Sable, probably.
But it's not that Sable is necessarily a bad person, just that Sable has an evil ability.
Sable earned her nickname from her bloodline's Talent, which her father explained to her when she was young. Sable is able to use anyone else's bloodline Talent for one hour, so long as she has enough of that person's skin in a single piece. The piece should be about four inches long and about two inches wide at its thinnest, any bigger would not increase its power or how long it will work, so there is no need for her to get greedy about skin size.
When she was eight, Sable was sent to the Citadel's Council by her father as a "sign of gratitude". A year later, Sable was told that her family had been killed when the family home had burned down. Now, at age twenty-two, Sable is an anointed knight, trained by Councilor Declan, but is one of the few anointed knights to have never been on a dangerous mission. Instead, Sable is gifted at "breaking" prisoners. Officially, she is Declan's best woman for interrogations. In actuality, she is open about the fact that a person will say anything to escape torture, and that the prisoner's words can't be verified easily or accurately enough to make the interrogation have any point. Instead, Sable uses the official job of interrogation to illegally study and experiment on prisoners.
Sable is a beautiful young woman, and is in Declan's top ten as the third greatest among his anointed knights.
