I think Frank would've been a much better villain if we got to see the internal conflict of a mutant working for the Enclave. Like his "time to die mutie" line is so iconic to me, not because it's so badass but because it's almost sad that this guy is so delusional that he really thinks *you're* the mutant. Would've loved a scene where Frank realizes *he* would be killed by the Enclave's FEV plan as well, but he's still so brainwashed he doesn't stop working for them.
Agreed, especially because the ticking clock of his usefulness is so close. The Enclave only would need him to clean up the few survivors of the virus before he's the only mutant left.
Well the FEV did what it intended to him evolved him perfectly he got bigger,stronger,faster and maybe smarter(probably still the same intelligence as before)but he calls you a mutie because he evolved and is practically a cyborg but God bless the enclave🗣🇺🇸
*ANDUIN: D-F Tier.* 1. Fails to kill, subdue or try to turn the Player or anyone else to his side from the games start to finish. 2. Never tries to attack or sabotage the player while they are questing to defeat him before we aquire the means to defeat him. 3. Destroys 1 town nobody cares about and never does anything to personally wrong the Player. In-fact he actually saved the Players life at the start of the game, sealing his own fate. 4. Faces the Player only after they gain the power to defeat him and loses so spectacularly he loses whatever tenuous respect he once had amongst other Dargons. 5. His Army of Dragons are weak and unorganized, with no cooperation or plan what-so-ever. 6. After his first defeat, he retreats to the one place he can finally be killed once and for all, not considering that he could be followed. He is then betrayed by one of his own Luitenants(the second time it has happened) who then brings the Player to where Anduin can be killed. 7. His goals are inconsistant or even completely non-existant. Does he want to enslave the world or destroy it? He bounces between both these goals constantly. 8. Overhyped. Talks big but is as weak as any other Dragon. 9. One of the oldest, possibly THE oldest, Dragon in history, and yet only knows about 6 Shouts and only uses 3 in combat. 10. Cannot damage three dead Heroes he effortlesly defeated when they were alive and at their prime. 11. No personality. Had no discernable motives besides his actions simply being in his nature.
Skullkid did actually come back! Kinda. It's heavily hinted that he's who leads Link to the Master Sword, which is cute because he considered MM Link to be his friend by the end, and TP Link is the other Link's descendant.

Lich King is one of the reasons for the entire plot of Warcraft 3 and probably even WoW up until end of Shadowlands, where the players finally for the last time defeat Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner. From his beginning as Ner'Zhul, the sinister Orc Shaman who dealt with more power than he can handle, up to the end of Shadowlands, there is so much lore, so many events that happened, because he did something at some point in time.
I wouldn't describe Ner'zhul as sinister while he was alive. Poor guy was manipulated from before the Horde even started, with demons pretending to be his dead mate, and some old guy, who just stumbled into town one day, and said "Draenei destroyed my village, lmao." Sure, somewhere down the line, he lost it, but starting out, he was bullied by Gul'dan, and Kil'jaeden.
Ner'Zhul wasn't necessarily intentionally evil . He thought he was communing with his spirit ancestors when in reality he was being manipulated by the burning legion, pretty much broke him to the point where he did as he was told until he had the power to strike back at the demons who tricked him.
Gotta do Caesar from New Vegas if you’re looking for a good Fall Out Villian. I feel is a character that depending on your playthrough can be an insane madman, a brilliant revolutionary, or a smart fool drunk on his own hubris taking storm across the wastes.
I feel like mr house is an even better villain because everything he says makes so much sense that he ends up seeming like the best fit for the wasteland as a complete 3rd party. I chose him in the game so I don’t really consider him a villain but if you pick any other route he is so he would fit in the category of villains
Dude I’ve been watching your villianpedias for so long and I absolutely love them so much! Your analysis on the Master is still by far my most favorite! If there’s a villainpedia I would LOVE To see is one on Ocelot from the Metal Gear series because of how much in control and a big factor he was through out the entire series.
ghost ik its been awhile but never stop. i never really watch tier vids but, im watching em rn bc i need an intravenous injection of ghostcharm. ur vids are what get me goin or get me to sleep u remind me of me and its awesome dawg ur my by far my favorite loretuber the only reccomendation i could give a great like u is that me personally i prefer ur character analysis videos like van cleef and dagoth ur or something like that even this vid matches the bill ur a great content creator never forget it
a little side note ur fallout vids are also my fav i cant pick just onue but if i had to itd be dagoth frank or van cleef ur a great youtuber dawg i hoppe thise inspires u
Agree about Aldiun, he just gives off Goth Dragon vibes. Andrew Ryan and Robert House have truly captured the Handsome Buisness Guy who is Up To Something corner. Agree about Miraak. Its pretty awkward that the daedric god feels more present than him. Bonus points to Mora because of the Discerning the Transmundane quest.
S tier I am very pleased with. Mainly because the characters are just that fun and interesting to learn about. I might have to say Gladi0s might be my favorite as well, with Lich King and Andrew Ryan coming in close. The only other thing I have to say is that Tom Nook ain’t so bad compared to Blathers. That bird manipulates you into kidnapping animals just to display them like a circus show!
You talk to me about villain dragons, i instantly go into Gregori, from Dragon's Dogma. The voice, the size, the power, the cinematics, the lore, the tragedy of the cycle. I love it.
Love your vids. So happy to see you’re still making them. I get spoiled by the other creators who pump out a new one every week but it’s worth it to wait for the S tier content.
Ideas for two Villainpedia entries: "William Afton" and "Pizzahead" William Afton - FNaF Franchise : self explanatory, can cover their other forms (springtrap, burntrap etc.) Pizzahead - Pizza Tower: a silly entry, but the main reason why the game even starts.
