This is a pretty good example, and its notable how Riddick does not fit in with society. He spends a very large portion of the movies he's in on the run, and when he does acquire a position of importance, loses it almost immediately because it both doesn't interest him and he doesn't know how to manage his subordinates. He even, to a very real extent, knows betrayal is coming, but it's simply not in his nature to take the steps to stop it. It's also notable that Riddick's universe is full of characters like him, but because they lack his level of personal bad***ery almost all of them are in prison or dead.

Chaotic neutral is, in many ways, the hardest alignment to survive as. Chaotic good individuals have friends, who will often go out of their way to say their butts when they commit some massive faux pas. Chaotic evil individuals are protected (at least for a time) by paranoia and intimidation. Chaotic neutral characters have none of this, and the alignment does more damage to itself than almost any other. D&D gets around this with the Slaadi by just having them spawn spontaneously, but that obviously doesn't work for humans.
