For me, it would be GLaDOS.

She deleted the one remaining human part of herself because it was just too much to deal with. She releases you at the end of Portal 2 as a path of least resistance measure because "killing you is hard."

It's actually why I listed the James Bond villain Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies because he was an analogue for Murdoch, a media magnate who wanted to control the world through disinformation. It was a prescient character, because that was still during 1997, long before FOX News had become the danger it actually is. Yet Carver is pretty on-the-nose for what actually ended up happening and we didn't have a James Bond to save us.
I think Carver was a mixture of Murdoch and Maxwell. He certainly received Maxwells death.
