From Lost Odyssey.

This villain is basically what any kid wants from their video game. Not a Bishonen, not a final boss, not an ambiguous enemy with an interesting personality, nothing complicated or simplistic.

All this guy needed to do was make himself hateful. Seriously, every single time this guy shows up, he makes you want to finish the game so you beat the cr*p out of him for all the things he does to your characters. Similar to Kefka from Final Fantasy III/VI, this villain is simply doing his job of being a villain. He has a gun, there's your family, he shoots them, laughs at your face and escapes through a hidden trapdoor he prepared and taunts you to go after him. That's all you need to make a good video-game villain.
