I was writing a one-shot of SL-9 from Lana's perspective and it just hit me how awful Damon Gant was.
I can't decide if he tops Dahlia though...
And then there's
Spoiler: Apollo Justice
Kristoph


So what do you guys think?

Redd, Manfred, Gant, Morgan, Mimi, Dahlia or Kristoph...

Well, it would be my top 7 :P

Maybe Dollie is the most evil one.

Matt for sure. And Morgan's right up there.

But Kristoph's not a great or really evil villlain. He's just a paranoid fool

Yeah, no one can top Dahlia. She's killed more people than anyone else; twice as many as the next person with the most kills (von Karma, Kristoph, and in a sense Morgan, not including the 14 patients from 2-2). Plus she stole $2000000.


Gant was pretty bad, but Dahlia really tops in him every way. von Karma was just an idiotic perfectionist. Matt was a stupid sociopath who really wasn't that bad (not any worse than anyone else who hired De Killer), and Kristoph is just a psycho who went insane because Zak is a jerk. Morgan is probably second, but Dahlia just did more.

:eh?:

Spoiler: Bodycount, entire series
Dahlia - Valerie and Doug
Gant - Neil and Goodman
Kristoph - Zak and Drew
Darke - Five people
de Killer - Countless people
Manfred - Gregory and if we're counting indirectly, all the people he had found guilty through forged evidence


To address the topic at hand, Manfred is the worst. Petty motive is petty, and DL-6 directly or indirectly ruined the lives of like half the PW cast.

Kristoph went insane because Zak was a jerk, and he became a jerk because Valant was a jerk, and he became a jerk because Magnifi was a jerk. <_<

and Matt was pretty bad. You have to take into account everything involving Celeste, Adrian, and Juan.

Spoiler:
Von karma is a lot of things, buts he's not stupid. At least his first murder worked. I'd consider Gant the smartest and evilest villain, only because he thought of a nearly full proof evil plan in about 5 seconds, actually directly killed both Goodman and Neil, and if he had let some blood get on that cloth, he'd have gotten away with all of it.

Good thing Pearl didn't channel him, eh?

I wouldn't say evil for almost all of them. Most of them did have other views which I can see...

Spoiler: Save your eyes!
Dahlia - I have to admit that she doesn't have a shred of humanity left in her but I do pity her rather than see her as a complete evil. Yes, she did murder Doug including her step-sister and indirectly caused the death of Terry. But I also see another side in which maybe this wouldn't have happened if her upbringing didn't caused this. I have to say that she's a fallen angel twisted to become evil in order to gain some satisfaction in her ruined life already.

Kristoph - maybe this one is one I can't sympathise a lot. He was petty in his quest to become that hot-shot in the defence attorney. But for all his scheming, I don't see as much reason to brand him as evil. Schizophrenic is probably the only word that describes him best. So much work just for it to bite him back in the arse...

Gant - I would probably classify him a true evil in league with von Karma. He nearly gotten away with murder and leading the blame on Lana. He nearly outsmarted everyone had it not been his stupid mouth. XD

Well, to me, it's Gant.

Honestly, you can't get worse then him. He coldheartedly killed his co-worker Prosecutor Marshall, with the only reason being to fulfill his nasty scheme to take over the city's police department.

To me, the fact that he didn't even plan to kill Marshall in the first place, but instead just killed him because he saw it fit to fulfill his goal, makes him the number one douchebag villain in the game.

And I didn't mention all the other stuff he did.

Defining villains for my purposes:

All the killers.
The triggermen and other accomplices employed by the killers.
Several of the witnesses, ancillary characters, or even victims whose malfeasance directly lead to the crimes. (For victims I'm thinking mostly of Pal Meraktis and Kane Bullard. Though Juan Corrida is pretty high on the list, too.)

The list becomes pretty long, but it's easily pared to 5 - all killers - by filtering for pure coldbloodedness:

Damon Gant
Manfred von Karma
Matt Engarde
Dahlia Hawthorne
Kristoph Gavin

Though Morgan gets a few extra points for using Pearls in her second crime. And Shelly de Killer gets a special shout out as a pro, but is DQ'd just because he'd take all of the fun out of this by winning hands down.

Matt, with only one kill and one kidnapping, both through an intermediary, drops off for wimpiness - all the others have at least 2 kills, at least one committed by their own hands, and one or more other crimes to their name.

