We conjure, oblige, and terribly exorcise ye, that ye Sultan Marrake al-Sadim al-Hariq ben Lazon Pasha Bazidan of Flames draw near unto us without delay and without fear, as far as is possible unto ye, here before His Royal Majesty, Orb and Scepter, as a supplicant gently and with discretion, to accomplish our will in all and through all. If ye come promptly and voluntarily, ye shall inhale our perfumes, and our suffumigations of pleasant odour, which will be both agreeable and delightful unto ye. Furthermore ye will see the symbol of your creator, and the names of his holy angels. If thou provest true and without blemish or mark, we shall afterwards dismiss ye, and send ye hence with thanks. But if, on the contrary, ye come not quickly, and ye show yourself self-opinionated, rebellious, and contumacious, we shall conjure ye again, and exorcise ye ceaselessly, and will repeat all the aforesaid words and holy names of God and of the holy angels; by the which names we shall harass you, and if that be not sufficient we will add thereunto yet greater and more powerful ones, and we will thereunto again add other names which ye have not yet heard from us, which are those of an almighty God, and which will make ye tremble and quake with fear, both ye and your princes; by the which names we conjure both you and them also, and we shall not desist from our work until the accomplishment of our will. But if perchance ye yet shall harden yourself, and show yourself self-opinionated, disobedient, rebellious, refractory, and contumacious, and if ye yet resist our powerful conjurations, we shall pronounce against you this warrant of arrest in the name of God almighty, and this definite sentence that ye shall fall into dangerous disease and leprosy, and that in sign of the divine vengeance ye shall perish by a terrifying and horrible death, and that a fire shall consume and devour you on every side, and utterly crush you; and that by the power of God, a flame shall go forth from his mouth which shall burn ye up and reduce ye unto nothing in Hell. Wherefore delay ye not to come, for we shall not cease from these powerful conjurations until ye shall be obliged to appear against your will.
We conjure, oblige, and terribly exorcise ye for thine offenses.
Manslaughter for thine reckless negligence toward the lowly slaves of the Outlying Endeavor of our noble securities.
Larceny as toward the slight and offense of His Excellency and Proconsul for documents and the light among his rafters and the virginal care of the doves in His charge.
Robbery among those money changers for which we are most obliged to carry in Our esteem the signs and symbols of office and the trade ceremony.
Arson by the long route along the high point of the maximus equestrian square where many good citizens lost a Summer labor.
Forgery of the Royal Countenance given toward the ass of Satan himself.
Counterfeiting long and short the armaments of trade essential to Our most beloved pastime and National treasure.
Rape near toward the homes of far too many affairs of our most true interest of heart.
False prophecy as an embodiment itself here on this Earth with all the nature of Hell behind thou terrible inclination and late repute.
Witchcraft from the ass of Satan to your lips the path to the Dark Realm.
Grand Larceny of our most Royal Clarian call and our voice in affairs at Court, our most true Hephastian muse.
[Warrant for one of the worst in one of my campaigns.]
I actually used my old PC from a friend's game, to become the BBEG of my last Star Wars campaign, which fractured the party along a lot of ideological viewpoints (as was meant; Len Nastil, aka "Finder", used biological weapons against the Empire, ones that were not very "discriminating")

EDIT: My favorite lines on that list is:
Breaking Into an Imperial Installation, followed by
Breaking Out of an Imperial Installation
I always liked the trope of the rebellious princess. Putting her thumb in her father's eye at every turn, wanted above wanted, but he wouldn't approve of your killing her.
None of the ones I created as a DM can measure up to my PCs.

Isn't that the truth. What?! No one called me a crazy person for the fantasy campaign warrant/summons? ha Hard to relate these, since they are usually so bound to campaign details. So, the warrant/summons DOES seem crazy even to me without context.
At the dawn of times most of the "Gods of Good and Law" in my FR campaign decided that Chaos was "a Clear and Present Danger" to the peaceful development of Faerun Races. They thus launched "Operation Affliction": a covert army of angels tasked with striking and eliminating Chaos wherever it showed up. Asmodeus, chief among these angels, asked for more and more power and leevage to fight both the enemy and his followers (breaking lafwul and good rules for "the greater good", creation of a "Pit" where to imprison corrupted mortal souls etc). At the end the "Righteous God" realized they had created the Devils.
A second Operation was put in motion: "Black Shield". Using undercover agents (Malconvokers) the Gods of "Good" (by now between quotes) used the increased rifts between the families/races/power groups in Myth Drannor to spark a war between Demons and Devils (by convincing key power groups that ally themselves with this or that demonic/diabolic power was tactfully approved by the "Good Gods" for "The Greater Good"). This "spark" ended up setting the Lower Planes on fire and marked the start of the Blood War.
Some Gods, however, were totally cut off from both "Affliction" and "Black Shield". Chief among them, Chauntea. When the characters, accidentally, stumbled in some suspicious and disturbing facts, Chauntea was made aware that something big had happened behind her back. She confronted the other Gods and ended up being killed by them. Or so the now corrupt Good Gods believed. Actually her spirit was banished to Piranesia, the unknown eight level of Carceri. Acting under the patronage of Eldath and Mielikki, the characters went undercover and off the grid (think "Bourne") and managed both to collect enough evidence on "Affliction" and "Black Shield" before freeing Chauntea. She returned to the Higher Planes with a vengeance and, at once, every single mortal and divine creature in Toril was made aware of what had happened. The faith in the Gods of Good collapsed (and pleas to Chauntea to keep quiet for "the Greater Good" were ignored) and the "Time of Troubles" began for the Good Gods only.
Of course both Demons and Devils were a bit miffed when the truth came to light, stopped the Blood War and started a vendicative Crusade on Toril - but this became part of another story.
The Most Wanted in my fantasy campaign is a priest who decades ago rallied the hierarchy in a civil war against the king and nobility of a powerful country, attempting to turn the kingdom into a full blown theocracy, the culmination of many years of work weakening royal authority.
After a bloody, bitter, and closely fought civil war the old powers under the Beardless King won the day and the clergy were put in their proper place. The proper place for this priest was in the depths of one of the most forbidding fortress-prisons in all the lands, where he languished after escaping the headsman's axe out of respect for the gods, reputedly taking no water or food, merely sitting in prayer all this time.
Of course, he was recently broken out of the oubliette by the group as part of a complex series of political maneuvers which incidentally are rapidly getting out of hand.
In my Albion campaign, until recently, the Most Wanted was "Robin of Redesdale", the latest in a 250-year line of leaders of Sherwood's "Merry Men". He had raised up a rebellion against King Edward of York, and rallied 30 000 peasants to his cause, incensed by the apparent corruption and incompetence of the king's new in-laws, the Woodvilles. Robin was suspected of in fact being a disgruntled Lancastrian knight trying to pave the way for a restoration of the Mad King.
Of course, he was just a plant for the Earl of Warwick, who funded his venture, used him to start a revolt against Edward and in his favor, and then arranged for Robin of Redesdale to "die tragically" just after their victory against the king's forces were assured (leaving Warick alone to enjoy all the spoils of victory).
Of course, now that Edward has been restored, Warwick is pretty much the Kingdom's Most Wanted. Pretty soon, there will be a reckoning.

How about Dunt Gripp?
A halfbreed Staropolskan-kanatan rabble rouser and partime Magi. Dunt was banned from most of the known kingdoms and so founded his own stronghold in the Southern realms. From there he wages a tireless unending war against the phantom armies of the Red Wardons. Whilst the rest of the world believed that the Red Wardons were a temporary threat at best Dunt holds thay have wormed themselves into the very heart of the world and have taken on many guises to try and seduce the naive populace.
The bardic Inwse and their prevelance for storytelling are currently the main focus of his rage but he still regards the flamboyant denizens of The World of Darkness as a substantial danger to civilisation and stands always ready to mount an assualt upon them should their empire rise again to prominence.
Meanwhile, in my Arrows of Indra campaign, Krishna has certainly got "Most Wanted" status in the Maghadan Empire, for having overthrown the "legitimate" king of Mathura and been responsible for the deaths of two of the emperor's chief generals as well as untold hordes of the Maghadan armies.
