I think it is good to have links in starting post with the poll or in the separate thread, because some NPC are more complex, than it is seen from the first sight and sometimes there are interesting twists in their story not always known to the player. For example, it is possible to fully know Lady Estre only if she is freed in Coldharbour and you finally can speak with her.

I think that it is too early to include Meridia in the list. She is not a villain in ESO (yet?). She will be a patron of the villain in TES 4 Oblivion. The message from Darien is simply common sense, a word of caution, for others to not forget that daedra is daedra. Same with Meridia, same with Azura. Some daedra may be beneficial for mortal races, but they will always think about themselves first.
All daedra lords have their own plans, all of the have their own goals. Of course, Meridia helps us, because she hates Molag Bal, not because of her big kind heart. But everything she is doing in ESO helps us and helps Nirn.LadyNalcarya wrote: »I think that it is too early to include Meridia in the list. She is not a villain in ESO (yet?).

Well, a villain doesn't have to be of a moustache-twirling kind. Meridia is very manipulative and she's known for things like helping Umaril and "purifying" mortals of their free will (according to Depths of Malatar story and skin descripton). I think that kinda makes her a villain, and a very successful one: she's yet to lose, unlike the others mentioned in this thread.
