The head of the Bellum corporation, ANaziByAnyOtherName ObviouslyEvil man who leads a company full of BloodKnights. He seeks to conquer everything to make war as he sees fit, making him a BloodKnight {{Chessmaster}}. He is FauxAffablyEvil, acting polite and kind to others but really not caring at all about them. On rare occasions, he is prone to fits of rage that shock those around him, though he himself never actually fights.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the commentators, as he even dresses like this. However, his personality is not even close to that of the original Nazis, being more of a BlodoKnight in ideology.

* PokeThePoodle: His rant to Lilith at the end of the initial story is a long list of why he despises and hates her. Goes slightly into EvilIsPetty when he insults her looks and hair. [[spoiler:After helping the Vault Hunters kill Jackal Cash, he only asks for a handshake from Lilith just to irritate her. Brought back in the second [=DLC=] when Lilith spits into her hand before shaking his hand, much to his [[Squick disgust]]]].

[[spoiler:After the initial story, he is a secondary antagonist for the story, as he reappears in the first [=DLC=] as Suture's replacement in the Carnival as C13. He later reveals himself to Lilith, only to receive a CurbStompBattle in response. As of now, his location and activities are unknown]].

*ForTheEvulz: Even when compared to Josef, this guy is the ''best'' example of this. He does things only because ItAmusedMe, with no justifications to why. [[spoiler:Cutting off Brick's head post-death and showing it to Lilith as a trophy is the prime example of this]].
*MagicalEye: Has two from the Birds of Prey experiment, allowing him to copy someone perfectly, including their personality and powers.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Kills entire planets full of people, hosts death games annually, lets rape and manslaughter slide without a note, all in an effort to help his home planet. Doesn't justify the things he did, but it makes him far more three-dimensional compared to Josef.


Added DiffLines:

*WellIntentionedExtremist: Commits mass murders of ''entire planets'' before he even sets up shop hosting death games for hungry masses, but does it all to help his home planet. The heroes even take time to consider what he said, before delivering a ShutUpHannibal and TalkToTheFist response.

* AffablyEvil / FauxAffablyEvil: No matter what, these villains are polite. Even if they're killing entire planets of people (Vangorium) or describing how much they utterly hate you (Josef), they won't yell or swear while they do it.



* OnlySaneEmployee: Ironically, all of the villains shown so far act like this. They try to keep their units together without killing each other, which is pretty hard most of the time. The only reason they do this is probably for efficiency however, and not any disgust towards violence among friends.



*EvenEvilHasStandards: Does ''not'' tolerate traitors or someone stealing his property. It's most likely he sees it as an annoyance more than a breach of some honor code, but it is telling that he does not tolerate either in any way.
*ForTheEvulz: His primary motivation for literally anything. As long as it results in war, he's down with it.
*PokeThePoodle: His rant to Lilith at the end of the initial story is a long list of why he despises and hates her. Goes slightly into EvilIsPetty when he insults her looks and hair.

*BlueBlood: Born into wealth on an extremely poor planet. Subverted, as he constantly tries to help the lesser-fortunate due to his bleeding heart.

*TheSociopath: Oh so very much. Entire planets of people are like flies to him. He even admitted that he stopped caring for ''his own parents'' when he figured out that they didn't care about his home planet at all.


Added DiffLines:

*UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Believes this in regards to his planet. Doesn't gather much sympathy from the Vault Hunters though, as he made ten whole planets suffer for his home alone.

* TheUnfettered: He does not give a shit about morals, honor, or how powerful you are. If you get in the way of his quest to help his planet, he will ''destroy'' you.

[[folder:Josef Muller]]
The head of the Bellum corporation, ANaziByAnyOtherName ObviouslyEvil man who leads a company full of BloodKnights. He seeks to conquer everything to make war as he sees fit, making him a BloodKnight {{Chessmaster}}. He is FauxAffablyEvil, acting polite and kind to others but really not caring at all about them. On rare occasions, he is prone to fits of rage that shock those around him, though he himself never actually fights.

During the first and second DLC, he remains as a secondary antagonist, being replaced by Mr. Vangorium and Cassius Hardy as the primary antagonists of those story arcs. He is still present though, usually [[EvilerThanThou in opposition to the current villain]]. He is still present in the story, though how long he will be waits to be seen.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the commentators, as he even dresses like this. However, his personality is not even close to that of the original Nazis, being more of a BlodoKnight in ideology.
*BloodKnight: Even compared to other characters, this guy stands out. He wants to TakeOverTheWorld for the ''sole'' purpose of creating wars in his territory, as war amuses him greatly. Unlike the rest in the story, he does not personally fight, probably due to lack of combat ability.
*TakeOverTheWorld: His only real goal. Ironically, he is doing it just to cause world wars across the universe, making him almost an OmnicidalManiac in attitude.
*TheUnfettered: He will kill, torture, lie, and steal to conquer everything.

[[folder:Mister Vangorium]]
The BigBad of the first DLC, he is the leader of a CircusOfFear called the Carnival of Carnage, which he leads for the profits and ratings. Unlike Josef, he is TheStoic and AffablyEvil, as he legitimately despises the evil things he does and does not see himself as a good guy. Despite this attitude, he is willing to support anything that is done in the Carnival, up to [[spoiler:experimenting and using a Siren to charge the Vault Keys to open the grand prize at the end of each Carnival]]. Also unlike Josef, [[spoiler:he eventually is defeated and killed by Suture, putting his corporation to an end]].
*[[spoiler:FaceDeathWithDignity: When stabbed by Suture from behind, he reacts only with a gasp, and calmly asks if it was indeed him who had stabbed him. When Suture offered to make his death quick and painless, Vangorium refused]]
