Easily the most callous, dastardly, and self-destructive villain in HBO's Game of Thrones universe, Cersei Lannister was, at points, television's most despised character, as her thirst for power and hatred of her brother, fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister, put her at direct odds with the heroes of our story.
Joffrey Baratheon is arguably the most hated character in Game of Thrones. As the sadistic and cruel King of the Seven Kingdoms, he delights in inflicting pain and suffering on those around him, including his own family members.

Maegor I Targaryen, also known as Maegor the Cruel, was the third Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne. He was the son of King Aegon I Targaryen and his elder sister-wife, Queen Visenya Targaryen.

Daenerys Targaryen is one of the main characters of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and the HBO adaptation Game of Thrones. Initially one of the main protagonists, years of trauma, loss, fear, and jealousy caused her to descend into madness and vengeance, tragically becoming the TV show's final antagonist.
Unlike his television counterpart, Joffrey's cruelty stemmed from being constantly rejected by Robert his entire life, and it's greatly implied that all of his actions are done to live up to his (alleged) father's standards.
Although often depicted as a heroic character, especially within the TV Series, Tyrion can also be considered a villainous character.

According to the outline, Arya “realizes, with terror, that she has fallen in love with Jon, who is not only her half-brother but a man of the Night's Watch, sworn to celibacy.
However, the prophecy Melisandre repeats to Arya in Season 8 about the eyes she'll "shut forever" — brown, blue, and green — feels far more concrete than the rest. The brown and blue-eyed people were likely Walder Frey and the Night King.
Yoren grabs Arya as she is trying to rush to her father. She is pushing her way through the crowd trying to draw her sword. He holds her still, covers her ears, and keeps her from witnessing the beheading by blocking her view. Once out of the square he cuts Arya's hair with a knife and instructs her to pose as a boy.
Aegon IV Targaryen is a character from the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. He was the eleventh Targaryen king to sit on the Iron Throne. He is also known as Aegon the Unworthy and is widely considered to be one of the worst Targaryen kings to sit on the Iron Throne.
5 Drogon — 'Game of Thrones' (2011-2019)
