How DOOM Created the SCARIEST Villains in Fiction

What makes a truly terrifying villain? Is it overwhelming power? An unforgettable design? Or is it the ideas they represent? In this video, we're taking a deep dive into what I believe are some of the scariest villains in fiction: the Order of Six from DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations. Introduced in the brand-new Revelations DLC, these ancient rulers of Hell feel far more than just powerful demons. Each one embodies a different form of corruption, fear, and suffering, making them some of the most unsettling antagonists I've seen in any fictional universe. We'll explore the lore, symbolism, and terrifying philosophy behind every member of the Order of Six (also known as the High Council of Hell), including Zaruthiel the Old Father, Karnoth the Armorer, Garzeth the Treacherous, Iskathra, Thalrasha, and Ozalith the Old Mother. We'll also break down what they reveal about Hell, Jekkad, and the future of DOOM lore after Revelations. Whether you're a longtime DOOM fan, a fan of dark fantasy and cosmic horror, or you simply enjoy discussing the greatest villains in fiction, I think you'll enjoy this one.
