15 Most Monstrous Villains In Television

Just edging out Joffrey Baratheon for the title of Most Irredeemably Psychotic Bastard In Westeros, the former Ramsy Snow, bastard son of the Lord Of The Dreadfort, is without doubt the worst person in the world of Game Of Thrones, and that’s saying something.

A sadistic torturer, rapist and mass murderer, Ramsay is (or rather, was) essentially a violent serial killer in a position of feudal power and commanding an army, which is possibly the worst kind of serial killer: one who can operate with almost total impunity.

Almost feral, a rabid animal walking upright, Ramsay brutalised for his own amusement, crazy little eyes lighting up whenever he had the opportunity to humiliate or mutilate anyone that crosses him… or anyone that crosses his path, really.

He was a sexual sadist, taking a fetishistic delight in causing real suffering, not just pain. He was also a petulant child who cannot handle having his playthings taken from him; impulsive, short-sighted and paranoid. Finally - and as if all that wasn’t enough - he comes from a long tradition of flaying his enemies alive, skinning them until they pass out from loss of blood or die from shock.
