Top 10 Most Evil Fallout Characters Ranked From Bad to Very, Very Bad 

The things that make Cook-Cook pure evil are so bad that OutsideXbox could not explain it all or this video would become VERY demonetized.

Pickman needs to be swapped out for Eulogy Jones. Pickman specifically targets Raiders. Eulogy Jones puts bomb collars on kids.

The stuff that happened in Nipton was actually worse than described. There were a few people that were beheaded (the "lucky losers"), then there were the crucifixions, the mayor was burned on a pile of tires, third place winners got drug off as slaves, and there is one guy in the trading post. He got to live as the second place winner, but they crippled his legs. The guy you meet on the way in is just the only guy who got to live with no violent repercussions. Oh, I also forgot that anyone who resisted was shot.

I would also add Eulogy Jones, the guy that runs Paradise Falls, since he buys and sells slaves.

As soon as Andy said 'at least he never put an explosive collar on someone', RU-vid cut to an advert of someone wearing one of those pet collars they get after the vets. It felt eerily relevant

A list of 10? Me thinks that somebody's spent too much time around radiation and has sprouted an extra 3 entries 😂

Now that’s not fair to Braun, Andy. He has plenty of regard for other people’s suffering … he just regards it with glee

For those who don't know, Pickman is a reference to a reoccurring character in HP Lovecraft's works, Richard Upton Pickman, first seen in "Pickman's Model", later turned into a Ghoul (the Lovecraft kind, not Fallout) of high standing.

that charter school reminds me of actual tests done on orphans where they were fed radioactive laced food.

A second video is needed. A lot of characters are evil in Fallout.

Here goes Andy again with his anti-cannibal bias. If I'm not supposed to eat people in the Wasteland, then why is it a perk?

Sierra Madre and father Elijah makes him Sierra Padre

The Enclave come to mind as a very evil Fallout faction. In both of their appearances in Fallout 2 and Fallout 3, they have attempted to commit genocide against the people living in the wasteland on the justification that they are the only genetically pure humans left after the apocalypse happened.

If the show being good wasn't enough, making fallout relevant enough again for more oxbox lists is icing on the cake.

"Try to be more open minded" says the guy who refuses to believe synths can be sentient

I mean to be fair to Shaun, everyone else in Fallout 4 makes you wipe out all the other major factions too.

No Myron? He not only invented jet (sorry Bethesda, it's not pre-war), pretty much single-handedly giving a significant portion of the wasteland a crippling drug addiction and giving the Mordinos (one of the worst factions in Fallout 2) significant levels of power over the neighboring communities. He also developed jet by doing _a lot_ of lethal human experimentation on slaves, and it's made very clear he doesn't care about them in the slightest. In the end he mostly did it all just to prove his superiority and also get laid.

I activated Tranquility Lane's fail-safe and left Braun in there without a second thought. Also, no characters from Fallout or Fallout 2? Dick Richardson (mister 'let's kill every non-mutated being in the world') comes readily to mind.

If you are thinking of doing another one of these lists, I'd recommend Dixie from the Fallout 4 Nuka World DLC. The Holotapes of her baiting settlers and then murdering them are proof she's pure evil masked in "Southern Charm"... Oh, and the head of the Gourmands in Fallout 76 (as if you could get Andy to play 76 long enough to get the footage) Dude literally started eating his own people because he got bored, then got kicked out, hid in a cave, ate his own wife, then became a wendigo. He's that evil.

Pickman isn’t a bad guy…..he’s helping stop raiders in his own unique way

Lanius' solution for everything is killing everyone, making the victory of Ceasar's Legion worse with him than with Ceasar.

Dean Domino from dead money which is odd as he’s a companion. Not only does he try to kill you if he thinks your actually capable and doesn’t have something to hold over you but he’s pretty remorseless about how he was trying to ruin Sinclair simple because he was being positive after losing money. Even worse is while never explicitly confirmed, the terminals in the dlc talk about Mr yesterday which sounds like a nickname for dean which reveals him to be in charge of the shoddy construction of the villa and at least partially responsible for the Cloud getting so bad.

It's me. I'm replaying FO4 with a full luck/charisma/endurance build. Her name is Mother. And she has the cannibal perk. I brought you into this world. I can put you back where you came from.