I actually really liked where the list ended up and mainly agree. The only difference is that I probably would’ve kept Dark Link in C as a base for the scale of good villains vs not so great. He’d be smack dab in the middle above The Devil as the bare minimum for a villain: aside from the cool fact that he can show up at any time and present a massive obstacle, Dark Link doesn’t have any agency or plans for the world at large, he is simply diametrically opposed to Link. He is evil simply because Link is good and only a villain because he is trying to stand in Link’s way as his dark half. Anyone above him is a well written villain with nuanced writing and a larger plan at play, anyone below him would either be a poorly written character or not much of a villain in the traditional sense. Great video Ghost!
I'd like to see three videos from you for this series: Sarevok from Baldur's Gate 1 Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Awm Amelyssan the Blackhearted from Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal Great video. I love the series and all your videos. Hope to see more.
Given one interpretation of Majora's Mask, that it's all a manifestation of the Happy Mask Salesman's insecurities and the masks he puts on, Majora can become a top tier villain just based on how psychological it all is. I mean really, HMS is at the bottom of a clocktower which, at the end of the game, connects to and (metaphorically) pierces the moon, then transforms into the tree of Samsara. Then childish versions of himself dance around it wearing the masks of the dungeon bosses who themselves are based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Which if you didn't know share a cycle that is eerily similar to the grief cycle i.e. the cycle of revelation. Which is half the reason why the interpretation that 'Link is dead' rings so true to people. Yet people have the audacity to say the game is about Link even with that imagery. Nobody makes the better case for the HMS and what he really is/represents. It would make a great video IMO. It goes from game theory to 'hold on a minute, I think you're right'.
> I loved this 40-min long casual vid, Ghost. It’s great to hear you actively work through and justify your ranks. I’m super excited for the next season! > For my villain request, I would beg you to please spend some time learning about Emet Selch from FFXIV. He quickly rose to a spot of fame and love within the FFXIV community after the 3rd and 4th expansion. His aesthetic, personality, voice acting, highly original backstory, very unique associated homeland, internal conflict with other villains, and love/hate relationship with the hero(s) has cemented him an all-time favorite Final Fantasy villain…and that’s saying something for that series!!
I honestly think that you should review chef saltbaker, hes an arguably better villan than the devil and a wonderful twist villan, the hints for him being a villan are subtle how he mention it takes a "heart and soul" to bake the wondertart when he actually means that in a litteral sense, hes such a big kind friendly looking chef that you would not expect him to turn evil, the whole scene of him having this insane deranged look while holding a knife looking like a slasher villan, how he explains he wants to essentially rule the world by taking control of the astral plane and essentially becoming a GOD (totally not a refrence to every final fantasy final boss which i love) and throughout the fight you see how psychotic he is, how he chops up limes, how he creates cookies out of the dough, how he breaks a sugar cube apart and squeezes the strawberries (which we can just pretend are guts) out of the strawberry basket. the way he just does things with that classic villanous and evil smile that looks insanely simmilar to that villan from pinnochio gives off the feeling of a fucking disney villan, he screams underatted disney villan to me, every part of the phase is just so well animated and done, from how he grows big, to how it straight up ends up with you fighting giant salt tornados with all kinds of scary mad faces moving around the tornados. the visual design of this character is off the charts. the best part is that even if you figure out hes the twist villan you dont expect him to be this insane and brutal especially in an innocent game like cuphead, even if theres no blood this dude wants to commit MURDER out of pure AMBITION just to rule the astral place, and his music is insanely good. he is a high S tier for me, even if hes not a very complex villan, hes by far a lot more of a terrifying presence then the devil and reminds me so much of how much I love disney villans, their big evil grins, their mischiveous plots that are actually a lot more horrific if you think about them. they made a big goofy saltshaker into a disney villan. you would defineatly see him at least higher then the devil
Would love to see videos on Sovereign from Mass Effect and The Gravemind from Halo. They’re both similar to The Master in how they seek to assimilate all life into a greater being, but they all have different motivations.
I found out about Ghostcharm from a friend who loved the Arthas videos, but my favorite villain on this list has to be The Master. To be transformed into a grotesque amalgam of machine and flesh but with enough charisma and ambition to be called the Father of Hope by his followers as he ushers mankind into its next evolutionary phase is such great writing from Interplay. And if you want more classic Fallout-style writing I'd recommend the Wasteland series, written by Brian Fargo, one of Interplay's founders. I think Cochise and Saul Buchanan would make great Villainpedia entries!
You did right by me by giving Vancleef the respect he deserves, but I think it's a shame to talk about him without giving a mention to his legacy in his daughter, Vanessa. For those that don't know, in that little alcove Vancleef is first found in, after you kill him and take his dead as proof of death, many years later in the game you can revisit a memory of that scene. After all the defias thugs and adventurers are gone, a lone little girl, Edwin's daughter, stumbles out of the alcove to find her decapitated father, falling to her knees as she mournfully whispers his name. Many years later, a now adult Vanessa has been working as the shadowy figurehead of her father's gang for a few years, while positioning herself inside her opposition's stronghold as a simple orphan girl, "Hope". Things come to a head, and eventually she manages to get the upper hand on *everyone*. Your character, the guards, the militia, the captain. Everybody is at the mercy of Vancleef's daughter. Instead of taking her revenge and cutting you all down, she instead chooses to burn the place to the ground, sparing the lives of her and her father's enemies while halting any progress being made against her cause. I find Vanessa to be an unbelieve ably important part of Edwin's story and does so much to boost the reputation and legacy of his character.
As disappointing as Alduin is, I feel like he is still decent as a figure-head for the rest of the dragons and the dragon-cult in general. The rest of the faction aside from him and of course its lore *IS* pretty cool even if Miraak is definitly the best villain coming out of it.
I really appreciate your content, Ghost! To answer your questions; In my opinion, the GlaDOS video is the best Villainpedia on the channel. I felt like you had a lot of interesting things to say about her, and it warranted being the longest Villainpedia entry. As for the weakest videos, I'd have to say just the ones for games I haven't played: Fable, Warcraft, Legend of Zelda, Mario. As for Villains I'd like to see covered, it would be cool to see one of the villains from Fallout New Vegas, such as Father Elijah, Caesar, or Ulysses. None of them match The Master of Horrigan, but they are probably the best villains in the Bethesda era of Fallout. Another suggestion would be either Ballas or The Man in the Wall from Warframe, although I'm not sure you're familiar with that game and you don't really get exposed to the real lore until like 150 hours in, so it might be hard to research.
