors instead, unless they actually did genuine villainy.
• Anti-Heroes, Heroes who do have dishonorable and/or corrupting qualities but were not villains to begin with do not count either. They should go under Anti-Heroes instead, unless they actually were villains who turned to the good side and still contain their unpleasant qualities (e.g. SMG3 and Willow).
• Jerks, heroes that were simply jerks or bullies before they became heroes also do not count if they did nothing truly evil before they actually became heroes, they should go under Jerks and/or Arrogant‏‎ instead, unless they became Pure of Heart‏‎ which rules out those qualities.
• Heroes who simply lose all of their corrupting qualities do not count (e.g. Legobolt1472), unless they actually were villains in the past (e.g Melony).
• Temporarily Brainwashed or Forced into it, if a hero was forced into it by circumstance or were temporarily brainwashed into becoming villains, they also do not qualify and should go under Possesed/Brainwashed and/or Pawn of the Villain instead. A redeemed villain must have been a genuine villain before becoming good.

If the hero is currently in an On & Off status, they are NOT redeemed unless they stayed good right up to the very end of the story.

• Also, do not create pages based on this category, as villains who redeem themselves, but merely become average Joes or didn't do enough heroic deeds compared to their past misdeeds do not count.

Please note that a character has to have been established as a villain before turning good.