What about George in New Vegas? He makes a 300 caps bet with you that if you can cross the artillery field, he will double your money. If and when you successfully cross the field and return to him, he admits that you are the only one who actually was able to cross the field. Now imagine how many people he sent to their death for a 300 cap bet.

If cook-cook isn’t on here than there’s a problem

Sorry, I’m gonna do it… Father Elijah is the former Brotherhood of Steel Elder, not just a mere scribe.

People simping for Caesar’s Legion like they’re no different from the Taliban.

Solid list though I was expecting Elijah and Caesar to be higher; also glad you put Shaun on the list nothing noble about the institute.

I'd nominate Clint from Fallout 4. He betrayed the Minutemen which created the Quincy Massacre which culminated in a bunch of settlers and minutemen being burned in the middle of the city.

6:42 I just noticed that Caesar looks like Gunther from Friends, the madman. 😂

Pft, Pickman is practically a superhero of the wasteland.

Mr. House picks up a lot of points for being a functionally immortal megacapitalist who seeks the removal of anyone who doesn’t serve his purpose.

Note: any puns about food...run!

Now I know the alternate-timeline story of Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf. Who knew he had it in him to become a New Vegas supervillain?

im suprised we havent seen a single charecter from fallouts 1&2.

Fallout 1 and 2 have plenty of guys who deserve spots over the toaster and Pickman but at least im glad to see Father Elijah made it on to the list

This is Frank Horrigan erasure. Otherwise 10/10.

How could you guys miss Frank Horrigan? The man was a complete psychopath with the body of a super mutant in goddam power armor. The guy was so vicious and brutal that he gave PTSD to Enclave soldiers helping out his extermination missions because he was just that depraved.

Forgetting that Fallout 1 and 2 exist.. What about Frank Horrigan? He was a bad dude even before he was a super mutant. Master is debatable. But yes. Definitely pretty evil.

I feel like the toaster should be replaced with thomas hildern, the ncr scientist who's sent about a dozen people to their death for the promise of caps, except he'll only pay you 1200 caps even if you succeed at the quest. Also he'll try to avoid telling you that he's sent other people in, and avoids giving a clear answer when you press him on it, so it's entirely possible he's responsible for even more deaths. The toaster *is* evil but like,,, he's a toaster and he doesn't even have any way to move. The whole point of both him and muggy is that their entire existence is kinda pointless

What about Veronica in New Vegas? She stole my heart. Not literally, mind you. Yet.

Pickman is a reference to a Lovecraft character. And, while he is morally bankrupt, at least he's cleaning up the Wasteland...

Oh i would add a few. Like Dr Schreber from Fallout 2, the guy that experimented on deathclaws and when they becouse inteligent decided to murder them all, also he disabled his K-9 robodog motor functions and made him watch every horrible think he did just becouse the dog become sentient and developed morals (and didnt like what he was doing). And there is of course Frank Horrigan (Fallout 2), Enclave accidentally made supersoldier and they main hitman... lovely person. There is also Joanne Lynette (also from Fallout 2), the leader of Vault City that clearly hates any outsiders (they are good only as servants... basicly they name for slaves), also wants you to destroy city of Gecko just becouse Ghouls live there (and also radiation but even if you make it better she still wants them dead). One of those characters that you should not shot on sight (quest wise) but you so much want to! There is also Morpheus (in Fallout 1) the cynical opportunist of a cult leader for the Children of the Cathedral (the cult that worship the Master... though Morpheus is there only for money and power). At least Master thought he was saving the world by turning people into mutants, old Morphy didnt give a sh... about humanity. I could go on as there are a lot of evil people in old fallout games but this is too long already :P

