Cleaning up Peytraud's entry.

Original:

• The Serpent and the Rainbow: Dargent Peytraud is the leader of the infamous Haitian Tontons Macoutes death squad and a practitioner of Voodoo who is in charge of keeping the Haitian population in line through terror and torture. He uses a special drug to steal peoples' soul and make them appear dead. The ones who don't suffocate after being buried alive are exhumed and turned into unwilling zombie slaves. When anthropologist Dr. Dennis Alan comes to Haiti to investigate, Peytraud brutally tortures him by hammering a nail into his genitals. He haunts Alan's dreams, filling them with nightmarish visions of the walking dead and later frames him for murder to force him to leave town. Eventually, Peytraud uses his Black Magic to control a woman in order to make her murder Alan. When Allan returns he uses the same trick on his ally to make him decapitate himself and then drugs Alan and places him inside a coffin with a tarantula. When he and Alan finally square off at the end, he tries to perform a human sacrifice on Alan's beloved Michelle by beheading her.

Well we’ve had a good run. Now onto my final candidate, a particularly vicious drug dealer from Series 22, Episode 2: “Lift Up Your Hearts”

Who is he?

Ramush, an Ax-Crazy drug dealer, serial rapist, and producer of a particularly horrible illegal drug…

What has he done?

At the beginning of the episode, Ramushs’s main dealer and meth cook blow themselves up using extremely dangerous equipment (that Ramush supplied them with) during drug production. Unable to make more money off his main supply, Ramush meets up with his partner and “pupil” Rudi, whom Ramush mentored and brought into the drug trade. Ramush strong arms him into selling a stupidly lethal and addictive drug called Fentanyl, and tells him to specifically target schools and underage children. He also instructs him to get a gang of black teenagers to sell drugs for them.

Their operation in place, the drug is soon spread around the area with lethal effect. All of a day later two drug addicts consume the fentanyl and immediately suffer the consequences. One dies on a public street whilst the other, a mother of a young girl Ramush knows about (due to her being a repeat customer), almost suffers severe brain damage. Ramush is not only apathetic to the death he has just caused, but is in fact pleased with the potency of the drug.

When Ramush and his new dealers gather at a club to sell the fentanyl, Ramush sees one of the black dealers, Jesse, with his girlfriend, Pamela, who is out partying to celebrate her admission to Oxford University. For no other reason than a laugh, Ramush rolls an utterly lethal amount of his drug into a cigarette and approaches her to offer it, which she accepts and promptly overdoses, expiring later in the hospital in front of her family and boyfriend.

Although only just escaping, Ramush is seemingly unable to keep his sadistic tendencies in check. When the previously mentioned drug addict who had just survived her overdose returns for more, Ramush gives her a large amount once again. This done, Ramush then rapes her unconscious body before throttling her to death with his belt, once again for no reason other than a thrill, leaving her child an orphan. It is then revealed that on top of drug dealing, Ramush is in fact a serial rapist. When drug addicts like her come to him, Ramush takes advantage of their trip to rape them. He has four confirmed victims, but there are hints there may be more as this is established as being normal behaviour for him.

Deciding that the drug dealers he has working for him are more trouble than they are worth after they fail to give him enough money and give him an attitude (which leads to him assaulting Rudi to vent his frustrations), Ramush orders Rudi to kill all three of them. One of them is then stabbed to death in an elevator on his estate, but the two survivors figure out what has happened and decide to get the drop on Ramush and Rudi. Falsely agreeing to meet up with the pair at a seedy restaurant, one of the drug dealers immediately stabs Rudi to death. Enraged at being fooled, Ramush promptly disarms the man and beats him to death with his fists in front of terrified diners whilst Jesse, now the only survivor, makes his escape.

Attempting to track him downi, Ramush finds time beforehand to approach a little girl on the street and pressure her into selling drugs for him, with the implication that he may use the drug on her and rape her as well.

Meeting up with Jesse in a tunnel beneath an estate, Ramush produces the drug and brags about how Jesse could use it to rape anyone he likes. He then falsely offers him a partnership, before seizing him and attempting to force feed him the fentanyl so that he will overdose. When Pamela’s father and brother (who have followed Jesse following his attempt to apologise to them) interrupt him, Ramush produces a knife and attempts to outright murder all three of them, until Jesse lays him out with a pipe and kills him with his own drug.

Heinous Standard?