Hi Ghostcharm, I am one of your fans who really enjoys your content ever since my first strike stumbling onto your video on Dagoth Ur about a year ago. I might not be one of your original fans but I really liked the way you covered characters in such detail while making some quick jokes here and there and it really made me happy to see your channel start to grow. I know my comment might not be seen but you have asked about character suggestions before and I’ll leave mine here if you decide to read the comments. I’m a huge fan of the warhammer 40k universe and while I’m pretty sure you know nothing about the universe of warhammer 40k I feel like you would really enjoy it if you decided to give it a quick look. When you are thinking about a character to cover I would strongly recommend creating a video on The Emperor Of Mankind for a heropedia entry. His tale is one of hope power and disaster that would make for some very interesting content for your channel. Thanks man, really love your content!
I love Patches but you are right, he is more like a chaotic neutral force than a villain. Love that guy so much, everytime i see his bald head, i would just think how he fucks me up this time
Ever do a video on SHODAN? The System Shock games were incredibly influential (play system shock 2 and then play bioshock, you’ll see what I mean), and SHODAN was a huge part of what made those games so good. The voice acting was incredible and you just loathe her as much as she loathes you by the end
FromSoft games can have cut and dry morality. In Metal Wolf Chaos, President Michael Wilson is absolutely the good guy and VP Richard Hawk is absolutely the villain and a threat to America.
Love your videos man! Such great looks into characters and places. I still put your M'aiq video on from time to time in the background, keep up the good work :]
I swear my favorite video game/visual novel villain has to be Beatrice from Umineko, she is S-tier in my opinion, she is the perfect tragic villain who is both the villain and the victim of Umineko, she is both hilarious and camp but also tragic and sad once you learn what she is.
An earlier upload than expected. Very pleased, I love tier lists and I love your videoed. What an awesome way to wrap up basically the first season of the villainpedia. Hope to see you do more of this with future seasons and your other shows.
I really like the fact that frank horrison was put on B tier. Like, he is a amazing representation of the ABSOLUTE UNIT trope, that is a faceless monster that poses a huge threat to the protagonist. But thats it... He doesn't have a face. This type of villan is great beacuse he is without a shadow of a doubt, B tier. He's just doing his job.
Honestly I feel like he is such a perfect representation of the trope that I would put him in A tier. I would keep him from S because he doesn’t have much presence throughout most of the game but as a villain he just feels so threatening and is an amazing shattering of your expectations after the master in the last game with frank being the only main villain in the series you can’t talk down
I have some villainpedia ideas: Pontiff Sulyvahn ( Dark Souls 3 ) Giovanni ( Pokémon ) Ganondorf/Ganon ( The Legend Of Zelda ) Pate and Creighton ( Dark Souls 2 )
The problem The Master had was probably impossible to handle. The problem is that the FEV makes haploid cells diploid. It does so because these cells don't match the rest of the body. To stop it would stop the FEV from repairing cells and make it useless.
Funnily enough skull kid Is in Twilight princess! Well, A skullkid (we don't know which One)Is in Twilight princess, and guides you in the forbidden Woods while pretending to be an enemy on the notes of saria's song
I think the biggest failing in all of World of Warcraft was their need to constantly go bigger and bigger with their villains. We went from the squabbles of kingdoms to battling the very entities responsible for the cycle of life and death. It became the Warcraft Cinematic Universe. And all those hundreds of zones on Azeroth with their compelling stories were left in a perpetual state of half complete. DF took a decent step back, but they couldn't help themselves from having another world ending event, another existential threat to everyone. Such a shame to see my favourite game for so long wither away.
Suggestions for future villainpedia: Metal Gear villains (The Patriots AI, Liquid, Solidus, Senator Armstrong), SHODAN and The Many from System Shock, Sephiroth and Kefka from Final Fantasy. And Urza, Yawgmoth, Nicol Bolas from Magic TG.
For the Nintendo villains, I think the only ones that rival Skull Kid are Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario or (possibly) Ghetsis from the 5th Gen Pokemon Games, but that Last one is a Stretch since the Game only hints at the amazing Backstory during the Main Game
I feel like there could be separate videos on big boss, ocelot, solidus, the patriot ai, the boss, and senator Armstrong and those are just the absolute best villains of the series
The whole story of Arthas from the start to end which started in 2002 in rts game and ended in 2009 where you have to go with group of people at the grandest boss arena in mmo online game is just 11/10 most perfect experience in my life.
This was a fun change of pace! I know you said this will not be a regular thing on the channel, but I think one of these for the Heropedia would be well-received. Idk if it’s worth a full Villainpedia entry, but one of my most hated villains from my childhood was Eric Sparrow from Tony Hawk’s Underground. He’s such a little b**** throughout, yet always manages to be one step ahead, and the initial betrayal made my blood boil. Not at all what I expected from a Tony Hawk game!
Ghostcharm trying to say the most villainous thing Waluigi did was mess with tennis. Did Ghostcharm even play the Dance Dance Revolution Mario Game where Waluigi's actions start the entire game by him stealing something to make him a better dancer. (yeah it's a wierd game) Wario on the otherhand has done more evil shit than Waluigi.
