Remorse Faker

villains who, before their defeats or deaths, express apparent remorse for their actions, plead for mercy or claim redemption. However, given the irredeemably nature of these kind of villains, their remorse or redemption isn't genuine at all and they just insist that it's real to trick the heroes or escape punishment for their crimes. Often, these Remorse Fakers are psychopaths or have similar tendencies to psychopaths, pretending to be remorseful or redeemed just to take advantage of their victims
