** Josette [=DuPres=], whose suicide resulted from Angelique's machinations. One of Barnabas' primary motivations through much of the series is to prevent her death or to bring her back to life. An unusual example, as Josette's death serves as the motivation for Barnabas' more selfish actions, including kidnappping and attempting to brainwash Maggie, and, even after his HeelFaceTurn, attempting to brainwash other women into becoming Josette.
** A better example is Roxanne from Parallel Time, with whom Barnabas falls in love, finally able to get over Josette. Unfortunately, as Barnabas, Julia, and Roxanne are escaping into the main universe, the room that serves as the gateway between universes changes, with only Barnabas and Julia inside and Roxanne trapped in a burning Collinwood. Barnabas subsequently finds that Roxanne has a counterpart in the main universe. Too bad she's a vampire, and not the friendly neighborhood variety either. In 1840, Barnabas' attempts to prevent Roxanne from becoming a vampire fail, and she is ultimately killed via exposure to sunlight.

** Nicholas Blair fills this role twice, but in an unusual way. On both occasions he's sent by a GreaterScopeVillain to bring an existing BigBad in line when the existing villain's personal desires are getting in the way of their mission. This makes him arguably the most dangerous of all DS BigBads, because he rarely, if ever, let's personal vendettas interfere with his larger plan.
*** During the Adam storyline it's not totally clear what Angelique's goal was supposed to be, or if Diabolos was just sick of her wasting time and supernatural resources on the Collins family because she was still mad about events that happened the better part of two centuries earlier, but Nicholas Blair very quickly takes over her role, and eventually settles on [[spoiler: discovering the secret of Adam's creation]] as the best use of their time.
