Sakuni
In the Mahabharata, Sakuni was the brother of Queen Gandhari, and was son of King Subala of Gandhara. He accompanied his sister to Hastinapura for her wedding, and remained as a nobleman at the court there.
His activities at the court were concentrated on safeguarding the position of his sister's children; the Kaurava. Hence, he is seen as a scheming and evil person. He was responsible for arranging the dice game where Duryodhana, his nephew, cheated Yudhisthira of his part of the kingdom.
