Gaolers

Gaolers, also called Wardens or Jailers, are villains who are known for keeping Inmates in check. These villains are feared for or known to imprison their captives, whether it is in cells, cages, etc. For obvious reasons, the vast majority of these villains are Corrupt Officials. Many are also Psychopaths and/or sadists (e.g. Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs). Ironically, some Gaolers can be prisoners themselves.
