Surprised no one has said him but Saruman has to be considered as one of the best. He fooled the White Council into thinking he was good when all along he was just a power-hungry-backstabbing-bastard.

The Lord Ruler and CG all count as Dark Lords far as I'm concerned so bugger the rule. I nominate Morgoth. Unlike Sauron he was far more involved and uber bad ass.
Achievements(Pros):
- commits the first ever murder on Middle Earth.
- recruits an all devouring giant spider to lay waste to the blessed lands
- Has the power to create Mountain ranges.
- Created the Balrog's
- Totally owned Hurin.....hard


cons:
- a tad bit oversensitive.
- Not too good in one on one fights.
- Too similar to a certain biblical figure.


other honorable mentions that to me are pure villains with no redeemable qualities that you can't wait to see get their due:
- Tywin Lannister
- Joffrey Baratheon
- Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane
- The Witch King of Angmaar
- Bayaz

Aye, "The Mountain" is definitely a evil bastard.

Simply put, he makes you sympathize with Sandor Clegane, and Sandor's a lousy, evil bastard himself.
