Line 4:
** Prince Serg was considered Ges' ally and equal in awfulness by those in the know, and was bad enough that his father Emperor Ezar was willing to sacrifice thousands of his own troops and the honour of his best people in an [[Offing the Offspring]] [[Batman Gambit]] rather than let Serg take the throne. His widow tries to kiss Cordelia's hand in gratitude for her having killed Ges, and later remarks of a suitor that she's had him checked out and he treats his courtesans normally, a point she clearly considers in his favour.
** Baron Ryoval. Possibly the worst in the series, and given the [[Complete Monster]] company he keeps in the Vorkosigan saga, [[Torture Technician|that]] [[Body Horror|is really]] [[Up to Eleven|saying something.]]
*** Baron Ryoval was a legendary figure of horror and revulsion on ''Jackson's Whole'' -- a [[Wretched Hive]] where things like selling your own children into slavery or murdering a sibling in cold blood for business advantage is considered perfectly normal behavior.
** Commander Cavilo is Miles as a [[Complete Monster]]. Miles' friends [[Genre Savvy|take great delight]] in telling Miles this.
** Mark's foster-"father" Galen is [[Abusive Parents|another real prize-winner]].