Love your vids so much man! Thanks for your hard work, I absolutely adore this series! One villain that I would recommend could be Dr. Breen, I think that how he interacts with the Combine as an uneasy ally and how he could be looked at as a hero or a villain depending on how you look at him could be very interesting to see in video form
37:16 Moment you start dwelling towards one Mario character named Rosalina man, her backstory and lore is sad I give quick summary what happened in her backstory She disappeared from her universe Mushroom kingdom where Mario who is left to rule the land People want to think that it Luigi who would be her Father but no, it is Mario For what happened to till that moment we have pieced little things what happened between Mario's and Bowser's Last encounter, It seemed that Mario was losing and Luigi sacrificed himself to save his brother, Mario defeated Bowser once and for all but for heavy cost, Daisy cut all connections for Mushroom kingdom, Mario inherited Luigi's enormous amount of wealth and mansion (Luigi is the RICHEST person in Mario universe, this can be pieced by years of lore what have collected over time, mansion is same mansion at Luigi's Mansion what he exorcised) Mario of course keep one of his late brother's telescope as his irreplaceable memento But this is not last bad thing to happen to Mario, Mario and Peach got married and after Peach bore Rosalina, Peach encountered something that bringed her early demise (this is unknown by what) Mario buried Peach under their Favorite spot right near the Mansion after few years later, Mario even thou doing his best to be King of Mushroom kingdom, he didnt have that much time to spare for his daughter Rosalina where then story from her book in Super Mario Galaxy takes off and explains minor things Yea, Mario in different universe had bad things to happen to him but why this wont happen in Mainline series? Simple, They need easy to follow happy story but it doesnt mean all good things can happen in different universes
Bloodborne Patches is S tier. Bastard pushed me in slow poison goop and I wandered into a winter lantern and I gave up on getting my blood echoes back. As soon as I found him in the nightmare lecture hall I killed him dead.
I think Dr. Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank deserved a video. Hes iconic in the series and changes a lot through his appearences. Maybe even Chariman Drek from the original game, as I feel his motives are honestly pretty evil.
Awesome video! 2 Villains i'd love to see in a Villainpedia would be 1- ELOHIM from Talos Principle 2- Caesar from Fallout New Vegas. Both are so philosophy heavy that they would make a great video.
@@Badookumeh I felt like mr house was definitely a better villain because he is a lot more reasonable. I chose him when I played so I wouldn’t even consider him a villain but if you chose any other route he is
About frank horrigan his character represents the horror science can make a 13ft tall monster who can punch people in half he isn’t the main villain of fallout 2 instead he is a character meant to in body the enclave a monstrous machine of scientific engineering which lacks any morals but that’s just what I like to think any way love the video
Yeah it’s insane how many great villains that series has. Though hot take for a second I think liquid is easily one of the weakest antagonists in the series and think nearly every other metal gear game introduces a better villain. He isn’t even the best villain in his own game when ocelot is introduced in it
DARK LINK IS C/D TIER AND YOU KNOW IT. People will remove my skin for this but whatever. He's inherently cool and mysterious, OOT boss fight is so sick. BUT he could be SO much more with any story besides the "oh neat" interpritable backstory in twilight princess. Heres to hoping he gets his time in the limedark someday
Towards the end, you said the Mario games are soft on villainy, and while for the mainline games that may be true, the RPGs have some truly horrible villains. Dimentio from Super Paper Mario is one of my favorites just because he's so downright evil and deceitful. He's also great because he all but successfully accomplishes his goals until the very very end. Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series is also a similar archetype to Dimentio, but his lowkey, lurking presence makes him a different kind of treacherous, and he's always fun and surprisingly threatening when he's on screen. I recommend both of them for episodes.
As a huge fan of the souls series, I may be biased, but I think Patches is one of the best written characters in the Souls series, especially Dark Souls 3. In DS3, he has a sense of morality, he cares for Greirat, he only hurts you because at the end of the day, he sees your acts as foolish and greedy. And in DS1 he despises clerics for their “Holier than thou” attitude. He’s not much of a villain, but a great character if you ask me.
Should definitely do a Villainpedia on Handsome Jack! He's personally my favorite villain OAT and I feel like he would definitely wind up being one of yours as well.
All that talk about Alduin sent my gears turning. Wild thought, but I THINK "Chims" are in Elder Scrolls, right? The fellas who really run the show. The world in which they "live" is actually all just a creation of their imagination, and they're fully aware of that. So what if there were a BBEG for a future installment of that series who was, indeed, the ruling Chim of that reality? They've spent ages doing this. Twisting ethics. Rearranging the status quo. Shuffling politics. Bamboozling genetics. They do it so well that it's second nature without even an iota of doubt. Your endgame goal is -- in a sort of progressive quasi-sandbox RPG way -- to wreak enough havoc and counter enough "truths" of the world that this Chim eventually begins to question their own absolution, all for your own ultimate ideal of just rending this world unto itself and making it cease to exist via said Chim's own insecurity-driven insanity
I don't know what "Chims" are but "Chim" is the "breaking of the fourth wall" like realizing that they are not real and thus can do whatever. I don't think any in lore character has reached chim, maybe some have used it but that's dubious at best. Basically chim is like the player using the console to do whatever. I guess you might be referring to the Godhead but that's not an antagonist since everything in the universe is that dudes dreams. Or it's basically Todd Howard/Bethesda.
Strangely funny seeing that Alduin, the world eating dragon has ranked to be as infamous as a villain as a debt collecting capitalist Raccoon.
Someon should make fan arts of them being a duo together. Like Doomguy and Isabella.

Agreed, especially because the ticking clock of his usefulness is so close. The Enclave only would need him to clean up the few survivors of the virus before he's the only mutant left.
Dude would probably embrace his own elimination as "His final mission".

Alduin and Dark Link are two sides of the same coin.
Alduin: All the plot and backstory
Dark Link: All the execution
Very true
Skullkid did actually come back! Kinda. It's heavily hinted that he's who leads Link to the Master Sword, which is cute because he considered MM Link to be his friend by the end, and TP Link is the other Link's descendant.

Lich King is one of the reasons for the entire plot of Warcraft 3 and probably even WoW up until end of Shadowlands, where the players finally for the last time defeat Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner.
From his beginning as Ner'Zhul, the sinister Orc Shaman who dealt with more power than he can handle, up to the end of Shadowlands, there is so much lore, so many events that happened, because he did something at some point in time.
