Category:Necessary Evil

Villains who can actually serve very important purposes and need to be kept alive, imprisoned, or simply kept around. No matter how sadistic, bloodthirsty, cruel, or even how much they are hated, these villains cannot be destroyed/killed or something terrible can happen. These characters are similar to Virtually Resourceful characters, but are obviously opposed to their alignment. These characters are usually created to keep the story relatively three-dimensional.
