History YMMV / Department19

** {{Dracula}}, previously known as [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad Tepes]], is the OverarchingVillain of the series, the [[MonsterProgenitor first vampire]] ever to exist, and, despite his FauxAffablyEvil manner, puts all other vampires to shame with his monstrousness. After being resurrected, he devours hundreds, procured for him by [[TheDragon Valeri Rusmanov]], to regain his full power. He later kidnaps Blacklight Director Henry Seward and subjects him to brutal torture, including ripping out and eating his left eye in ''Zero Hour'', in which he also kills numerous Operators, including [[spoiler:Acting Director Cal Holmwood]]. He is also responsible for turning thousands of violently unstable inmates into powerful vampires, resulting in numerous deaths across the world. After vampires are revealed to the world, he [[spoiler:secretly funds anti-vampire attacks to destabilize the UK, as well as to distract Blacklight and possibly the other supernatural departments; this leads to the deaths of several vampires]]. Once at full power, his first move against humanity is having vampires attack trains and planes, killing tens of thousands. He then seizes the city of Carcassonne in France, taking over 100 hostages, and gives its inhabitants two days to leave. At the deadline, he gives orders to "Burn it down. Burn it all down." This leads to the deaths of thousands more. His ultimate goal is to TakeOverTheWorld, which will result in countless deaths, vampires becoming the dominant species, and even the slightest dissent being punishable by CruelAndUnusualDeath.

** ''Battle Lines'': [[HeManWomanHater General Garcia Rejon]] uses every bit of his [[ArcVillain limited page time]] to stand out. Previously a Mexican general, Rejon became head of [[TheCartel the Desert drug cartel]] by having its previous leader—-and every person tangentially connected to him—-murdered. Rejon was broken out of the Supermax prison he was eventually sent to and turned into a vampire by Dracula's forces. Rejon immediately regains control by having 68 high-level members of the Desert cartel [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally tortured to death]]. When the heroes launch an assault on Rejon's compound, unwittingly killing a woman, [[DirtyCoward Rejon]] forces a group of scantily-clad young women--whom he's also heavily implied to have coerced into sex for jobs--to fight them off, armed only with knives and machetes.

*** The MadScientist [[spoiler:Professor Richard Talbot, real name Christopher Reynolds]], is the [[spoiler:head of Department 19’s Lazarus Project, which aims to reverse vampirism]]. However, he is in fact trying to find a way to eliminate vampires' weaknesses, a goal which involves brutal torture of vampires. Before escaping, he is in the middle of killing the vampires who are being studied; a [[WouldHurtAChild young vampire]] would have been the next victim. He kills the 23 other members of [[spoiler:Lazarus]] with [[DeadlyGas sarin]], and was about to kill a teenage member before being shot. We learn that he had done this before, torturing vampires and killing his staff. He is also TheMole for Valeri Rusmanov, and is thus responsible for the [[spoiler:kidnapping of Department 19's Director Henry Seward, and the 68 members of Department 19 who are killed--including Kate's boyfriend Shaun Turner--when Valeri leads an attack on Department 19's headquarters]]. While not having the body count of Dracula or the Rusmanovs, he qualifies as one of the worst humans in the series, despite his [[FauxAffablyEvil seeming-politeness]].

*** [[VampireMonarch Dante Valeriano, the Vampire King of Paris]], claims to have been turned by the aforementioned Valeri Rusmanov centuries ago. In truth, Dante is a former peasant named Pierre Depuis who is far younger than he claims. Despite this, Dante runs Paris brutally, painfully killing any vampire who dares object to his rule. On a nightly basis, Dante has humans abducted and brought to his personal theater where they are [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]], murdered and eviscerated on stage with their blood drawn for the thirst of the vampires in attendance. When Frankenstein betrays Dante and rescues a girl who had recognized him from his human life, Dante is left a shattered shell of himself, feeding upon multiple humans to regain power and continuing the horrible "performances" at his theater until he finally captures an amnesiac Frankenstein, fully intending to torture him slowly to death in retribution. While not having the body count of Dracula, Dante's unique brand of {{sadis|t}}m, with far fewer resources, stands out.

** ''Battle Lines'': [[HeManWomanHater General Garcia Rejon]], previously a Mexican general who was imprisoned after he took control of TheCartel before being arrested and sent to a Supermax prison, he was one of the prisoners broken out and [[OurVampiresAreDifferent turned into a super-strong vampire]] by Dracula's forces.

When the good guys launch an assault on Rejon's compound, they unwittingly kill an innocent woman, as she and they other young women who cut and ship the drugs--all in bikinis, as Rejon doesn't trust them and he and the other men "like to look"--were sent, with only knives and machetes, by Rejon, as he [[DirtyCoward wouldn't fight himself]]; he also says the woman would "do anything" for jobs.

** ''Battle Lines'': General Garcia Rejon, who appears when [[ActionGirl Larissa Kinley]] is detailed temporarily to [=NS9=], the US equivalent of Department 19, is a minor ArcVillain who manages to make the most of his limited time.
