belial.1980:
Quick and dirty: I'm writing a story where a character lives in various incarnations throughout history. He's been reincarnated 6-7 times between the time of Christ and modern times. Each incarnation is a anti-hero/misunderstood hero that history and folklore have penned as a villain. I could really use some suggestions for building an ecclectic gathering of legendary villains from different time periods and places that he's been in past lives. The only two I've got so far:

Simon Magus (Quick synopsis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Magus)

Koschei the Deathless (Quick synopsis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koschei)

If somebody can offer suggestions something along these lines I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Quantus:
Is there a particular real villain that his will be facing off with?  or other common elements to keep throughout the lifetimes?


*edit*
Off hand i can think of:
Jack the Ripper
Grigori Rasputin
Genghis Khan
Lü Bu
Brutus
Eurymachus
Lee Harvey Oswald
Judas
Asmodeus (from the stories of Solomon, make him a foreign devil instead of an literal devil, whose people Solomon enslaved to build his temple, as he was falling from God)

LizW65:
Richard III
Gilles de Rais
Benedict Arnold
King John

LizW65:
Oh, and if your protagonist can change his gender, there's:
Erzebet Bathory
Lucrezia Borgia
Lizzie Borden

None of whom may have committed the crimes history attributes to them.

Paynesgrey:
Heh...if you could work J. Edgar Hoover in there, that would be a feat.
