10 Video Game Villains That Were Totally Right

10. Logan - Fable 3

At first glance Logan, the king and primary antagonist of Fable 3, is written like your stereotypical villain. He is a power-obsessed tyrant who has little regard for human life and will do anything to remain on the throne.

However, as you delve deeper into his story and mindset, you begin to understand that his actions are not only justifiable—they might actually make him a better-suited ruler than your own pretender character.

Although Logan is undeniably cruel, his actions aren’t dictated by some perverse desire to cause harm but rather by a deep obligation towards his kingdom. Everything he does, he does for the sake of the realm. He wants to protect it from the looming threat of the Crawler’s dark armies and understands that sacrifices have to be made if he is to succeed.

The evil actions he commits are why Albion experiences an industrial revolution and why it manages to rapidly expand its army. Even when your character eventually replaces Logan and saves the day, they do so with the resources Logan’s sacrifices managed to procure.

It’s a bitter truth, but Logan’s villainy is the only reason you were able to become Albion’s hero.
