** [[StarterVillain Simon Gunther]], from the premiere "New Girl in Town", is a misogynistic SerialKiller seeking to "unmask" women who are new to Los Angeles, [[TearYourFaceOff carving off their faces]] and degloving the hands of his victims to erase their identities as his way of "making them into nothing".

** [[AbusiveParents Arlen Dallas]], from "Gem", is a wealthy developer living a double life as a [[WouldHurtAChild child pornographer]]. Dallas [[ParentalIncest molested his own son]], Jason, when he was still a child and cheated on his wife with a maid, fathering Angelica and forcing Jason to abuse his own half-sister in a long-running series of homemade videos that captured her pain as she matured, making Angelica a "star" in the world of child pornography, starting when she was at least six. When the mentally unstable Jason betrays his father to have Angelica for himself, Dallas sends the VCU after him by playing the victim and pinning the blame on Jason, leading to his death. Indifferent to the death of his son and the suffering that he caused to his daughter, Dallas was one of the worst criminals encountered by the VCU despite not being directly involved in any murder.
** [[FatBastard Ronald Ewing]], from the finale "Skin and Bone", is a repulsive [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]] preying on vulnerable girls and luring them to his home via a pro-anorexia website. Suspected to have [[SiblingMurder eaten his own sister]] in the past, Ewing installs {{shock collar}}s on his victims and forces them to be his friends, eating them when the girls don't have what he calls "house manners", killing at least twelve women and hiding their bones under the floor. When Rebecca, posing as an anorexic woman, investigates the missing girls by herself, Ewing captures her and a promises to be a "friend who understands", but quickly drops the façade once she tries to escape, calling her names to mock her supposed weight problem despite being an obese man himself. With dozens of victims to his name, Ewing was the most prolific SerialKiller introduced in the show.
