Walter White from Breaking Bad

Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones

NicholasBrody from Homeland

Francis Underwood from House of Cards Lorne Malvo from Fargo
WHO IS HE Nobel-nominated chemist turned meth-cook turned drug lord turned total badass A low born who's wormed his way up to Master of Coin to Lord of Harrenhal to Lord Protector of the Vale and now Lord Paramount of the Trident. Marine Corps sergeant taken as POW, rescued as War hero but also an Al Qaeda spy, then US Congressman and VP candidate Conniving, ambitious House Majority Whip who's climbed to Vice President of the US to President to...? Hitman for hire, Iago for kicks, psychopathic troll for the sake of sheer fun in dull, frosty North Dakota

WORST THING HE'S DONE

Poisoning a six-year-old to manipulate his business partner into murdering a drug lord, in order to replace him

Kills a congressman for political gains and then makes it look like suicide
Shooting dead three people, including his fiancée, in an elevator, when confronted by a man from his past
HIS EXCUSE What starts out as a cancer patient's need to support his family later transforms into a full-on power trip No excuse really. He's just a guy who knows that 'chaos is not a pit, it's a ladder' and isn't afraid to plot his way up He aspires to a better life for his family, even if it means resorting to treason Denied the position he was promised in the government, he responds with a bid for the seat of power http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14f.jpg

This guy has no code. He just considers himself an apex predator
MOST LIKELY TO http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14d.jpg

Teach you high school chemistry while selling you meth
Be your best friend and have your back right up till the moment he stabs you in it http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14e.jpg

Not die. Pretend to be a terrorist. Confuse you totally
Lie to your face. Tell you the truth. Gain trust. Lie to your face again, suavely Creep you out. Instigate you to kill someone, then kill you and get away with it

QUOTABLE QUOTES

[To his wife]

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14k.jpg

"I am not in danger, Skylar, I am the danger"
[To his love interest/ ward] "Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next" [To his daughter]

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14l.jpg

"I have this feeling things are going to get pretty wild soon"
[To the camera] "There is no solace above or below. Only us, small, solitary, striving, battling one another. I pray to myself, for myself" [To a man he's blackmailing]

"The Romans, raised by wolves... they see a guy turning water into wine, they eat him. Because there are no saints in the animal kingdom, only breakfast and dinner"

PLAUSIBILITY INDEX



Apparently, there are some Walter-types in America already

Unlikely. Someone more powerful would have him eliminated

The CIA can neither confirm or deny it! Too competent a person to be in American politics The US has plenty of psychopaths. Watch your back and front
EVILNESS

ABSOLUTE, 100%
http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14p.jpg

Like a dire-wolf, but with steel claws , 70%

Bambi with a bomb complex, 10%

Dapper, charming, mild-mannered evil, 85% http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2014/7/2007pg14u.jpg

Evil for evil's sake, 100%