I wouldn't describe Ner'zhul as sinister while he was alive. Poor guy was manipulated from before the Horde even started, with demons pretending to be his dead mate, and some old guy, who just stumbled into town one day, and said "Draenei destroyed my village, lmao." Sure, somewhere down the line, he lost it, but starting out, he was bullied by Gul'dan, and Kil'jaeden.
Ner'Zhul wasn't necessarily intentionally evil . He thought he was communing with his spirit ancestors when in reality he was being manipulated by the burning legion, pretty much broke him to the point where he did as he was told until he had the power to strike back at the demons who tricked him.
Gotta do Caesar from New Vegas if you’re looking for a good Fall Out Villian. I feel is a character that depending on your playthrough can be an insane madman, a brilliant revolutionary, or a smart fool drunk on his own hubris taking storm across the wastes.

If there’s a villainpedia I would LOVE To see is one on Ocelot from the Metal Gear series because of how much in control and a big factor he was through out the entire series.
Agreed!
ghost ik its been awhile but never stop. i never really watch tier vids but, im watching em rn bc i need an intravenous injection of ghostcharm. ur vids are what get me goin or get me to sleep u remind me of me and its awesome dawg ur my by far my favorite loretuber the only reccomendation i could give a great like u is that me personally i prefer ur character analysis videos like van cleef and dagoth ur or something like that even this vid matches the bill ur a great content creator never forget it
a little side note ur fallout vids are also my fav i cant pick just onue but if i had to itd be dagoth frank or van cleef ur a great youtuber dawg i hoppe thise inspires u
Prophet of truth would make for an excellent video of villainpedia
Agree about Aldiun, he just gives off Goth Dragon vibes. Andrew Ryan and Robert House have truly captured the Handsome Buisness Guy who is Up To Something corner. Agree about Miraak. Its pretty awkward that the daedric god feels more present than him. Bonus points to Mora because of the Discerning the Transmundane quest.
Going to need some Handsome Jack for season 2
S tier I am very pleased with. Mainly because the characters are just that fun and interesting to learn about. I might have to say Gladi0s might be my favorite as well, with Lich King and Andrew Ryan coming in close.
The only other thing I have to say is that Tom Nook ain’t so bad compared to Blathers. That bird manipulates you into kidnapping animals just to display them like a circus show!
You talk to me about villain dragons, i instantly go into Gregori, from Dragon's Dogma. The voice, the size, the power, the cinematics, the lore, the tragedy of the cycle. I love it.
Yes!!! I love Grigori, he def needs a villainpedia
Love your vids. So happy to see you’re still making them. I get spoiled by the other creators who pump out a new one every week but it’s worth it to wait for the S tier content.
Ideas for two Villainpedia entries: "William Afton" and "Pizzahead"
William Afton - FNaF Franchise : self explanatory, can cover their other forms (springtrap, burntrap etc.)
Pizzahead - Pizza Tower: a silly entry, but the main reason why the game even starts.
I actually really liked where the list ended up and mainly agree. The only difference is that I probably would’ve kept Dark Link in C as a base for the scale of good villains vs not so great. He’d be smack dab in the middle above The Devil as the bare minimum for a villain: aside from the cool fact that he can show up at any time and present a massive obstacle, Dark Link doesn’t have any agency or plans for the world at large, he is simply diametrically opposed to Link. He is evil simply because Link is good and only a villain because he is trying to stand in Link’s way as his dark half. Anyone above him is a well written villain with nuanced writing and a larger plan at play, anyone below him would either be a poorly written character or not much of a villain in the traditional sense. Great video Ghost!
There must always be a S Tier King.
I'd like to see three videos from you for this series:
Sarevok from Baldur's Gate 1
Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Awm
Amelyssan the Blackhearted from Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
Great video. I love the series and all your videos. Hope to see more.
Need a Villainpedia on Kefka from Final Fantasy 6.
Given one interpretation of Majora's Mask, that it's all a manifestation of the Happy Mask Salesman's insecurities and the masks he puts on, Majora can become a top tier villain just based on how psychological it all is.
I mean really, HMS is at the bottom of a clocktower which, at the end of the game, connects to and (metaphorically) pierces the moon, then transforms into the tree of Samsara. Then childish versions of himself dance around it wearing the masks of the dungeon bosses who themselves are based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Which if you didn't know share a cycle that is eerily similar to the grief cycle i.e. the cycle of revelation. Which is half the reason why the interpretation that 'Link is dead' rings so true to people.
Yet people have the audacity to say the game is about Link even with that imagery. Nobody makes the better case for the HMS and what he really is/represents. It would make a great video IMO. It goes from game theory to 'hold on a minute, I think you're right'.
fuck yeah love me a good (bad) tier list
> I loved this 40-min long casual vid, Ghost. It’s great to hear you actively work through and justify your ranks. I’m super excited for the next season!
> For my villain request, I would beg you to please spend some time learning about Emet Selch from FFXIV. He quickly rose to a spot of fame and love within the FFXIV community after the 3rd and 4th expansion. His aesthetic, personality, voice acting, highly original backstory, very unique associated homeland, internal conflict with other villains, and love/hate relationship with the hero(s) has cemented him an all-time favorite Final Fantasy villain…and that’s saying something for that series!!
