[[RapePillageAndBurn Leaving countless settlements in flames]], Memnon would have all within slaughtered, even if they surrendered. [[VillainousCrush Developing an unhealthy obsession]] with Cassandra, Memnon intends to take her for himself when his acts of conquest are complete. When Mathayus attempts to assassinate him, Memnon [[ForcedToWatch forces him to watch]] as he slits Mathayus's brother's throat and leaves him to be devoured by killer ants. With Mathayus escaping with Cassandra, Memnon intends on having his armies wipe out the remaining tribes to claim Cassandra for himself and impose the "order" he craves.
* ''Rise of a Warrior'': [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Sargon]], king of Akkad, uses black magic to kill Mathayus's father with scorpions, and then [[EvilOverlord runs a horrific regime]] where people are killed just for speech he dislikes. When [[AntiHero Mathayus]] infiltrates his guard to kill him, Sargon tries to force Mathayus to kill his own brother Noah to test his loyalty and uses BlackMagic to kill Noah when Mathayus refuses. Seeking more dark power from the goddess [[GreaterScopeVillain Astarte]], Sargon attempts to massacre all of Akkad by burning the people alive while he attempts to kill Mathayus personally.
* ''Battle for Redemption'': [[SmugSnake Talus]] is the [[CainAndAbel wicked, cruel brother]] of King Horus who seeks the Book of the Dead to make an army big enough to invade his brother's kingdom.

Talus rips off the ear of an officer, then [[ShootTheMessenger kills a messenger for bringing him bad news]]. During his invasion of King Remusan's castle, Talus uses a catapult to burn enemy soldiers alive on the battlefield then badly injuries the king himself to the point of him dying of his wounds. Talus would summon undead warriors with the Book of the Dead and has them [[BadBoss kill his own soldiers]] to demonstrate their powers before ordering them to mercilessly kill all of the refugees and Silda's clan.

Intending on finding Mathayus to wipe out the last Akkadian, Nebserek orders Amina, the Book of Souls, burnt alive while he intends to make sport of Mathayus before claiming his soul as well, all in revenge for the Akkadians having forced the God-King to have once "lived as a jackal".
