Teflon Billy's comment in this thread got me thinking -
who is the most evil character you've read about/saw in a movie.
Forget Sauron and his in-the-background glowing eye! Saruman and his
charm-ing voice!
A character you read that was truly despicable, made you sick, got you angry, etc.
A character whose deeds were spelled out, not just "the Evil One" behind the
scenes. Villains who flayed the heroes' loved ones and made him watch.
Zorachus, from Mark E Rogers, for instance, was the answer my friend gave
to the most evil portrayal.
Without spoilers, I would say the antagonist from the Peter Hamilton Neutronium Alchemist
series would be a good candidate.
Or the stumped-antagonist in the Guy Gavriel Kay's Fioanvar tapestry.
Anyone who read/played the module "The Apocalypse Stone" -- there were encounters in
there that put warnings on --- "Only play if your characters are mature enough."
I'm looking for villains that would laugh at the spells in the Book of Vile Darkness.
Books that you had to put down for a second and collect your breath/psyche.
Any takers?
