I would like to know among all the characters encountered since now in the Franchise who is the one who can be defined as the most evil

feel free to post your own list before to see mine so that i could not influence anyone's opinion..

Here is my top 5

 

1 

Spoiler

The Warden 

Without a doubt, and not just because there is the darkness of the taint into the protagonist,but more likely because the character is allowed by the game to be the executor of many atrocities and some of them are made by nothing more than amusement.

such as this

but also many other malicious deeds

(such as sacrifice Isolde and then made a deal with the demon or persuade her to kill the child,kill Alistair,attack Genitivi with a knife in the skull ecc..

or completely insane deeds

( kill the wounded soldier in the wilds because the warden run out of time

attack both Leliana and/or Morrigan with an active romance,or beheaded Wynne

The Warden can betray pretty much everyone and/or ruin their life and has a free pass because is the protagonist of DAO.

Truly the archdemon itself would be put into shame by some of the warden evil deeds and insanity.

Spoiler

Zathrian

I know that he at least is moved by something by anger rather than pure madness like the evil Warden,still put a terrible curse,who was the source of great pain into many peoples that endured  for centuries mostly on those who were innocent,included member of his own clan and benefit from it with eternal youth? that's evil.

Spoiler

Quentin,no need of explanations

 

4

Spoiler

Rendon Howe and Vaughan Kendells,really they can have the 3rd position together both are great bastards.

Howe in his last of powers killed the only family that was close to him,they were the only one at his marriage,and then he also can possibly insult the Warden regarding the death of his mother

(albeit this only happen if the warden is monster and tell to him that he will make his sons suffer)

He also torture others for amusement,torture was not of a common use in Ferelden and yet howe instead to kill the others nobles and rebels to loghain prefer to keep them alive to torture them 

 

Vaughan is evil and also a coward,he abuse of others and act to ruin their most beautiful moments such as the Warden marriage.

Last position to Corypheus and his comrades magisters,they did sacrificed many people during the time f the empire out of their religious fervor and even caused multiples problems across the ages,they brought the blight and also they continued to make disaster even during the actual age.

Still at least they had some motivation to do that,power and everything that's why they are less evil for me than those at the top position.

[straykat]

The Warden who sells Connor's soul for blood magic.

 

Or maybe Warden and Morrigan, if they agree to draining the blood of the Elves/CE Elf's father, for a measely +1 Con (not that the number matters ).

[themikefest]

My Hawke for letting Meredith kill Bethany.

[Homeboundcrib]

I guess mine would be

•Vaughan Kendells,he is so cruel to the city elves and probably Dalish ones as well.

• Corypheus.

• Rendon Howe dirty dog lol.

•Zathrian.

[Elhanan]

I nominate:

The gossip that started the whole "Don't drink Darkspawn blood" thing; spent hours of my initial DAO campaign reloading to avoid being hit in melee.

Isabella in DA2: still wish to strangle her after she leaves Hawke and Kirkwall to clean up her mess. At least Anders was out of his mind.

The artisan that spent time crafting the Bottles of Thedas.

[renfrees]

1. Evil Warden & Evil Hawke

2. Vaughan

3. Quentin

4. Rendon Howe

5. Branka

I don't think there is any characters really super evil in the Dragon Age world, yet. Playing the story of FF6 sets your evil character metre pretty high after Kefka Palazzo . Seriously, how many characters are as evil as this backstabbing bastard?! XD

I was just about to post that myself. None in DA really are truly evil. Playing an evil character makes them the most evil, but even Corypheus I felt sorry for if you know of his past and his life. I would have to say Erimond is close though. That guy has no regrets unless you make him a Tranquil. And I have to add even Kefka wasn't born evil. he was experimented on and went crazy. Still my fav FF villain.

[llandwynwyn]

Oh wow, so it's really true. There is always something new about DAO to learn, I'd no idea you could murder that poor elf.

"Most evil" depends on what exactly you consider particularly evil. Based on some results of social psychology, people would be considered most evil if they did all of the following (sorted in descending order of "evil", according to my personal estimation):

 

(1) Causing suffering, or refusing to mitigate suffering, for the lulz.

(2) Treating other people as objects only fit to serve yourself.

(3) Having no loyalty to any cause or group, just to yourself and your own self-gratification.

(4) Rejecting any moral and legal authority unless doing so benefits yourself.

(5) Casually destroying things others hold sacred.

