Ferdinand Lopez is definitely the most villainous person I have ever encountered in a Trollope novel.

Do you think he’s as bad as the guy (can’t remember his name—Alice’s cousin) in CAN YOU FORGIVE HER?

George Vavasor is also pretty bad, of course, but he is presented as someone of natural warmth, though with a terrible temper and impulse control. He is sometimes ashamed of his own actions. Lopez on the other hand, seems shameless.
Of course, there is also that cad Adolphus in The Small House at Allington who engages himself to two women at once. But even he is presented somewhat sympathetically, as weak rather than setting out to deceive Lily on purpose.
