To celebrate his marriage to his tortured bride, the Baron invites several upper-class families to Warrick, intentionally putting them and all of his subjects in danger of the Hair-Trigger Temper of the Firstborn should minor conflicts inevitably arise. Taking pride in his spiteful cruelty, the Baron happily throws away countless lives and backstab anyone he can to attain the true power he craves.
  • The Lord Infante is introduced late in the series as the face of the Crown's atrocities in the Big Bad Ensemble. Fully complicit in the Block, where children are trafficked to either be used for experiments or be painfully transformed into the next generation of amoral Nobles, the Infante is also responsible for laying judgment on regions the Crown cannot control, having condemned a half-dozen other territories to genocide so that Crown loyalists can reclaim and repopulate them centuries later. When the rebel and plague-filled Crown States become too troublesome to manage, the Infante begins efforts to abandon the continent by directing the spread of the Ravage plague; using Black Wood to wipe out all organic matter; and releasing Tender Mercies to hunt down survivors. Falling in love with the taste of "total abandon" caused by the war, the Infante plots to wipe out the Lambs and their allies by forcing the Duke of Francis and his professors to march to their deaths on the threat of sending everyone they love to the Crown's pits, before personally infecting the loyal Crown armies duped by Sylvester with the plague for their unwitting betrayal. A monstrous antithesis to God, the Infante unflinchingly embraces his destructive purpose, madly seeking to prove the superiority of the Crown overall.
  • Dyed in the Wool & Black Sheep arcs: John Colby, aka "The Devil of Corinth", is the premier crime lord of Corinth. A warmonger who sold chemicals to both sides of conflicts, the Devil carved a bloody niche into the criminal underworld by visiting wildly disproportionate torture and murder onto any perceived disrespect or failure. Colby's signature business is peddling a drug that causes long-term damage to its users' bodies and polarizes their personalities, leaving them subdued one moment and magnifying their worst traits into bloodthirsty violence the next. When Sylvester demands recompense for the countless lives he's ruined—especially from the children he preys on and regularly traffics—the Devil responds by organizing mass attacks against the city's children and leaving bombs at a train station for the other Lambs. When faced with defeat, the Devil reveals he's bought entire wagons full of children from other cities to be "creatively" disposed of and has bounty hunters ready to wipe out all his enemies and associates, happily intending to take everyone else down with him.
• Stoneheart (link): Aponi, a slain witch whose spirit continues to linger, initially presents herself as an overzealous protector of the innocent, before showing herself as a vicious and controlling entity. When awakened, she'd attach herself to a victimized woman, punishing abusers or anyone who commits the smallest slight; Aponi would sadistically slaughter them, before discarding her host. When called upon to rescue an abused teenager named Rebecca, Aponi kills her victimizers, before becoming abusive and parasitic towards Rebecca; relentlessly tormenting Rebecca with visions of violence and forcing her to Self-Harm, while pushing her to continue killing for her. As Rebecca becomes more resistant, it's revealed that the support group Rebecca attends serve Aponi to find a suitable host; due to Rebecca's "failure", Aponi has twins Abigail and Jessica torture her. When Rebecca stands up to her, Aponi kills her, sneering that she's like the "others". Aponi then takes Jessica as a new host, having Jessica kill her sister as a show of loyalty.
• "Starlight Escape": King Herod was a paranoid and temperamental tyrant who ruled over Israel. After being informed of the birth of the new King in Bethlehem by the traveling Magi, Herod tries to manipulate them into finding the child for him in order to kill the latter. After the Magi don't return with the location of the child, Herod spitefully orders his army to kill every male child under in Bethlehem under 2 years old.

Ahk-Ton, Kargarh, Crimson Witch and Destroyer, Jed Walker and Olive Raffaeli, Richie Hoarderson

Tyrian, Miriam

As for Kevin, unless I missed someone, he got 7 (Lore, Wet, Ordeaux, Library, Forgo, G, Geode) and 3 (Me, Sghhrv6ub and Duck Of Doom). You need 5 five more than , so if I got the right count, he doesn't pass.

Would anyone be fine if I changed this.

• Origninal: Simon Carver is the reverend of Little Hope who forces the child, Mary Milton, to accuse innocent people of committing witchcraft; These people would then get executed in horrific ways with Amy chained up and drowning to death, Tanya either being hanged or burned on the stake, David impaled by a fence, and Joshua being pressed by stones. Carver would then accuse Mary of being a witch and if Carver succeeds in getting Mary executed he smiles sadistically while watching Mary being burned alive.

And make it this.

The three day waiting period is over and he got approved, so here's my entry for Oswyn Puschinske.

The Dark Eye: The Archmage Oswyn Puschinske is the headmaster of the Hall of Power who wishes to establish a continent-wide Magocracy and lord over the rest of the population. To achieve his goal he places a Night Soul inside the leader of the Grey Guild and plans to turn him into a living bomb at the largest gathering of mages on the continent to cripple the Mage Guilds and kill everyone who could oppose him. Afterwards he intends to plant another Night Soul inside the Empress of the Middenrealm to rule the nation from the shadows. When the Nigh Soul inside the guild leader got exposed before he can set his plan in motion, he attempts to have it kill all witnesses by causing a magical catastrophe that would destroy one third of a city. When he's eventually confronted by the Player Characters he proudly explains his plans to them in an attempt to stall for time, while he secretly takes over the minds of their allies and orders them to kill the Player Characters.

