I vote yes because out of all the characters in the series with a level of resources comparable to him, he's by far the most needlessly sadistic (burning his cook to death and torturing the mermaid before leaving her to die when she's outlived her usefulness) and the only one on his level without any redeeming features. He's easily the most sadistic of the POTC villains, and the only one besides Beckett who has no redeeming features at all (and Beckett has more resources than him). Barbosa and Jones both had scraps of honor to them, while Beckett and Tech were just pure evil. While he lacks the crimes of Beckett, he makes up for it with his sadism.