Ramush mixes violent crimes like almost no other villain in the show, with rape, murder and general horribleness as his way of life. Not only is he attempting to target kids with a horrible drug to get them hooked on it early, he is also a serial rapist as well as committing the majority of his own murders for no other reason than personal enjoyment, with his murder of Pamela in particular standing out as one of the most pointlessly cruel crimes during the shows run. Likewise, sexual crimes like Ramush’s are relatively rare on this show, and Ramush is perhaps the single most prolific rapist the team ever deals with, with him merrily treating the whole thing as “fun”.

Just for contrast, there have indeed been other drug dealers on this show and Ramush beats them all in sheer villainy and how many lines he’s willing to cross, making easily the worst in that particular niche and one of the worst I have seen involved in organised crime in general.

Overall then? I think he easily breaches it.

Redeeming Qualities or Freudian Excuse?

His only potential redeeming quality is his “friendship” with Rudi. He is shown to get along somewhat well with him, and brings up his death to Jesse when attempting to kill him, saying: “You think I don’t know you were there when they stuck Rudi huh? You think I don’t know you were part of it?” Now this may seem to hint at some care when taken at face value, but ultimately I don’t believe this holds up for several reasons:

1. There is a scene between Rudi’s death and when he tries to kill Jesse and Ramush is not even slightly upset at the death of his “friend”, but rather seems to be lamenting his lost source of income, before he sees a kid and tries to intimidate her into selling the drugs. It comes across that he wants to “replace” Rudi as quickly as possible just so he can get his money back.

2. Likewise, when Rudi is knifed Ramush IS angry...because the pair of dealers tricked him and showed him up in front of people, and got rid of a good source of profit for him.

3. But the single most undermining thing though? When Rudi doesn’t come up with enough money, Ramush goes outright Bad Boss on him, punching him multiple times. This firmly establishes that whilst he may well “like” Rudi, he’d better return Ramush’s investment in him… or else.

So ultimately? I don’t think this holds. While he may have “liked” Rudi and showed him the ropes, he seems to view him just as a partner and a source of income more than anything. Other than that? Absolutely nothing.

Conclusion?

A yes for me.

As discussed to Ramush, perhaps our most diversely nasty candidate.

Ramush.

Ramush seems a pretty easy yes.

Yes to Ramush.

Fallout and Blood Books needs a new image. Third time I'm asking this, and nothing is happening. Can someone do something about this already?

Give us an image and something might happen.

• Dragon's Dogma's "Gluttony": The Mayor is a gluttonous pig of a man who has a Cyclops eat children under false pretenses that they are ritual sacrifices; he would only spare those who hand over all their food to him, while letting them starve to death. When Ethan and Hannah battles the Cyclops, the Mayor has his men attack the duo, potentially putting them in danger of facing the Cyclops's warpath.
• The unnamed "Staff Leader" of the orphanage the young Miyo Takano was sent to is an ill-tempered authoritarian who punishes a boy for spilling his pen's ink by making him ingest it. When Takano and her friends make an escape attempt from his cruel establishment, he has her friend and the ringleader, Eriko, sent to the chicken coop to be pecked to death. Takano herself doesn't fare much better, as the head forces her to clean a filthy outhouse with her tongue. Though merely a flashback character, it was the orphanage head's horrific cruelties that broke Takano into becoming the psychotic, villainous woman she is now.
• Beasts of Burden's: "What the Cat Dragged In" arc: The Harrow is a sadistic demon summoned by the former witch's familiar cat, Dymphna. Upon being bound, the Harrow traps Dymphna's kittens and their caretaker, forcing the latter to try to kill the former two and leading to her death in self-defense. Reviving her, the Harrow forces this to repeat constantly, torturing all of them so horribly the kittens scratch their eyes out to escape, even trying to kill themselves only to be revived and tortured all the more by the demon. Upon defeat, the Harrow attempts to drag Dymphna and her allies back to hell for eternal torture at the hands of its brethren.
• Hell Fire (2012-2015) has these two children of Satan:
  • The Antichrist is the proud son of Satan who plans to become President of the United States and kickstart Armageddon to wipe out humanity and make their souls the Devil's slaves as a way to spite God. Since he can't kill the unborn Messiah, the son of God who has the power to stop him, the Anti-Christ attempts to make a deal with the pimp Dark Gable to have him kill the Messiah's mother Marisol in exchange for power. After getting kidnapped by Rosetta and the prostitutes, the Anti-Christ uses his telepathy and charm to break the prostitutes' minds by exploiting their traumatic memories, killing one named Cinnamon to act as his undead slave, and forcing them to fight their literal inner demons. Getting Rosetta to join his side, the Anti-Christ resurrects the people Rosetta killed to murder the pregnant Marisol and the unborn Messiah.
  • Rosetta is a mysterious prostitute who turns out to be the daughter of Satan. Plotting to steal her pimp Dark Gable's supposed money from his deal with the Anti-Christ, Rosetta has Gable and those around him held captive and their throats slit, including some innocent prostitutes who just happened to be there. Torturing the Anti-Christ in gangster Tony Wang's cabin to find out where the money's hidden, Rosetta kills Tony and his wife Anna when they unexpectedly arrive at the cabin. Joining the Anti-Christ in his Armageddon plan because of how cool it sounds, Rosetta throws her friends aside to be killed and used by the Anti-Christ for magic practice. Ordering her Baby Daddy to kidnap Marisol, Rosetta slits his throat once he arrives, and later bites off Justine's ear while fighting her.

