Want to make sure everyone knows exactly how bad your badass is? Or how crazy your Ax-Crazy gets? Add "The Butcher" onto his name. Butchers hack up meat all day and are always surrounded by blood and gore, so they must be violent, scary people, right? You'll certainly never see "The Baker" or "The Candlestick Maker" used this way, we guarantee.
Bonus points if "The Butcher" is a literal butcher, complete with cleaver, apron, and a penchant for hacking up victims gruesomely.
Although the nickname can sound impressive, it's almost never intended to be a compliment in real life. The title is most often slapped on Serial Killers and military leaders who are accused of war-time atrocities. "To butcher" something can also mean to do a hack job of it, so the title can sometimes be a Stealth Insult and is often used for incompetent surgeons. Due to the many negative connotations of the word, it's no surprise that many butchers prefer to go by "meat cutter."
The stigma against butchery is largely unfair to professional meat cutters, who usually don't slaughter anything themselves. Their job tends to consist of chopping large hunks of meat (sometimes directly from animal carcasses) into smaller cuts of meat, with an emphasis on precise knife strokes and good presentation.
Sub-Trope of The Magnificent, and of Names to Run Away from Really Fast. Compare Red Baron.

This includes all of the previous Butchers' powers and voices as well. The Butcher who appears in the story is number fourteen, and has a long list of powers including superhuman strength and durability, pain inducement, the ability to see circulatory systems through walls, danger sense, the ability to cause festering wounds, explosive teleportation, the ability to shape raw matter into objects, rage inducement, pain immunity, and homing attacks.

The Mighty Thor:
Villain "Gorr the God Butcher". That's not an exaggeration, it's exactly what he does - brutally slaughtering gods.
He was preceded by Desak the God-Slayer who did pretty much the exact same thing for the exact same reason. But, admittedly, Desak did not butcher gods... he slew them. With an axe, usually.
Gorr's weapon All-Black the Necrosword's corrupting influence (it's actually the first Symbiote) turns those who wield it into examples of this trope. Galactus the World Devourer became Galactus the World Butcher when he bonded to All-Black. When Loki got a hold of it, he became Loki the All-Butcher.

In Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, Pirate captain Hawke's Rival is known only as 'The Butcher'. The main point of contention between them is that The Butcher favors killing them all, while Hawke is supposed to be more compassionate and sensible. (Though that doesn't bar the player from butchering the entire crew of the ships he attacks in his prologue...)

One of the characters in The Bellmaker is a shrike. In both the book and Real Life, shrikes are also known as butcher birds. In the book, the nickname comes from being completely Ax-Crazy. (In real life, the nickname comes from what they do with their prey.)

Fred Johnson from The Expanse is known as The Butcher of Anderson Station for killing everyone aboard because they complained that their low oxygen rations were causing brain damage in their children. Oh and he waited until they tried to surrender to massacre them. You'd never know it from talking to him, though. Turns out he wasn't told that they were surrendering and that lie combined with a major Heel Realization eventually turned him against he old employers.

In Dominic Deegan the former deceased Lord Damaske (Siegfried's father) was given this title by the Orcs for his Fantastic Racism inspired war crimes.
In the midst of all the grieving after the War In Hell arc, some main character orcs can't resist doing a Happy Dance of Mood Whiplash when they hear that at least Damaske the Butcher went down. They can't bring themselves to be sympathetic about his son, Dominic's friend, dying as well, and they don't even know about what he did. Points to Dominic for managing to be friends with one of the last of the Alheera and a Damaske at the same time, even if it was apparently only possible due to political cluelessness.

Dark Souls has two Elite Mooks similar to the Diablo example above. They are apparently actual butchers; the first is seen chopping meat when you first encounter him. The same game also has a notable enemy NPC called Maneater Mildred, who wears the creepy burlap sack that the aforementioned Butchers hide their faces with (and nothing else) and uses their oversized meat cleaver. A line by another NPC implies that the two Butchers are her mooks, even though you encounter her much later in a completely different area of the game.

Fist of the North Star occasionally describes the despicable Jagi as "The Twisted Butcher of Hokuto." The name is both literal and metaphorical; he is a violent and amoral sadist who takes pleasure in killing people, but he is also a slopppy and talentless hack who does not use Hokuto techniques with any of the skill, elegance, or power of his siblings Kenshiro, Toki, and Raoh (respectively).

