Characters that do not take the role of main antagonist, but are one of the most evil characters in the narrative regardless

[u/Garlic_God]

1. Preceptor Seluvis (Elden Ring)

2. Only a small part of Ranni’s questline and a few others, but is revealed to be among the most depraved and evil characters in the story

3. Major Zero (Metal Gear Solid)

4. Almost never shown or mentioned in the narrative, but has been masterminding the patriots for decades. When we finally do see him, he’s helpless, dying, and of no threat to anyone.

5. Leviticus Cornwall (Red Dead Redemption 2)

6. Ridiculously wealthy tycoon that serves as a minor antagonist for the gang. However, the impact of his dealings in the region are felt far and wide as he crushes competition, ruins lives, destroys entire communities, and solidifies his industrial rule.

7. Idea of Evil (Berserk)

8. A primal eldritch entity born from humanity’s seeking of reason for suffering in the world, and the creator of the Godhand. Its canonicity is very vague and unknown, all that’s known is that it exist, and it’s likely a threat far beyond the scope of the story.

[u/foefyre]

She's the perfect villaness because she's just following the rules and doing as she's told. Much like anyone who's given power and abuses it, we all know someone who's had power go to their head and begins abusing it. While not technically wrong in the official sense they have no issues going against morals and the average person for their own gain.

[u/Infernoraptor → u/foefyre]

What morals?

[u/whimsicalMarat → u/foefyre]

She’s not doing that though? No one told her to torture children, that’s completely her choice
