** [[MasterOfDisguise The Dancing Joker]], aka "Noble Thayer", is the most famous alias of the Inner Sphere's most skilled and sought-after [[ProfessionalKiller virtuoso assassin]]. He first makes a splash by killing Melissa Steiner with a bomb that wounds and maims many others including Morgan Kell, and kills many more, including Morgan's wife Salome. He later sets up shop on Zurich, where he takes up the Dancing Joker nickname as he leads an insurgency against [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny Xu Ning's Capellan-backed government]] during the Chaos March debacle. Dancing Joker sets up his lover, Cathy Hanney, to be captured and tortured for information by Xu Ning's forces as just another step in his plan to topple the regime, because he figures "overthrow planetary government" looks good on a resume. Against all the [[WarIsHell horrors of war]] seen in the ''[=BattleTech=]'' universe, [[PsychoForHire the Dancing Joker]] still manages to stand out for the sheer depth of his utter lack of any human emotion or morality, even if he's incredibly good at faking those things.

** UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory is a dark stain on vampire history, commonly regarded by SAVE as the evilest vampire they've ever dealt with. Báthory, introduced to the occult and vampirism at a young age, quickly embraced the ways of evil, beginning to torture servant girls and force her servants to help in the crimes. After realizing that blood rejuvenates her life force, Báthory lured in countless young women to work at her castle, only to imprison them to be tortured and slashed open so that Báthory could [[BloodBath drain their blood into large baths for her to soak in]], inevitably [[SerialKiller killing the young girls]]. Báthory orchestrated her servants to take the fall for her crimes after she was exposed for murdering at least 50 women--with SAVE estimating the number to actual be in the hundreds--and went on to continue her atrocities in secret, killing at least 3 women a week for decades to [[ImmortalityImmorality sustain her youth]] while [[ForTheEvulz amusing herself in her downtime]] by torturing male artists due to a hatred for art itself.

* ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'': [[TheCaligula Hantei XVI]], known as Otomo Okucheo before his ascension and also known as the Steel Chrysanthemum, is the most violent and tyrannical Emperor that Rokugan ever had. He was [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] even as a [[EnfantTerrible young child]], when he [[CainAndAbel arranged for the murder of his brother]] to prevent him from being made Emperor. His atrocities ranged from the disastrously grand, such as creating a SecretPolice force to hunt down traitors and political dissidents; to the [[EvilIsPetty disturbingly petty]], such as torturing a woman to death for protesting his widespread use of torture, and then naming her as a minor goddess of torture. He ruined a political opponent's reputation and career, just so he could claim the man's daughter as a concubine. When that daughter refused to bear Hantei XVI a child, he had her imprisoned in her own room and [[BreedingSlave forced the matter]]. The final straw, however, was [[{{Matricide}} ordering the execution of his own mother]], because she dared to protest him killing all of his siblings so they couldn't contest his claim to the throne. This final act was enough to make his entire guard, horrified by what he had done, turn on him, assassinating him in spite of the fact that they would all need to commit seppuku afterwards. BackFromTheDead more than 500 years later, Hantei engineered the 12-year-long War of Spirits in order to try taking back the throne. After the War, as one of the conditions of the treaty, Hantei [[SadistTeacher tutors]] the son of an opponent. Planning to attack his student in order to cause the treaty to be broken and war to break out again, Hantei, while beating this student, is killed by his own fiancée, who has grown to care for this student.

* ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'': Spite originally started out as Jack "Maniac Jack" Donovan, a petty delinquent and minor member of [[ArchEnemy the Wraith]]'s street-level RoguesGallery in Rook City. After getting stopped by the Wraith one too many times, he became a SerialKiller, and after finding out the Wraith's secret identity, he dropped her two best friends off a skyscraper in front of her. After finally being captured, he avoided execution by agreeing to [[PsychoSerum secret drug testing]]. When the drugs granted him SuperStrength and other abilities, he broke out of prison and went back to his murderous ways, while also using any drugs he could get his hands on to fuel his new addictions. His villain card deck reflects all this by often forcing the players to make {{sadistic choice}}s between saving victims or themselves, and his potential victims include a teenage wanna-be sidekick, an innocent priest in a soup kitchen, and a trusting [[WouldHurtAChild little girl]]. Even the heroes deciding to just kill him this time didn't faze him, as when a demon god offered him a chance to be resurrected in exchange for killing lots and lots of people to spread enough fear and misery to allow the demon god to be summoned to our reality, Spite saw it as a win-win sucker's bet where he got to live again--even though resurrection is normally a very unpleasant occurrence in this universe--in exchange for doing the mayhem he wanted to do anyway. While nowhere near as powerful as other beings in the universe, Spite is as bad as it gets for a street-level villain.
