Essential characters are the bane of my super-evil character that sets out to destroy all the denizens of the game world. I made a character in Oblivion that murdered everyone possible in Cyrodiil. He then stopped the Greymarch... just so he could kill the mad men and women of the Shivering Isles himself. No he's king of a very empty realm :)

And yeah... his bounties are in the thousands, and the murder count was well past 200 last I checked.
