This one is tricky. I enjoyed Phaedra in The Bone Palace a great deal. She has flair. Sycorax in Prayers is also enjoyably bitchy and dramatic. Cassilda in Dreams... I'm sensing a theme--all of these characters are flamboyant and dramatic, and aware of their own role as a malevolent force. In Phaedra's case this was forced upon her; Sycorax's fall was slow and tragic; Cassilda is just a murderous bitch.
But oh, I'm a promethazine-clouded fool. My favorite antagonist is The Antagonist himself, The Man at the Crossroads, the Crawling Chaos, the Black Pharaoh--Nyarlathotep. Because he's The Man, that's why.
