Category:Remorseful Villains

Remorseful Villains are characters who feel sorry for their past actions, but have not necessarily "turned good".

It is important to note that, with almost every of these characters, their remorse can eventually lead to their redemption (though this is not always the case, as seen with Packie McReary). However, redeemed villains cannot be remorseful. Some of these villains may also move to another evil plan (usually a less evil one).

There are several reasons a villain can feel remorse, which includes:
 * Feeling terrible for exceeding in their misdeeds, they may not truly redeem themselves in some cases but still they show real concern about their actions and the consequences that affect othersand the villain themselves. Big Brother of Five Nights at Freddy's 4, King Salazar from Wakko's Wish, The Champion, and Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine are examples.
 * For helping another villain far more evil than them, unaware that they were tricked and then get eventually betrayed once they are not of their use, William Afton is a an example.
 * Having committed atrocities in the past and now showing concern in the present on how to fix everything they've done. Benny is an example.
 * Realizing their schemes didn't go as they wanted and now want to either solve it with help of the heroes or do it themselves. Shou Tucker in the 2003 anime series of Fullmetal Alchemist is an example.
 * Admitting that they were wrong all along about what they thought and believed.Thanos and Count Dooku are examples.
