Hannibal Lecter
Perhaps one of the most notorious villains in modern time, Hannibal Lecter is so smart, he moves and manipulates people behind the confines of a small cell. While Clarice Starling thinks she’s using Lecter for his insight and notes about a serial killer, Lecter is actually using her. By the end, he’s home free and calls Starling, saying if she doesn’t chase him, he won’t go after her.
