Hey, I have a possible CM from Star Trek Online:

So basically, the race known as the Tzenkethi has been glassing planets, most of whom have billions of people on them, with protomatter bombs (It's later revealed to have been in order to wipe out the eggs of this weird bug-like species that is super dangerous). During a fight against the bug aliens, you encounter the monstrous Tzenkethi admiral, Aarn Tzen-Tarrak.

Who is he and what does he do?

Tarrak is a Fleet Admiral in the Tzenkethi Empire and an all around despicable person. 12 years before the main events, he hires a Ferengi called Madran to get information on protomatter, which he happily states will result in them being able to use to create bombs. Later (in a flashback), he and a small fleet are using protomatter on a planet, and he orders captain Parr to destroy dozens of evacuee vessels from said planet for no real reason. This causes a horrified Parr to start to have doubts in her mind. The next planet has 4 billion people, and put all their crystals on the moon, but Admiral Tarrak glasses the planet anyways due to what is believed to be pure pettiness and a "suspicion" that the crystals might be on the planet. This horrifies Parr even further, as they were 4 billion innocent lives snuffed out for no good reason. After that planet is glassed, the fleet visits another planet, but when Parr says that the protomatter bomb is ready to activate, he tells her to leave even though her men are stuck and can't be evacuated. She protests, but he threatens to kill her if she continues to object, calling those men "acceptable losses". Parr states that he simply "wanted to get to his next genocide right on time", and this causes her to defect. In the main story, Tarrak appears countless times, at first telling you to leave, then fleeing whenever you defeat his ship. He glasses countless planets, one of which is a moon belonging to the race Kentar. The bomb wipes out millions of Kentari, and while the damage done to the planet is reversed, the lives taken aren't. When you make an Enemy Mine with the Tzenkethi against the creatures coming from the diamond, known as the Drantzuli, and fight it off successfully, the admiral immediately turns on you once they are defeated and tries to kill you, only stop when his men overthrow him and make peace with you. Later, he attacks Deep Space 9, only to be defeated and forced to surrender. When the Drantizuli are revealed to be a violent alien race called the Hur'q, he gloats about it and mocks you about the death toll the Hur'q will inflict. When the rest of the Tzenkethi, led by Parr, make an Enemy Mine with you, he flees back to Tzenketh, leaving you to die (though you eventually win). He will most certainly appear later on in the season.

Heinous Standard? GOD YES. He literally kills billions to maybe tens of billions of people ONSCREEN.

Redeeming Features? So far, NONE. He acts like he is a Knight Templar, but his pettiness when killing 4 billion people (doing it out of a petty "suspiscion" even though it was confirmed that scans showed NO CRYSTALS WHATSOEVER) removes any possible justification for this. When you kill another Tzenkethi captain, he sounds a bit sad. Keep in mind he was willing to kill another captain who objected to him, and once killed one of his men who tried stopping him from launching a protomatter bomb at a planet. Even if the remorse was genuine, it is such a small moment that it means nothing.
