Discussion - Who is your favorite baddie in the WoT?

[LilyElizabeth]

So, let's talk about the evil doers. Who is your favorite baddie? Personally, I like Lanfear, although I admit I haven't read far in the series. There is something about using seduction to corrupt that appeals to my black heart. 

[Hallia]

I really like Ravhin

 

 

Older suave man that he is.

[Nolder]

Asmodean is my favorite Forsaken.

 

My favorite villain was Fain because I always expected him to do something really cool but his ending was kind of a let down.

 

I guess in the end I'd say Taim just because I like his style.

[Nynaeve]

I like Graendal :)   Fain was intriguing. Machin Shin was always eerie and I enjoyed it even if it was basically just a murderous fog.

[Elaevia]

Do the white cloaks count as baddies? Because I really like the complexity of these people doing such wrong things for the best of reasons.

[LilyElizabeth]

I always think of them as evil, so yes. (Just not our brand of evil...)

[Elaevia]

That's one of the things that I really like about WoT, those people who are in the middle but feel realistic.

 

No-ones brand of evil is quite as sophisticated as ours.

[LilyElizabeth]

RJ has really fleshed out characters and helps the reader see the motivation behind even the worst character's behavior. These books are very well written. I really need to get back to reading them. 

[Nynaeve]

I need to actually get around to finishing them. I'm on 82% of book 13 >.>

[LilyElizabeth]

I took a break to read A Dance With Dragons by GRR Martin, and then I had to turn to something light. I'll be recovered soon, most likely. 

[Krakalakachkn]

Asmodean is my favorite Forsaken.

 

My favorite villain was Fain because I always expected him to do something really cool but his ending was kind of a let down.

This like 100%

 

Going over to the Shadow so you can play music forever?  I honestly can't really think of a better reason than that.

 

Fain was badass in that he was like 3 different people/powers in one, but even though Mat killed him it was kinda weakly written imo.

 

 

Idk if he counts, but I liked Aram a lot as a villain.  I liked watching his fall.

[Niniel]

Moridin and Graendal. 

[ed2funy]

Graendal. She's my idol. 

 

Also, I want to see Graendal sing All About That Bass. 

[Daruya]

Graendal. She's my idol. 

 

Also, I want to see Graendal sing All About That Bass. 

 

Bwah-hah-hah-hah!

 

Sorry . . . just popped in to see what you deliciously evil people were up to and managed to stumble upon this thread.

 

I don't really have a favorite baddie, though.  Therava was pretty evil, though she wasn't a DF (as far as we knew).

Does Verin count as a baddie since she was Black Ajah?  Even though she redeemed herself overall?

 

(Obviously I'm not evil enough to play here . . . ROFLOL!)

[LilyElizabeth]

That's okay. You're always welcome for a visit. We'll have dinner. Yes, dinner. *evil grin*

[Daruya]

Ooooh . . . *shivers*  

 

I'm afraid to ask what's on the menu . . .  

[Moon Sedai]

*Looks at Daruya*

Verin was a weakling who sold out her True Ajah to the Light.
Blast her into Oblivion!

 

(I totally love her)

There are quite a few good "bad guys" in WoT that aren't necessarily Dark Friends or turned to the Shadow. You are right Dar.
