Category:Protective

"When she was two years old, that little girl sat on my lap. That is when I swore to God I would rip the f*cking skin off of anyone who f*cking wronged her."

- Trevor Phillips about Michael De Santa's daughter Tracey.

Protective Villains are the opposite of what many expect from an antagonistic "boss" - they genuinely care for another being, whether it be paternal/maternal, romantic or simply a "matter of principle" these villains will not only tend towards treating their minions well, but often go into a rage when their minion(s) are threatened or harmed.

Sometimes this can be because the minion(s) are relations to the "villain", the villain's lover(s), friend(s) or (as mentioned above) the villain simply has a personality in which they genuinely value those who aid them.

This is basically the polar opposite of both the Category:Failure-Intolerant Villain and the infamous "Bad Boss" archetype.

A Complete Monster should not really qualify in this category as they are supposed to care about no-one besides themselves and this contradicts that.
