Selected for looks, schemes, pesonality disorders, and body count, candidates that survived alcohol poisoning currently are the master from fallout, for his shear lunacy, and Shodan from system shock, who still has me waking in a cold sweat and screaming for a laser rapier. Sephiroth (FF7) was rejected early on for having the personality of a damp squid.
Feel free to add to the hall off fame.

For characterisation, I'd have to go with Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow's of Amn. Excellent voice acting made him a completely cold bastard. I really, really wanted to kill him.
For intimidation, I'd go with one of the final bosses from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. On scale with Samus, I am not exagerating when I say they're 1000 times her size. Its freaky.

I always though Irenicus was a poor imatation of BG's Serevok, who was just plain nasty (and well acted) and indulged in political backstabbing, and public relations. but i've covered te BG2 stuff before. Firkarg (big red scheming dragon) was a better bet.

they never tell you what happened to his bottom jaw... but his set up in that last room, gave me some disturbing ideas for future home set up...

when it comes to car chases those guys run down more civillians (or at least push my car into civilians) more than i do...

He's a psychotic pyromanic mage, who now doubles as a conduit to the plane of fire. Fortunatly(for him, not anyone else)he has a healing ability, which allows counteracts the fact that he's permanantly on fire. He floats behind your party like some sort of insane version of the Human Torch.
The Nameless One: Ignus, I want to ask you another question.
Ignus: No! We burrrrrnnnnn thingsssssss!
TNO: But I want to talk of flames and burning.
Ignus: Allriiiiight theeeeen.
TNO: Actually, lets just carry on.
Ignus: NO! TALK OF THE FLAAAMES!
TNO: Ignus, I said no!
*Ignus leaves the party, turns hostile and attacks*
Oh, and whatever happens, NEVER call him supplicant.

The red wizard from BG1/2 was amusing, in BG1 you had the blizzard style repeat click responses which were great:
'please don't bother me whilst I'm plotting to overthrow you'
must go buy planescape torment.....

Oh, and if we're including anti-heros, I'd like to put forward my dark side character in Knights of the Old Republic, but that may be cheating as strictly speaking a villian has to be an antagonist

That's what I like about him. He's mysterious, and you never really learn too much about him aside from his motive and a little bit of back story.

And as for Mechwarrior 2, the Jade Falcons were the villians? I couldn't be bothered reading through 500 pages of text to work out what was going on.
