Evil, evil, pure evil character

By Hexdot, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Who is the most evil, cruel, miserable pilot or crewmember in x wing? Lets not included main characters as Palpa or Anakin.

Ysanne Isard is quite treacherous and vile, but what about those named pilots... People who shoots children before breakfast just to check the gunsight...

Xizor's pretty high on the "vile"scale. IG-88's plotting to exterminate all that lives also springs to mind offhand.

Keyan Farlander. Kills Stardestroyers JUST to get a high score.

Mux!

Skeletor?

GONK!

But my main vote would always go to Tarkin.

Though the line "you would prefer a different target, a military target? Then name the system!" is one of my perennial favourites.

Yoda!

-Indoctrinates young children into his para-military religious organization where these virgin zealots kill and die under his organizations' religious ideals.

-Drags the supposedly "peacekeeping" Jedi into the middle of a galactic Civil War as soldiers.

-Under his Leadership the Jedi Order unwittingly puts Space Hitler in charge. (Granted: Not so much evil as stupid)

-Under his Leadership most of the Jedi Order is wiped out. (Granted: Not so much evil as stupid)

-Has one half hearted fight to right his mistake and take out Space Hitler, after that he spends the next 20 years letting other people to clean up his mess.

-After Order 66 he save for a few token cameos, hides out on Dagobah leaving the rebellion and lost Jedi to fend from themselves despite his supposed power.

Skeletor?

You misspelled Hordak Mumm-Ra. ;)

Xizor's a freaking rapist. Hard to get worse than that.

Pretty much any murderer is worse than that.

Yes, the most Evil...jajaja

And Xizor's the head of one of the biggest and most powerful criminal organizations in the galaxy. Mistresses that have refused to accept that he has dumped them, have ended up being mixed with construction materials for buildings on Coruscant.

It seems highly probable that he arranges murders (and that Black Sun does a lot of murdering in the course of their other criminal enterprises).

I'm not saying Xizor's not bad, just that it's silly to pick **** as an example of 'hard to get worse than that' when talking about a character who most commits crimes worse than that.

Perhaps not the most evil, but as said before, Tarkin is one of the most charismatic. In a universe full of jumping guys, he is the quintaesence of a high ranking officer, fully integrated in an evil machinery of opresion. Love him too

I'm going to second Tarkin. He gave the order to destroy an entire planet full of billions of lives. A non-military target. If that doesn't count as evil I don't know what does.

He does some pretty evil things in the EU as well - destroying an Omwati settlement every time a student from that settlement failed in their exams.

9 students and settlements, in this case:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Omwati

During the last years of the Old Republic, Omwat was rediscovered and visited by a promising Republic military officer by the name of Wilhuff Tarkin . The Omwati, after some initial surprise, welcomed the alien visitor. Tarkin soon understood that the blue-skinned natives were related to the Omwati living on other planets, but he kept that information from them; as Tarkin was familiar with the mental brilliance and successes of Omwati children, he thought he could profit from the discovery [4] by controlling some promising, creative young minds and using them for his own benefit. [3]

Tarkin kept the planet a secret except from all but a few close collaborators. To gain the Omwati's trust, Tarkin gave them information about history, culture, and technology in the Republic for them to study, and he promised to return with more ships. Any reference to Omwati on other planets was carefully censored by Tarkin's agents. [4]

Later, the Republic was replaced by the Galactic Empire . Emperor Palpatine rewarded Tarkin with the dominion of the Outer Rim Territories , an area that included Omwat. Tarkin decided it was time to make use of the Omwati, and, ten years after his first contact, he returned to Omwat. Tarkin ordered a training center built in Omwat's orbit . Then, he threatened the Omwati with a bombardment of the planetary surface, thus destroying all the planet's cities, unless the Omwati performed intelligence tests on their children and surrendered their several hundred brightest youth to Tarkin. The Omwati agreed, but at the same time they secretly began a space program to reach Tarkin's satellite through their own means. Omwat's gravitational pull, however, proved a significant problem to these Omwati engineers. [4]

