    I think we are overlooking a very obvious candidate here - Ilyana. Literally she's like "Oh. Give me that cookie and I will kill a person."

    Relatable.

    In Three Hopes Byleth (and Jearlt) kills people for money. S/he doesn't even give a fuck about whose right or wrong about the conflict.

    Isn’t that basically anyone who’s a mercenary, though?

    My boi Lifis. He doesn't just murder innocent people, he outright tortures them, for no real reason (and August taught him how to do it!). And better yet, he's completely unrepentant. He doesn't join the heroes because he has any loftier goals, he joins them because they threaten him and he sticks around because he reckons he can get some tail.

    Unless you want to count Heroes. Cause then you have, like, Grima.

    And Heroes also has other psychos like Valter, Kronya, Lifis (again), Sonia, Gharnef etc.

     

    But Grima’s definitely the worst one, imo.

  3. Hubert, Catherine and Dedue also have somewhat lax morals.

     

    Hubert is a creepy asshole who’ll kill behind Edelgard’s back.

     

    Catherine is willing to work with Rhea even when she’s insane. Even Seteth and Flayn wi offer to run away, but Catherine stays loyal to the end.

    Dedue is willing to do anything for Dimitri, even kill kids. I don’t like blind loyalty like that…

    On the topic of Iago and Hans, I've only now recently discovered another reason as to why I consider Iago and Hans to be some of the worst villains in the entire franchise...THEY GET WAY TOO MUCH SCREENTIME!

    As a general rule of thumb, I tend to dislike one note villains who get way more screen time than they deserve at the expense of other more potentially interesting villains (not that Fates has any good villains mind you, they all suck, but my point still stands). Like Surtr for example; all of the other Book 2 villains (Laegjarn, Laevataein, Helbindi) are way more interesting characters than Surtr, who's literally just Alola Garon, and Garon's already really shit. And for the record, I'm not saying cartoonish villains can't work in Fire Emblem, they totally can. Take Narcian for example; he is very much a cartoonish villain like Iago and Hans, but what makes him work is that they do use his screen time well in showing him to be absolutely terrible at his job despite his high position in Bern's army, which even results in him losing his job to Gale. They also off him at about the halfway point of Binding Blade's story, so he never really overstays his welcome. Iago and Hans, on the other hand, overstay their welcome very quickly, and they're not even that interesting or fun to watch like Narcian. There's literally no value in having them last as long as they do.

    In short, they'd be fine as minor villains to be dealt with quickly, not major villains with screen time lasting the entire fucking game. In fact, if there's one thing I'll give Revelation credit for, it's shooing out the major villains from the other routes early so we can make room for Valla. Rev is still garbage mind you, but credit where it's due.

    Yeah. I kinda wanted to kill them, not because they were evil, but because they were annoying me.

  5. Here are some that really bugged me.

     

    Xander-"Let me blindly follow my evil and goopy dad!" I really hate how, even when his actions kill his little sister, who he supposedly cares about, he doesn't change.

    Hans-A bandit who somehow managed to get himself promoted to a secondary villain. Lacks any charisma or intimidation factor to justify a role more than "show up in one level, get killed".

    Iago-A poorly written antagonist who has no real reason to hate Corrin, but spends his entire life trying to kill them.

    Soleil-Because sexual harassment is funny.

    Sylvain-He has a tragic past, true, but that doesn't absolve him from being a jackass to the women he dates.

    Leonie- "You really don't appreciate Jeralt enough. Now, let me tell you how much I want to bone your dad".

    Cyril-He's bland. And his main character trait is wanting to bone Rhea. Would anyone really care if he was removed from the game?

    I meant it more as, I don`t mind the Lord primarly using swords. You do have a point though. I would like to see a Lord Class that could use magic alongside swords one day,. I know Celica technically does this already, but I feel they should give it another shot. 

    Don’t forget Robin. Not technically a lord, but still.

    I asked which superpower would be first. I have my answer. Enjoy the story:

    Everyone gathers: Empire, Kingdom, Alliance, Church and even TWSITD (in disguise of course in case they get spotted) all arrive separately at the site where Kostas has been spotted; each one hoping to beat the others to killing Kostas. As they approach, all of them see before them the corpses of Kostas's bandits: impaled on stone pillars and mangled by dark magic. At the center of this horrific scene, they see what remains of Kostas: obliterated into pieces, all stacked on one lance embedded in the ground. Standing there, his face that of one who has lost everything that had given his life a purpose, is Hubert.

    None dare approach him. Many can only stand in terror at the sight of what he accomplished, and the rest don't know how to feel: angry that he took their moment of vengeance from them? Impressed that a mere student accomplished all this? Few there knew Hubert well enough to sympathise; those that did were grateful they did not get to Kostas first. 

    As for Hubert himself, though his eyes were fixed on the head of Kostas, his mind was elsewhere; absorbed in every memory he had of Lady Edelgard, from the day they first met, to the three days he spent trying to find her in Faerghus, and ending with their last time together: she had told him to go on ahead to Garreg Mach. He protested; insisting that he be there in case something goes wrong, but she reassured him that she'll be fine. 

    Lady Edelgard… Then the memories changed; one of the Flame Emperor soldiers spoke with Hubert outside Garreg Mach; delivering news Hubert could not believe. From then on, there were no thoughts; only all-consuming rage. Now, it was done, and what was left inside him was... nothing. Just the sheer emptiness of a mind completely destroyed. 

    Lady Edelgard… What was left? Lady Edelgard was gone now; her dreams of a better Fodlan unfulfilled... Her dreams... He could carry on her dreams. Then he saw him: Arundel; real name Thales, in amongst the crowd. The one that experimented on Lady Edelgard, right there. As was the Church of Seiros, Faerghus, and the Alliance. In that moment, he knew what he could do. He pointed at Thales. 

    "Kostas confessed before he died. Arundel hired him!"

    All eyes turned to the TWSITD forces that had gathered. He had no need for them to carry out Lady Edelgard's vision. Some of Thales' men were able to teleport away, but the rest, including Thales himself, were struck down in mere moments. 

    With that out of the way, Hubert then pointed at Lady Rhea

    "And you! They were under your protection, and you failed them! Have you no shame?!" A few more words here and there, and chaos engulfed all around him. He would fulfill Lady Edelgard's vision in her stead, no matter what it took. 

    That's beautiful.

     

    Now, I want a game starring Hubert.
