Complete Monster/Dragon Age

"Vaughan: Anyway, it's not like the Elves are real people."
 * Dragon Age: Origins has several examples:
 * In the Human Noble origin story, Arl Rendon Howe is notable for being the one who  He is also responsible for
 * Bann Vaughan: in the City Elf origin story, he kidnaps the brides and bridesmaids of an Elf wedding and takes them back to his mansion to be raped -- and this isn't the first time he's done this, either. Leliana's Song has a moment where Leliana's crew overhear him preparing to torture/rape one of his maids because of a floor stain.
 * In the City Elf origin, when the local priest objects that he's disrupting a wedding, Vaughan tells her that if she wants to "dress up her pets" and play with them, that's fine with him, but she shouldn't expect him to act like it's a real wedding. Yeah, it's really hard for even a Villain Protagonist PC to avoid on subsequent playthroughs, even if he is a vote against Loghain in the Landsmeet.


 * The Awakening expansion pack gives us the Baronness, an Orlesian noble who took her peasants' children to use in blood magic rituals.
 * The Dwarven Paragon, Branka. As part of a long and obsessive quest to get her hands on the Anvil of the Void, she went traipsing off into the Deep Roads with several hundred members of her household following her; there, in the act that unambiguously pushes her into "irredeemable evil" territory, she  And when you finally meet her, she actually complains that members of her household begged for death and claims that they had no right to protest her decision. Oh, and when she learns of the plight of Orzammar? She doesn't care one bit. It's All About Me is her hat.
 * The PC him/herself can be one, if the player wants to do it that way. Each of the main story quests presents the PC with an unambiguously evil way to handle the proceedings: . "The Arl of Redcliffe" takes the prize at this: . And that's just in the main storyline. The sidequests allow you to steal from widows, become a contract killer, break up a pair of Star-Crossed Lovers by seducing one out of their virginity and rubbing it in the other's face, and other bits of more mundane, yet still soul-crushing evil. You can be a bastard in this game.
 * Dragon Age II:
 * Quentin, an insane blood mage serial killer
 * Quentin is so monstrous that hiding his existence in Kirkwall  almost counts as a Moral Event Horizon for.
 * Danarius. Quite apart from being a Magister of the Tevinter Imperium, which means he had to do some pretty despicable things to gain that position, he
 * And Word of God has confirmed that he  Dear God...
 * Sers Otto Alrik of the Templars is everything Anders hates about the Order:
 * Alrik is a sadistic bastard who abuses the Rite of Tranquility by illegally Tranquilizing mages who passed their Harrowing, threatens more reasonable Templars who protest his deeds, and drafts a plan to make all mages in Thedas Tranquil. When you see him in "Dissent", it's heavily implied that he uses the Rite of Tranquility to make pretty mages into willing sex slaves.
