** Probably Aoskar, the god of portals. It's never stated whether he was a force for Good, Evil, or neither, but he was clearly a danger to Sigil when he tried to usurp the Lady's rule. Whatever the case, he failed; the Lady killed him, his cult is extinct and his temple is destroyed, now used as the headquarters of the Athar, who use it as "proof" of their claims that the gods are frauds. Most of the time, Aoskar is spoken of as a precautionary tale for other would-be usurpers.
** Cantrum, the founder and original leader of the Dark Eight, who was assassinated early on (some say by a heroic and mighty paladin, others say by an abishai who got lucky). Whatever the case, his death serves to remind devils that, no matter how strong you are, you are ''never'' invincible.
* In ''[[Dark Sun]]'' setting, the halfling sorcerer king [[A Nazi By Any Other Name| Rajaat]] is the biggest reason Athas became the post-apocalyptic [[Death World]] it is today. Obsessed with returning the world to its Blue Age, an ageperiod when the world was covered by a vast ocean and ruled by halflings, RajatRajaat orchestrated the [[Would Be Rude to Say Genocide|Cleansing Wars]], where he sought to exterminate all of the "impure" races. He ordered his army to wage a war of genocide against all non-humans, but eventually they turned against humans as well. Eventually, his own generals turned against him, defeating him and sealing him in some extra-dimensional prison, but before that happened, the war had caused the extinction of all gnomes, orcs, goblins, kobolds, ogres, lizard men, fey races, and trolls on Athas, while the populations of the dwarves, elves, and giants had been reduced dramatically. Rajaat's own people, the halflings, fared the worst; they survived, but degenerated into savage cannibals. Worst of all, Rajat [[Enemy to All Living Things| introduced Defiler magic to Athas]], a form of sorcery that use life itself as fuel, which reduced Athas to the barren wasteland that it is today.
