[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 65461, member: 317"] My most memorable villain(s) would be from a 2nd Edition campaign I ran a few years ago. Haven't had as much time since 3E came out to game, although I'm working on a real bugger right now. 1) A human barbarian fighter who they met and defeated in the 1st adventure named Karon. They thought he was dead when in fact he was the servant of a powerful shaman- his spirit fled his body at the time of his "death" and lingered in the spirit world for a while during the time his body mended, then when his body was whole, he was shoved back into his body and started up his nefarious actions again. He was a source of trouble and fear to the PCs from levels 1-9 or so, until he rebelled against his master and became an ally of the PCs. They loved to hate him, and later thought it was really cool he became an ally (although he never turned "good"). 2) A diabolic wizard named Albrenax (mage 13+) who recieved his powers from an arch-devil. This devil and Albrenax had worked out a mutually beneficial relationship where the devil granted Albrenax unusally long life for a human (350+years) in exchange for Albrenax working to pave the way for his infernal masters on the game world. Although they never fought him in 70+ adventures, he was a source of fear whenever he showed up (even one surreal moment when he ate dinner with them at an inn, warning them of an ambush against them). Albrenax also had a thing for the female human wizard in the group (thinking she was a reincarnation of his wife), but nothing ever happened with that (she wasn't the reincarnation). By the time the campaign ended, they never had tried to confront him, partly because they never were sure what he was up to (he worked in very subtle ways), and partly because they had a bad feeling that if they did kill him, someone worse would have taken his place (which was true- a cambion demon was chomping at the bit to have Albrenax killed so he could do his stuff).
