A former worshipper of the Scarlet Saint-—an embodiment of Hardestadt Delac--Ruthven orchestrates the grisly UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper murders to distract from his own feedings, while also harnessing the power of a City-beast named [[EldritchAbomination the Nocturne]] to enthrall more innocents to their doom. Ultimately seeking not to become a god but to create his own, Ruthven attempts to use a dark ritual to [[BodyHorror twist all of London's population into a writhing, agonized web of flesh]] through which he'll channel the energy to forcibly twist Hardestadt into the Scarlet Saint.

Seeking to turn the world into his very own Fourth Reich, Boehmer has hundreds of women raped to breed slag-beasts who die upon childbirth, while also [[WaterSourceTampering contaminating water supplies]] in numerous villages with a substance that causes the beasts to grow inside people. Planning to backstab Heydrich after serving him, Boehmer later on participates in Heydrich's plan to unleash a psychic bomb on Sicily, infecting Eliza's camp with the slag-beast substance, and personally murdering 378 soldiers with his own bare hands. Finally having enough, Boehmer is revealed to have infected every Jewish prisoner and every member of the German army with his substance, planning to infect the entire world, have billions murdered, and [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans rule over what's left]].

Zhaum later makes a deal with the wicked {{necromancer}} Nathaire to come astride on the Earth and glut itself upon the cities of the modern world, to fill the shrieking chorus within it and become as powerful as it can.

** ''Literature/EmptyMemoriesAndColdGraves'': Nyarlathotep [[BigBadDuumvirate teams up with the Consultant]] in order to break Hardestadt's spirit for fun. Capturing one of Eliza's students, Vicente, and [[TheCorrupter corrupting him into hating her]], Nyarlathotep would later bring about TheBlackDeath that resulted in the death of Hardestadt's lover, Maria. Massacring the town of Blatna with the below-mentioned Lucia, Nyarlathotep would either kill the town's inhabitants or send them to the Consultant to be tortured, sending Hardestadt to the City of Never to have him partake in a [[DeathCourse deadly maze]] to rescue Blatna citizens. Desiring to [[MindRape break her spirit as well]], Nyarlathotep takes Eliza to the graveyard of her fallen students while blaming her for their deaths; drives Eliza's mansion's servants to the brink of insanity; and paints Hardestadt as a monster who can't be controlled, before sending Vicente out to kill Eliza.

** ''Literature/EmptyMemoriesAndColdGraves'': Lucia first appears stalking Eliza's former apprentice Vincente, killing anyone who harbors him and blaming Vincente. In the 1700s, [[Literature/EmptyMemoriesAndColdGraves Lucia teams up with the aforementioned Nyarlathotep]] to break the spirits of Hardestadt and Eliza. In the City, the Consultant sics a creature known as the Scrambler, using it to form a hideous conglomeration of thousands of [[AndIMustScream still-living people]].

* [[AbusiveParents Siegfried Gunmarsohn]], introduced in ''Literature/UnderTheColdMoon'', is a brutal, red-furred werewolf who terrorized Soissons, Gévaudan, Chalons, and countless other areas with a slew of victims, with a particular sweet tooth for [[ChildEater children]], some of which he forces into sadistically lopsided battles to the death with himself as their opponent. Concerned only with [[TheSocialDarwinist his own notion of pure-blooded werewolves]] and seeking to put all humanity under his claw, Siegfried murdered his own mother, brother, and sister in succession over a course of centuries, and, during UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution, attempted to [[Literature/LeChevalier enact a scheme]] to turn hundreds of people into vicious, mindless lupine killers to drown Paris in blood. After his seeming end at the hands of Hardestadt, Siegfried gave himself over to Ithaqua at the prospect of vengeance, resurfacing decades later as the leader of a town called Pine Creek. Siegfried uses his position to select dozens of innocent people from the village as fodder for his hunts and as sacrifices to Ithaqua, and hands over more of them for vivisection and experimentation at the hands of Sieglinde Nomura. [[LackOfEmpathy Uncaring even to the deaths of his own children]]—which he's bred solely as CannonFodder for centuries after having murdered their mothers—Siegfried plans to raise up Ithaqua and freeze over the entire world, ruling over the remnants of humanity to cull and hunt them as his own leisure forever.
* The aforementioned [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Sieglinde Nomura]], also introduced in ''Cold Moon'', is [[DaddysLittleVillain Siegfried's daughter]] and a MadScientist who takes pleasure in [[PlayingWithSyringes experimenting on innocent people]]. Under Siegfried, Nomura experimented on hundreds of thousands of humans and werewolves alike in hopes of creating a horde of werewolves loyal to only Siegfried, or [[MindRape destroying their minds so they'll be easier to control]]. Those who perished were merely disposed of or eaten, and records of how long they lasted were recorded in various notebooks. Whenever Nomura isn't trying to perfect her serum, she's vivisecting innocent humans and slowly eating parts of their body alongside her father-—sometimes while [[AndIMustScream they're still alive]]—-or torturing humans she paralyzed just for the thrill of it. After Hardestadt and Erin Hasegawa are captured and Nomura finds out Erin escaped, Nomura willingly allows her to try and run away, all so she can take pleasure in hunting her down like a predator. [[Literature/LeChevalier Even after her death]], Nomura sets up a posthumous gambit to resurrect her father's old plan to make Paris devour itself through his mind-destroying serums, taking Grete's old comrade Frederick and another werewolf and [[FateWorseThanDeath warping their minds through year-long torture to make him believe they're Siegfried and Nomura]]. Ultimately, Grete concludes Nomura, despite being raised by Siegfried, would have turned out a monster regardless.
