Or maybe a hero was forced to commit a necessary evil, and occasionally any kind of villainy against their will, and never forgave themselves, deciding they were now a villain beyond hope/not deserving of salvation or redemption, possibly becoming a Death Seeker in the process. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

This is not the trope I thought it was when I nominated it. I was thinking a hero turned into a villain through tragic or sympathetic circumstances, the example I had in mind being Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight.

Nox (Wakfu)
Turns out he actually WINS, beats the heroes, and goes through with his plan...only for it to turn out that all the resources he had gathered only allowed him to go back 20 minutes (granted he used a decent amount of his resources fighting the heroes gunning for him). Sure he had done the impossible and proved the god of time wrong, but to nowhere near the extent he was aiming for. He breaks down in tears as he glances around at all the damage and the army surrounding him before vanishing away from em. It is implied that he chose to die near the graves of his family. Mr. Freeze (Batman Beyond / Batman) There is also some other comic stuff I think where it turns out his wife had gotten better / was alive but was told that Mr. Freeze was dead by some jackass who took her for himself or something. Overall he had it pretty rough. Dracula (Castlevania TV Series) Understandably, Dracula was FUCKING PISSED. Even then, he gave the people one year to get the fuck out as he would rain down hell upon their asses for what they did. They don't heed this warning (because apparently a giant angry skull of fire yelling at you isn't enough of a red flag) and get BTFO hard a year later --- XBL GT: Demon Ninja X2 "There comes a time in every man's or woman's life where they have to make **** up to cover their ass." - Hazama ...

I feel like this is not a good definition of "tragic villain". (I know you didn't make it, just saying)
I'm having trouble putting into words how I view the term, but like as I see it someone like Kuja is a good example of a tragic villain, but he doesn't really fit that definition at all. Also this definition seems to open the door to antagonists who are not really villains. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ...
