I think that may depend on who you're calling villains in the real world. Your typical serial killer, if I recall correctly, is usually single.
We seem to have plenty of married serial killers in the UK, like Fred & Rose West.

Is it just me, or does it seem that villains rarely if ever have families? And when they do, usually their children are full grown and serve as underlings of the villain or allies of the players. I mean, in the real world, almost all villains have spouses (sometimes more than one; maybe polygamy and D&D could be a forked thread) and children...
This is something that just struck me when I was trying to think up an idea for an example villain for a sort of 101 Strong Female Characters thread. I have become more of a Pathfinder person, so I was thinking of a female human cavalier in her early or mid thirties, with young or youngish children, between maybe 8 and 17, as a starting point.
And to ask the obligatory paladin question: should a paladin avoid killing a parent in front of their young child(ren) if possible?

I wonder if Sauron's third cousin made costume jewelry.
*shrug* I speak only of my understanding of the general profile. Not to say that married ones don't exist, but they are, as I understand it, typically rare.
