* CompleteMonster: [[TheHedonist Rip Millar]] is a depraved drug dealer, pervert, and sadist who embodies the worst of the degeneracy protagonist Clay encounters in Los Angeles. Slinging drugs and encouraging cruelty even as a [[TeensAreMonsters teenager]], Rip shows Clay his truest colors when he reveals that he has drugged and tied up a [[WouldHurtAChild 12-year-old girl]] to use as a SexSlave for himself and his buddies. Years later, Rip becomes a full-fledged crime boss who uses threats of violence to get his way. Lustfully obsessed with aspiring actress Rain, Rip brutally tortures her lovers and friends to death to isolate her as his own, notably having her best friend raped and killed in a SnuffFilm, all while planning to frame Clay for the multiple slayings. When questioned about the motives, reasons and sense for his atrocities, Rip simply replies, "Why not?"

*CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Rip]] is a [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer slimy drug dealer]] whose crooked slinging of abusive substances leads to the ruination of addict Julian's life. Always prowling around for new young people to addict to drugs and rack up profits, Rip allows Julian to drive up such a debt to him that Julian spends most of his time depressed and broke, at which point Rip takes advantage of the drugged up Julian to forcibly turn him into a [[SexSlave prostitute and pimp him out to wealthy men]]. Even when Julian tries to get clean and pay Rip back, Rip just manipulates Julian into using again and once more forces him into prostitution, all while threatening Julian's friends. Julian eventually dies from all the horrible abuse he's been through, something Rip callously predicted would come to pass earlier in the film with [[LackOfEmpathy casual indifference]].

From what I can tell, this book has a very high standard in heinousness. As a result, most characters probably won\'t qualify. If you think otherwise and want to discuss specific characters possibly qualifying, visit the cleanup thread.