I would argue that Roy Phillips is one of the most evil people in Fallout. In Fallout 3, he can be encountered trying to get into Tenpenny Tower, though the guy who controls the electric lock on the front gate says no Ghouls are allowed. A quest can be unlocked from either the door guard or Roy himself to sort out the Tower's "Ghoul problem", either by killing Roy and his two friends, or by helping them get into the tower. Roy wants to go in guns blazing, insisting that the entire populace is bigoted against Ghouls, but you can convince him to let you try to resolve it peacefully. Talking to the residents, a distinct majority, including Allistair Tenpenny himself, are fine with Ghouls coming to live in the tower. Only a handful of residents will angrily leave when asked about sharing the space with Ghouls. Some of the residents are even outright pro-Ghoul, such as Daring Dashwood, a retired adventurer who's best friend, whom he dearly misses, was a Ghoul. After getting the bigots to leave peacefully, Roy, his girlfriend and his bodyguard will move in. Before long, Allistair Tenpenny will disappear, and Roy will claim that Allistair had an "accident" shortly after a "disagreement". What he means is obvious. That was _not_ part of the deal you made with Roy, but you're willing to overlook it, since Tenpenny does indeed have a chequered past and present, so it's entirely believable that he may have said or done something out of line. Upon your next visit to the tower, however, all the nice people you went out of your way to talk to and establish that they're not against Ghouls are gone. Roy's bodyguard Michael will hint to you to check the basement, where you can find the bodies of all the human residents (or maybe the game bugs and there are no bodies to be found, but canonically they're still there). You can then confront Roy about this, and he'll claim that they were all bigoted towards him, you know this can't be true, because you met these people yourself. Roy didn't care about living in the tower, he just wanted an excuse to be violent. Roy's girlfriend Bessie will give the noncommittal statement of "Well if Roy killed them I guess they must have done something wrong", and Michael will claim that he didn't want to kill those people, but figured he'd just go ahead and follow Roy's instructions anyway. You then decide to avenge the noble Daring Dashwood by shooting Roy's head off with a Plasma rifle and then the game deducts karma points from you, because, for some bizarre reason, the game considers Roy to have "good" karma.

ok you got me, even in a most goodie goodie run if i see a skill book marked red you know i'm having it anyway

I wouldn’t call pickman evil more mentally disturbed and he attacks only raiders so I don’t think he’s necessary evil

Definitely hope this gets revisited with some more characters, as there's no shortage of pure evil in Fallout: Frank Horrigan, Ulysses, Thomas Hildern, Dick Richardson, Mortimer, Eulogy Jones, Myron And also the definitely evil, but debatable how much Mr House & The Master The most evil one of all, Jeanne May, what she did to Boone should put her on a list

For my money, the evilest one has to be the supermutant with a flamethrower in Necropolis in Fallout 1. In most of my playthroughs, he ends up cooking Dogmeat and not showing even an ounce of regret.

2:30 If they bring us to the Big MT in a future season of Fallout, I want Peter Dinklage to do the voice of Toaster.

Why are there none from the first two games? There are loads of evil characters in those.

To put Braun into perspective you only have to think about the fact that the good karma ending of Tranquility lane is the one where you hit the failsafe that kills all the other residents and leaves Braun alone for all eternity

So... We not talking about characters from Fallout 1&2?

No Grandma Sparkle? *confused mittensquad noises

There is also Valerie Barstow, the Overseer oa what was to be vault 88. She demonstrates severe lack of empathy, putting people under torturous experiments for "the greater good of humanity" and even comments that you should not feel for the setlers on vault 88.

Myron, I don't need to explain. He got what he deserved

Father Elijah at only #7 is CRAZY

President John Henry Eden would be a good shout.

I have this very important question to ask you... Would you like some toast?

One small gripe. Father Elijah wasn't a scribe, he was an Elder.

#1: the player

There is never enough Fallout content. Please do more

Dima is like his own personal Institute - replacing his oppositions' leadership with synth replicas so he can control the island - and that's the "peaceful" ending.

Wow a list more than 7

OxBox looked at the Master and was like, "nah, that guy's cool"

You forgot Dermot and St James, a pair of slavers who sell a child to the fiends and keep her teddy bear as a trophy.

Everyone in fallout is trying to out-evil everyone else - this is gonna be a fun video

I mean, The Brotherhood of Steel does that as a standard policy when meeting the Mojave Wasteland chapter, so Elijah isn’t incredibly different from them. The evil of allowing Oliver Swanick to live is far worse than any crucification they do.

Pickman got hired to paint the king he can't be all bad

You forgot the most evil 3 of New Vegas. Vulpes İnculpa, Mortimer and Philippe

You should do a list of the most evil backstory characters. The guys you cant actually meet but are responsible for just everything. Like good ole "President" Eckard Lockhart self entitled president of the Appalachia Enclave and creator of the scorched plague.

Pickman was based on a character from Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model" but the original never killed anybody, himself at least, the monsters he seemed to be related to and painted pictures of however...

