“ | Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! | „ |

“ | I don't know if anyone will believe anything on these tapes but I gotta tell the truth. Emir Parkreiner died on April 28th, 1952. The registration of residence indicates that he was living with his parents. Then, who is the Emir attending this school? | „ |

Enigmatic Villains are characters whose origins are shrouded in mystery (or simply saying, they have an unknown past or a little information about it only). They often appear out of nowhere or have extremely vague pasts and give little clue about their identity. Their name, their true nature, or even their motives are often ignored.
Some enigmatic characters could also be heroes as much as villains.
They are often dangerous, intimidating, and unapproachable because they are unpredictable, hard to understand and (most importantly) nobody knows how to defeat them. Even when they are defeated or killed, enigmatic villains leave behind many unanswered questions. Sometimes they are big bads or bigger bads that are revealed to be much worse than how the audience first predicted them as.
Note: if villains are initially enigmatic and many mysteries shrouded them, but throughout the plot it is discovered who they are, their ambitions, origin and plans are revealed, then they can NO LONGER qualify for this category (eg: Obito Uchiha, Titan Shang Tsung). However, they can still qualify if only a part of their mysteries are revealed, not all of them.
