I'd say i have two fav villains of ALL time. First and best is - Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game, who puts the hero on a battle of wits and survival on an abandoned island. Zaroff is also a Russian Cossack (Cavalry officer), and an expert hunter. Simply a great short story. Second would be - Colonel William Tavington from the movie The Patriot, a ruthless and brilliant Green Dragoon who nearly kills the heroes entire family without regret and uses his brutal tactics against the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Both are awesome
Oh yes, R.A Salvatore's Drizzt series is so intense, I have replicas of Icingdeath and Twinkle! (Hope that doesn't sound too nerdy). If you ever play the game Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2, you can play as Artemis or Drizzt. Best feeling EVER. I put my money on Artemis if they ever get into a To-the-death fight
Agreed on that one, definitely an awesome plot ending how the hero himself completes the seven deadly sins.. phew that was a hell of a plot ending.
I guess my favourite villian would have to be the teenage boy-molesting schemer, Baron Vladimir Harkonen from Dune.
Golum. He was such a multi-fascited (sp?) character. He was not pure evil, he was taken over by something so sickly evil. Its like all the human complexities of a scitzophrenic child in one creature.
Movie - Hannibal Lector, The Silence of the Lambs Book - Patrick Bateman, American Psycho Video Game - Revolver Ocelot, Metal Gear Solid series
