* "In My Protection": [[WouldHurtAChild Carmichael]], [[TheFagin the adult leader of a gang of child criminals]], directs his gang in carrying out robbery, murder, and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]], then gives them [[TattooedCrook tattoos]] as "trophies". After one of his boys, Thomas Gower, brutally murdered [[WouldHarmASenior an elderly man]] on his orders, Carmichael sends his gang to break him out, personally beating Mr. Eagles to death. After Captain Homer Jackson and Susan Hart investigate him, Carmichael holds both of them hostage, only letting them go so they can lead him to Gower, before [[BurnTheOrphanage leading an attack on the orphanage]] in an attempt to eliminate the evidence against him. Always smoking a pipe before committing crimes and giving himself "trophies" for them, Carmichael was a crime lord who took pleasure in his work.
* "The King Came Calling": [[MasterPoisoner Claxton]] is the manager of a Whitechapel bakery, where he uses his position to [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink contaminate the bread with lethal poison]] before distributing them to the commonwealth. This was done in a manner that would looked like an outbreak of cholera, and results in dozens of deaths of men, women, and children in a matter of days, with Detective Reid's wife Emily nearly another victim. When Reid finally captures Claxton and ask him why he did all this, Claxton's response was that Jack [[AttentionWhore took attention he felt was deservedly his]] and by killing many people, even bragging of tripling The Ripper's total, he would finally [[FameThroughInfamy regain all that fame]].

* "Your Father My Friend": [[TeensAreMonsters Harry Ward]] is a teenage pimp of young girls. Making a business of kidnapping girls, Harry would pimp them out to be raped by groups of [[DirtyOldMan older men]], having made a good living off of this. After finding Inspector Reid's daughter Mathilda on the streets, Harry feigned kindness to her in order to lure her back to his base where he would [[AttemptedRape try to rape her himself]] before planning on [[HumanTraffickers selling her]] to be gang-raped by a group of men. Despite his young age, Harry Ward is one of the worst criminals lurking the streets of Whitechapel.

->''"That man...[[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper the Ripper]]! His brutality. How many? Seven? At most? And his name all set to haunt this city for thousand years. I have already tripled his score. Think how long they'll talk of me!"''

[[Series/RipperStreet Whitechapel]] has faced many villains in the wake of UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper's rampage. Even in this WretchedHive, some characters stand out as [[CompleteMonster particularly monstrous]].

* "In My Protection": Carmichael

* "Your Father, My Friend": Harry Ward

* "Dynamite and a Woman": [[MadScientist Dr. Charles Broadwick]], despite knowing how unstable and dangerous direct current is compared to alternating current, wants to have the entire city of London use the former, just so he could profit off of it, completely uncaring how many people could get killed because of these currents. In an effort to hide the truth from the public, he frees [[MadBomber Aiden Galvin]], while killing the police officer transporting him. He then has Galvin plant a bomb at one of his colleague's room, before framing [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishRevolution the Irish Republican Brotherhood]] for this. Once this succeeds, Broadwick send him to place a bomb at Whitechapel University, where all of his colleagues will be in one place for him to kill. It was also revealed that this was not only time Broadwick collaborated with Galvin, as he did so a couple years ago where he had 12 innocent people killed, then pinned all the blame on his cohort, while he walked free. While Galvin has [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes a daughter whom he genuinely cares for]], Broadwick has no such qualities, and is solely defined by his {{Greed}}, which to satisfy he has killed many and would kill many more.

* "Some Conscience Lost": [[WouldHurtAChild Cornelius Wilde]], Director of Whitechapel Hospital, [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly cares about sick children and tries to cure them of their illnesses]]. In reality, he [[SickbedSlaying kills them]] using poison, resulting in excruciating and painful deaths before [[BodyInABreadbox hid their bodies under the floors of the lodging house]]. Poisoning children for two months, Wilde tries to cover up his crime by accusing the mother of one of the children he killed as being crazy, and when Inspector Reed confronts him about his atrocities, Wilde tries to justify himself by claiming that the children he killed were "useless" for society anyway and that he simply accelerated their "pathetic" lives. [[LazyBum Having taken the lives of countless children, due to not wanting to spend money and effort on them]], Wilde takes laziness to a truly monstrous level.

* "Some Conscience Lost": [[WouldHurtAChild Cornelius Wilde]] is the director of a hospital in Whitechapel that supposedly takes care of ill children and cures them of their diseases. In truth, however, he [[SickbedSlaying has them killed]], either by lethal injection or suffocation before [[BodyInABreadbox hiding their bodies under the hospital floors]]. He has done this ever since the Ripper's killing spree, only being caught now when a patient of his escaped the facility and survived long enough for Detective Reid to spot him before he dies from his uncared-for illness. When Reid arrives at the hospital and has the floors removed he see corpses of numerous children, and confronts Wilde about this, the latter [[NeverMyFault refuses to own up to any of his wrongdoings]], even saying it was the childrens' fault they were sick in the first place, and that [[LazyBum he cannot be bothered to cure them]], much to the detective's fury.

[[Series/RipperStreet Whitechapel]] has faced many villains in the wake of UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper's rampage. Even in this WretchedHive some characters stand out as [[CompleteMonster particularly monstrous]].

