YMMV / Scorpius

• Complete Monster: The titular Vladimir Scorpius is a weapons dealer who mostly trades with terrorists, making him indirectly responsible for over a thousand deaths before the book even begins. The main story of the novel concerns of him using the cult he has established—The Meek Ones—to produce generations of suicide bombers for sale, simply for more profit. He declares a "holy war" against mankind, inducing his cultists to commit several terrorist acts to kill hundreds of people in the United Kingdom in particular. He is treated with utter revulsion by those who know the real man beneath his persona as Father Valentine, and Bond even states he is the worst criminal he ever had to deal with.
