top five worst father

5- Bill Adama (Battlestar Galactica) that "do not mistake this for approval" icon is brilliantly accurate. Nothing is ever good enough for Adama, and everything is always about how he feels.

4- Gendo Ikari (Evangelion) They've named the fictional award to bad father for him for a reason.

3- Ozai (Avatar the Last Airbender) to Azula as much as to Zuko

2- Tywin Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire) for Tyrion and for Cersei especially, though I liked how the TV show high lightened to wasn't exactly perfect with Jaime either.

1- Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire trilogy) the most horrible thing is, he was probably a good father, until he, you know, murdered his children.

Ahh that reminds me, maybe I should re-read the Coldfire trilogy sometime.

Off the top of my head I can think of only one worse father, that being Chestra from the Violinist of Hameln, who has Gerald Tarrant completely outclassed in that regard.

I did read the series because you recommended it. And it was good!

Chestra, hmm....well, to make a long story short, he needed to replenish his magic power, so he had kids for the sole purpose of killing and eating them when they got older. And to make sure that their blood would be particularly powerful and tasty due to suffering, he orchestrated their lives so that they would have a hellish time.
