Bayaz, the main villain from The First Law trilogy. He is not very famous but he is nonetheless one of the most hated villains in the fantasy community. He is actually a more effective hate sink than Joffrey and Umbridge because they are presented as hateable characters from the very beginning. Meanwhile, Bayaz is actually presented as a good guy at first but then you learn that it is just a facade and he is just a manipulative sociopath who cares only about his own interests. Plus, he won at the end of the series and received no punishment for his actions unlike many of the other examples that are listed here which makes him even more hateable.