I honestly think that you should review chef saltbaker, hes an arguably better villan than the devil and a wonderful twist villan, the hints for him being a villan are subtle how he mention it takes a "heart and soul" to bake the wondertart when he actually means that in a litteral sense, hes such a big kind friendly looking chef that you would not expect him to turn evil, the whole scene of him having this insane deranged look while holding a knife looking like a slasher villan, how he explains he wants to essentially rule the world by taking control of the astral plane and essentially becoming a GOD (totally not a refrence to every final fantasy final boss which i love) and throughout the fight you see how psychotic he is, how he chops up limes, how he creates cookies out of the dough, how he breaks a sugar cube apart and squeezes the strawberries (which we can just pretend are guts) out of the strawberry basket. the way he just does things with that classic villanous and evil smile that looks insanely simmilar to that villan from pinnochio gives off the feeling of a fucking disney villan, he screams underatted disney villan to me, every part of the phase is just so well animated and done, from how he grows big, to how it straight up ends up with you fighting giant salt tornados with all kinds of scary mad faces moving around the tornados. the visual design of this character is off the charts. the best part is that even if you figure out hes the twist villan you dont expect him to be this insane and brutal especially in an innocent game like cuphead, even if theres no blood this dude wants to commit MURDER out of pure AMBITION just to rule the astral place, and his music is insanely good. he is a high S tier for me, even if hes not a very complex villan, hes by far a lot more of a terrifying presence then the devil and reminds me so much of how much I love disney villans, their big evil grins, their mischiveous plots that are actually a lot more horrific if you think about them. they made a big goofy saltshaker into a disney villan. you would defineatly see him at least higher then the devil
Would love to see videos on Sovereign from Mass Effect and The Gravemind from Halo. They’re both similar to The Master in how they seek to assimilate all life into a greater being, but they all have different motivations.
I found out about Ghostcharm from a friend who loved the Arthas videos, but my favorite villain on this list has to be The Master. To be transformed into a grotesque amalgam of machine and flesh but with enough charisma and ambition to be called the Father of Hope by his followers as he ushers mankind into its next evolutionary phase is such great writing from Interplay.
And if you want more classic Fallout-style writing I'd recommend the Wasteland series, written by Brian Fargo, one of Interplay's founders. I think Cochise and Saul Buchanan would make great Villainpedia entries!
The Master video is definitely my favorite, can’t wait for season 2!
i love your voice
I love your words
Love the way you move
I love your pokemon
Very GLAD, that GLADos made it to the top rank!
I'd like to see a video about Sovereign from Mass Effect 1.
You could read the ingredients of a ketchup bottle and I'd be here. All the better that I like teir lists 👍
Stop strolling through the comments and see that you cannot stop Lord Dagon!
I want to take advantage of how early I am and suggest a villainpedia on the dragon from dragon's dogma
You did right by me by giving Vancleef the respect he deserves, but I think it's a shame to talk about him without giving a mention to his legacy in his daughter, Vanessa.
For those that don't know, in that little alcove Vancleef is first found in, after you kill him and take his dead as proof of death, many years later in the game you can revisit a memory of that scene. After all the defias thugs and adventurers are gone, a lone little girl, Edwin's daughter, stumbles out of the alcove to find her decapitated father, falling to her knees as she mournfully whispers his name. Many years later, a now adult Vanessa has been working as the shadowy figurehead of her father's gang for a few years, while positioning herself inside her opposition's stronghold as a simple orphan girl, "Hope". Things come to a head, and eventually she manages to get the upper hand on *everyone*. Your character, the guards, the militia, the captain. Everybody is at the mercy of Vancleef's daughter. Instead of taking her revenge and cutting you all down, she instead chooses to burn the place to the ground, sparing the lives of her and her father's enemies while halting any progress being made against her cause. I find Vanessa to be an unbelieve ably important part of Edwin's story and does so much to boost the reputation and legacy of his character.
Lich king has to be my favorite vid yet
Nice list. I didn't see Sarah Kerrigan on there though.
Super hyped for Villainpedia season 2!
Waluigi in F tier? Unacceptable. Easily high A to low S tier.
As disappointing as Alduin is, I feel like he is still decent as a figure-head for the rest of the dragons and the dragon-cult in general. The rest of the faction aside from him and of course its lore *IS* pretty cool even if Miraak is definitly the best villain coming out of it.
i recently checked out your channel again. glad i did
I really appreciate your content, Ghost! To answer your questions; In my opinion, the GlaDOS video is the best Villainpedia on the channel. I felt like you had a lot of interesting things to say about her, and it warranted being the longest Villainpedia entry. As for the weakest videos, I'd have to say just the ones for games I haven't played: Fable, Warcraft, Legend of Zelda, Mario. As for Villains I'd like to see covered, it would be cool to see one of the villains from Fallout New Vegas, such as Father Elijah, Caesar, or Ulysses. None of them match The Master of Horrigan, but they are probably the best villains in the Bethesda era of Fallout. Another suggestion would be either Ballas or The Man in the Wall from Warframe, although I'm not sure you're familiar with that game and you don't really get exposed to the real lore until like 150 hours in, so it might be hard to research.

Also, the guy's nice enough to not charge interest or give you a time limit- he lets you pay it on your own time.
Hi Ghostcharm, I am one of your fans who really enjoys your content ever since my first strike stumbling onto your video on Dagoth Ur about a year ago. I might not be one of your original fans but I really liked the way you covered characters in such detail while making some quick jokes here and there and it really made me happy to see your channel start to grow. I know my comment might not be seen but you have asked about character suggestions before and I’ll leave mine here if you decide to read the comments. I’m a huge fan of the warhammer 40k universe and while I’m pretty sure you know nothing about the universe of warhammer 40k I feel like you would really enjoy it if you decided to give it a quick look. When you are thinking about a character to cover I would strongly recommend creating a video on The Emperor Of Mankind for a heropedia entry. His tale is one of hope power and disaster that would make for some very interesting content for your channel. Thanks man, really love your content!
the placement of dagoth ur will dictate wether i like this video or not
ok great video A++
He honors the sixth house
I love Patches but you are right, he is more like a chaotic neutral force than a villain. Love that guy so much, everytime i see his bald head, i would just think how he fucks me up this time
Ever do a video on SHODAN? The System Shock games were incredibly influential (play system shock 2 and then play bioshock, you’ll see what I mean), and SHODAN was a huge part of what made those games so good. The voice acting was incredible and you just loathe her as much as she loathes you by the end
that intro had me dead 💀 ooooo i love ghostcharm ahhahahaah
I think Alduin could've been better if Skyrim was made nowadays, he seemed really limited because of the technology at the time
FromSoft games can have cut and dry morality.