 

I don't think there's any character in DA who does all of that. The most common type of evil is (2), exemplified by any slaver and/or the people who used people to grow red lyrium. Quentin would be characterized by (2) to (4), I think that's the closest anyone comes to "most evil" in the franchise, by quality, counting only NPCs. Some of our protagonists can be pretty evil, though. I'll have to check, but it's quite possible the Warden can do express everything but (3) if you put some effort into it.

What you just described is the person playing DA 

[TK514]

In my opinion, Howe.

[Tidus]

Here is my choices of the most evil that meets the pointy end of my warden's sword...

 

Loghain

 

Howe

 

Vaughan

 

Caladrius

 

While not evil there are several AIs I would love to run a sword through in Orzammar for disrespecting my brand warden.

[Qun00]

That's easy. The right answer is Vivienne.

[Cute Nug]

1. Shards

2. Shards

3. Shards

4. Shards

5. Shards

[ComedicSociopathy]

1. Shards

2. Shards

3. Shards

4. Shards

5. Shards

 

The true villain of the Age of Dragons. 

 

 

That's easy. The right answer is Vivienne.

 

[Wynterdust]

I wouldn't describe many, probably even the main antagonists as purely evil. But Quentin and Uldred are pretty screwed up...

[Cute Nug]

I originally was paranoid that it was actually the DAI Quizzy that was insidiously the most evil DA character ever. I spent 100 hours with Quizzy and I felt like they were never even there. We did fun and exciting things together like collecting shards and these really useful bottles that saved untold numbers of Thedasians. Not to mention that wonderful time with that scamp Lord Woolzy!

 

When Quizzy first confronts Cory in Haven I thought maybe this little plucky protag has some potential but no. By the time we get to the final anti-climatic battle with Cory my Quizzy seemed to be an empty shell.

 

Although Cory isn't everyone fav villain he seemed to generally be still interested in his final performance with wacky dialogue like this:

 

 "Tell me, where is your Maker now? Call upon Him. Call down His wrath upon me! You cannot? For He does not exist! I am Corypheus and I shall deliver from this lie in which you linger. Bow before your new God and be spared!"

"You will fall as a warning to those who oppose my divine will."

To elf Quizzy he mocks your slave tat and says:

"You are nothing. A race of sniveling cowards that shrank before Tevinter power!"

"Let it end here. Let the skies boil. Let the world be rent asunder.

"Not like this! I have walked the halls of The Golden City, crossed the ages ..."

 

Quizzy has one line meh dailogue with Cory at the beginning of the final anti-climatic battle and then is mostly silent except for boring game mechanics lines:

"The Archdemon's coming! We must fight!"

"The breach is getting bigger!"

 

One hundred hours-ish spent developing a protag and that's all they give ... seemed to be the purest of evil.

 

Then I played through Trespasser and finally after 2 years the Quizzy has emotions and tries at meaningful dialogue. Maybe Quizzy wasn't just evilly making us endure their emotionless moments they just didn't have a soul until Trespasser.

 

Maybe Quizzy is like Cole and took time to become a real person. Maybe it's a weird Solas(Souless) thing and he actually intentionally or unintentionally created the souless Quizzy during his centuries long nap. 

 

DA4 starts with Solas saying, "Quizzy I'm your Maker."

Lets see:

 

1. Vivienne

 

2. Lohgain

 

3. Howe

[Aren]

My Hawke for letting Meredith kill Bethany.

(1)is pretty much The Warden and also sometimes Howe case

 

is The warden case,there are many evil deeds committed by the warden only for the lulz,without any purpose such as the one of the video but also in many other occasion,the warden can kill people just for amusement and is the only character who can do that just chek the link page to the murdered knife.

 

 

[Secret Rare]

I was just about to post that myself. None in DA really are truly evil. 

The Warden can be,insanely evil in both DAo and DAA without,often without a reason to people that are not a threat or just stranger,literally for nothing more than amusement,as far as i'm concerned Hawke and the Inquisitor aren't allowed to do that

[vertigomez]

Vaughan and Alrik strike me as the most unapologetically evil. (Gascard duPuis was pretty awful, too. Worse than Quentin, even.) Though their actions are targeted at comparatively few - no world domination plots here - they treat people like objects and cause pain and suffering for their own gratification. They feel no remorse or empathy. They don't have some twisted logic motivating them, they're not possessed or Tainted, they're not an extremist with good intentions. They're just really, really selfish and they either don't care if they hurt others or they revel in it.

[renfrees]

Oh yes, that creep Alrik, how could I forget him?

Vaughn does.  He has his "party" for the lulz, he treats his servants like slaves, his only cause is his self-gratification, he ignores the scolding of a Chantry priest, and he destroys a marriage service.
