Jaime Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire (not just since the third book)
Roy Earle from LA Noire
Benny from Fallout New Vegas (using the black widow perk was just hilarious)
The Mouth of Sauron
Loki from the recent Thor movie? I know he's likeable, but I was rooting for him over Thor :/

Rosalie from Twilight. She's a terrible person, but her arc explains why pretty well. And she's the only one who really gets substantial character development aside from the main character's love on/off toggle. So I find I can't help but like her the best as a character, because she's the most human.

I'm going to go with Kefka from FF6. The guy's completely insane, homicidal, and extremely powerful but his silly antics always make me laugh. Especially in Dissidia, since instead of walking he skips, lol.

Aerie from Baldur's Gate 2, since I've been playing that recently. She's whiny as hell and half of her dialog is just angsting about her lost wings or something.

Yet I found her endearing anyway.

General Serrano from Bulletstorm. I can't help but like a guy who's staring down a loaded gun wielded by a woman who he personally shoved off the roof of a skyscraper (after she discovered that he had her father murdered) and STILL hits on her in the crudest possible terms.

Richard III from the Shakespeare play of the same name: This is a man who stopped the funeral procession of a man he murdered in order to hit on his victim's widow! Sort of like General Serrano, but with a better vocabulary (when I'm murdered by an enraged English Major for that comparison, I hope that somebody is considerate enough to testify at the trial that the homicide was TOTALLY justified).

Colonel Graft from Ender's Game. A manipulative bastard through and through, but he did his duty, completed the task assigned to him, and was instrumental to winning the war.

The Red Queen from the first Resident Evil movie: she did exactly what she was programmed to do and, had she not been sabotaged, she might have been able to avert the ensuing apocalypse.

Scorpius from Farscape: Smart, ruthless and determined, and his neural clone was just as formidable.

Lothor from the fantasy novel "Nightseer". A priest of the God of Bloodshed. The heroine of the novel (who, to put it mildly, was NOT fond of him) put him in charge of a prisoner because she was worried that her more humane allies might hesitate if she told them to murder the prisoner in cold blood, but she knew that Lothor would kill the man just because she asked him to.

Vegeta from DBZ was one of my favorite characters in the series. I liked how evil and arrogant he was. Of course, he really sealed the deal when he saved Goku from being killed by Android 19. You know, because he wanted to kill Goku himself.

I also always liked Gin Ichimaru from Bleach. About the time he mocked Rukia before her execution, I knew he wasn't all bad. Yes, some people thought it was a dick move, but I saw what he had really done. He rekindled her will to live. And when he apologized to Rangiku before leaving the Soul Society, I knew he was actually a good person. He never really came across as a evil person to me.

More than likely if it's a well-kept/groomed male antagonist, I'm in love with it. For example (off the top of my head):


Oh, and this man SO much:

The Comedian from Watchmen, though to be fair he was supposed to be inexplicably likable, despite being a murderous psychopath, so I'm not sure if this counts.
by the end no one really liked him, he had many human faults,
but was also the most realistic and human character of them all like ozzy but without the whole blowing up a bunch of cities thing.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one to say Magneto. The man is pretty much my idol. He's brilliant, charming, and FIERCELY protective of his people. Everything that he does is to protect his own people from another holocaust. He's an incredibly strong character.

Also? RIDICULOUSLY BADASS.

Damn Slippy for being so Androgenous!

Anyway, I really liked the skull kid from Majora's Mask.
He did horrible things but it was really not his fault.
Plus, the cut scenes that revealed the fairies' background with him made me feel bad for him.

Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins. She's got the most stupidly implausible clothing of all time, the writers can't decide if she's supposed to be your token evil teammate [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TokenEvilTeammate] or just self-interested, and some of her dialogue appears to be glitched, but underneath all that crap there's a good ambiguous character.
yeah I always found her amusing in a way, and at times while I may not have agreed I could sort of understand some of her veiws..sort of, and besides having Flemeth as your mother I dont think is going to make you grow up as the most well-adjusted person around

also Mirranda...She's a ***** for sure (hell when you first really talk to her she says right then and there she sugested the Idea of a controll chip...a CONTROLL CHIP as in pretty much not only kiddnapping..but brainwashing/slavery) and is also suposed to be fan-service, but when shes not being a ***** she's not so bad

the illusive man is VERY good at suckering you in with his polite and reasonable demeanour, but I know deep down he is not to be trusted

I think with Bioware ***** charachters I seem to want to "fix" them and make them nice

but usually I just hate evil charachters...Ive always had a bit of a black and white
mentality

buuuuut....

Vince and Jules from pulp fiction..I LOVE those guys even though they are just bad men/thugs..at least jules vows to change his ways

oh and Hans landa from Inglorious Basterds, a monster through and through....but so goddamn charming

and sort of Bill from Kill bill...a little