Ten of these Omwati children, coming from different cities, were trained for two years in the orbiting sphere by some of the best scientists and engineers Tarkin could assemble, [3] including Nasdra Magrody [17] and Ohran Keldor . [18] The youths knew that their knowledge would be thoroughly tested and, should any of them fail a test, his or her native city would be destroyed and the failed student executed . Such was the fate of nine of the children, including Pillik . Only the young Qwi Xux passed all the tests presented to her. As a reward, Tarkin sent Xux to his secret research center, the Maw Installation , where she would work with famed engineer Bevel Lemelisk developing weaponry for the Empire. [3] The galactic government covered up Xux's involvement by listing all of the abducted Omwati children, including Xux, as deceased. [4]

JarJar Binks....I know he's not in the game but he almost single handedly ruined Star Wars...

Edited by humptydumpty96

He's terrible, but is a symptom rather than a cause.

That doesn't stop me from hating him, (and my favourite game I ever ran was a commando mission to assassinate him). But The prequels had far bigger issues than Jar Jar.

The game really needs Jar Jar in a jedi star fighter. Special rule? Think Biggs but it applies to both sides.

For evil: Really got to throw another vote for Xizor. He's essentially a cartoon evil genius super villain cliche who's only super power is ****.

Tarkin is a mass murderer on a grand scale... but he does it because while he is utterly callus, he is at least trying to achieve a goal. Security.

Palpy is a mass manipulater responsible for a greater number of over all cassualties than a dozen Tarkins, and he does it all for his vanity project of building a vast eternal empire... but at least he has a goal.
Xizor kills, maims, ***** and manipulates, and hangs about with Palpy despite having a good idea of what he has done and will do, because it amuses him. Insert moustach twirling here. (In essence he is more evil by didnt of less developed character and shoddier writing. His soul defining trait is Evilness-tm.)

Some sources suggest that Tarkin's goal (security) is secondary to his sadistic streak.

Jerjerrod is another character who (at least in the Legendsverse) is painted as exceedingly cruel:

Commander Jerjerrod sat, brooding, in the control room of the Death Star, watching all about him crumble. Half of his crew were dead, wounded, or run off - where they hoped to find sanctuary was unclear, if not insane. The rest wandered ineffectually, or railed at the enemy ships, or fired their guns at all sectors, or shouted orders, or focussed desperately on a single task, as if that would save them. Or, like Jerjerrod, simply brooded.

He couldn't fathom what he'd done wrong. He'd been patient, he'd been loyal, he'd been clever. he'd been hard. He was the commander of the greatest battle station ever built. Or, at least, almost built. He hated this Rebel Alliance now, with a child's hate, untempered. He'd loved it once - it had been the small boy he could bully, the enraged baby animal he could torture. But the boy had grown up now; it knew how to fight back effectively. It had broken its bonds.
Jerjerrod hated it now.
Yet there seemed to be little he could do at this point. Except, of course, destroy Endor - he could do that. It was a small act, a token really - to incinerate something green and living, gratuitously, meanly, toward no end but that of wanton destruction. A small act, but deliciously satisfying.

Wow... Firstly that's never an impression I got from him in the film as shown... and it really is a kick in the draws when you consider his cut scenes.

The "newcanon" seems to have moved away from that portrayal - with the Beware the Power of the Dark Side ROTJ novelization stressing that Jerjerrod is a not particularly evil man.

Hard to get worse than that.

I disagree. Xizor leaves his conquests broken and ruined from his attentions and his dark whims. That, IMHO, is as bad as arranging deaths or profit or convenience. R*** is a violation on a deeply personal level, which is difficult even for the strongest and most supportive to recover from. That puts him right up there with Palatine and some f the Sith Marauder Lords in my book.

Also in his position I would have destroyed endor. f**k the ewoks and f**k the guys that killed me. Nope. My last words would have been "Gunner, do you see that planet?" "Yes Sir" "I don't want to." "understood sir.."

I had never seen those deleted scenes before. The Royal guard actually doing stuff (not much).

Maybe next special edition...

Last note: He may have had misgivings, but he still did his Job.

Moff Jerjerrod - better than Kim Davis.

Contrast with death, which cannot be recovered from.
