I played Doom 3 but didn't get that he was called Dr. Betruger. In German it means "cheater / con-man" :-D

Specifically, villains of PC gaming only? That means not even games ported to consoles? Or would that mean that the game had to come out on PC first?
But anyway, I have to come up with my choices so I'll go with:
- Kane, C&C (of course his C&C1 version is iconic, but I preferred him in Tiberian Sun; and he was alright in C&C 3 Kane's Wrath, too)
- The G-Man, Half-Life (I... guess? Maybe? No one will ever know for sure. Although if you do refuse his offer in H-L1 you end up dead so... I suppose he's a villain; using Gordon as a mere tool)
- Sarah Kerrigan, StarCraft (mostly her SC1 version)
- Xana, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (mostly depending on your own decisions where applicable; but essentially she's there to influence you for her own gains and agenda)
It's actually not easy to come up with ideas in this category. Especially if we have to remain purely on the PC platform. I'm sure there's a lot more but chances are villains of other games I'd come up with have been ported to consoles anyway either long ago, or have been remastered in recent years and found their way to recent consoles too. I mean even from the earlier posts in this thread it didn't take long to go from PC to Console games.
