Queen of Blades from StarCraft: Brood War (but she sucks in StarCraft 2 - especially in Hearth of the Swarm).

Makoto Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin... why? THE GUY BOIL OFF HIS OWN BLOOD IN BATTLE, that's why....
...HE WAS A FIRE BENDER TOO
and he was trully evil, not half evil, or justified evil, evil-evil.

The guy in my avatar, who is Sword Emperor Leonhardt from Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky trilogy. Though more accurately he'd be an antagonist since he's not outright evil. He's a very sympathetic character and anyone who was in his shoes can really see themselves going the same route he did and you know very well that if his life wasn't a complete pile of crap, he probably would have been on your side.
But what I like the most about him is just the interactions you have with him. He's incredibly polite, but at the same time will troll your characters mercilessly. And then if it suits him, he'll even help your characters out. I like him mostly because he's interesting and you can't quite predict how he will act until you really know what actually motivates him, and not the lies he tells about his motivations.

So, quick, easy question for all of you: who's your favorite villain? They can be from a book, a movie, a video game, or what have you.
Some of my favorites include Mayor Prentiss from the Chaos Walking trilogy (one of the most cunning, manipulative bastards ever written imho), Mordred and Walter o'Dimm from The Dark Tower (Mordred for shocking brutality in a series with relatively little violence, and Walter for being everywhere), and Herr Starr from Preacher (for his constant humiliations throughout the comic). I may add more later, if I get around to thinking about why I like so many villains :P
I know this will probably be impossible, but please try to keep your explanations spoiler-free.
