*Darth Bane from ''Literature/DarthBane''. His victory is what ultimately leads to the rise of Darth Sidious and the entire Skywalker Saga playing out, so it would already be easy to root for him...but he does so with such style, power, intellect, and brutality that he's surprisingly engaging.----

** The (extremely fangirled) [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white haired]] Pollution is VERY MUCH Evil Is Cool. And [[EvilIsSexy hot]].

** Barty Crouch Jr, as well. Thanks to how [[TheChessmaster intelligent]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] he is, up to the point where he actually [[TheBadGuyWins succeeds in bringing Voldemort back to full power]], it's no surprise that Barty Crouch Jr. is hit with this.

* The Cenobites from ''Literature/TheHellboundHeart''. The Cenobites are the most famous examples in Barker's oeuvre, being horrible S&M demons who nonetheless come across as WickedCultured and pull an awesome VillainousRescue at the end.

** General Ironbeak from ''Mattimeo'' is the fiercest fighter in all the northlands, and [[CleverCrows also incredibly clever]]. To the point that of all Redwall villains, he’s come the closest to capturing the abbey. Wayne Best’s performance for him in the TV series is particularly memorable.



** General Ironbeak also from ''Mattimeo'' is the fiercest fighter in all the northlands, and also incredibly clever. To the point that of all Redwall villains, he’s come the closest to capturing the abbey.

** Pathruushkè is pretty cool. He's an [[LeanAndMean emaciated]] black-skinned demon [[PurpleIsPowerful who wears a purple robe]] and wields a MagicStaff that has [[HellIsThatNoise voices coming from it]].

* ''Literature/{{Nevermoor}}'': Ezra Squall is a murderous psychopath, but he's incredibly intelligent, is self-aware, has supernatural powers that make him virtually undefeatable in a straight fight, and displays a level of HiddenDepths and [[VillainHasAPoint nuance]] that elevates him above the average CardCarryingVillain. He's also an expert at playing the long game and [[ManipulativeBastard making virtually any situation work for him]]. Many fans LoveToHate him, while others simply love him, but either way, he's easily one of the more popular and most talked-about characters in the books.

to:

* ''Literature/TreasureIsland'': Long John Silver is one of the most iconic villains in literature and is well-known for his [[LovableRogue charisma]] and [[AffablyEvil amiable personality]]. A good deal of the book hypes up how cool, intelligent, and badass Silver is, even in comparison to the heroes we’re allegedly supposed to be rooting for, and he [[KarmaHoudini gets away with everything at the end]]. It's been speculated that Robert Louis Stevenson may have deliberately invoked this both with Silver and Blind Pew, as he himself was a physically frail man, so he may have had some inspiration to create villains who were a threat in spite of their impairments.
