3 On number we have a villain who is known by many names such as You-know-who, He-who-must-not-be-named or the Dark Lord by those who are is followers. But is mostly known in the Harry Potter Series that is by J.K Rowling as Lord Voldemort (but his actual name is Tom Marvolo Riddle but he dropped it due that he didn’t want to be known by his dirty muggle father's name). This dark wizard is regarded in Britain as the greatest wizard of all times and he could have been if it wasn’t for a certain green-eyed boy with a lightning scar. Anyway when Voldemort was young he was known as Tom Riddle an orphan boy who was incredibly skilled in magic at a young age and who had a angelic appearance but was a complete monster inside. But that is to be expected considering he is a complete psychopath. But now as an adult his darkness is showed in his appearance like his gray skin, skull-like face, red eyes that are snake-like. Not exactly the handsomest villain alive but one of the most heartless of all.
2 Now this villain didn’t seem like a villain until the end because his appearance was when he was called upon by the heroes to solve a monster-problem only to discover that he isn't any better than the monsters. Jack Kearns (if that is his real name) is the antagonist of the series Monstrumologist by Rick Yancy. He is incredibly charming and witty and quite well-versed in traveling and so very handsome. He typically rants off time to time talking about morality and is well known for his profession as a monster hunter. In fact in the beginning he was called in to exterminate a herd of cannibalistic anthropophagi. It turns out that he was very similar to these monsters he hunt for which he has no laws or ethical policy and might as well be mad. In later of the book we discover that when he doesn’t hunt for monsters for fun he goes hunting for humans and the heroes learn that he was actually Jack the Ripper.
1 My number one is someone that wasn’t really explained in the book. In fact most of the time he was the good guy until our hero discovered that he was actually tricking them and was the bad guy. O'Brian from the novel 1984 by George Orwell. The reason why I chose him was because I had absolutely know idea he was actually evil and the fact that he wasn’t defeated like all the others on this list. He won in the end but at the same time didn’t for he too at the beginning was very much like our hero until caught and tortured into passivity and acceptance of the party. So in a way he isn't just a villain but also a victim and that is probably why I don’t really hate him so much like I would normally do for many antagonist that I read but instead I sympathies with him.
