June Something - Day 7

Day 7: Who was the first villain you admired, even if only a little? Why?

I feel like the question is only about actual villains, not villains on the path of redemption that we start to admire because they did the right thing after an hesitation. (Otherwise: Mendoza in Mysterious Cities of Gold, and more surprisingly Rita (French name, I don't know the Japanese name) in Hikari no Densetsu)

For full villains: Milady in Les Trois Mousquetaires. I read it in middle school. Part of my interest in her was, and I absolutely didn't realize it at the time, because she's hot. But also she's incredible skilled and for both these reasons I've reread the part where she escapes by seducing her jailor dozens of times.
