He's a good deal more interesting than Crimson King, who I've expressed my dislike about on the Villains for Hire page.

Randall Flagg I feel is a good example of an adaptable character. He's a force of pure evil, but he's something like a chameleon. He can exist in the fantastic world of Delain, or the dystopian remains of Earth, and still exist as the ultimate evil. He can exist in any environment and work it to his own diabolical advantage while still being a suave, manipulative bastard.

Yes, his ultimate death was kind of an anticlimax, but Randall Flagg's chillingly effective deeds, chessmaster-type persona, slick personality, and his adaptability probably make him Stephen King's best villain.
