Oh yeah? Well, that little girl sat on my lap when she was two years old, and I swore to God I would rip the f***ing skin off of anyone who f***ing wronged her.

Villains who are the opposite of what many expect from an antagonistic "boss"; they genuinely care for another being. Whether it be parental, siblings, romantic, friendship, or simply a "matter of principle", these villains will not only treat their minions or leaders well, but can also at times go into a rage when they are threatened or harmed and they are willing to go out of their way to save them at their own risks (e.g. Blitzo, Misa Amane, Teru Mikami, Rem).

Sometimes, this can be because the minions or leaders are related to the villain, the villain's lovers, friends, or (as mentioned above) the villain genuinely values those who aid them.

IMPORTANT: Pure Evil villains CANNOT be in this category, because they do not care about the well-being or safety of anyone (except for themselves). Even if in some cases, they seemingly show care to someone, it is only for pragmatic reasons and they will not hesitate to let throw them under the bus the second they're no longer useful (e.g. Lord Voldemort, Blackbeard, William Afton, Judge Claude Frollo, Captain Vidal, Princess Shroob, The Master (Harold Saxon), Boris the Animal, Diavolo, and Ghirahim). Even if they did genuinely love or care for someone at some point in their lives, they end up completely discarding it and no longer have such a redeeming quality (e.g. Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, Dio Brando, Ego, Norman Osborn, Eobard Thawne, Zoom, Mysterio, Griffith, Darkseid, Emperor Belos, Randall Boggs, Ozai, Donquixote Doflamingo and King Boo).

However, despite the fact a genuinely protective villain is never purely evil, some of them can still be psychopaths willing to cross the Moral Event Horizon if their protectiveness towards certain people doesn't contradict their lack of empathy toward everyone else (e.g. Penguin (Batman Returns), Rumpelstiltskin, Randall, Tommy DeVito, Azazel, William Birkin, Lalo Salamanca, Queen Ingrith, Killian, Hiro Shishigami, Mark Hoffman and Aaron the Moor). On the other hand, it can be a redeeming quality to some villains if they are willing to change for the person they're protective of (e.g. Ken, Beast, The Prowler, Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Felonious Gru, John Silver, Loki Laufeyson, Goro Akechi, Nebula, and Yondu Udonta).

Also, DO NOT add characters like these even if they are not Pure Evil:

This category is ONLY for villains who still have genuine care for the well-being of people, animals, etc. For villains who protect things or places (including those labeled as Pure Evil), see the Guardians category instead.
