Dr. Loveless

Arliss Loveless is a former Confederate slaveholder and a technology expert with no allegiance to anyone but himself. He kidnaps a group of scientists to build new weapons of war for him (one of which is all but stated to be a rape machine), decapitating one of them for trying to warn President Grant. He slaughters General McGrath's men in front of him with a tank prototype as punishment for surrendering to the Union during the Civil War, using the general's men as target practice. He then kills McGrath himself when he demands Loveless to stop the massacre. He plans to destroy the United States unless President Grant surrenders to his new alliance, and firebombs a random frontier town to prove his point. Despite his earlier slaughter of a former Confederate troop for their disloyalty, he sells out the Confederacy that he fought for when he presents his plan to carve up the whole country amongst himself and a collection of foreign powers. In addition, it's revealed that he previously used his tank to wipe out a settlement of freed slaves, including Jim West's family, also for target practice.
