Evil Sorcerer (trope)
Abra Ka-dead!
Within the navel of this hideous wood,
Immured in cypress shades, a sorcerer dwells,
Of Bacchus and of Circe born, great Comus,
Deep skilled in all his mother's witcheries,
And here to every thirsty wanderer
By sly enticement gives his baneful cup,
With many murmurs mixed, whose pleasing poison
The visage quite transforms of him that drinks,
And the inglorious likeness of a beast
Fixes instead, unmoulding reason's mintage
Charactered in the face.
— Comus

The Evil Sorcerer is the living (or occasionally undead) proof of the maxim that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

They're the mage who has delved too deeply into Things Man Was Not Meant to Know and mastered The Dark Arts. They've achieved great power, but at the expense of their soul. They deal in Black Magic and might well have made a Deal with the Devil. Evil Sorcerers are very dangerous foes, as they are creative as well as clever. From them, one can expect anything: hordes of demonic (or undead) Mooks as the bluntest tool, More than Mind Control as the subtlest one, and anything between those two and beyond. They will probably be a Sorcerous Overlord, dwelling in an Evil Tower of Ominousness and ruling the land with an iron — but also magical — fist, though they may also show up as an Evil Chancellor, using their powers to subvert the throne more subtly.

The Evil Sorcerer nearly always gets top billing as a villain, as one of their most common traits is pride. Where they're a second-stringer, they're likely to only be one-upped by a demonic bargain gone wrong — probably because they cheated. This makes them prone to learning the painful lesson that Evil Is Not a Toy. They might also be upstaged by a God of Evil — but then, the most powerful Evil Sorcerers often have delusions of godhood themselves. In a villainous hierarchy, they'll most likely be the Big Bad, The Dragon, or the Evil Genius (though they could also be The Man Behind the Man or, if they're little loyalty to any particular faction, the Wild Card). Killing the Evil Sorcerer is one way to stop their Keystone Army.

The Evil Sorcerer can be at several levels of the Super Weight scale (depending on how strong magic is in a given setting) but he'll almost always be far more powerful than the heroes (unless they manage to get physical with them), and will probably be at least superficially stronger than their good counterparts (owing to possessing powers that the good can't or won't use). If they're an Evil Archmage, everybody should watch out.

It's likely that every sorcerer will be this if Magic Is Evil. Compare the Wicked Witch and (for the more modern descendant) Mad Scientist, although some overlap isn't unheard of. Female versions are likely to also be a Vain Sorceress or Lady of Black Magic. An undead Evil Sorcerer will probably be called a Lich.

Examples:

    open/close all folders 

    Anime & Manga 
  • Arabian Nights: Adventures of Sinbad: Sinbad encounters quite a few of these. Three of them, a Wicked Witch named Tabasa and her two sons Balba and Satajit, are even recurring villains.
  • Berserk has a rare subversion with Daiba who is literally a turban wearing yogi, and initially starts off fighting Guts and his party under the command of the Evil Emperor Ganishka who he serves as adviser. But after his defeat he decides to help out Gut's friend Rickert and proves to be a highly valuable ally.
  • Delicious in Dungeon has the appropriately named Lunatic Magician, who created the titular dungeon and is the true Big Bad of the whole series.
  • Dragon Ball is chock full of these.
  • Deltora Quest:
    • Thaegan is a very vain and evil Sorceress who hates all things beautiful and free (especially birds and people). Though thanks to her powers she's beautiful despite hundreds of years old. Thaegan's redeeming qualities are the fact she's victim of the Shadow Lord and her genuine care for her hell spawn children which was apparent even in the books.
    • Filler Villain Oacus is nothing less than a evil mysterious Sorcerer who loves watching stuff burn and has a creepy fondness for young girls. Like Thaegan he is more just a byproduct of the Shadow Lord's evil, and wasn't born into it.
    • Though it's never stated, the Shadow Lord was a once a human sorcerer, similar to the non-canon Oacus, until he transcended into pure darkness, Sauron-style.
  • Zeref, the Big Bad of Fairy Tail, is a deconstruction. He was just an ordinary young man who was cursed by a Jerkass God for his curiosity and dedication to resurrecting someone important to him, turning him into a Walking Wasteland with Complete Immortality who stole life the more he valued it. Many of his inventions, which could easily be used for evil in the wrong hands, were made to reunite him with said cherished person, and the legion of demons he created were designed to help him end his own life. His actual Start of Darkness began after he accidentally "killed" the love of his life and came to believe that Humans Are Bastards thanks to the unique perspective his immortality provides on the more unfortunate side of human nature, leading him to embrace his image as the ultimat evil.
  • Jujutsu Kaisen: While the users of the local variant of Functional Magic are known as Jujutsu Sorcerers, those who break the laws of Jujutsu society in some way –- usually, but not always, for nefarious reasons –- earn the moniker of Curse Users. The distinction is largely "legal", since both categories have the same types of powers and are bound by the same supernatural rules, and Sorcerers can and do become Curse Users from time to time. Among these, there are a few noteworthy examples:
    • Suguru Geto serves as the main antagonist of the Volume 0 prequel, being a Special Grade Curse User who used to be a Sorcerer. He has an ideology revolving around Fantastic Racism which proclaims non-sorcerers (normal humans) ought to be exterminated and/or enslaved to allow for the superior men (Sorcerers) to evolve and become the natural next step in human evolution. To do this, he gathered a small cabal of loyal Curse Users and an absolutely massive army of Cursed Spirits enslaved through his Technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
    • Ryomen Sukuna, the secondary Big Bad of the main series, was the most powerful Curse User a millennium ago, at the height of Jujutsu sorcery during the Heian era, earning the title of "the King of Curses". Eventually, he died and rose again as an Imaginary Vengeful Spirit, before being defeated and his power and soul sealed into his twenty fingers. Unlike Geto, who is a Manipulative Bastard with ultimately noble (if extreme) intentions, Sukuna lives only for violence, bloodshed and his own amusement stemming from such, having led a lonely life of wanton slaughter and cannibalism prior to his sealing. He even prefers Good Old Fisticuffs to using his supremely powerful Techniques in combat, though in terms of Jujutsu talent and understanding, he remains near-unrivalled.
    • Kenjaku, the Sorcerer currently inhabiting Suguru Geto's body, serves as the series' main antagonist and The Man Behind the Man for most other villains and events. In fact, he fits this trope so well that, during one of his lifetimes, he earned himself the title of "the evilest Sorcerer in history". Being at least a millennium old, he survived the centuries by body-snatching corpses with his Innate Technique, which allows him to transplant his brain into others and access the bodies' memories, Cursed Energy and Innate Techniques. He also just so happens to be a Mad Scientist and Evilutionary Biologist with a rather amoral approach to his experiments. Combining his supreme insight into Jujutsu with a powerful cheat technique and penchant for manipulation make Kenjaku one of the most classic examples of the trope
  • In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (2005), the evil wizard Agahnim reprises his role as the main villain. However, instead of being merely a disguise of Ganon, this time he's a former friend of Link's father who swore allegiance to Ganon in exchange for powerful magic.
  • Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Precia Testarossa also has Mad Scientist leanings thanks to the Magitek setting. She's also an abusive mother to Fate.
  • Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic: Many members of Al-Thamen qualify, but the most notable example is Judar.
  • Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
    • The Mage of Beginnings/Lifemaker, the Greater-Scope Villain who was the Big Bad during the days of Nagi's Ala Rubra and creator of Cosmo Entelecheia. The Mage dies but eventually comes back and becomes the Big Bad again.
    • In-story, most mages think Evangeline is like this, but those who have actually met her know that she's really not so bad.

    Audio Plays

        Lord Satanis: "Like the gullible fools they are, the people of this village nursed me back to health when they should have killed me as the agent of the Anti-God that I had sworn to become. Only these fools had seen me weak and helpless, and so I paid them back for their kindness... by summoning forth the great poisonous serpents which were mine to control."
      • Karmang, the Big Bad of the Superman vs. Shazam! crossover, is a very old and very mad sorcerer who intends to destroy two parallel Earths. He is powerful enough to crush Black Adam easily, and his fire spells almost burn Supergirl and Mary Marvel to ashes.

  • The Phantom Blot takes on this role in Wizards of Mickey.

    Comic Strips

    Fairy Tales 

    Fan Fiction 
  • Child of the Storm has a number:
    • The most prominent examples are Voldemort and Gravemoss, the latter a specialist Necromancer and terrifyingly dangerous even before he got hold of the Darkhold. Pretty much anyone else who uses Dark Magic is this, owing to its corruptive nature.
    • Grindelwald — who apparently did a number of deals to amp himself to power levels generally described (by Loki, who would know) as 'god-like'. Strange stripped him of most of this power, flattening most of Berlin in the process, and left him and Dumbledore to fight on more even terms.
    • Kemmler, a mortal wandless Necromancer of immense power and evil who returned from the grave so often his coffin should have had a revolving lid. He engineered World War I to get raw material for his work, then popped up again during World War II, reanimating mass graves under Grindelwald's command. He was finally destroyed in 1962, triggering the Buin Zahra earthquake as a side-effect, killing over 12,000 people.
    • Baron Mordo, in this canon a wayward apprentice of Doctor Strange, and one of considerable power.
    • Doctor Doom might be this — no one's quite sure if he actually uses dark magic or not, but the aforementioned Mordo is his teacher...
  • Hellsister Trilogy: Mordru is an elderly sorcerer of immense power who gathers an army of super-villains in order to annihilate the Legion of Super-Heroes and destroy several worlds who did or might oppose him as he attempts to make himself one with his universe's essence of evil.
  • The Night Unfurls: Although not the Big Bad, Shamuhaza is still the Arc Villain of the two story arcs that marks this fanfic's Serial Escalation. He ticks off most of, if not all, the boxes of this trope. Has a legion of mutated Elite Mooks with Body Horror? Check. Tampers with Things Man Was Not Meant to Know (or in this case, the Eldritch Truth)? Check. Strives to gain great power at the expense of his sanity and soul? Check. Oh, and he also ends up turning into an Eldritch Abomination himself.
  • Queen of All Oni: In addition to the canonical Daolon Wong, there's also Lung, Blankman, and Monsieur Verde. Jade is also well on her way to becoming one, thanks to the Teachings of Eternal Shadow.
  • There and Back Again (NaerysBlackfyre90): Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers, the Three-Eyed Raven, is depicted as one of these thanks to his extensive warging powers and ability to siphon Blood Magic. He sabotages Jon Snow by transferring the magic in his blood into Daenerys Targaryen and Bran Stark, sapping much of his intelligence. He also took over Bran Stark's body, either assimilating his consciousness or leaving it to die in his cave when it was attacked. From that point, Bloodraven (as Bran) engineered the Long Night and the Destruction of King's Landing so that Jon Snow would be exiled as he was, while Bloodraven would rule as an Immortal Ruler.

  • Mestema of The Dungeonmaster uses his powers to bring the hero and his girlfriend from Earth to his dimension.
  • Dungeons & Dragons (2000): Profion is an evil Mage, as well as a tyrant who greatly opposed Commoners. Both his and his followers' evil nature and their hatred against Commoners whom they see as slaves were the reason why some people, including protagonist Ridley, initially greatly despise Mages in the first place.
  • In The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein's arch-rival is the immortal sorcerer Cagliostro, who murders Frankenstein and usurps control of his monster.
  • A Field in England is about an evil alchemist forcing a group of deserters from the English Civil War to hunt for treasure in a field.

  • Ghostbusters II: 17th-century mass-murdering tyrant Vigo the Carpathian, who "dabbled in all the black arts", was, at the age of 105, "poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered". Spiritually preserved in a self-portrait, he later draws strength from New York's underground river of anger-infused psycho-magnatheric Mood Slime. Having bent to his will Dr Janosz Poha, Vigo tries to transfer himself to Dana Barrett's baby son Oscar.
  • Sardo Numspa in The Golden Child. He is a demon who is the leader of a secret Tibetan cult of devil worshippers.
  • Lord Voldemort of the Harry Potter films and books. Before his rise, there was Gellert Grindelwald, who was powerful enough to fight a dozen American Aurors at once and nearly win in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
  • In Hellboy (2004), Grigori Rasputin is seen working with the Nazis, demonstrates great occult abilities linked with the underworld, and is depicted as being nearly immortal; every time he dies, he is resurrected with a part of his god within his body.
  • In the Name of the King has Gallian. Interestingly, the king's own magus Merick is surprised that Gallian has any magic at all, as a magus's power comes from serving a king. However, Gallian has managed to find a loophole. He has named himself the king of the beastly Krug (after magically uplifting them) and, thus, serves himself. It's implied that only a twisted mind like Gallian's could have accepted this enough to allow this to work.
  • King Arthur: Legend of the Sword: Mordred and later Vortigern.
    • Mordred, is an iron-fisted warlock, and his armies lay siege to Camelot, seeking to establish the dominance of mages over humankind.
    • Vortigern is Uther's brother, Elsa's husband, Catia's father, Arthur's uncle and the tyrannical and ruthless king of Britain. He is able to transform himself into a demonic knight.
  • Lord of Illusions: Nix is an evil wizard who has actual magical powers and deems himself a god. He sees it as his mission to turn the world into a graveyard. He becomes a lich after his cultists revive him.
  • Mandy (2018): Jeremiah Sand is a modern-day version of this. He is the leader of a hippie cult who may or may not have magical powers, based heavily on Charles Manson in how he manipulates his followers to do his bidding. Naturally, he serves as the Big Bad in the film's Heroic Fantasy take on Fantasy Americana, kidnapping and murdering the protagonist's titular girlfriend.
  • Marvel Cinematic Universe:
  • In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Blackbeard is one of these, presented as a master practitioner of Hollywood Voodoo capable of creating zombies, exercising Mind over Matter power over ships, shrinking captured ships to keep in bottles as trophies, and creating voodoo dolls.
  • The Shadow has Shiwan Khan, the last descendant of Genghis Khan, who was taught by the same teacher (whom Shiwan then killed) as Lamont. In fact, Shiwan is strong enough to cloud the minds of all New Yorkers by making them not see a huge building in the middle of the city. In the end, Lamont proves himself more than a match for Shiwan and has a surgeon friend of his removes Shiwan's Psychic Powers through brain surgery.
  • Subverted in Sherlock Holmes (2009); Lord Blackwood is a practicing occultist, a highly ranked member of an Ancient Conspiracy, and has designs on the British crown, but all his "powers" are just smoke and mirrors.
  • Films based off Sinbad the Sailor usually have one, especially those produced by (and Starring Special Effects of) Ray Harryhausen.
  • The Sorcerer's Apprentice has the Morganians, who are an entire group of sorcerer's who follow Morgana's teachings. The key among them, besides Morgana herself, is Maxim Horvath, who is one of Merlin's apprentices until he chose to serve Morgana. Morganians are opposed by Merlinians, the followers of Merlin's teachings that magic is to be used to serve humanity. The film only shows three of them (Balthazar, Veronica, and Dave) and no indication is made that more are (or were) present.
  • Sorceress: Traigon, so much that he planned to sacrifice his own child for power.
  • Star Wars: Given that the movies are Heroic Fantasy in a Space Opera setting, Emperor Palpatine could be described as one of these. This is a major temptation for Anakin Skywalker as well. Essentially, the Sith come in two flavors: those who are the Evil Counterpart of the Jedi, with an emphasis on lightsaber fighting and visceral use of the Force, and those who are evil sorcerers, who tend more to the "create horrible twisted mockeries of nature" end of the Dark Side spectrum (Palpatine combines the two).
  • The title character in Warlock (1989) and its sequels is a servant of Satan, tries to destroy the world, and kills and mutilates innocent people for fun.
  • Queen Bavmorda from Willow is one and has a few others in her service, helping her with evil rituals and the like.

    Live-Action TV 
  • Turok and Rumina from The Adventures of Sinbad. Turok is an evil sorcerer that is featured in the first two episodes, and the season one finale. Rumina is the daughter of Turok and the main villain of the first season. She loves Sinbad, but hates him for murdering her father. Rumina is an expert in black magic, which is easy to learn compared to white magic. Rumina is also obsessed with killing Maeve, something she never manages to accomplish. In the planned third season, Rumina would have made her return, and it was to be revealed she and Bryn were sisters.
  • Angel: Cyrus Vail from The Circle of the Black Thorn, a frail, elderly, incredibly powerful warlock.
  • Blood Ties (2007): Pacha Camac is an Incan priest who has himself mummified so that he can be resurrected in the future. After that, he starts sucking the life force out of the people around him. He wants to make himself even more powerful and immortal by sucking the life out of a vampire (how's that for irony?).
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
    • There are several hints that Giles used to be one. Ethan frequently remarks that he never got even close to his old friend in both power and depravity.
    • The Master is one, though his magical abilities are more pronounced in supplementary material than the actual series.
  • Vern and Omen in Dark Oracle. Subverted by Doyle; he's creepy and neurotic, and it is repeatedly suggested that he is the real cause of all the twins' problems. He remains one of the good guys until the end though, becoming a semi-Mentor to the main cast.
    • Blaze and Violet are borderline cases. They definitely have magic of some sort, and ally with Omen and Vern at various points, but their magic is rarely shown.
  • Doctor Who: The Master is basically the Science Fantasy equivalent — the first Master summons demons, "Harold Saxon" arranges for his own resurrection in a scene straight out of Harry Potter, and the Mistress creates an army of zombie Cybermen driven by the minds/souls of the dead. Contrast with the Doctor, who's been explicitly compared to Merlin or a general "good wizard".
  • Maldis from Farscape is a malevolent, powerful supernatural being who has reached a non-corporeal form and possesses considerable spiritual powers. He gains strength from the life forces of others' pain and death and as a result uses his abilities to encourage negative emotions such as fear, anger, hate, and pain in his victims.
  • Game of Thrones: Melisandre boasts magical abilities, although it's handled in a subtle, non-flashy way. Melisandre herself mentions that most of her more flamboyant displays of power are actually clever fakes, used to impress the impressionable. The limits of her true powers are unknown.
  • One Villain of the Week in Genseishin Justiriser is the broomstick-riding, alien wizard Gargoid.
  • Kamen Rider:
  • Legend of the Seeker: Darken Rahl, the Big Bad of the first season, has some magical abilities, not that we see many of those. The one we see several times is his ability to do an Offscreen Teleportation during sword battles to stab the opponent in the back. He also has many sorcerers serving him, including a Wizard of the First Order named Giller. The Bad Future season finale also features Nicholas Rahl, the son of Darken Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, combining his parents abilities to become an even worse tyrant than his father. It's stated that the entire Rahl bloodline is full of examples of this trope. In fact, Darken's father Panis is actually a relatively mild example (especially compared to his son), whose main on-screen villainy comes from a Bed Trick (to produce Richard to rival Darken) and killing Zedd's father (which he may or may not have deserved for trying to kill baby Darken).
  • Kreel in The Legend of William Tell. Kreel, a dark magician, raises Xax to overthrow the King and Queen and take control of the country.
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Sauron is described as "a cruel and cunning sorcerer" in Galadriel's prologue speech.
  • Metal Heroes:
  • Riverdale: Percival Pickens, the Big Bad of the sixth season, practices dark magic and conjures spells to manipulate the town. He can also control people's minds with his voice to further corrupt them in his plans.
  • Robin of Sherwood had two successive ones as recurring villains. Notable for avoiding Suspiciously Similar Substitute and making them very different characters in terms of personality, background, and magical style.
    • Baron de Belleme is an icy Satanist Norman aristocrat with Hermetic powers and a tendency to brainwash people who actively uses magic to fight his enemies and seeks the limelight at every opportunity.
    • Gulnar is a deranged, giggly, disheveled, Welsh pagan shaman who prefers to raise undead or magical creatures to use as his Mooks, likes to hide in the background of events, and tends to "flight" rather than "fight" reactions when things start to go wrong.
  • Stranger Things: The fourth season has Vecna (christened after a lich from Dungeons & Dragons), a Humanoid Abomination who "curses" troubled teens as a Freddy Krueger-esque monstrous Dream Walker. In actuality, he is Henry Creel, a human mutant with Psychic Powers who was used by the Department of Energy to develop more Psychic Children such as Eleven, after which Eleven banished him to the Upside Down due to his Beware the Superman behaviour. He isn't remotely human anymore, and is the closest equivalent to an actual evil sorcerer within the relatively realistic setting.
  • Storm of the Century: Andre Linoge is either one of these or an actual devil.
  • Super Sentai:
    • Himitsu Sentai Gorenger: The Black Cross Fuhrer's highest-ranking general, Golden Mask, is a powerful sorcerer versed in astrology and Ancient Egyptian mysticism.
    • Battle Fever J: The higher ranks of Secret Society Egos are comprised of mystics who practice Egos' arcane "primordial science".
    • Denshi Sentai Denziman: Queen Hedrian is a highly skilled magic user who can utilize her magic to do things such as cast illusions or summon Vader Monsters.
    • Hikari Sentai Maskman has Anagmas, a giant bat creature who is also a powerful sorcerer and the Magic Librarian in charge of Tube's records. He's also one of the more competent members of Emperor Zeba's inner circle, which is likely why Zeba seems to favor him. Zeba also shows signs of being one himself, given his "Dark Holon" powers and the mystical feats they're capable of.
    • Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger has Witch Bandora, a sorceress seeking to kill all the children on Earth. She even received her magical powers through a pact with Satan.

    Music 
  • From the Albums of Gloryhammer, we have Zargothrax the Dark Sorcerer of Auchtermuchty. On the album Tales from the Kingdom of Fife, he invades Dundee with an Army of Undead Unicorns and traps the beautiful princess Iona McDougall in ice. On the second album, Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, his actions cause the Earth to be destroyed. On the third, Legends from Beyond The Galactic Terrorvortex, Zargothrax is mentioned as having corrupted the Knights of Crail and turned their Grand Master, Proletius, from one of Angus' closest allies into a willing servant of Evil.
  • Hexenmeister by the German folk-metal band Morgenstern is a song from the perspective of a warlock, who explains to the Torches and Pitchforks mob why exactly it is a bad idea to mess with him.

    Mythology & Religion 
  • Morgan le Fay is portrayed as a powerful sorceress with evil intent in most versions of Arthurian Legend.
  • In the Malian Epic Of Sundiata, the historical king of Sosso, Soumaoro Kanté, was portrayed as an evil sorcerer king who oppresses his people and takes advantage of the fall of the Ghana Empire to conquer his neighbors before being defeated and overthrown by an alliance of states lead by the Mandinka prince Sundiata Keita. Sundiata would then go on to form the Kingdom of Mali.

    Pinball 
  • The unnamed evil sorcerer in Flash Dragon likes to take pictures of players.
  • Zenobia, the evil sorceress of Sinbad
  • Sorcerer (1985) has the player challenge one of these.

    Tabletop Games 
  • Call of Cthulhu: Almost all magic users will turn into this, spend the rest of their lives eating bugs in an insane asylum, or else die so horribly that seeing their remains could cause Sanity loss on the Sanity Meter. The "or" in the proceeding sentence is not an exclusive or, and you can bet the head of a cult will fit this trope well. Magic Is Evil here.
  • Chronicles of Darkness:
    • Mage: The Awakening offers the Seers of the Throne, a group of mages seeking to enforce their masters' control over reality while advancing themselves in the process, and the Scelesti, mages who seek to give reality over to the Abyss, which embodies everything antithetical to existence.
    • Princess: The Hopeful: A Mnemosyne is a former human who welcomed the Darkness in without a fight, meaning that the Darkness did not need to destroy its human mind to remake it into its servant. They can learn to use Calignes, and their retention of their human bodies and minds allows them to interact with normal society and act as commanders for the more bestial Darkspawn.
  • CthulhuTech is the marriage of Real Robot Genre mecha anime, The Guyver, and Call of Cthulhu. Needless to say, twisted sorcerers are a dime a dozen.
  • Dungeons & Dragons loves this trope. By campaign setting:
    • Dragonlance: As mentioned above, Raistlin and Fistandantilus.
      • And Dalamar, Maladar, Galan Dracos, most Renegades, and the Order of the Black Robes (though the latter are admittedly often Affably Evil Anti Villains or Anti Heroes, as most are more self-serving and amoral).
    • Forgotten Realms: Halaster Blackcloak, Manshoon(s), the ruling council of the city of Shade, Szass Tam and the rest of the Red Wizards of Thay. And these are just the most notable/infamous. There's probably hundreds of 'em.
    • Greyhawk: Vecna (who eventually ascends to godhood), Rary the Traitor, the infamous Acererak.
      • There is also Iggwilv the Witch Queen, who is considered to be the greatest expert on demons who ever lived. One of her sons is the child of a powerful demon lord and accended to divinity. Even though she's hundreds of years old, she looks not a day older than 40 at most.
    • Mystara: Bargle the Infamous.
    • Ravenloft: Azalin Rex, a Tragic Villain example.
    • Eberron gives us Erandis Vol, an undead half-elf/half-dragon sorceress who founded a cult dedicated to her worship. She is a Dark Messiah who was supposed to bring an end to an ancient war between elves and dragons. It worked, but not the way intended: both races considered her an abomination and joined forces to destroy her family. Vol's mother turned her into a lich, allowing her to survive and seek her revenge.
    • Planescape gave us a few, including Alhison Nilesia, the cruel mistress of the wretched Prison of Sigil, Lothar the Master of Bones, Komosahl Trevant, Alluvius Ruskin, and even a few demons and devils that had taken up wizardry, such as A'kin and Shemeshka. Every Night Hag counts as well, being a race of giant soul-stealing crone witches.
      • Subverted with Factol Skall, who is technically a neutral evil lich, though he is only evil to the extent that his philosophy is that life is irrelevant. He does not kill, but persuades others to accept true death as a release from the woes of life.
      • And of course there are the many, many diabolic powers such as Orcus and Asmodeus, the various gods who can certainly fall into this role, and so on.
    • Acererak the lich takes the "evil" part to absurd levels. His list of transgressions against humanity includes constructing multiple dungeons solely to gather victims to torture, enslaving civilizations, nurturing a god that could destroy the world, gathering the souls of all creatures on an entire planet for that purpose, trapping the soul of a 10-year old in an undead construct, and being so gruesome that he traumatized an eldritch abomination.
  • Exalted, being a fairly high-magic setting, has a couple. The Perfect of Paragon isn't that bad a guy in some ways, but he rules using a magical artifact called the Staff of Peace and Order that lets him have people swear magically backed oaths on it, kill them if they break the oath, and hijack their senses and even bodies at will (he also has some pretty impressive powers of his own, but the Staff blows them out of the water). Raksi, Queen of Fangs, is a baby-eating shapeshifter who, despite being more powerful than all but a few hundred other people could ever hope for, is obsessed with the power that will remain forever out of her reach. (Ability to access magic is limited by in-universe character tiers; she's not at the top tier, and so can't get to the best magic.) Both of them rule their chosen city-states with iron fists, although the Perfect's people are generally happier with their government than Raksi's.
  • Feng Shui: The 69 AD juncture is ruled by the Eaters of the Lotus, a sinister cabal of evil eunuch sorcerers and their human and demonic servants. The Four Monarchs, banished to the Netherworld, are another example, except for the smartest one of the lot who's not so bad anymore for someone who ruled 1/4th of the world for centuries with absolute power. The best part about the price they pay? They either don't care or they think it's awesome.
  • Godforsaken: Some wizards and sorcerers are tempted by dark magic, damning their souls and corrupting their flesh as they delve into forbidden lore.
  • Magic: The Gathering:
    • Lim-Dûl, the Necromancer, whose hordes of undead and demons plagued the continent of Terisiare during the Ice Age; Lim-Dûl is later revealed to be another Evil Sorcerer, Mairsil the Pretender, whose soul had been trapped and possessed an innocent man years later.
    • Lim-Dûl was followed shortly after by Heidar of Rimewind, a mad ice wizard who wanted to return the world to a second Ice Age.
    • Lord Dralnu, the Lich-Lord of Urborg, a zombie wizard with whom the forces of good were forced to ally against the invading Phyrexians.
    • Memnarch, an evil artificial being with powerful magical abilities.
    • Virot Maglan, the Cabal Patriarch, who runs a sorcerous mafia.
    • The Big Bad Nicol Bolas is an Evil Sorcerer Dragon. He is the oldest and the last of the Elder Dragons in a setting where dragons become more powerful and dangerous with age. While he was originally represented in-game as an "ordinary" legend type creature card (with a special ability that has him Mind Rape the opponent instead of dealing damage), he is now a planeswalker. As in a Physical God.
  • Old World of Darkness: The Sorcerer sourcebook detailed many ways to play this trope out, though Sorcerers were not inherently evil.
  • Pathfinder loves this trope oh-so-much. Nex, Geb, Tar-Barphon, Karzoug and six other Runelords, Adivion Adrissant, The Splatter Man, Arazni, Areelu Vorlesh, Vordakai, and dozens more are in the setting. It's rare for an adventure not to have at least one, even if they aren't the primary antagonist.
  • Spirit of the Century:
    • The supplement Spirit of the Season brings magic more fully into the game, and naturally has a couple of magical villains, including Salomon Mizrahi, a evil kabbalist who is convinced he is a Tzadikim Nistarim, one of the 36 Righteous People whose existence supports that of the world. Interestingly, he's actually better at Science! than he is at magic, making him particularly dangerous.
    • His mentor (and general Big Bad of SotC) Dr. Methusala may be considered to fall under this trope with his mastery of the 10 equations and ability to radically alter reality, and blur the line between science and magic (then again, SotC treats magic as being answerable to science, just not till it's properly studied).
  • Unknown Armies plays with this trope. Magic is not inherently evil, but it draws peoples whose values are so alien to normal that they can't really be expected to uphold normal human ethics. As a consequence, this trope shows up, but much less than you expect from a modern horror game. When one adept gets power from subverting their sexuality to a porn star, another from having money (not using it, just having it), and a third from collecting (but not studying) old books, you can't expect these people to be terribly sane, can you?
  • Warhammer: The setting has no shortage of these whatsoever — generally, any and all necromancers and Chaos, dark elf or vampire sorcerers can be counted on to be unscrupulous, malicious and power-hungry maniacs with no compunction about performing horrific arcane experiments, raising armies of undead and gibbering abominations, and generally making life miserable for everyone else.
  • Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: While all members of the Arcanite Cults have some level of arcane skill, the Magisters of the Cult's leadership are the true masters of The Dark Arts who will stop at nothing to lead their Cult to victory and gain favour with their profane god. Having sold their souls to Tzeentch, the Chaos God of Sorcery, magical energy saturates their bodies allowing the Magister to draw upon the raw power of Chaos to power their spells.
  • Warhammer 40,000: Lots of people, since all the factions are mostly evil, and most of them use sorcery to some extent. Chaos Space Marine sorcerers are the most glaring example, being seven foot tall genetically engineered warriors in power armour, AND having the protection of evil gods, and they hate everybody and want unlimited power. However, they pay a price, suffering ever-increasing madness and horrible mutations such as extra limbs, heads, eyes inside their mouths, et cetera.

    Theatre 
  • Comus in John Milton's Comus, with a fondness for Forced Transformation.
  • The Enchanter (who exists only in Don Quixote's mind) in Man of La Mancha.
  • Klingsor from Richard Wagner's Parsifal. An evil magician, he has sworn to destroy the Knights of the Grail, who have rejected him. He wanted to join them, but knowing that his sinful and lustful way of life would exclude him, he castrated himself all to no avail.
  • Elphaba in Wicked is treated as this by the citizens of Oz, but we find out in the show that she is Not Evil, Just Misunderstood. Madame Morrible would be a more clear-cut example, using her sorcery to gain more political power for herself throughout Oz. She even summons a twister to murder Elphaba's sister so Elphaba would be grief-stricken and thus vulnerable for attack.
  • Advertising posters for stage magicians in the 19th-early 20th centuries like Harry Kellar◊ and Howard Thurston◊ often showed them as consorting with demons to play up on the "magic as a Deal with the Devil" angle.
  • Von Rothbart from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is a classic example. This being ballet, his motives are never explained beyond his wish to transform maidens into swans.

    Theme Parks 

    Toys 
  • One of the earliest LEGO minifigures was actually called Evil Wizard. They've followed up with the Evil Wizard of the Castle 2007 theme, the Evil Dragon Wizard in the 2013 revival, and the Evil Wizard in the LEGO Minifigures theme.
  • Playmobil features some of these. In their "Dragon Land" theme, there's an evil sorcerer who lives in a tower, and the "Fi?ures" theme features a green traditional wizard who has the evil style of eyes and colors matching those of the evil soldiers in the "Dragon Land" theme.

    Webcomics 
  • Crimson Knights: The Brotherhood of the Snake is an entire secret society of these. Also, fighting Black Magic users is the second part of Crimson Knights' profession alongside monster-slaying.
  • Wanda, the croakamancer from Erfworld.
  • In Nixvir, Alan Moore is portrayed this way, being portrayed as a Little Bit Beastly badger-like creature who flies around in a flying ship called the Pristis (named in reference to the ship of the same name from The Aeneid) terrorising a nearby town. He lives in a gigantic house called Moore Manor with his heavily pregnant Lamian wife and his entire army of sentient cocoa beans.
  • The Order of the Stick:
    • Xykon, the Big Bad, is a literal sorcerer; a spellcaster who was born with his powers rather than learning magic through study.
    • Vaarsuvius becoems one for a while, thanks to an obsession with ultimate power, and briefly goes off the deep end after splicing the souls of three damned wizards to their own in exchange for power.
    • Nale is this in a strictly literal sense— he's Evil and has levels in Sorceror — but he doesn't really fit the spirit of the trope, as Sorceror is not his only character class, meaning his magic is much weaker than that of the above characters and rarely gets used. It's not played up as much as his being Elan's brother and leader of the Linear Guild.
  • Princess Princess (2012): Claire can do magic, and only uses it to harm other people.
  • Rusty and Co.: Calamitus is a comically inept if still quite dangerous one. He may also be a lich, as he has stated that he has transcended the flesh and is not alive.
  • Tails of Lanschilandia: Kakralomino, the Big Bad, although with more of a focus on his Evil Overlord characteristics than his magic abilities.

    Web Originals 
  • The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids:
    • The Dark Lords of Shenanig, a centuries-old dynasty of proudly evil sorcerers whose magic is powered by The Power of Hate. The line culminates in Emperor Steer, who is both the most powerful and the most unstable holder of the title in recorded history, much unlike his predecessor Lord Nefarious, a Noble Demon who was "a good ruler — albeit not a good man".
    • Mandragora, Pythe's Arch-Enemy, is an alchemist who went mad in his quest for ultimate enlightenment, and has also used other schools of magic to achieve his ends, including demon-summoning.
  • The first campaign of Critical Role has Lady Delilah Briarwood, a Lady of Black Magic with a focus on necromancy, and one of two primary nemeses of Percy de Rolo, the other being her vampiric husband Sylas.
  • How to Hero features a few of these. Generally as nameless archetypes such as "dark mages" or "evil wizards." Potentially your local village mystic might turn out to be one.
  • Mahu: In "Frozen Flame" there are stories of a great mage which devastated the continent, only to be defeated by the the father of prince Arius. Some of its minions still roam the land and are quite dangerous.
  • Parodied in I live in a low income barony, which imagines an Evil Sorcerer in the same way as a real-life criminal or gangster, using the "I live in a low-income housing environment" copypasta as a template. The subsequent "Hexcore" rap album would take this to its logical extreme, with the Evil Sorcerer dropping bars so hot, they could melt the One Ring.

    Western Animation 
  • Aladdin: The Series: Mozenrath, Caliph Kapok and Khartoum.
    • Mozenrath is a power-hungry young sorcerer and is quite open and accepting about his own cruelty; in his first appearance, he talked about his sadistic, barbarous, and ruthless master Destane, who Mozenrath sarcastically referred to as being "like a father" to him. He is always accompanied by his flying eel familiar; Xerxes.
    • Caliph Kapok is the disembodied head of a wizard. His head is cold, calculating, and extremely malevolent. Without the compassion or emotions that come from his heart, he only thinks logically. His body is benevolent and (without his evil head) full of compassion, making it a beloved leader.
    • Khartoum is a supremely powerful, evil wizard imprisoned on the cover of a large magical book by his longtime enemies. His only hope of release is a magical gem called the Philosopher's Stone which contains the god-like energy and abilities of the cosmos itself. All he needs is someone greedy enough to create the stone and willingly release him from his prison.
  • Ben 10: Hex is a self-proclaimed "Master Magician" who desires to rule the world with his vast magic powers and lives in a large tower-like building.
  • Care Bears: No Heart is an evil sorcerer and shapeshifter who commands a lot of magic spells. His goal is to destroy both the Care Bears and all caring in the world from his home (since he rarely likes to go out), which rests atop a perpetual storm cloud, to make it easier for him to take over the world.
  • Dave the Barbarian: Malsquando, Princess Irmoplotz and Queen Zonthara.
    • Malsquando is a secondary antagonist and Oswidge's archrival.
    • Princess Irmaplotz is the evil sorceress princess of Hyrogoth that is trying to destroy Dave the Barbarian (or more likely she just wants to make Dave's life miserable).
    • Queen Zonthara is the ruler of Hyrogoth, and keeps on trying to teach her daughter Irmaplotz to be more evil.
  • The Dragon Prince: Viren's a master of Dark Magic, and is exactly as morally principled as you'd expect a master of Dark Magic to be.
  • DuckTales (2017): Magica De Spell, the Arc Villain of season 1 and probably one of Scrooge McDuck's most dangerous foes. She is shown to be a truly powerful soreceress who also would use her power to conquer villages to rule as an Evil Overlord along with her brother. She would later be banished by Scrooge but freed in the season 1 finale where she uses her powers to cast an army of Living Shadows to conquer the whole world and get Revenge on Scrooge. However, once the heroes defeat her and take away her magic amulet and her staff, she is shown to no longer have any powers.
  • Gargoyles: The Archmage. Demona, the primary Big Bad of the series, was formerly his apprentice and, although not as powerful (she makes up for it by being physically tougher and tech-savvy), she often uses magic in her plots.
  • Jackie Chan Adventures: There are eight demon sorcerers who make up the Big Bad Duumvirate of the second season, with one of them, Shendu, acting as the primary antagonist for a good chunk of the show.
  • Little Wizards: Renvick is a powerful and malevolent magician who used his powers to take over a kingdom upon the death of its benevolent king through the sheer strength of his magic. His sorcery is so powerful that the rightful heir, Prince Dexter, turned to studying magic himself to be able to eventually oust the tyrant.
  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: King Sombra is a powerful and tyrannical unicorn wizard who used to rule the Crystal Empire with an iron fist (metaphorically speaking) as a Sorcerous Overlord; it's not exactly clear what he did during this period, but it was bad enough that his former slaves refuse to even think about his rule if they can.
  • Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja: The Big Bad is a Sealed Evil in a Can simply called the Sorcerer, who uses his magic to make monsters out of people to fight The Hero.
  • She-Ra: Princess of Power: Shadow Weaver. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power keeps her evil and sorcerous, but also makes her an abusive parent just for added Hate Sink points.
  • The Smurfs: Gargamel is called an evil wizard but he comes across as more of a crazy hermit and down on his luck alchemist.
  • Uncle Grandpa has the Evil Wizard, an evil intergalactic wizard who looks surprisingly like Uncle Grandpa, and even sounds like him too. It isn't.
  • W.I.T.C.H. (2004): Both Big Bads — Prince Phobos is a Sorcerous Overlord, while Nerissa augments her innate Guardian powers with learned (or stolen) magic. In a series full of powerfully magical characters, they sit near the top.
