"He was Rome’s 3rd emperor from AD 37 to AD 41. He was wild, extravagant, with a penchant for sexual adventures. In the first 3 months in his reign of terror, over 160,000 animals were sacrificed in his honor. He later got a brain fever that made him mentally ill. He then believed he was a god. Under Caligula, the law became an instrument of torture. He believed prisoners should feel a painful death. He began to brutally murder for fun. He would kill his opponents slowly and painfully over hours or days. He decapitated and strangled children. People were beaten with heavy chains. He forced families to attend their children’s execution. Many people had their tongues cut off. He fed prisoners to a lions, panthers and bears and often killed gladiators. One gladiator alone was beaten up for 2 days full days. He sometimes ordered people to be killed by elephants. His cruelty caused people to commit suicide. He demanded sex with a lot of women including his 3 sisters. He would force husbands to give up their wives. He exiled his sisters and had his brother in law put to death. He caused many to die of starvation. Sawing people was one of his favorite things to do, which filleted the spine and spinal cord from crotch down to the chest. He liked to chew up the testicles of victims. He killed some of his most important friends and his father-in-law. One time Caligula said “I wish Rome had but one neck, so that I could cut off all their heads with one blow!” In AD 41, Caligula was killed by Casius Chaerea, a man whom Caligula had mocked at court for his effeminacy."

Oh, it is horrible, but delightfully so.
Re: Most evil person in history

Vlad was actually just defending his people from a cruel foreign invader. His body was badly scarred from horrific beatings the Ottomans put on him when he was a boy. He did try to scare the Turks by impaling captured Turks along the road into the Romanian states, but under the circumstances it was hardly an evil act.
The fictional Dracula created hundreds of years later in the 19th century is nothing like Vlad Tepes.

A sentence should begin with capitalization and names should be capitalized too. B+ for effort.
Re: Most evil person in history
Nahhh, B minus/C, on a good day.
Re: Most evil person in history
;D It’s a pain in the ass trying to syntax properly on a tablet. Perhaps telling that it was the only critique though?

The first that came to mind was Stalin (though Hitler's mostache wa also like having a dead rat on your face).
Also, the mostache-less Caligula —if what they say of him was actually true— was quite a cunt.
But the thing is that they were all probably Psycopaths or sociopaths (like Dr. Holms, Bundy and others) so you can't really determine who was more evil. They were just sick. My fav sicko was the Caligula of Tinto Brass.

VERY different.

Giving to those in need of your own free will is what Jesus preached. He didn't have government enforcement.
Re: Most evil person in history
Some who were evil but not as well known include:
Elizabeth Báthory, most prolific female serial killer of all time, who tried to stay young by bathing in the blood of little girls
Mass murderer Lazar Kaganovich, architect of the holodomor
Genrikh Yagoda, head of the Soviet NKVD in the 1930s
