One-line villains

Fortunately for the cute little orphan girl, she was rescued and thereafter protected by the PC wizardess, which enabled this truly polymorphed succubus to wreak havoc in the vicinity of the PCs at near total leisure and unnoticed.

An injured warrior past the prime of his life, he calls in old debts to gather about him the children of his old allies and enemies; they will be his secret army, the hand that shall seek vengeance for past defeats.

He is an enemy to all that he once held dear, a priest and a believer who now pretends to faith as he feeds upon his gullible flocks, extending the grim parody of life that he now leads even as he turns the strongest of them to his dark purposes.

Legion, (t)he(y) has/have escaped the fires of hell, knocking at the weakened doors of men's hearts - twisting the sacred words of the holy one who defeated him millenia before into endorsements of the crimes he would have them do.
 

Driven past madness by the demon he called into his heart in a moment of weakness, he finds joy and strange respite in the brutal deaths of those who seek refuge in his roadside inn.

The demon must be fed, else it will consume him.
 

All that made him human has been driven from him; he lives now to serve his master's dark will - a clever slave of a twisted, broken friendship.
 

Note to self: when playing in The Universe's campaign, be very afraid.

Here is a villain I used waaaaaaay back in the days of 1e AD&D:

A former cleric turned Death Master with a sick fascination for dead bodies and an unwholesome attraction to female elves and half-elves. [ So yeah, it was an R-rated campaign... but we all need to get those out of system at some point. ]
 

Doc Avery, the creator of the Pegasus Project that doomed superhero and human alike to total destruction through his own miscalculations. (HERO system)

D.K., hip skeleton in a white suit who can turn anything to dust with a touch. (Marvel/DC/HERO)

Skelhorne Forest, infused with the lifeblood of slaughtered druids and now vowed for revenge. (Rolemaster)

The Caller Within - Elder God who rips the fears and dreams from the very souls of those who seek him. (Call of Cthulhu/Space Master- yes, really)

heh heh heh - who's your GM? I'll call him up and start feeding him ideas. ;)
 

Men are little more than cattle to be herded, slaughtered, and fed upon as their master desires - he is a king in a lordless land; history will dance as he pulls its strings.
