Quote from: Elfdart;842711I'd go with Tywin Lannister (TV version). He's quite evil, yet he puts his family above himself and his own offspring. This scene cinched it for me:

Thought of a good example today: Col. Stryker from the X-men movies and comics.  Lawful, because he believes in the good of his group - humankind - over the individual.  He also places a high value on military structure and hierarchy.  But evil because in service to his goal - protecting humanity from the perceived menace of mutants - he's willing to commit genocide, an inherently evil act.  He'll also deceive Xavier into using Cerebro to kill millions of mutants, and would force Logan to undergo the adamantium impregnation of his bones against his will (by all accounts, a horribly painful procedure, even if it couldn't kill healing factor havin' Wolverine) in order to accomplish his goals, the protection of his country and his race.
