The Most Dangerous Characters of Spartacus

If the opening scene of Spartacus: Blood and Sand has proved anything to us, it's that Gaius Claudius Glaber will enslave you and, if you rebel, burn your village down and sell your wife. If you are required to interact with this seriously bad dude, just play dead.

Batiatus may not be physically intimidating, or have the brute strength of the gladiators, but he does buy and sell people on a daily basis. Batiatus uses his wealth as his weapon and acts on conniving wit. Get in his way and he'll arrange the death of your love and pretend to console you.

You have to be one bad mutha to be in charge of training all of the gladiators. If Oenomaus has the skills to survive as long as he has, he must know what he's doing.

Varro sold himself to support his family. Such courage, such honor, such selflessness can only be empowered further by Varro's animalistic instincts. He may not be a warrior or swordsman, but Varro becomes a force to be reckoned with when someone threatens his family.
