Rate your fanfic villain's evilness!, On a scale of 1-10, how evil is your villain? Options

[King Of Beasts]

I thought this would be a fun thread so....

If you could rate a villain in your fanfic(if you've written one) it doesn't have to be the main villain, on a scale of 1-10, how evil is he/she?

If you want to, explain why you gave the villain the rating you gave him/her. I guess it's fine if you want to rate a villain from someone else's fanfic.

Anyway.....

I'd rate the main antagonist of my story, (his name is Vokun for those of you that haven't read my story) about a 7.5 on the evilness scale. I'm not putting up any spoilers, but I'll say he has a somewhat reasonable motive behind his actions....

The secondary antagonist(Rex) in my story, I'd rate him a 10. Yes, he's downright evil for no good reason.

So in coming up with new concepts for one of my infamous characters, I debated on the moral nature of the Nord Kormák Imajte. I asked myself on a scale from one to ten, how horrible is this man? Then this thread came to mind.

So I’ll post my character, Kormák Imajte. He’s not a character one can sympathize with so easily, if at all. I don’t plan on making him a character that has any outstanding noble qualities. He’s not an anti-hero and falls just short of being a complete villain. What I can say is that he’s, of course, human in the sense of the word and has the worst of human emotions. He’s the Hero Killer of Kraven’s latest story and one of Kraven’s most terrifying antagonists.

That Kormák is a killer is not enough. Nord warriors are meant to be just like that. That Nordic society at large accepted glorification of violence and arbitrary might and honor and all that good stuff. So Kormák is simply raised in that sort of culture, but what he does with his power is what distinguishes him from my protagonist, Kraven/Lycus Desselius.

I’d say he falls in the “evil” category because he has might, he has power and strength and he uses it to kill not as a means of survival or even in warfare or a sense of honor or glory, but to oppress others for personal gratification. That’s the worst kind. “Evil” acts can be done in war, battle, slavery, etc.

Though is it better to torture an enemy for information or torture a person just for the amusement of it? Killing of civilians and children for fun and because of a warped sense of power? I’d say Kormák falls into this category. Because unlike my morally “grey” characters, his cruelty, pillaging and murders are pointless. There is no reason for it other than self pleasure and that’s what bumps him up to the eight out of ten scale.

In my fanfic(that has yet to show this man’s true horrific nature), he tortures and murders the small, frail and once happy people in burnt-down peasant villages and rapes women and little girls and he is the biggest monster in my stories so far. He’s one of the worst barbarian bandit and the truest monster in the sense of the word. He’s a murderer, a pedophile and just the man who others will want to be rooting to be killed.

I generally dislike over “evilizing” my characters. I always justify their actions and their own reasons for what they do and why but this guy has nearly none.

8/10

Has he even shown up in the story yet? We have to read him to rate him (unless you are just putting in your vote for him).
