* [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] with Zerxus in ''[[WebVideo/CriticalRoleExandriaUnlimited Exandria Unlimited: Calamity]]''. Zerxus is an Oath of Redemption Paladin, but his belief is less "anyone can be redeemed" and more "''I '' can redeem anyone". Not only does this make him just as hubristic as the other party members, it leaves him open to manipulation from [[SatanicArchetype Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells]]. He spins a tale painting himself and fellow Betrayer Gods as NotEvilJustMisunderstood, and by the time Xerxus finds out the hard way he's [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk exactly as bad as he seemed]], he's already helped undo their SealedEvilInACan and set Exandria up for its CataclysmBackstory. ''And'' doomed himself to a DealWithTheDevil. The one glimmer of hope is he manages to get through to Vespin Chloras, who really ''was'' a misunderstood victim.

** The Knights of the Cross have this as their primary duty. They are three people at any given time who carry with them a Sword. In the hilt of each Sword is a Nail that crucified Jesus Christ. When they come against the Knights of Blackened Denarius, any of thirty people who have taken up a silver Denarius which houses in it one of Lucifer's top thirty Fallen, their first job isn't to smite them or their angel within the mortal, but offer the mortal a chance to be redeemed. The mortal can be freed from the enthrallment if they feel genuine remorse for their actions. One Knight is even a redeemed host.
** Harry Dresden plays this in an unorthodox way. For about four years [[spoiler:he is host to the Shadow of Lasciel, one of the Fallen in the Denarius, after Harry picked the coin up to save a child from touching it. The Shadow starts off as a carbon copy of Lasciel and her first goal is to get Harry to take up the Coin completely and let Lasciel within him. Harry stubbornly refuses. While most humans fall in months if not days, Harry continues to keep her at arms length. He eventually comments to the Shadow while the true Lasciel might be immutable to the influence of one human, the Shadow is as malleable as the material she is imprinted on. So if she can change him to be evil, he can change her as well. He then gifts her the Name Lash, unknowingly bequeathing her a small piece of his soul. This does change Lash slowly over a few days before she realizes as Harry is dying from a psychic attack he would rather die than accept the Coin. Realizing also that she has become truly distinct from her creator, she agrees to take the brunt of the mental attack to the region of the brain she lives in, knowing it could kill her. It does, but her sacrifice for the man she came to love would bring attention to Harry from others in Heaven]].
