Spoiler for like, any book existing.
I think mine has to be the villain in Mirror Man. Idk, he wasn’t intimidating, he wasn’t interesting. He was meh.
Also the villains from The Chain. Dear God they weren’t sympathetic in the slightest. The book tries to act like they were atleast pitiful but FROM THEIR INCEPTION, they were just evil assholes who enjoyed causing pain. The book itself wasn’t all that great anyways.
Shout out to my mans Toriel Saddeas. Man was willing to sacrifice the entire human race just for the sake of his own political power. >! When he revealed his big scheme and Adolin just wastes him, I had to cheer. Some guys you can’t bother with. !<
I’d say Straff and Sadeas are on different planes of evil. The kind of power grabbing and short sided evil Sadeas is very common. Straff on the other hand is a massive sadist who enjoys torment and torture for its own sake. For all that he’s a snake Sadeas never really does anything out of pure malice, it’s just good politics in his head.
Oathbringer: >!When his body is found and someone (Sebarial’s mistress?) calls it a solved problem, I just had to laugh. Because they were absolutely right.!<
