[Alignment] Neutral Evil

Neutral Evil, "Malefactor"

A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any better or more noble. On the other hand, she doesn’t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has.

Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies.

Neutral evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.

  1. This may well be my favourite alignment for an antagonist. Still, Lawful Evil rawks, if it's done right ;)

  2. This image and quote came from the 1991 movie Hudson Hawk. Richard E. Grant is excellent in his role as a cheerfully psychotic businessman, Darwin Mayflower.

    You need a bad guy? He's the one for you!
