what would be your top ten list of literary villains?
im especially interested in the really greedy ones. hades couldnt qualify because he believes in evil just for the sake of it. but i want greedy ones, and i want them now!!!
Would Richard III count???? Even though he was a real person, R3 was villified as an overambitious to the point of greedy fiend by Shakespeare and many since him....

Definately Count Olaf, He is the the one from Unfortunate Events, isn't he? I haven't read past no 9.
How about Jasper? He's not fictional, but he is evil getting us hooked on his books, just so he can make money, and putting up this fforum, just so we waste all our time here.

Yes.... Uh, no.... Actually......I don't know.... Um, hang on.... What was the question again?
Siridar-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen ('Dune', Frank Herbert). So evil, so rapacious that even after dying in 'Dune', he came back to possess his grand-daughter in 'Children of Dune'. Them's evils!
I'd also put in a word for Blofeld from the James Bond series.
