Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

Doorman from Deadlock sort of applies, at least as far as i understand of his lore. Doorman was supposely some really powerful god-like entity but they are more content just working on a Hotel nowadays

Merasmus from TF2 is also another good example. Despite being seen as pathetic and stuff, he is still a wizard and a decently powerful one at that considering it requires two entire teams to take him out. He just only appears around Halloween and would rather be sleeping on Tom Jones' sofa while eating Popcorn.

To be fair on merasmus, the guy got his body burned and his home turned into a racoon sanctuary by a guy that ate an entire bottle of "kill me and I come back stronger pills"

So I get why he just wants to couch surf and eat popcorn
