[General fantasy] Do Lawful Evil characters generally have more in common with Lawful Good characters or Chaotic Evil characters?

If put into a situation where they were forced to "team up" one way or the other how would they go?

Lawful characters by default would work better together, due to the shared nature of lawfulness. While transgressions would be better accepted by a CE character, otherwise cooperation would be hindered by their...*personal* interpretation of the cause.

For example, in Planescape there's an example in the form of the Mercykillers, who were formed by the merger of a LG faction with a LE faction. The result you get is rather clenched teeth and most certainly uncompromising, but essentially functional. The Mercykillers are extremely harsh and kill-happy, but also reliably consistent and follow their own rules even when they don't like it. Hanging judges to a man, but as much judge as they are hanging, and won't slaughter you in the streets until they have proof of your crimes.

Compare this to the best known interaction of LE and CE, which is the Blood War.
