An undertaken is usually just another name given to a mortician and I find nothing particularly frightening about a person who prepares the dead for viewing. Unless you're referring to the grim reaper or an executioner when you say undertaker, in which case answers may differ.

If you're referring to the grim reaper I'd say the Witch King has him beat. The grim reaper isn't an evil presence, but an element to life and there are a lot of people who welcome his presence when they are sick or old.

An executioner is a bit more frightening, but not everyone will be put to his axe which makes him less frightening for some. Whereas everyone must live in fear of the Witch King should his master prevail.
