Abdiel from To Reign in Hell by Steven Brust would make this list. A modern take on Paradise Lost, To Reign in Hell is basically a story of the rebellion in Heaven. Yet, it starts because Abdiel is selfish and afraid and performs acts to get what he wants only to start a rebellion. Satan is completely oblivious to the rebellion for most the novel, then is thrown in at the end.

wheres nurse ratchet from “….cuckoo’s nest” – ken kesey? i think daniel quilp from old curiosity shop is viler than bill sykes. sykes is nasty but in a quite straight-forward way wheras quilp is more actively sadistic. voldermort maybe worth a consideration.

These 3 would make my list. If I had a list of course.

From Dune:

The Baron Harkonnen and the Tleilaxu. The vilest of the vile.

And Saurons mentor, Melkor of course. He did not play well with others.

How is it that Judge Holden from Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is not included on this list? He is not only the greatest villain, but also the one of the greatest overall characters devised in the last century.

Did you see the Cracked.com list of most beloved characters with mental illnesses? They diagnose Glinda with Sadistic Personality Disorder. Even if you’d never considered Wicked, it’d still make sense.

I also really can’t care about the Wizard of Oz. He’s lying about being magic, who knows what else he’s done? He’s a terrible ruler, and for all we know the Munchkins are really evil and Glinda is Satan. It’s like that episode of South Park with the woodland creatures. Just because they’re attractive doesn’t mean their all good. Or, as TVTropes would say “Dark is not bad, Light is not good”.
