Strahd von Zarovich from Ravenloft, a old D&D module which been revamped for each new edition and got his own books and the module spun into it's own D&D setting (which I'm not a fan of). He's basically all Vampire lords in one glorious package.

Vecna is also a fun D&D villain, his first mention was that he was a long dead lich and his hand and eye was the only remnants left as powerful magical artifacts. Then he came back as a demigod and through the editions ascended to a full god.

Ahh Strahd. I loved the novel I, Strahd. Though personally I've always been more partial to Lord Soth. Dragonlance's biggest villain by way of uber-fail at the ONE THING that could have prevented the Cataclysm!! Well that and he was a craptastic excuse for a human being from the get-go.

Now there are a couple of villains from Forgotten Realms I love, too- Artemis Entreri and Alton De'Vir. Both were great villains for different reasons- though Entreri eventually "reformed" in a way. I loved the Sellswords books with him and Jarlaxle Beanre.

Regarding Vecna, how do you think he would stack up against Larloch, or Halaster Blackcloak? Granted they never became gods but as liches go, Larloch was considered the most powerful of all, and Halaster is arguably the most insane mage who ever lived.