Carver sinks a British ship, guns down the survivors, and destroys a Chinese jet in order the escalate tensions between the two countries. Carver then plans to launch a stolen missile into Beijing to destroy the Chinese government and start World War III, all so that he will get exclusive broadcasting rights in China from the new government. When James Bond investigates this, Carver murders his wife Paris when she gets too close to Bond, taunting him with a broadcast that frames it as a murder-suicide committed by Bond. Carver later orders the brutal torture of Bond and Wai Lin by Richard Stamper, and guns down his own associate when he's "outlived [his] contract". Already a wealthy man, Carver is willing to cause millions of deaths just to satisfy his greed.

Ethniu intends on causing a full-on supernatural pogrom to kick off a war between the human and supernatural worlds so she may take advantage of the carnage and rule the world, and when confronted by Harry has him mentally tortured by showing him visions of his daughter and friends being brutally murdered in order to drive him to despair.
  • King Corb of the Fomor is a vicious brute who orders his court's atrocities. Having numerous sapient beings taken through Human Trafficking schemes that involve children, Corb has them subjected to horrible experiments or enslaved with their minds stolen from them to serve the Fomor. Playing every side he can, Corb had also aided the Red Court in their war crimes with providing them nerve gas and upon Ethniu's rise leads his Huntsmen to sweep through Chicago, with men, women and children alike and butchered en masse, Harry even finding a bloodied baby carriage and having to defend a daycare from the Fomor siege.

• A Case in Bucksville: Jacob Lucas, aka the Stranger, is a high-functioning sociopath and child killer. Burning his parents and sister alive as a teenager because they annoyed him, Jacob became addicted to killing after killing his next victim, moving to different towns and killing a hundred children overall before settling in Bucksville as Jonathan Moore, journalist Karen Brown's assistant. While continuing his child-killing spree, the Strangler gave photos of the dead children to one of the suspects not to frame her, but to screw with the town further, while he enjoyed "seeing parents cry, argue, blame each other, leave each other, even take their own lives" as a result of his killing spree.

With his army, he launched a war to exterminate humanity, killing millions before being stopped. Years later, he returns by invading the city of Albatross, exterminating most of the populace and converting the rest into the Missionary. Afterwards, he resumes his genocidal campaign on the rest of the world, wiping out or enslaving more people.
• The Human Pet: Sam Deercot, also known as The Codemaster, is a cruel Serial Killer who's stalked, kidnapped, and murdered numerous people in the past. Targeting Eric for an affair he had with his boss's wife, he chooses to broadcast Eric's humiliation and torment to the world while allowing his audience to influence whether he lives or dies, and reveals the infidelity with private videos. Though a victim of parental abuse, which lead to the murder of his parents, his actions since have only shown him to be just as heartless, with his known victims coming from abusive backgrounds themselves. Even the audience wasn't safe from his games, having been tricked by a third alias of his with strange messages and videos, only to distract and manipulate them away from their goal of saving Eric—who likely died offscreen, just another victim in Sam's long list.

Ramush.

Ramush.

Also, ACW, in the N. Tropys entry, there is one spelling error with the second time, the alternate N. Tropy, is stated. You wrote he instead of the. Just felt like you should know.

Whoops, thanks. Fixed.

You're welcome. :)

For Sam Deercot, pothole suggestions: replace the Big Bad pothole in his name with Villain Protagonist (since he is basically the focus of the videos aside from Eric), pothole “allowing his audience to influence whether he lives or dies” to Deadly Game, and “murder of his parents” with Self-Made Orphan.

Got 'em.

I've finished The Heroes of Olympus not too long ago; has Octavian been discussed on here before?

This kid is a serious piece of work.
