Lich from prophecies.
You had no idea he was the villian. He manipulates you into doing his bidding.

He should have had more bodyguards with him at the end.

Lich.. He is such a picture perfect bad guy. Manipulates us and changes Rurik into an undead to kill us! grrr.. and Moltov Rocktail. He has NO mercy whatsoever.. HE like a mindless killing machine that just lumbers along at you until BOOM headshot.. so evil. No other antagonists really impressed me at all. Shiro was a weak minded lap dog. He deserved to die.. TWICE. He is most likley a Warrior and just uses Dags, hmm, Req13 Daggers, 11 Dagger Mastery.. hmm.. Shiro Tanooby!?

I have to be different, sorry!

I go with Varesh. Beautiful, in position of power, lineage of respect in her bloodline.

Manipulative, cunning, back stabbing, hell raising (pretty much in the literal sense), somewhat twisted, or really twisted - however you want to see it...and certainly willing to screw over anyone who tries to side against her.

It was a shame I had to kill her. I rather admired her.

We never got to see the real Varesh. She was corrupted by Kayet before the game began.

I'd like Shiro more if he wasn't so ugly and arrogant.

I'd like Varesh more if she... actually, there's nothing she can do.

Vizier Lich is my favorite easily. He was intelligent enough to trick us the whole way and make us give the scepter to him. Also, I think he has the coolest name out of all the antagonists.

True, which was kind of disappointing when I think of it

I think it'd have been great to introduce her just before Kayet gets deeply involved. I'd have liked to see some of her background played out in scenes. Something we got to see with Shiro.

But in the Nightfall manuscripts there's a good write up, although short, that gives a pretty good impression of who Varesh was before Kayet dug in. Also, while not witnessed, at least some other aspects were filled in by Morgahn in a few spots. So at least we're not left completely in the dark of what kind of person she was before we were introduced to her in the game itself.

Still, though, I know what you mean. There's not much there in the Chapter itself pre-kayet influence.

I'd have to go with the Lich myself.

His Quality:
- Intelligent, always seemed a few moves ahead
- Deceitful, If it hadn't been for my blabber mouth friend showing off, or my frequent visits to GWWiki, I would never have known his true Identity until we officially knew it

-Just plain evil. Bringing back our bestest best buddy from Ascalon back from the dead and then forcing us to kill him? Now that is evil.
- He looked evil too, even in his human form. He fit the bill nicely.

His problem
- World Domination, anyone who's out for this has gotta be bad.

Lich...

Quality:
-Much more cunning, patient
-Manipulative
-Nice voice...actually sounds evil
-Reanimating one of our best buddies? Great drama and evilness.
-Seemed like a much more evil villain than some stupid Asian blademaster

Problem:
-Needed more awesome attacks

Prophecies was ANet's first chapter, so things were new to them, so it's understandable. Still, the Lich could have been much cooler in battle.

I really like bad guys who get corrupt by some unknown evil. I've actually had a cool guy in my mind before Shiro came along. Shiro's problem? Sounds like a huge douchebag.

What he lacks in size, he makes up for in spirit.

And he whipes the floor with "The great destroyer" too.

If we're talking about main foes, I'd have to say...

General Bayel

Pros:
- He's an Ascalonian
- He's mad crazy
- Persistent and Loyal

Cons:
- He's fat
- He's fat
- He's fat

My favourite enemies are definitely Mursaat or Margonites.

Palawa Joko

I like the sense of humor presented with Palawa, and I like the mythos surrounding him that is weaved into the nightfall storyline. (and because of Turai Ossa the story of the whole game)

I dont have BMP but would love to have it just to play the Turai Ossa vs. Palawa Joko quest, just to get even more of that story.

Although I did really liked Shiro, the baddy that really freaked me out the most when I first encountered him was ‘The Hunger.’ I loved the way he put General Bayel in his place. I like to watch that video clip whenever I have the chance.

Qualities:
- great, scary voice
- a real monster type
- non-bipedal, but could still see all of him on the screen

Problem:
- We killed him kind of early, not long after he began trailing us.

I liked General Bayel too. His character was very solid and believable. His voice and appearance really fit his personality.

Palawa Joko. I just like his sacastic comments aswell as his taunts ( I loved the Zhedd vs Palawa convo at the end of GoD in which he calls Zhedd a "Little Plough Horse"). Plus he manages to takeover Elona eventually so i know hes got more one liners for the Heroes (and the Centaurs

)

Palawa Joko. Anyone who can repeatedly put that obnoxious horse's ass we know as Zhed in his place gets my vote, plus, his death in the BMP is way too effing awesome.

And he has a wicked sense of humor. I'd serve him!

Another vote for Palawa Joko; who else can "feed" use to a giant worm, and we're thankful for it? Who else can call undead lazy and get away with it? Who else can get put that annoying Zhed in his place for handing us over to the Kournans?

Plus, he steals my corpses w/ his damned wells, which pisses me off! (oh wait, thats' a negative).
