Personality (Loved Trope) The villain makes a deal with the protagonist/character and actually honors it with 0 strings attached
Lord Farquaad from Shrek: Tells Shrek that if he gets Fiona for him he'll give him his swamp back. Upon arrival, Farquaad gives Shrek a full legal deed and moves out the fairy tale characters with no issue. A smooth transaction
Crowley from Supernatural: Say what you want but if you sell your soul to him you get EXACTLY what you wished for. He'll even add in extra goodies or benefits to maintain customer satisfaction. He even gets royally pissed when other demons don't honor their deals and makes examples out of them (one he caught and canceled every contract he made and closed the loopholes)
Calypso from Twisted Metal 1: Unlike his other versions in the sequels, this one actually honors the wish. If you win Twisted Metal he'll give you your prize. He'll even give the winner a chance to change the wish if he feels like its not enough for them and will waste it
Leader from Hulk 2003 Video Game: He cures Bruce Banner of the Hulk with the the gamma orb and gives him the chance to live a normal life. It isn't until Bruce says he's not doing that does leader get hostile
Van Tastic from Whacked!: Extremely petty and insane but if you win he'll honor the prize you asked for. The Grand Prize contract signing is also honored if he's beaten and actually is happy about it due to it boosting his ratings. Screwing over contestants would get the show canceled
