"They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone."

- Gollum

"And now, look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing...banished and exiled and practically starving, while HE and his flimsy fish-folk celebrate! Well, I'LL give them something to celebrate soon enough."

- Ursula

An Outcast is basically another name for an Exiled character or being, unlike the Imprisoned Villain an Outcast is banished without actually being imprisoned - sometimes being exiled is seen as sufficient punishment in itself. Many Outcast characters seek to return to their previous power or position - others are driven mad or embittered by it, few - if any - embrace the state of exile.

Alternatively an Outcast can be a tragic villain who is hated and feared by those around him/herself - forcing them into a life of relative isolation and/or wandering.
