On my perspective I have many Tragic villains and a few who become Pure Evil and it's no excuse what they do or have a not real "tragedy".

For example for a "harmless not-really-evil villain" is the anthro wolf lady. She just did justice herself and is a vigilante. Want to kill every criminal to make the city saver. But she is not a "really evil tragic villain". I think she is more amoral, grey zone, villains by proxy, an anti-villain and delusional.

A "harder tragic villain" example would be the military guy who loses his man and eye in war because of the fault of the protagonist, wanting revenge on him an killing him. Still have much honor and gives him a chance to maybe not kill him if he leave of something. His later plans are different, planning to make war against government and build in his perspective a better one. On the way killing some people and crosses the MEH sometimes but not to high and deep.

A example for "fake tragedy Pure Evil villains" would be this ones:

The scientist super villain from the sci-fi fantasy story. Wants to excuse himself and blame his mentor into what he is becoming to, but it's his own fault because his ego was to high, making believing himself to be the most intelligente and best being in the entire universe, don't caring for others.

The uncle who ruined the life of his nephew and making him a psychotic murderer. Blaming him for the death of his family, but it was his own fault and he never really loved or cared about them later. He abuses his own daughter many times and have anger tantrums. He become this way because of his abusive father and he even tortures his own mother as a child, disfiguring her face. Also mentally tortures children and had let them tortured and killed by his right-hand man.

The villain I first talked with you about. His backstory is not very clearly and known but he was threated bad by his parents but his twin brother not. So the two became two different people because of that. But it doesn't excuse his heartless and cruel crimes and he doesn't show he cared about his tragedy.
