My favorite evil person of all time is in the Coldfire Trilogy
The Neocount of Merentha, the Prophet of the Church for Human Unification on Erna. He was a visionary, an individual who sought more adamant uses of the Fae to tame the planet, which was contrary to the Church's primary goal of rendering humans null to the Fae. He sacrifices his humanity to gain untold control over the Fae by murdering his wife and children in a dark ritual. Thus was born the Hunter.
The Hunter is an Adept with unfathomable capability and power. In the sacrifice he gained a control over the Fae no man had ever dared dream of before. Not only can he control the Earth Fae with ease, he can now utilize the elusive and tantalizing Dark Fae, with which he can perform the most arcane and dark of Workings.
He is smart, charismatic, driven, pragmatic, and horribly horribly evil person who killed his family to seal a pact with an unknown horror to gain power. Hes a bit aloof as hes traveling with a member of the church he once ran, but that member is kind of an outcast from it in his own way. Its fascinating. But im not constantly rolling my eyes wondering why theyre such jerks to one another - not to say its without jabs at all, but generally amicable as they have a shared goal. Brilliant series, great characters. I hate petty, which is what most evil turns into. Its petty.
