Kefka Palazzo (Final Fantasy VI): Kefka Palazzo, the court jester turned god of destruction in Final Fantasy VI, is pure, chaotic evil personified. Unlike villains seeking power for control or ideology, Kefka thrives on suffering and absurdity. His clown-like appearance—bright hair, painted face, and maniacal laugh—masks a deeply sadistic mind. Initially a minor antagonist, he gains godlike power and uses it to burn cities, kill millions, and plunge the world into ruin. His nihilistic philosophy—"I love destruction for its own sake"—makes him unpredictable and terrifying. Kefka doesn’t conquer; he annihilates. His actions drive the game’s darkest moments, including the destruction of the World of Balance. What makes him unforgettable is his complete lack of redeeming qualities—he’s not wronged, not seeking justice, just reveling in madness. His final form, a floating, grotesque abomination, symbolizes the ultimate corruption of power. Kefka remains a benchmark for villainy because he embodies the horror of meaninglessness and the consequences of unchecked cruelty.
