Why do you hate me!?

You just called my character's wife a villain. What do you expect?

You won't even get close to Perth. I still have to kill you for killing Katerina. Don't worry, I'll find you.
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

I'll just woo the new character. Then marry her to my stepson.

I'm already close to Perth. Ask his characters on both Atamara and Dwilight.

Also, yet again that was pure suicide on Katerina's part. She had plenty of other options. Put Brom to death, marry him, etc...

Gauihu was planning on rebuilding the palace of Riverholm, including facades made up of stacked human skulls, but didn't get the chance before the realm broke apart.

A moment of clarity and the realization that your characters are actually filled with a homo-erotic passion for mine?

Borus in Coria on Atamara, stole half the realm's gold under the old banking system, and got off with about 7k of our money. Tried to make himself dictator through bribery but bribed loyal Corians.

The first Villain I remember Oritolon Banker on Colonies island, Doctor Jeckyl(his player of Jeckyl username on Forum). He stole all our gold tax and flee the island. He also make us all zero income come tax day ;)

Then there is another second Villain, I recall. Hvrek Psyche. He created multi accounts to takeover our whole realm and banned half the realm nobles :o

Do all realms have something like this below on their Battlemaster Wikipedia? 8)

Funny, because I see Thain as a pretty villainous character - mainly due to my interactions with him - and Jonsu as a very well tempered and non-villainous character (even though she's marrying Sevastian.)

I will take that as a compliment of Jonsu's abilities.

I'll refrain from commenting on Jonsu.

I know he's not on Dwilight... and I guess it's ancient history by now... but I'll always remember Doc, on EC, as a particularly villanous villain.

And I'm sad Hireshmont I hasn't gotten a mention. :(

For the short while my character Dimian interacted with Hireshmont, I wouldn't have considered him a villain. Perhaps I didn't know all the things he did before and after, but he seemed like a pretty typical character.  Definitely more devious and well-spoken than the rest, but nothing especially villainous.

In his later days, Hireshmont started to clean up his act a little more... but no, he was a villain nearly to the end. Though I was mostly more thinking of his younger days on EC.

Oh, wait, no– I know a villain!

Delvin Anaris. The most vile and conniving villain I have ever encountered in BM.

Take that Tim. You villain.

Can we talk about Dwilight villians only? I think this thread would be better in general discussion. 

Garrett Artemesia was a villian in my opinion. A man who shunned his fellow man to work with Daimons. Haruka of the Saxon Thulsoma was also a villian. There has to be more.
