More about Cobb in The Righteous Gemstones history
The most vicious and dangerous antagonist in The Righteous Gemstones was Cobb Milsap, portrayed by Michael Rooker. Cobb stood out for his severe ruthlessness and erratic conduct, even if the series had featured a number of other enemies.
Cobb's utter lack of empathy was what made him so dangerous. Cobb liked to inflict misery for its own reason, in contrast to other villains who were motivated by power or money.
Cobb was depicted kidnapping and torturing individuals, especially Lori's ex-boyfriends like Mitch in season 4. Because of this, Cobb was significantly more cruel than any previous antagonist in the series. It also seems that Cobb had been feeding his victims to the alligators.
Cobb's aggressiveness was unpredictable. He did not have a specific objective. Instead, his aggression was motivated by pure delight. Cobb's cruelty was driven not by any practical need, but by a strong desire to harm others.
Cobb's nasty tendencies were shown when Eli and Baby Billy were taken prisoners. He was going to murder them in a thoughtless and vicious manner to demonstrate that no one was immune to his brutality. Cobb met his demise only after his own son, Corey, betrayed him. His rule came to a gruesome end when Corey stabbed him and fed him to the alligators.
