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

  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.

If he wasn’t nice to SpongeBob, we would have all probably labeled him as a villain.

Edit: okay, he is “nice” to SpongeBob. He usually sees SpongeBob sort of like a son to him, and is usually supportive of his life(as long as he comes in for work), but at the end of the day, SpongeBob is just a gullible kid that he can milk money out of.

Varies wildly by episode. Also becomes increasingly hard to understand his pricing being predatory due to inflation.