Deciding between them gets harder. Manny, Kris and Damon all committed their crimes to improve their standing in the justice system - and in Kris's case, his brother's when circumstances changed so that he wouldn't benefit personally (thereby making Klavier and unwitting accomplice). Dollie at least kept her victims down to the direct victims of her crimes, unlike the above, who perverted the justice system, making victims of everyone within their jurisdiction.

On the other hand, Dollie did use the fact that people loved her to her advantage - Nick, Terry, and Iris, specifically - making it more of a personal betrayal of trust than the slightly abstract betrayal the other 3 committed.

On this wave of cuts, I have to cut Kris, as distasteful as I find the man - he's worse that Matt, and I think he's as bad as Manfred on a personal level, but compared to the others on a level of sheer criminal behaviour, he's small potatoes.

Manfred, Gant, and Dahlia, then...

Damon Gant, you lucky SOB, you get cut this round...because we come back to the personal betrayal issue - Manny framed his own protégé! (Who it's not unlikely he took on as a protégé just to do that to him.) Damon betraying his own accomplice isn't nearly as major, especially as it wasn't planned that way. Although Manny loses some points by acting through Yanni Yogi on the second killing, the fact that he intended for Edgy to be convicted for it gets them back.

Manny and Dollie... Manny and Dollie...

I think, when I weigh the monstrousness of the crimes committed, Manfred wins, though Dahlia is the more loathsome person.

Dahlia - Valerie and Doug


You forgot two - Terry (though he 'pulled the trigger' on himself, it was at Dahlia's insistence), and Diego - though it took years for him to actually DIE, it put him into a coma, and he did eventually die from it (again, likely taking the final killing stroke himself by ending his treatments, but that doesn't absolve her). If she hadn't killed Diego, she wouldn't have killed Doug. Also, she was partially responsible for Misty Fey's death, during her attempt to kill Maya.

No I didn't.

Terry - Debatable. Although it's pretty terrible to tell someone who's probably mentally handicapped to kill himself, that's all she did. She didn't force him into it.
Diego - We don't even know for certain whether he's dead or not, and if he is because he decided to end his treatment, that's his decision.
Misty - No. That was all Godot.

All of those people died because of Dahlia's actions, Misty being the only one who wasn't directly so - absolving her because she didn't pour the poison down Terry's throat, or tell Godot to stop taking the treatments he needed to live, and Misty was an accidental victim of her actions has no legal or moral basis.

She killed Terry as surely as she killed Doug - and as knowingly. She wouldn't have told him to kill himself if she didn't know he would. She's too calculating for that - it would be showing her true face to someone who might actually realize it.

She poisoned Diego, putting him into a coma for 6 years, and when he came out of the coma, it required exceptional care to keep him alive - that he didn't finally kick the bucket until he'd finished what he started, and stopped the extraordinary care does not take his death off her hands.

And Misty died only because of Dahlia's attempt to kill Maya. It's far from 'all Godot' - Dahlia, Morgan, Misty, Godot, and Iris all had active roles in what happened - Dahlia and Morgan planned to kill Maya, while Misty, Godot, and Iris worked out the extremely stupid plan to stop that, which lead to Misty's death. Bikini, Nick, Maya, and Pearls are the only ones involved in the case who aren't responsible in some way for Misty's death. Dahlia isn't directly responsible for Misty's death, but she is indirectly responsible in the same way as Morgan, or the same way Pal Meraktis and Kane Bullard are indirectly responsible for their own deaths - it happened as a direct result of her crimes.

I was talking more along the lines of directly killing people. If you want to blame people for deaths that happened indirectly because of their actions, then Manfred von Karma is ultimately responsible for something like half the deaths in the PW arc by causing the DL-6 incident, including those deaths credited to Morgan and Dahlia.

I think the most evil is Dahlia because

-She killed Valerie, Doug and Terry(indirectly)
-Poisoned Diego
-Attempted to kill(and frame)Phoenix for that necklace
-Mentally scarred Mia
-Comes back from the dead, and attempts to kill Maya
-Forces Godot to kill Misty

Damn, she just never gives up til confronting Mia again.

Hm...that's a good question. The murderers in the final cases in each game are usually extremely evil...
I have to re-play them all before I can say. I'll put a filler in for now and say Dahlia. She was crazy.