In Metal Wolf Chaos, President Michael Wilson is absolutely the good guy and VP Richard Hawk is absolutely the villain and a threat to America.
I'd love to see some New Vegas villains in future videos
Hey @ghostcharm, I don't know if you've played any of the Borderlands games, but if so we need a villanpedia episode on Handsome Jack!
Love your videos man! Such great looks into characters and places. I still put your M'aiq video on from time to time in the background, keep up the good work :]
I swear my favorite video game/visual novel villain has to be Beatrice from Umineko, she is S-tier in my opinion, she is the perfect tragic villain who is both the villain and the victim of Umineko, she is both hilarious and camp but also tragic and sad once you learn what she is.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a villainpedia on M.BISON fighting games most recognizable villain
An earlier upload than expected. Very pleased, I love tier lists and I love your videoed. What an awesome way to wrap up basically the first season of the villainpedia. Hope to see you do more of this with future seasons and your other shows.
I really like the fact that frank horrison was put on B tier. Like, he is a amazing representation of the ABSOLUTE UNIT trope, that is a faceless monster that poses a huge threat to the protagonist. But thats it... He doesn't have a face. This type of villan is great beacuse he is without a shadow of a doubt, B tier. He's just doing his job.
Honestly I feel like he is such a perfect representation of the trope that I would put him in A tier. I would keep him from S because he doesn’t have much presence throughout most of the game but as a villain he just feels so threatening and is an amazing shattering of your expectations after the master in the last game with frank being the only main villain in the series you can’t talk down
I have some villainpedia ideas:
Pontiff Sulyvahn ( Dark Souls 3 )
Giovanni ( Pokémon )
Ganondorf/Ganon ( The Legend Of Zelda )
Pate and Creighton ( Dark Souls 2 )
I would be happy if you make a video about Mannimarco or The Underking
The problem The Master had was probably impossible to handle. The problem is that the FEV makes haploid cells diploid. It does so because these cells don't match the rest of the body. To stop it would stop the FEV from repairing cells and make it useless.
Funnily enough skull kid Is in Twilight princess!
Well, A skullkid (we don't know which One)Is in Twilight princess, and guides you in the forbidden Woods while pretending to be an enemy on the notes of saria's song
I think the biggest failing in all of World of Warcraft was their need to constantly go bigger and bigger with their villains. We went from the squabbles of kingdoms to battling the very entities responsible for the cycle of life and death. It became the Warcraft Cinematic Universe. And all those hundreds of zones on Azeroth with their compelling stories were left in a perpetual state of half complete. DF took a decent step back, but they couldn't help themselves from having another world ending event, another existential threat to everyone. Such a shame to see my favourite game for so long wither away.
Ever think about branching villainpedia out to non-gaming characters? I’d love to see you try and deconstruct Michael Myers
Suggestions for future villainpedia: Metal Gear villains (The Patriots AI, Liquid, Solidus, Senator Armstrong), SHODAN and The Many from System Shock, Sephiroth and Kefka from Final Fantasy. And Urza, Yawgmoth, Nicol Bolas from Magic TG.
For the Nintendo villains, I think the only ones that rival Skull Kid are Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario or (possibly) Ghetsis from the 5th Gen Pokemon Games, but that Last one is a Stretch since the Game only hints at the amazing Backstory during the Main Game
Keep up the great work man! i hope you get around to doing a Handsome jack video sometime, one of my favorite villains of all time!
Love Zelda games getting some love in the high tiers. Great work and I can't wait from more vids!
seconded on both counts. I always wanna hear about Zelda stuffs.
I think we need some metal gear on here, big boss would be awesome considering he starts as a protagonist and becomes a main villain!
I feel like there could be separate videos on big boss, ocelot, solidus, the patriot ai, the boss, and senator Armstrong and those are just the absolute best villains of the series
A villainpedia on Kain would be amazing, or Deathstroke
The whole story of Arthas from the start to end which started in 2002 in rts game and ended in 2009 where you have to go with group of people at the grandest boss arena in mmo online game is just 11/10 most perfect experience in my life.
If you rearrange the letters of Ayn Rand it spells "And Ryan" (Andrew Ryan). Neat!
This was a fun change of pace! I know you said this will not be a regular thing on the channel, but I think one of these for the Heropedia would be well-received.
Idk if it’s worth a full Villainpedia entry, but one of my most hated villains from my childhood was Eric Sparrow from Tony Hawk’s Underground. He’s such a little b**** throughout, yet always manages to be one step ahead, and the initial betrayal made my blood boil. Not at all what I expected from a Tony Hawk game!
Villainpedia V.2 should have Handsome Jack in it! I know you’d do such a great job on that video and you’d love him as a villain.
Will you ever do Handsome Jack from the borderlands series? He is under my top 3 favorite villians in games!
Ghostcharm trying to say the most villainous thing Waluigi did was mess with tennis.
Did Ghostcharm even play the Dance Dance Revolution Mario Game where Waluigi's actions start the entire game by him stealing something to make him a better dancer. (yeah it's a wierd game)
Wario on the otherhand has done more evil shit than Waluigi.