In Dauntless (Allora Gale) Lelouch has the unfortunate nickname "Butcher of Area Eighteen" after unknowingly killing several hundred civilians hiding in a military fortress. Schneizel kept the name out of the Britannian media to maintain his image as a war hero.
Lelouch ultimately exploits this reputation to lure out Kenshiki by staging the faked execution of their families.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: In "Under the Cloak of War", Enterprise ferries a Klingon ambassador named Dak'Rah. He was once a general in the recent war, where he became known as "The Butcher of J'Gal" for killing his own officers after they committed war crimes against The Federation. It then turns out that the official story is a lie, which Dak'Rah embraced as it helped him defect to the Federation and foster his diplomatic career. The real butcher was Doctor M'Benga, who dosed himself with his home-cooked Super Serum and killed the officers in question while trying to assassinate Dak'Rah.

The PBS superhero WordGirl has a villain called The Butcher. He wears an old-fashioned butcher's uniform, has some sort of giant cut of meat strapped to his back, and has meat-themed powers. This character is actually a subversion. He creates meat products with his powers, so there's no slaughter implied. He's also dumb, not scary at all.

In Monstrous Regiment, Sam Vimes is referred to by the Borogravians as "The Butcher" or "Butcher Vimes". Anyone remotely familiar with the character of Sam Vimes will find this insanely funny (which is the point); he's more like Reluctant Warrior plus By-the-Book Cop. When Vimes meets up with the protagonist and her fellow soldiers, he tells them Borogravia "needs to work on their propaganda techniques".

World of Warcraft:
There's a boss called The Butcher, a cleaver and meathook wielding Abomination who even says "Aah, fresh meat!" when pulled. This was a deliberate shout out to the guy from Diablo.
There's also another boss nicknamed "The Butcher," his real name is Theolen Krastinov. You know when a doctor is referred to by this title, he's absolutely not a nice guy.

Le Boucher (The Butcher) is exactly this trope. The life of a spinster schoolmistress in a small French village is turned upside down by the arrival of an ex-soldier who is taking over the village butcher's shop. An Indochina vet, he has little quirks. One of which is murder...

Samurai Champloo has the Clueless Detective Manzo the Saw who isn't particularly violent or competent: the nickname comes from the fact that he doesn't bother to take care of his sword, so the blade is jagged and dull. He's a parody of Hanzo the Razor, who did some pretty squicky things, but wasn't particularly bloodthirsty either.
In fact, it's likely Manzo's nickname is meant to be ironic, because he isn't particularly sharp.

In the 3rd Rock from the Sun episode "Dick the Mouth Solomon," the guy Sally's dating is called Sammy "The Butcher" Marchetti. She and the rest of the family assume he's a hitman and so all start acting like characters out of a Mafia movie. Sally's relieved and Tommy's disappointed to learn that Sammy is simply an actual butcher.

From the Iron Kingdoms RPG and Warmachine tabletop strategy game's shared 'verse comes Orsus Zoktavir, the Butcher of Khardov. Complete and utter patriotic nutcase, who got his name when he ordered his men to attack secessionists in a village near the fortress of Boarsgate. The soldiers weren't all too keen to attack unarmed civilians, so he killed them and the locals by himself. With an axe he calls Lola.

Southpaw Regional Wrestling, the WWE's Affectionate Parody of 80's independent wrestling, has the tag team champions in season two be "The Butchers", a tag team made up of "Dry Rub" Doug and Frantic Frank. They fit the trope in title, in personality, and in secondary occupation, as their gimmick is that they are literally a pair of butchers, with their promo being recorded in the cold room of a butcher's shop, with the belts being hung up on meat hooks behind them, right next to Betsy, which appears to be a cow's leg. In fact, it's questionable whether it's just a gimmick or if they are actually butchers outside of the ring, as it's revealed that they end up having to vacate the tag team title after being linked to an E. Coli outbreak.

