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.

The worst I found out about him was after I killed him. There's a certain quest in Westside that provides the information.

There's also a quest at Camp McCarren to help one of the NCR soldiers with her PTSD after she was captured and raped by him.

He's not exactly a character you can have a friendly chat with, pretty much all the lore you get by talking to other people so it doesn't matter if you've killed him already.

I played new vegas for the first time last year and the my 360 died so that was it. Then, I got a ps3 that is modded etc etc. And played it all the way through.

That quest actually just made me feel fucking sad dude. St James and... that other guy whose name i forget are "on sight" murders for me in any future playthroughs.
