Loyal

Villains who show loyalty to another individual. Typically, they protect or at least they have some level of respect for the person they're loyal to as well. As such loyalty can also be presented by leaders who genuinely care or are in good in terms for/with their subordinates (Kaido).

They are truly loyal to another character without expecting something in return (e.g Doctor Poison, Teru Mikami, Gigantomachia, Shockwave, Hun, Esdeath, V.V., Sugar, Vaneé, Megatron, Bellatrix Lestrange, Melascula, Jinx, Ramón Salazar and Gurney).

NOTE: Near Pure Evils who are "loyal" to those they serve out of mere fanaticism, perversion, obligation, sadism or pragmatism do not qualify as they do not truly care nor have any type of respect for them (e.g Snively, Adam, Nicholai Ginovaef, Rob Lucci, Jack Anders, Kyosuke Higuchi, Olivia Octavius and The Lich). These Near Pure Evils should be added to other categories instead like Fanatics, Pawns, Minions, Sadists, Opportunists or Liars.

For obvious reasons, all villains under this category should be under Protective and Honorable categories. On the other hand, these two categories don't count as separate redeeming qualities from loyalty to another individual, unless the character is honorable or protective in other ways aside from their loyalty.

These villains also usually fall under the Lawful Evil alignment, especially if their loyalty to a cause or another villain is their main motivation.