The Vorkosigan Saga: Aral "Butcher of Komarr" Vorkosigan. A rare not-actually-earned title though, as a subordinate went behind his back and ordered the massacre of the Komarr's Ruling Senate after they surrendered to Admiral Vorkosigan on terms. Aral killed the man responsible on the spot with his bare hands when he learned of itnote (Aral Vorkosigan does in fact have a fearsome temper and exceptional capacity for violence, but he is far less readily provoked or indiscriminate than the sobriquet normally implies), only for the galaxy at large to declare that he was silencing a scapegoat.
In the back story the Pierre Le Sanguinerre was warleader for Dorca the Just and served him whenever Dorca wanted an unruly Vor to be given...justice. His name is French for "Bloody Pete".

The Pathfinder adventure "Edge of Anarchy" from the "Curse of the Crimson Throne" adventure path, has the criminal gang known as the "Cow Hammer Boys", pretty close in meaning, and in work. They're a group of mercenaries acting under the front of giving free meat to the people of the city, at the butchery "All the World's Meat". The free meat mostly comes from the victims of the mercenary work.
Additionally, there's an exotic orcish weapon called the Butchering Axe. It possesses the highest base damage of all the weapons in the game, but requires 18 Strength to wield it properly.

Culloden features the Duke of Cumberland, who was known as "The Butcher" among Jacobites, and in modern times, Scottish nationalists. He squashed the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, and accounts of his character vary greatly: some sources cite him as a ruthless and vicious man who terrorised his own men as well as the enemy, while others have him enforcing strict discipline on his men to ensure fair treatment of surrendering Jacobites. One accusation leveled at him was that instead of tending to wounded enemy soldiers on the battlefield (as the warfare etiquette of the time dictated), he simply slaughtered them - hence, "The Butcher."

In Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder novels, the title character is friends with an Irish-American gangster, Mick "The Butcher" Ballou. Mick's father was a real butcher, and Mick sometimes wears his father's old apron and carries a massive cleaver. According to legend, he cut off an enemy's head and carried it around in a bag for a night, showing it to people. Through their long friendship Mick never confirms to Matt whether or not there's any truth to the story... but Matt has seen him use the cleaver.

The Goodies. When Tim gets all dressed up to visit his rich uncle Butcher Fitzsimmons, Graeme thinks he's trying to impress a girl and when Tim replies, "Actually, it's Butcher?" responds: "Butch-er than what?" Turns out his uncle is an insane fox hunter.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. Grand Moff Kilran was dubbed "The Butcher of Coruscant" by citizens of The Republic for his brutal assault on Coruscant. Kilran has adopted it with an ironic tone, but considered his actions necessary to bring a swift conclusion to the invasion.

In Sim Settlements 2, in the Commonwealth Police Department questline you are for a chunk of led to think that Pete "the Butcher" Emins leads the antagonist faction the Hellhounds, which given their atrocities would make him a straight example… except when you actually meet him, it turns out he's an affable but simple fellow whose nickname is because he's the cook.

Oxventure: Barnaby "The Butcher" Fortescue in the Blades in the Dark campaign chose that title himself. He's far from the hardened killer it would imply, instead being a foppish, self-infatuated Rich Jerk whose criminal career is motivated solely by boredom, and whose chosen playbook, the Slide, is mostly focused on being The Social Expert. The rest of the gang aren't so much afraid of him as they are mostly just irritated at putting up with his obnoxiousness.

The Running Man's Ben Richards is known as "the Butcher of Bakersfield" after the incident where, as a military helicopter pilot, he allegedly fired on a crowd of innocent people for no real reason. The fact of the matter is that he was resisting the direct order to do so but was framed by the government because they couldn't use him after that outburst.

Schindler's List: While never referred to as such within the film proper, SS Officer Amon Goeth was known as the Butcher of Plaszow in Real Life, having achieved notoriety for killing, abusing, and torturing prisoners on a whim. Also excluded from the film is the fact that the Nazi government suspended him for his severe mistreatment of prisoners.

Colonel Kassad from the Hyperion Cantos is known as "The Butcher of South Bressia." In this case, it's something of a backhanded compliment: the same brutally efficient tactics that got him the epithet also made him the only person to make any headway in the war.

While not as blatantly obvious, Mordecai of Lackadaisy has used the alias "Elijah Metzger," which the creator mentioned is "perhaps altogether too appropriate for him." "Metzger" is a German word meaning "butcher." We're first introduced to Mordecai (in canon) wielding a bloody hatchet and an irritated expression. It fits.

Butcher is a rank the player will receive in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin if they kill several people during the mission. It's actually a mark of shame, way below Silent Assassin (killed only the target) and just a bit above Mass Murderer (killed "everyone").

BattleTech has unsavory characters like Amos Forlough, whose idea of an appropriate response to civilian protests was to raze cities and systematically execute 10% of a population at his discretion, or the violent yet incompetent Tolstin Eukai, both of whom had appellations like "the Butcher" for their ruthless tactics. Forlough got the even more unsavory nickname of "The Baby-Killer," which is not the demonizing hyperbole that it sounds like.
The Clans aren't beyond this, either: later Jade Falcon Khan Malvina Hazen got the nickname The Butcher of Wotan for her handling of labor strikes on the planet... the summary execution of five thousand civilians. Not just the striking laborers, either; Hazen rounded up the first five thousand civilians she could lay hands on and executed the lot.

The Evil Genius game had a recruitable henchman called The Butcher. He was a Hannibal-type mad surgeon who turned to evil after accidentally transplanting a cursed pancreas into himself.
He wears a Hannibal Lecter mask and his primary skill is sharpening his cleavers to 'motivate' your men. It's that kind of game.

In Wakfu: major Shushu (A kind of demon sealed inside an object, in this case a large sword) Burloif is known as "The Butcher", and is such a beast even his fellow Shushu are scared shitless of him, with one even commenting that "Life without you is so... less dead..." From what little we see of his powers (stabbing his sword in a wall causes the entire building to crack and crumble after a few seconds), his reputation isn't exaggerated.

The series introduced King Cleon, who styles himself "the Great" but who most refer to as The Butcher King. He did use to be an actual butcher, but lives up to the traditional implications as well. Also, Gregor Clegane's in-house torturer is known simply as The Tickler.
After Cleon's death via Bodyguard Betrayal, Cleon II becomes King, but is murdered by a barber who becomes King in turn. The new, new King is always referred to as King Cutthroat.

In Aeon 14, protagonist Major Tanis Richards is known in Sol as the "Butcher of Toro", but it's indicated early on that it's undeserved. After leaving Sol on a colony ship, she tells the real story of Toro to her Love Interest. She was investigating a Cult Colony, discovered the cult leader had turned everyone on the planet into Nigh-Invulnerable mindless monsters with Bio-Augmentation, and was forced to order an Orbital Bombardment that destroyed the entire dwarf planet. The circumstances were then covered up for political reasons and she had to take the fall.

Pops up briefly in Lost Odyssey, where one of the Dreams of a Thousand Years concerns a long-dead general who was known simply as 'The Butcher', due to his habit of slaughtering EVERYONE who got in his way - destroying entire villages, leaving no survivors, so as to ensure that there wouldn't be any surviving brothers or sons who would later seek him out for vengeance. Believing in this philosophy, he actually takes pride in his nickname.

in The Magnus Archives, avatars of The Flesh, most notably Jared Hopworth and the Hann family, are ominously referred to as Butchers or The Butcher at various points... because they generally have jobs in the meat industry.

Leverage: It's lampshaded: "Have you ever been to Kyiv? The cake maker of Kyiv could whup all our asses, and this is the Butcher." The nickname also turns out to be quite appropriate, as The Butcher's weapon of choice is, in fact, a butcher knife. In "The Wedding Job", the following exchange occurs during a con operation at a wedding where one of the con artists, Elliot, is acting the part of the chef:

Similar to Warhammer 40,000 above, Mass Effect 2 uses the name Carnifex, which is Latin for "butcher". It is the name for a brand of pistol, however. Clearly, its designers were savvy to this trope.

"The Butcher of the Somme"- Field Marshal Haig, who appears in Blackadder. So named by his own men because of his willingness to sacrifice countless troops in order to achieve a minute gain in territory. Several historians have made a good case that his reputation as a heartless butcher is a serious distortion of the actual facts. Though others say it's too generous.

Doctor Who:
In "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", the villain is Magnus Greel, "The Butcher of Brisbane", the Minister of Justice who killed 100,000 people in his experiments. And anyone who actually lives in Brisbane will find the concept of it being home to anything so exciting as a war criminal hilarious.
In "Twice Upon A Time", the Testimony rattles off a list of the Doctor's titles, which includes "the Butcher of Skull Moon", after a particularly bloody battle in the Last Great Time War.

Blake's 7: Bayban the Butcher in "City at the Edge of the World". As there's a Running Gag over Bayban being obsessed about his notoriety (he even resents Blake for having eclipsed him on the Federation Most Wanted list purely because Blake is a political dissident) he probably chose the moniker himself. Though Bayban clearly deserves it given Vila's Oh, Crap! reaction on meeting him.

We never learn exactly what it is, but it is implicitly both highly illegal and hideously immoral. The show's creators have Jossed speculation that it was human flesh, claiming cannibalism was far too "mundane". It's something even worse....

Boris the Butcher from the film The Man Who Knew Too Little is something of a parody. He's certainly a brutal and ruthless Professional Killer (we're told that he once decapitated a man). He's also a literal butcher as his day job, and much prefers running his little butcher's shop with his wife to moonlighting as a hitman.

K.J. Parker's novel Sharps has a General Carnufex known as "The Irrigator", because he won a war by redirecting water to flood an enemy town, killing every one of the thousands of people who lived there in the process. Amusingly, the name Carnufex presumably a reference to the Latin term carnifex which more or less means "butcher".

Nevil Clavain in Redemption Ark (2002) was dubbed "the Butcher of Tharsis" for "authorising the use of red-mercury, nuclear and foam-phase weapons" in a battle there about 400 years before the main plot. In reality he saved lives by bringing the war to an end, but he still regrets what he had to do: "I've killed innocents for military ends. I've made orphans. If that's honour, you can keep it."

One of the Cie'th missions of Final Fantasy XIII has you going after "Zenobia The Butcher". When you get to the location, the large, particularily abominable Cie'th pops out and begins advancing at your party... Only to be taken out by a Tonberry, the real Butcher.

The main character of Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin Himura, is also known as the Hitokiri Battousai, or "the Manslayer." Being The Atoner of a violent past as an assassin, Kenshin both subverts this as a peaceful man who adheres to Thou Shalt Not Kill (going so far as to use a reverse-bladed sword to knock opponents out), and plays it straight when an enemy pushes him far enough that his murderous golden-eyed "Battousai" side kicks in.

Cyril Sutherland from The Good Hunter. One of his infamous titles is "The Butcher of Lescatie", gained after killing any man or monster alike in his way during the Sacking of Lescatie. He's actually a good guy, but he is a brutal killer for sure.

Dead Rising's Final Boss, Larry Chiang, is an actual butcher who worked for the mall's grocery store before all hell broke loose and he, like a good amount of the other survivors of the zombie outbreak, went criminally insane. He isn't outright homicidal as his title would suggest and is disturbingly cheerful and friendly when he views Frank as a "customer", but he's gone obsessed with his job and is encountered after he's caught hunting for new "meat" wherever he can get it and finding it in the form of the injured Big Bad. Since zombie meat comes rotten, he's eager to serve humans to humans.

A Desolation Called Peace: War Minister Three Azimuth's enemies call her "the butcher of the Nakharese mind" after her stint as military governor of the rebellious planet Nakhar. Unusually for the trope, she got the name by being very effective at infiltrating and subverting resistance cells in lieu of widespread violence; most people find the epithet a bit crass.

Babylon 5:
The title character of the episode "Deathwalker," Jha'dur, is named such for the war crimes that she carried out during the Dilgar War, and was responsible for cruel experiments on Na'Toth's grandfather and other people, which led to Na'Toth swearing vengeance upon her.
Sheridan's nickname among Minbari is "Starkiller", for his taking out their flagship Black Star during the Earth/Minbari War. This was the Earth Alliance's only major victory in a largely one-sided war, making the use of the moniker a sign of hypocritical sour grapes. The nickname is derogatory on the Minbari side because Sheridan destroyed the Drala Fi ("black star" in Minbari Warrior language) in an act of subterfuge and not in open combat, basically calling him a war criminal. Again, this is ignoring the fact that the Black Star answered Sheridan's false distress signal in order to destroy his supposedly helpless ship, which by human standards is highly dishonorable.

Daryl the Mincer, a minor side character in Jackals. Not exactly right, but the spirit is there - and he gets bonus points for using a butcher knife.
