We have heard about them: Lazy, incompetent, always passing the buck and more than willing to accept a bribe to "speed things up". This character type exists somewhere in the overlap between Punch Clock Villains and Obstructive Bureaucrats. And are only lazy and incompetent up to the point that it prevents them from getting any work done, however, when someone or something threatens their position or privileges, they forget everything about laziness and incompetence and become relentless in abusing their power, as they would not be above committing murder itself, of crossing the Moral Event Horizon. This can also happen if they have the object of their ambition within grasp.

This can also happen if they have the object of their ambition within grasp. This type of villain usually does not belong to the aristocracy or gets his power from money or businesses, instead his power comes from a position on the government (usually obtained through personal favors rather than merits and/or hard work). In some variants, he will accept a bribe in order to illegally hasten things or do other "favors." Examples of Corrupt Bureaucrat include:
