king but for the crime of sorcery
there is but one sentence I can pulse
before a young and noble Arthur could

on all sorcery fearing the practice and
desiring to do without the sort of
shenanigans that could ultimately usurp

appearance otherwise he shows Arthur
tough love
while his war against magic gains him
many enemies including Morgana scene the

Olsen number four Khal Drogo Game of
Thrones day about the Sochi Erica Nagoya
Marika this chieftain of the nomadic

ruler of a people outside the Seven
Kingdoms a feared warlord king his power
and ego lead him to promise his bride
the true queen of the realm through
birthright that he’d retake her kingdom
for her
he’s memorable for being a ruler who
gets his hands dirty and for being
extremely savage about it
number three Joffrey Baratheon Game of
Thrones let us speak I want to hear what
she says easily the youngest and vilest
on this list is the illegitimate inbred
ruler of the Seven Kingdoms he doesn’t
have an ounce of noble blood since he
was the love child of his mother Queen
Cersei and her brother Jaime stop stop

ice covered portion of the Land of Ooo
with penguins as his only subjects and
his magical crown stealing his sanity
and memories of his former life he
spends his days trying to kidnap and

not all bad just lonely making your way
in the world today takes everything

glories sure what

hordes of Rome again and the gods shall
weep for their suffering oh I can go
home with my sword in my hand and run
those maniacs to the Tarpeian Rock son a
prince should never ask for help
Maurice Maurice where are you and your
booty which is quite large and usually
easy to see
I would a woman not to me as king I’ve
learnt to be very clear but when to stay
my terms
enjoy the festivities number one the
Fire Lord Ozai Avatar The Last Airbender
taking the top spot on our list is the
ruler of the fire nation a firebender
who rules with a flaming fist he is
notable because he enslaved the entire
world and the other elemental benders he
even takes pride in having burned his
own son’s face and subsequently
banishing him while favoring his
deranged daughter there you are filthy
peasant
ultimately Ozai goes completely maniacal
when a comet powers him up that’s when
he declares himself the Phoenix King you