His placement on the page is a bit tricky. He has been around long before every other CM except Xeraan. So it makes sence to put him between Xeraan and Rhazzazor. But as I said in the EP, he was only a footnote in the setting before his most recent appearance where he committed not only his most notable crimes but was also killed off at the end of the adventure. Therefore, putting him at the end of the list below Aarbilar makes sense, too. I leave it up to you ACW.

Funny little trivia: Puschinske was my first Dark Eye candidate who had a last name. Guess in this setting having Only One Name drastically increases your chances of being a CM.

Yes to Richie Hoarderson

Think I'll put him at the end. Mind adding him to the Drafts?

Done

Mind adding the potholes?

Sorry. Fixed it.

So uh everybody cool with my fix for Carver?

Haven't got an opinion on it yet.

Look great Mir.

Yeah, Looks way better to me

The tweek looks great Mir

Okay I've got a few candidates I got to discuss. Let's start with two from a show that I meant to cover this year but couldn't due to the pages being locked, but now with the proposal threads open I can do the. From the show Blood & Treasure so lets talk about it.

What’s The Work?

Blood & Treasure is an American Action-Adventure Drama that centers on a Danny McNamara, a brilliant antiquities expert and Lexi Vaziri, a cunning art thief, who team up to catch the ruthless terrorist, Karim Farouk, who funds his attacks through stolen treasure. That all in Season 1 where Karim Farouk, aka Simon Hardwick does not qualify for this trope being a Magnificent Bastard.

Season 2 on the other had may feature two possible candidates for this trope (this EP will be discussing the first candidate) where Danny and Lexi once again team up to stop another international terrorist, The Great Khan from using an ancient artifact, The Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan for their own evil plans. That said there are two people that have used the name, The Great Khan, one of whom serves as The Heavy for the other and also happens to be my candidate, Batu.

Who Is He? What Has He Done?

Batu is The Heavy for season 2 serving as the acting Great Khan on the behalf of Violet, the true Great Khan and Big Bad of Season 2, where he would command Violet’s army and use them to attack countless areas throughout the world in his pursuit of the Spirit Banner, leading to countless casualties and bloodshed throughout with Batu’s attack on the Vatican leading to at least 8 people getting killed.

Batu would also retrieve Simon Hardwick who was being held captive in an Irish Prison, where Batu would force Simon to work for him threatening with death and torture should Simon fail him, where Batu actually brands Simon against his will when he thought that Simon was planning against him. He also shows this similar cruelty to his soldiers feeding one of them to crocodiles when they failed him with it being a regular punishment Batu orders to any who fails him.

As the season progresses Batu has his army attack more areas across the world leading to many deaths such as the wife of Danny’s contact, Andrei Levchenko, before killing Andrei at a later point, and would also steal a nuclear bomb at a Russian facility with plans of using it to kill millions to assert his might, and would have a group of white hat hackers killed so that they would become a threat to Batu and Violets plans.

We would later learn that Batu wants find the Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan because he believe that it contained a deadly virus that would kill off anyone who doesn’t have the Khan’s DNA while believing he won’t get killed because he has the Khan’s DNA with Batu’s plan to create a Master Race by unleashing the virus throughout the world so that everyone but those from the Khan’s lineage will be killed off so that he may rule over them.

However before Batu could enact on his genocidal plan one of his goons decided to kill him, becoming sick of Batu’s Bad Boss tendencies, while attempting to take over the Great Khan’s army. That’s when Violet killed said good reveals herself as the Great Khan and true Big Bad, while later revealing that there is no virus failed but used the legend that there was to cause world panic for her own plans, while planning to use the nuclear bomb Batu stole to nuke Hong Kong, killing millions there, fortunately she’s stopped by Danny and Lexi.

Freudian Excuse? Redeeming Qualties?

All that was known about Batu was that he joined forces with Violet serving as the acting Great Khan while Violet was the Man Behind the Man, but it is never shown at any point that Batu was genuinely loyal to Violet only deciding to work with her for his own gain because he believed that he was superior over everyone else by having the bloodline of Genghis Khan

Not to mentioned that Batu wanted to prove his superiority by finding a Virus he thought to be true and unleash on the world, all to kill off everyone lacking the Kahn’s DNA and create a Master Race which he plans to rule over. So yeah his goals and alliance to Violet are entirely self-serving with no well-intentions for sympathy whatsoever and treats his on subordinates horribly, killing any torturing any who remotely displeases him.

Heinousness

While the real Big Bad of Season 2 is Violet whose real plan is to use the myth of a Virus to cause global panic so that everyone will be too distracted stop her from stealing trillions of dollars while planning to nuke Hong Kong to cover her tracks, she does some militating factors that prevents her from counting and I actually plan to EP her as a Magnificent Bastard (she had a sympathetic backstory of growing in the slums of Hong Kong while sharing a friend with Lexi).