Love your vids so much man! Thanks for your hard work, I absolutely adore this series! One villain that I would recommend could be Dr. Breen, I think that how he interacts with the Combine as an uneasy ally and how he could be looked at as a hero or a villain depending on how you look at him could be very interesting to see in video form
This tier list honours the sixth house and the tribe unmourned especially when u put lord dagoth in s tier
37:16
Moment you start dwelling towards one Mario character named Rosalina
man, her backstory and lore is sad
I give quick summary what happened in her backstory
She disappeared from her universe Mushroom kingdom where Mario who is left to rule the land
People want to think that it Luigi who would be her Father but no, it is Mario
For what happened to till that moment we have pieced little things what happened between Mario's and Bowser's Last encounter, It seemed that Mario was losing and Luigi sacrificed himself to save his brother, Mario defeated Bowser once and for all but for heavy cost, Daisy cut all connections for Mushroom kingdom, Mario inherited Luigi's enormous amount of wealth and mansion (Luigi is the RICHEST person in Mario universe, this can be pieced by years of lore what have collected over time, mansion is same mansion at Luigi's Mansion what he exorcised)
Mario of course keep one of his late brother's telescope as his irreplaceable memento
But this is not last bad thing to happen to Mario, Mario and Peach got married and after Peach bore Rosalina, Peach encountered something that bringed her early demise (this is unknown by what)
Mario buried Peach under their Favorite spot right near the Mansion
after few years later, Mario even thou doing his best to be King of Mushroom kingdom, he didnt have that much time to spare for his daughter Rosalina where then story from her book in Super Mario Galaxy takes off and explains minor things
Yea, Mario in different universe had bad things to happen to him but why this wont happen in Mainline series? Simple, They need easy to follow happy story but it doesnt mean all good things can happen in different universes
on the subject of villains! Void from the kirby series! he's very emotionally fascinating when you get down to how he functions
“Modern blizzard needs to stay the hell away from the Lich King.” Soooo who wants to be the one to tell him?
Bloodborne Patches is S tier. Bastard pushed me in slow poison goop and I wandered into a winter lantern and I gave up on getting my blood echoes back. As soon as I found him in the nightmare lecture hall I killed him dead.
I think Dr. Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank deserved a video. Hes iconic in the series and changes a lot through his appearences. Maybe even Chariman Drek from the original game, as I feel his motives are honestly pretty evil.
fallout new vegas caesar here's another really good fallout villain
Or Robert house.
Would love to see your videos on.
Awesome video! 2 Villains i'd love to see in a Villainpedia would be
1- ELOHIM from Talos Principle
2- Caesar from Fallout New Vegas.
Both are so philosophy heavy that they would make a great video.
Caesar was an amazing villain. Probably the best Fallout antagonist since The Master.
@@Badookumeh I felt like mr house was definitely a better villain because he is a lot more reasonable. I chose him when I played so I wouldn’t even consider him a villain but if you chose any other route he is
Legend of Ghostcharm: Tiers of the Kingdom
About frank horrigan his character represents the horror science can make a 13ft tall monster who can punch people in half he isn’t the main villain of fallout 2 instead he is a character meant to in body the enclave a monstrous machine of scientific engineering which lacks any morals but that’s just what I like to think any way love the video
It's a shame they never realised joining the Dagoth Ur. Btw, about The Elder Scrolls. Jagar Tharn should be interesting villian to do
I’d love to see a Metal Gear villains as that series has a ton of awesome and interesting villains
Yeah it’s insane how many great villains that series has. Though hot take for a second I think liquid is easily one of the weakest antagonists in the series and think nearly every other metal gear game introduces a better villain. He isn’t even the best villain in his own game when ocelot is introduced in it
DARK LINK IS C/D TIER AND YOU KNOW IT. People will remove my skin for this but whatever. He's inherently cool and mysterious, OOT boss fight is so sick. BUT he could be SO much more with any story besides the "oh neat" interpritable backstory in twilight princess.
Heres to hoping he gets his time in the limedark someday
I do not remember the lich king episodes, I should definitely go back and rewatch those!
Now this was unexpected and hilarious, real summer vibe and I love it!❤
Great stuff as always! Would absolutely love to see a Handsome Jack Villainpedia at some point.
Towards the end, you said the Mario games are soft on villainy, and while for the mainline games that may be true, the RPGs have some truly horrible villains. Dimentio from Super Paper Mario is one of my favorites just because he's so downright evil and deceitful. He's also great because he all but successfully accomplishes his goals until the very very end. Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series is also a similar archetype to Dimentio, but his lowkey, lurking presence makes him a different kind of treacherous, and he's always fun and surprisingly threatening when he's on screen. I recommend both of them for episodes.
Bethesda should hire this man for lore knowledge alone
Came here for Dagoth Ur, Stayed for GhostCharm
As a huge fan of the souls series, I may be biased, but I think Patches is one of the best written characters in the Souls series, especially Dark Souls 3. In DS3, he has a sense of morality, he cares for Greirat, he only hurts you because at the end of the day, he sees your acts as foolish and greedy. And in DS1 he despises clerics for their “Holier than thou” attitude. He’s not much of a villain, but a great character if you ask me.
Should definitely do a Villainpedia on Handsome Jack! He's personally my favorite villain OAT and I feel like he would definitely wind up being one of yours as well.
I'd love to see a villainpedia about Vergil from DMC.
cant wait for S2! GIVE US THE VILLAINS
All that talk about Alduin sent my gears turning. Wild thought, but I THINK "Chims" are in Elder Scrolls, right? The fellas who really run the show. The world in which they "live" is actually all just a creation of their imagination, and they're fully aware of that. So what if there were a BBEG for a future installment of that series who was, indeed, the ruling Chim of that reality? They've spent ages doing this. Twisting ethics. Rearranging the status quo. Shuffling politics. Bamboozling genetics. They do it so well that it's second nature without even an iota of doubt. Your endgame goal is -- in a sort of progressive quasi-sandbox RPG way -- to wreak enough havoc and counter enough "truths" of the world that this Chim eventually begins to question their own absolution, all for your own ultimate ideal of just rending this world unto itself and making it cease to exist via said Chim's own insecurity-driven insanity
I don't know what "Chims" are but "Chim" is the "breaking of the fourth wall" like realizing that they are not real and thus can do whatever. I don't think any in lore character has reached chim, maybe some have used it but that's dubious at best.
Basically chim is like the player using the console to do whatever. I guess you might be referring to the Godhead but that's not an antagonist since everything in the universe is that dudes dreams. Or it's basically Todd Howard/Bethesda.
