10 "Good" Video Game Factions That Are Secretly Evil

10. The Loyalists - Dishonored

The Loyalist Conspiracy, or the Loyalists for short, is a group from the original Dishonored that's dedicated to helping Corvo rescue the Empress's daughter, Emily, and reinstate her on the throne.

The conspiracy eventually betrays Corvo to turn Emily into a political puppet and therefore put themselves in charge, becoming the antagonists of the third act of the game, but if you pay close attention to the various hints left throughout the world, you can actually figure out that the Loyalists are not the humble servants they claim to be way earlier.

If you use the Heart on the Loyalists’ leader, Admiral Havelock, it will reveal to you some secrets about his past. The Heart will first tell you that he used to be a whale hunter who killed the creatures for greed and pleasure, and then that he was a mutineer who, contrary to the official story, defected from the navy after the Empress's death not because of being outraged by the assassination but to attempt to seize control over the military, further alluding to his true motive.

Havelock and his buddies were setting you up from the get-go, and it was staring you in the face the whole time.
