Enforcer

Enforcers are a variety of henchmen designed to enforce big bads or bigger bads by any means necessary. They can be the villain's Right-Hand or Left-Hand but they are before all hired muscle having a little more authority towards normal minions. Also, Enforcers are almost completely loyal to their leaders at all times and would even rarely, if ever act on their own without guidance. This term is also used to describe athletes who fight while playing in a violent and aggressive manner. They can also overlap with Mercenaries and Assassins since they all generally function in similar capacities.

Even though most Enforcers are merely doing what they are told to do and therefore, are not always bad by their own choices, some can actually be aware of what they are doing to the point of being Pure Evil, notably if they are more or just as sadistic as those above them and perform horrible acts they did not get as orders (e.g. Roger, Azog, Dolores Umbridge, Chief McBrusque, Professor Zündapp, Captain Phasma, Badger, Simon, Amon Goeth, Quan Chi, Grand Moff Tarkin, Abomination (MCU), Slade, Ramsay Bolton, Dr. Nefarious Tropy, Bellatrix Lestrange, High Priestess, Violator and Grimmel the Grisly).
