Kakistos was a master vampire on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" during season three. He was played by Jeremy Roberts.

Kakistos (Greek: Κακιστώς / Κακιστος) (whose name is said in the series to be Ancient Greek for "the worst of the worst"; in actuality, the word means simply "the worst") is an ancient vampire so old that his hands are actually cloven hooves, a trait that vampires have lost over the ages. He is well known enough to have been heard of by Rupert Giles, although Buffy Summers misrecalled the name as "Kissing Toast" or "Taquitos" the first time she heard it. He had assembled a small cult of fanatically loyal minions known whose motto was "For Kakistos we live, for Kakistos you die".

Kakistos traveled to Sunnydale to hunt down Faith. The two had already faced each other in a fight that resulted in the death of Kakistos' pet alligators and his receiving a massive scar that ruined his right eye. In retaliation, Kakistos murdered Faith's first Watcher before a horrified Faith, who escaped to Sunnydale hoping to avoid Kakistos.

While Kakistos' right hand, Mr. Trick, quickly laid plans as to how to adapt to Sunnydale and enjoy their unlife, Kakistos only cared for torturing and killing Faith. Not wanting to displease his master, Trick quickly tracked down Faith to her motel. The ancient vampire took all his minions hunting.

Kakistos however, was abandoned by Mr. Trick, who regarded his master as retrograde and "cheap". Buffy staked Kakistos to no avail, however, Faith impaled the vampire with a large beam of wood, finally killing him.
