Before final battle we see miirak like 2 times ( not counting random stealing soul from you moments). I would've liked Mirak more, but there was a fair bit about him that was off/never explained, how was he still alive? Did Hermeous Mora have something yo do with that? Are dragonborn able to have dragon like life span on their own? Does time just work differently in Apotheca? Also his plan hinged on the daedric prince of knowledge not learning about Miraak's plan in said daedric prince's own realm, really?

A villian I'm nominating that no one has mentined, probably because you see and hear so little of him, Arch-Curate Vythur, a follower of a sun god gets turned into a vampire (Oh the irony) becomes enraged at th As t sun god for not protecting him so turns on him. And devises a plan that involved little action from him, all he had to do was wait, while a self-fufilling prophecy( A prophesy that causes an event to happen rather than just predicting it) attracted a vampire with Coldharbour daughter blood to come for the bow needed to fufill the prophesy, and then either he or the other vampire would kill the sun as a f-u to the sun god. The only reason that plan failed was he hadn't expected someone to come for the bow who wasn't out to fufill the prophesy. A near perfect plan.

Though I think we can agree Harkon had the worst plan, even if he HAD completed the prophecy, the end result would've been him and all surviving vampires sitting in the dark hungry since killing the sun would've destroyed their food chain. Or just killing off their food in the resulting war. (While the vampires don't NEED to feed, it's my understanding they start feeling hungry if they don't.) or just dying himself in previously mentioned war.

To everyone saying something about Alduin not amassing an army and just returning the other dragons, how would you like him to attack with a dragon army if all the dragons aren't raised? And also hard to hide giant flying lizards so he couldn't really store them in one place while he built up numbers either.