If only Dave Lister had had some toast every once in a while Talkie the Toaster wouldn't have gone homicidal.

Once Toaster figures out how to tap into the main reactors, everyone will be toast.

I feel like just about any raider leader in the Nuka-Cola DLC for Fallout 4 could have made this list.

I bet you any money the principal of Suffolk County Charter School didn't eat the pink paste.

The Think Tank has some pretty horrible people too. Fallout 1 & 2 (specially Enclave) have a bit less monstrous people compared to 3, new vegas and 4, but some evil for sure. The raiders of the Pitt are practically Ceasars legion, with a few exceptions. And I may be forgetting some, but other than that those were some pretty good choices (I don't remember Pickman very well so I can't say much about him). Tempenny, Cook-Cook and Caesar are really strong selections, while there are many systemic and indirect (or concealed) evil in Fallout, these are super explicit and unremorsed.

You had a chance to reference the opening of New Vegas (worse than a gunshot to the head) at 3:54 and you blew it!

The most evil fallout character is you if you tear the little girls teddy bear in half

Lorenzo Cabot might be worthy of the list too. If you encounter him in the wild after releasing him, he’s apparently proved his son’s allegations. Also, nice choice of armour in 4, I see your character dresses as a hero at the very least. (I use the same one.)

This top 10 list should have "(Bethesda Edition)" in its title

Fallout V - A Radioactive Sea of Total Bastards®

I knew when Pickman was at the bottom of the list it was going to be a good one, and I wasn't disappointed. Cheers!

Vault 88's Valory Barstow should be here. She looked up to Braun and carried out his experiments in F4

You got positive Karma for killing raiders in Fallout 3, even though they were hostile to you by default and you had to do it all the time for self-defence, even if you were trying to play as a villain. This means that Pickman would be regarded as an absolute saint if he just moved to DC.

Whoa. I put this on while playing Fallout 4 and I'm in Suffolk County Charter School right now. What a coincidence 😅.

The evil toaster reminds me of the talking toaster in red dwarf, you know talky, your breakfast companion with light conversation and moderate toasting in the mornings. Hey does anyone feel like some toast?😂😅😊

I like that the player isn't #1. Like sure, we *can* do lots of evil things, but some of these evil-doers do the evil things our character can only dream of. You know, like sitting in a hotel and detonating nukes at your leisure.

Your intro is HILARIOUS. How, exactly, is that not like present-day Earth again, what you said? XD

The fact that the blackhalls, the dunwich company or lorenzo cabot aren't on this list and no one in the comments is mentioning them makes me very disappointed... all of the blackhalls and dunwich were literally trying to raise an eldritch god to rain hell over the earth...

No Iguana Bob? Cannibal vendor actually gets away with it in unmodded Fallout 1, because we can only blackmail him and not send him to jail... and then there's his progeny Mikey in the second game. Who knows what sinister misdeeds is that guy hiding?

I'm joking when I say this, but whatever anonymous madman filled an entire room with plungers and lawns gnomes of various sizes, then took a long walk... across the room's walls and ceiling.

What game is 11:29 from, and where is it? I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find any info about a city nuke other than Megaton.

Frank Horrigan, The Master, Eulogy Jones should be added if you do a subscriber addition video. Frank Horrigan is the right hand man to the president of the enclave in fallout 2 and you see Frank butcher a whole family helpless to do anything. The master abducts humans to turn into supermutants. You may be able to argue he’s not totally evil because he thinks he’s doing the right thing but I find it hard to say the “good guy” dips people into a radioactive virus to make them into super soldiers. And Eulogy Jones. Leader of the slavers in Paradise Falls in Fallout 3 where he oversees the abducting and selling of slaves including children. The wastes are much safer if all three of these people (if you can still call them people) are removed from the equation

Most evil character in the fallout universe? Phil Spencer, no question

Anyone not romancing Curie in FO4 is sus.

To all the Critters out there: hope you enjoyed the Liam O'Brien jumpscare at 8:09

Someone forgot about the Fens Phantom. Maybe not the most evil of them all, but certainly worse than Pickman.

Most evil characters in the 3D games. The Master and Frank Horrigan should absolutely be on this list.

3. President Dick Richardson 2. The Master (aka Richard Grey) 1. Frank Horrigan

Surprised President Eden or Colonel Autumn didn't make the cut.
