There are few fantasy villains as iconic as The Lord of the Rings' Sauron, but when it really comes down to it, this Dark Lord wasn't very good at his job. In many ways, author J.R.R. Tolkien is the architect of the high-fantasy formula, so his memorable villain serves as a sort of template for other characters stretching even into modern fiction. Sauron is the fantastical Lucifer—a fallen, beautiful thing keen to rule over a perfect world of his own making. Of course, the whole idea is that this sort of blasphemy leads down only a single path.
