"Nefarious" is indeed a great pick.

As a native French speaker, my favourites are those words that capture concepts better than their French equivalent.

Something as simple as "mind" for example. In French, you're stuck with "esprit" which also means "spirit" or "facultés mentales" which is quite annoying to use in conversation.