Batu on the other hand has no such excuse or redeeming qualities and by serving as The Heavy until his death, his atrocities are shown throughout, having his men attack numerous places around the world, such as the Vatican City and a Russian facility, and kill countless people throughout his rampages, feeding his men to crocodiles if they fail him, branding Simon Hardwick when the latter tries making a move against him, killing a group of white-hat hackers, while planning to unleashing a virus to kill off everyone but himself and those who have the Khan’s DNA (thankfully it’s revealed that the virus doesn’t exist but still) and the nuke that Violet plans to use on Hong Kong Batu retrieved it for her. There is one other candidate but where it stands, Batu definitely stands out.

Final Verdict?

I’ll leave it to you guys

Seems like a yes. He made concrete steps to unleash the virus, which is enough even if it doesn't exist (similar to Ehrhardt).

Yes to Batu

for Batu. After the description of the plot of Season 1 I certainly didn’t not expect that Season 2 would involve bad guys stealing nuclear weapons. How are they going to top THAT in a hypothetical Season 3?

Okay here's my second candidate from Blood & Treasure, Dr. Orlov.

Who Is He? What Has He Done?

Doctor Orlov was a doctor from the Soviet Union who was stationed in a bio-weapon facility Kazakhstan called Aralsk-7, and was in charged of creating a genocidal Virus that would kill anyone with Genghis Khan’s DNA. To his end Orlov obtain the Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan to extract the Khan’s DNA and mixed with various viruses.

Afterwards he would test his virus on innocent children that he had kidnapped throughout Kazakhstan and brought to his facility resulting in these children getting severely ill, deformed, and eventually die as a result of Orlov’s horrific experiments on him, much to the apathy of Orlov as his only concern was creating a genocidal virus.

The Vatican would eventually learn about Dr. Orlov and all the horrific experiment that he conducted on innocent children and his plans on creating a virus that could wipe anyone who may have even the smallest traces of the Khan’s DNA so the allied with the CIA and infiltrated Orlov’s facility and kill the Mad Scientist and took his research and the Spirit Banner.

Despite Orlov’s death his legacy still lived on in the present as this creates the legend that a virus was created (which is back up by the fact that Batu’s army may have found Orlov’s research when they raided the Vatican) which Batu planned to use to wipe out anyone that doesn’t share the Khan’s DNA.

Freudian Excuse? Redeeming Qualities?

All that’s known about Orlov was that he was a genocidal racist who tried to create a Virus to wipe out a certain ethnical bloodline and conducted horrific experiments on innocent children to accomplish this, all while showing no care or remorse that all of these children ended of dying because of Orlov’s treatment of them. So yeah nothing regarding an excuse or redeeming qualities for Orlov.

Other Militating Factors?

Now Orlov is already long by the time that Danny and Lexi infiltrated his facility but we see photographs of Orlov, all the bodies throughout the facility and evidence of what Orlov had done to his victims that I think we can count this onscreen. It also helped that we recently had approved multiple posthumous villain so long as there is evidence of their villainy shown onscreen (Henry Avery from Uncharted 4 being one such example)

Heinousness

For a dead guy who showed up in one episode (Mystery at Poison Island), Orlov has committed some unique atrocities that allows him to stand out such as killing countless children through his twisted experimentation on them all to engineer and unleash a genocidal virus to kill off everyone who has the Khan’s bloodline.

This leads to the possibility of the Spirit Banner containing a potential Virus leading to the actions committed by villains Batu and Violent, making Orlov a major catalyst to the events that has transpired throughout season 2 and a lot of deaths that came out of that.

Final Verdict

I’ll leave it to you guys.

Okay, with Richie...seems like late in the game there's aliens who want to destroy Earth, and even if they don't count (they think humans enjoy killing each other), they jack up the heinous standard/

Thought this whole bad guy never appearing in person wasn't supposed to apply to live action works?

I sincerely remembered we agreed to that.

Edit: Batu though.

Edited by miraculous on Jan 22nd 2023 at 8:26:34 AM

Yes to Batu, no to Orlov

I would also ask people not to do two EP's on the same page, it's discourteous to others when we have a limit of only 4 a page/hour

Edited by Lightysnake on Jan 22nd 2023 at 8:32:34 AM

Seriously I had no idea about that rule being made. What would be the difference between a villain whose evidence is shown onscreen but the villain himself isn't seen in live-actions works (there are pictures of Orlov and his corpse his shown in the facility) vs. a villain whose evidence is shown onscreen but the villain himself isn't seen in non-live action works (I don't know if this rule applies to video games since Henry Avery from Uncharted 4 isn't seen in flashbacks aside, only appearing as a corpses yet he's able to pull through )

If we see pictures of him and his corpse, that's enough onscreen IMO.

Tbh I would down vote this guy anyway. The Ep has not mentioned any personality whatsoever. Its describing deeds and a plan sure but not like anything to be a character.
