Top 9 Video Game Villains Of 2012

2. Captain Scarlett (Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate€™s Booty)

Two villains from the same game on this list! Sacrilege! To put it simply: Scarlett is a lousy pirate, particularly because of her honesty about her untrustworthiness. She constantly lets you know, in a semi-apologetic, semi-bragging tone that she will betray you: €œFull disclosure: I will absolutely stab you in the back somewhere down the road.€ This renders her clumsy betrayal attempt to be somewhat endearing more than it is aggravating. She€™s the reason that this odd Pirates of the Caribbean-esque adventure on Pandora works so well. Hopefully we€™ll see her character make another appearance in the inevitable sequel to Gearbox€™s shooter.
