D&D Alignment
Lawful Evil
Lawful evil characters pursue power and self-interest methodically, within the bounds of a code, tradition, or hierarchy. They value order and loyalty — but without mercy or compassion. They play by the rules and use them to dominate, exploit, and destroy anyone in their way.
Example Characters
Darth Vader — loyal to the Emperor, ruthless to all others
A tyrant who rules through strict, cruel laws
Corrupt noble — exploits the system while honoring it
