10 Awesome Video Game Villains You Never See

10. Molag Bal - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

In the world of the Elder Scrolls, Molag Bal is the Daedric Prince of Domination and the Enslavement of Mortals, making him a pretty bad guy all things considering.

The primary antagonist of the Elder Scrolls: Online, he has his own Daedric quest and features heavily in the Dawnguard DLC in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but players are never brought face-to-face with him.

The father of all vampires in the Elder Scrolls universe, whilst his physical presence isn't in the game, his impact is arguably just as chilling as it is in Online.

Through his 'The House of Horrors' quest, players will encounter Molag Bal, whose voice (supplied by Christopher Corey Smith) alone will be enough to beat the Dragonborn into submission. The brutality of Molag Bal's dominance, his bloodthirsty attitude, and his domineering presence in both the house and with the vampires of Castle Volkihar give him an omnipresence across Skyrim, even though players will never even catch sight of him.

Oozing power, his one mission alone still stands out as one of most gripping moments in the game.
