O my f-list, I turn to you for aid! ...In this case, for aid in collection of trivia, that skill at which so many of you excel.

I am trying to compile a list of fictional characters who self-identify as evil. (Ideally with a note as to whether said self-identification is ironic or not -- though this is, of course, subject to interpretation.) Said self-identification can happen at any point in the character's arc, but must be present self-identification; "I am evil," rather than "I was evil."

Starting with this guy! *points at new icon*

Shakespeare is great for this: Iago, Aaron, John the Bastard are the ones that come to mind to me, but I'm sure there are more! Richard III probably counts as well.

The Enchanted Forest chronicles has the Right Honorable Wicked Stepmothers' Traveling, Drinking and Debating Society, of whom the most notable member is Uncle Rupert (Gentlemen's Auxiliary for Wicked Uncles.) Sadly they are not led by an evil horse.

Some characters from DWJ's Dark Lord of Derkholm might count too. As actually might Tacroy from Lives of Christopher Chant and Charles from Witch Week. Oh, and Howl-the-genie in Castle in the Air.