''Series/RipperStreet'', taking place soon after the rampage of UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, shows that he wasn't the only [[CompleteMonster monster]] lurking in the streets of Whitechapel.

* "I Need Light": [[AristocratsAreEvil Sir Arthur Donaldson]] first shows up mere months after Jack's rampage, yet manages to be a depraved monster in his own right. He was a SerialRapist who abducted women by drugging them, then he would take them to a secret location where he would rape them before [[SerialKiller strangling them to death]]. Next, to remove suspicion from himself, he would mutilate them so they would appear to be new victims of Jack. His monstrous nature also extends to his lone servant, whom he would force to [[SnuffFilm film him commit his atrocities]] all so he could watch them in his spare time. The abuse that Donaldson gave to his servant was so bad that the servant eventually [[DrivenToSuicide killed himself]]. In the end, while Donaldson was only the first felon Detective Inspector Edmund Reid encountered since his search for The Ripper, it was this case that convinces Reid to let go of his pursuit, so he can find other criminals lurking in the streets of Whitechapel.

* "What Use Our Work?": [[AristocratsAreEvil Sir Victor Silver]] may [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon look like a gentle man, but in truth he is anything but]]. Long ago, he was suspected of being Jack, but the issue was dropped when he thought to have died in a boat accident. However, he managed to survive, and continued his business in kidnapping women and having them shipped to South America as {{sex slave}}s, using his [[FauxAffablyEvil superficial charm]] to gain their trust before luring them to his family's estate, where he would shackle them to a bed for days before drugging them and locking them in small boxes to be sent overseas. Overall, while only just one of many Ripper suspects, he was evil enough to match Jack's himself.

* "Dynamite and a Woman": [[MadScientist Dr. Charles Broadwick]] despite knowing how unstable and dangerous direct current is compared to alternating current, wants to have the entire city of London use the former, just so he could profit off of it, completely uncaring how many people could get killed because of these currents. In an effort to hide the truth from the public, he frees [[MadBomber Aiden Galvin]], while killing the police officer transporting him. He then has Galvin plant a bomb at one of his colleague's room, before framing [[UsefulNotes/TheIrishRevolution the Irish Republican Brotherhood]] for this. Once this succeeds, Broadwick send him to place a bomb at Whitechapel University, where all of his colleagues will be in one place for him to kill. It was also revealed that this was not only time Broadwick collaborated with Galvin, as he did so a couple years ago where he had 12 innocent people killed, then pinned all the blame on his cohort, while he walked free. While Galvin has [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes a daughter whom he genuinely cares for]], Broadwick has no such qualities, and is solely define by his {{Greed}}, which to satisfy he has killed many and would kill many more.
* "A Stronger Loving World": [[HolierThanThou Gabriel Cain]] was a member of the [[TheOrder Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], before he was kicked out for his radical beliefs that the world is corrupt. He then formed a cult solely based around his ideology. He [[TheCorrupter brainwashes all of his followers]] to carry out {{suicide attack}}s to spite those whom he believed had wronged him. These tactics included having one of them to burn himself alive in a Catholic Church full of innocents, framing the Hebrews of Whitechapel for it; to having another slit his own throat in front of the detectives investigating him. He also has [[DaddysLittleVillain his daughter]], Bella, marry Detective Inspector Drake Bennet, so that he could recruit him into the cult in the near future. When Drake discovers the cult as well as the revelation that Cain had manipulated Bella, his own daughter, into have sex with him to [[RoyalInbreeding impregnate her with his child]], Cain captures him and attempts to have him as well all of his followers--[[OffingTheOffspring including Bella]]--die by drinking poisoned wine as a way to destroy the evidence against him, at which point he could form another cult in hiding. Ultimately, his depraved acts prove that Cain himself [[{{Hypocrite}} is just as morally corrupt]], if not more so, as the world he is claiming to be fighting against.

* [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Ronald Capshaw]], the head of Obsidian Estates, serves as the ArcVillain of the season's first half, where he, along with co-conspirator Susan Hart, organize a plan to rob the latter's father of his [[TrainJob cargo train, carrying $350,000 in unclaimed bearer bonds]]. The plot worked but resulted in an accident killing 55 innocents, with Capshaw [[LackOfEmpathy only concerned if he could profit from this travesty or if he might get caught]]. He has his accomplices meet him in a warehouse, only to betray them, only keeping Hart because she is useful. When hearing of Edmund Reid still investigating the incident, Capshaw finds out about [[LongLostRelative Reid's long-lost daughter, Mathilda]], goes to her location, kills one of her caretakers, and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates Reid]] into killing the other caretaker by lying that they killed her, when the truth is that he'd kidnapped her. He also tries to [[WouldHurtAChild kill Mathilda himself]], only for Hart to intervene and try to send her away from Whitechapel, only for her to escape from both of them. Furious, Capshaw sends his men to find and kill her while he threatens to expose Hart's part in the train incident if she ever disobeys him again. Through this blackmail he forces Hart to attempt to kill Reid. While Susan Hart had plans to [[WellIntentionedExtremist use the stolen money to gentrify Whitechapel]] and was [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone morally appalled on what she had done]], Ronald Capshaw had no such reason or remorse for any of his actions and was just a greedy sociopath more than happy to cause the deaths and misery of many if [[ItsAllAboutMe he could benefit from it all]].
