Because why choose between "suave hero" and "muffins with fresh baby uvula"?
Also love Jakabok Botch from Clive Barker's Mister B. Gone. A tragic villain in deep denial about his homosexuality who wishes he could be a good person, but just can't give up the luxury of bathing in infants' blood.
Having studied both of those I have to agree; their characterization is pretty awesome.Dfskelleton said:Mephistopheles from the Faust legend.
He's a despicable agent of Satan who exists solely for the corruption of souls, but he's completely blunt about it. He's no deceiver or trickster; he straight up tells Faust "Look, I can grant you whatever you desire on this earth, but at some point, you're going to burn agonizingly in Hell for all eternity with no hope of redemption. You are flat out selling me your soul. Are you alright with that? May I remind you that Hell really, really sucks?"
And then Faust agrees. Brilliant.
Not only is he straightforward, but he's also quite the gentleman. And I have to say...
Dat outfit...
Also, the characterization of Satan in Paradise Lost was phenomenal. He lures you in with this seemingly tragic backstory, this facade that he's been mistreated by a tyrannical God, and he gives these rallying, powerful speeches, but by the end, you'll realize that he's an irrational, self-righteous lunatic, who didn't even have a good reason before he tried to kill the omnipotent creator of the universe using military force alone. It was very well executed, you just have to be careful how you talk about it. Going around saying "Yeah, Satan is really great." is a recipe for disaster. Especially if you're a Christian.
I have a spot for Chauncy, too. Monstrous thing with a wicked-looking beak, and he pulls out library specs from nowhere. I would've loved to see more of him.Forobryt said:

Tobi
Tobi was an enemy, a gatekeeper you had to race in order to progress, but that didn't mean he couldn't be a good sport.
Fairwell Tobi, you were a scholar and a gentleman.
I was just thinking about Samael. I always liked how the demons in Darksiders weren't so much 'evil' as 'grossly self-interested', so much so the Sam would get locked away for simply trying to gain more power. Then I thought about the only person who looked at the end of the world and though "I can make a profit out of this".ChanTheNoob said:Samael from Darksiders, just because he was so powerful that he was imprisoned so he wouldn't take over hell and ruin Lucifer's day.
He is also coincidently the only demon I can actually remember from anything, so there's that.
Fuck. You ninja'd me almost word for word. He might just be a monster, but he certainly acts like some sort of gluttony demon, at least going by the murals in his feast room.Jacques Joseph said:
