Eight classes, eight stories to tell. Between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, there is a ton of content inStar Wars: The Old Republic. And with each story told, you have many obstacles thanks to your antagonists; each story has multiple baddies. Which of them is the most menacing of all?

Bear in mind that we’ll focus only on the threats we face in the main three chapters of each character’s story, leaving expansion content for a later conversation. But in case you want to live - or re-live - these stories, here’s a little incentive for you.
Though we won’t get into major details, there will be minor spoilers, such as basic enemy motivations in this list
18The Voidwolf
Do you even remember this guy? With so many other exciting characters around him, he becomes forgettable fast.
His goal of using crime lords for the Empire is good, and he has his moments, but he doesn’t live up to the extensive expectation everyone has of him.
17General Rakton
Sadly another character who isn’t memorable. Rakton is more interesting than the Voidwolf, but he gets overshadowed by the villains that came before him.
Still, he’s a dedicated soldier, and dealing with the aftermath of this fight comes with compelling moral choices, and the character is a more charismatic baddie.
16Jun Seros
A Jedi seeking revenge. After your Great Hunt targets, you become public enemy number one, with the Jedi Jun Seros hunting you down for killing another Jedi.
Still, his biggest problem is not appearing much before the final confrontation, thus not being as memorable. Truly a shame.
15Rogun The Butcher
Rogun is a building threat throughout the Smuggler’s story; as a crime lord, you get on the wrong side right at the Prologue.

Despite the fantastic concept, he gets downgraded by being manipulated by the Voidwolf, a much less interesting character, making Rogun less remarkable.
14Syo Bakarn
A great idea, just not properly executed. Syo is not a villain, but he’s mind-controlled by the Sith Emperor, gaining an alter-ego known as the First Son. Having a Jedi Master as a villain in disguise is a fun concept.
But the mystery dwells too long, giving little time for the First Son to make a good impression as a baddie.
13Lord Vivicar
Vivicar’s storyline follows a similar concept as Syo’s, but on a smaller scale, being a good foreshadowing for the First Son. Vivicar plagues Jedi to make them go rogue, and he can mind-control them at points.
However, simply by having close Jedi as targets and having to uncover the cure, not to mention Vivicar talking to you through the people he controls as well as his backstory, the execution of this story is a lot better.
12Ardun Kothe
A member of the SIS (Republic Intelligence), you work with him when you turn into a double agent, and he triggers brainwash controls on you, revealing a powerful weapon against you.
He’s a formidable foe if you choose to pursue him. Still, the only reason he’s not as memorable is how he gets overshadowed by Hunter, who we’ll discuss shortly.
11Havoc Squad
Commander Tavus and his gang of traitors are an excellent starting point for the Trooper story, being better villains than General Rakton. You meet and interact with them before their betrayal, and then hunt them down.
Tavus, Needles, Gearbox, Wraith, and Fuse are fun enemies, and they only won’t get further on the list because they didn’t have that much time to shine. They could’ve been villains during all three chapters.
10Nomen Karr
Karr is a curious Jedi who once pretended to be a Sith to infiltrate the order. Though his motivations are more tied to your master than you, he’s still an interesting character.
His duality and pride lead to his downfall, which you can use to twist his Padawan or show her that you’re purer than a Jedi Master.
9Darth Angral
There will be plenty of Darth on this list, so buckle up. Angral wants revenge for his son, who you kill, as he builds a planet destroyer to use on the Republic.
Tracking him and his apprentices down is a fun opening for the Knight story, showing how far the Sith are willing to go for the war. And there are beautiful dramatic moments here, too. So there’s that.
