lets see who is the evilest person you ever met?
since this is BGII thread, of course we start with Jon Irencius. Well, this guy is nothing! why, you ask. just what evil has he done? except he wants the essence of the Child of Bhaal, and he has immense power. first of all, he is not very resourceful. in the beginning of the adventure, Jon was battling Shadow Thieves, and it resulted the escape of you. ahem, what does that mean? he couldn't even fit into Athtaka's street kingdom. he has no allies among, or spies among Shadow Thieves or Cowled Wizard. I admit he is very smart in using Cowled Wizard to futher his plan, however, this was definately not within his calculation befor eit came to him. So all I can say is: Jon Irencius is quick to graspe opportunites when they present, yet he is not a master at planning them. his intention is evil enough alright, but he has no real power at his spare beside his own magic. even his sister tried to betray him.
Jon Irencius rates 2 out of 5
Scar from Lion King
hey, don't smile when you first see this guy (lion) he is BAD. do not think he is an animated character so that he is not evil enough. just look what he had done. first, his only competitor is Mufasa within the junggle. all lions listen to Mufasa's command. Scar, along, convinced the wolves to join his mission, therefore created a powerful army at his disposal. second, he created the incident to kill Mufasa. a job mastfully done! and before his brother die, he did not even flinch! how cruel! after that, he immediately finish the succession and became the king.
bad thing that he couldn't continue to hold on to his rule. maybe his policies are not good enough
anyway, Scar rates 4 out of 5
Artemis Entreri. well, this is a man of arms. he equips himself to teeth, and survive any confrontation with superior skills and wits. however, he cannot fit in a big scene like Jarlexel does. wherever Artemis goes, he must be master. he must not be mastered by others. Unlike Artemis Entreri, Jarlexel always look for solutions benefits everyone around him, and therefore better his own position. Artemis Entreri is a master fighter, planner, yet he is not ambitious. all he wanted is to be the best at what he does: assasination. Artemis Entreri is Jon Irencius without magic but swords.
Artemis Entreri rates 2 out of 5
Raistlin Majerer
Gee, what can I say about him? not that I favor this guy, but this guy's ability, ambition, control are by far the most superior among all baddies. just look at how he grew in power and eventually challenged Dark Queen. he first successfully grasped the most important opportunity presented to him: to become Fistantinus himself. by imprisoning the essense of Fisttantinus, he gained great knowledge and power, which helps him all along. he sacrificed his health for those power, and he did not care. due to his special identity, he is having hard time making allies. so he obtained the Dragon Orb, which has great divination power. he made a personal friends with Galean, the historian, God of nuetrulity, these two sources along provided him enough information to go with his plans. he plotted the downfall of the Dark Queen, which was a threat to his power within Krynn. in order to continue his ambitious plan, he went back to the past, and spent hundred of years learning from Fistantinus and eventually killed his master...
anyway, this dude takes no chance, everything is within his calculation. he let no emtions master him but to master emotions, he eliminates anyone stands in his way, but do so only when he is 100% sure of the outcome. the most important thing about this guy: he is always in control. EVERY decision he makes is a rational one, too rational close to unhuman. this guy, the worst form of evil, is not a real person, for he has no weakness. he is so evil that he is not true figure.
