Queen Myrah, leader of the Locust Horde, is actually a human. Once her identity was revealed, it was surprising to see that she is actually human. A traitor to her own people, Queen Myrrah is responsible for the deaths of millions and for organizing Emergence Day, the day Sera changed forever.
Martin orchestrating the red wedding. Makarov wastes little time in becoming the most evil antagonist of this trilogy by opening fire on the innocent bystanders of Zakhaev airport, killing Yuri in Modern Warfare 3 , and being responsible for the death of fan favorite Soap MacTavish. Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game's protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game.
What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his name. GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human.
An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gaming. The power to reverse death? Dormin is an immensely creepy villain, not that you realize it at first. If only you'd thought about it, the evil would be plain to see. Why would anyone nice insist that you kill a bunch of colossi first? Two words: Ulterior motive.
And one that you just don't see until its way too late. Mankind has always had a strange relationship with darkness. On the one hand, it's great for sleeping. On the other, vampires. Like a bully who just won't go away, Dracula keeps coming back to pick on humanity century after century except, you know, his bullying involves murder, the drinking of blood, etc.
He'll make you work for your revenge, too - that castle of his is full of devious traps and bloodthirsty monsters that'll kill you in seconds. Dracula's the true embodiment of things that go bump in the night, and he's damn near impossible to kill.
And if you attempt and fail , he may subject you to a fate worse than death: eternal undeath. Mad scientists are pretty standard fare, but Dr. Wily brings a certain flair to his evil schemes.
He builds or repurposes armies of robots, installs elite bosses into each base, and still finds time to construct a multi-leveled lair and his own super-powered vehicle. No matter how many times Mega Man destroys Wily's machines and their boss rush backups , the bad doctor soon returns with even fancier creations. She may make you question yourself severely, or not.
But her dialogue and role in the story is always undeniable. She does not even appear to be an antagonist at first. Two other Sith lords take on that role. But only one of these Sith lords serves as a cannon fodder pseudo-antagonist, and even he is an imposing, brutish character with a unique attribute that makes his presence so much more dark and eerie than any other Star Wars antagonist by far.
The other Sith lord, Darth Nihilus, arguably deserves a spot on this list himself. But Darth Traya or Kreia, whichever you prefer, is undeniably one of the deepest and most thoughtful characters and antagonists in video game history. Honestly, I mean it, well done. What say we celebrate with a nice relaxing cyanide, huh? Use your imagination! Number one on our list of greatest video game antagonists belongs to Clarence from Penumbra: Black Plague , an episodic horror game.
A truly chaotic evil character, that almost reminds this writer of an evil, twisted incarnation of Morte from Planescape: Torment. Clarence is a very talkative fellow. Perhaps because he tries to kill you throughout the game, and then makes jokes about it. Plus his monologues are just so damn good, he is one of the most quotable characters in video game history. You see, Clarence is the result of a virus known as the Black Plague. The virus causes most people to turn into hostile bumbling idiots, although when these infected are grouped together, they remain hostile but are no longer bumbling idiots.
A curious thing, no? Our 4 entry describes this virus in greater detail. Said virus turned the protagonist, Philip, into a schizophrenic individual with occasional hallucinations that worsen as time goes on.
So he does everything he can to manipulate Philip, both in subtle and obvious ways, through words and deceptive trickery such as making Philip perceive a regular person as an infected. Penumbra does a masterful job building up Clarence as a unique character, and making the player hate him. He is an exceptional character and antagonist, despite not being the main antagonist of Penumbra. The main antagonist of Penumbra is 4 on our list, thus making Penumbra the only game with two entries on this list!
This results in arguably the greatest antagonist in video game history and a significant driving force in Penumbra. He names himself […]. Near the end of the game he does something horrible, that drives augmented people insane.
Our technology has backfired on us once again, and the Zone is the result. The goal of the experiment was to create a super consciousness with almost unlimited potential, in order to tap into the noosphere and guide or control human thoughts. Worldwide mind control, although this super consciousness, dubbed C-Consciousness, claims otherwise. He never speaks. He is James, the darker side of him, subliminally created by James in order to haunt him. James needs to face his fears and right his wrongs, and Pyramid Head is his motivation to do so.
He fell in love with the place, and was trying to figure out how to perhaps make it his home. You are! After Grey was submerged in it, he slowly turned into what would be known as Master. He merged with computer equipment and anyone who approached, incorporating them into himself and developing multiple personalities.
Eventually he grew into what you see in the above picture. One version of this tale states that Nerevar was gravely wounded during the Battle of Red Mountain, others make no mention of such a thing. It is agreed upon that after the victory, Nerevar tasked his friend Voryn Dagoth to safeguard the tools until his return.
Nerevar then went to discuss the next plan of action, particularly what to do with the tools, with his council of advisors Vivec, Sotha Sil, and his wife Almalexia. They decided to safeguard the tools, only on the condition that they never use the tools on themselves to gain divine powers.
It was Nerevar who put forth this condition. They all agreed, and proceeded back to Red Mountain where Voryn Dagoth was protecting the tools. Thanks for reading! How did you like this post?

As it turns out, the Zone is the result of a huge experiment gone wrong. During his travels, Ulysses encountered a prospering community called The Divide. FEV was a government experiment, a biological weapon. He served as a general under the Emperor at the time and to lead attacks against the Protagonists throughout the game and even going so far to poison the drinking water of an entire castle during a siege on a neighboring kingdom.
When the Emperor lost a battel between the Protagonists and a new alliance against him he offers to imprison and exiles Kefka in a show of trust.
After being exiled he stumbles upon a village that offers him care when he is found in the Desert. When he awakes and learns that the village harbors the Alliance that caused his defeat he sets the town on fire without so much as a second thought.
After this, he returns to the Emporer and helps to raise the power of the espers. The Power of the triad to stop our heroes, when trying to figure out how to use the power of the triad he simply wanted to use all the power to destroy the world and watch it burn. After creating an apocalypse he becomes a god of the new world. Although he was ultimately defeated, he was a villain that simply started with nothing and methodically and crazily chipped away everyone who stood in his way.
Even with the Power of an ultimate being, he was still a Nihilist. H is look has become iconic but more importantly, his laugh still sends shivers down the spines of gamers the world over. Personally, there is no villain greater than those who achieve his goal and still causes issues well after. Twitter - FameEnt2k.
