I think that Vaughan Kendells can be considered Pure Evil

Who is he, and what has he done?

Vaughan Kendells is the son of Urien Kendells, the Arl of Denerim. He is a character in the Video Game, "Dragon Age Origins". He is notorious for his mistreatment of elves.

In the City Elf Origin, he first appears harassing the Warden's cousin, Shianni. Then he comes back to kidnap many of the elven women to take them back to his castle to rape them.

When the Warden and Soris encounter Vaughan, he will attempt to bribe them. And if they accept, he will betray them. If they refuse, he will be killed.

If the Warden isn't a City Elf, you can encounter him in his prison cell where you have the chance to either free him, leave him to rot, or kill him.

Heinousness

He constantly harasses and tortures elves simply for his own enjoyment. And it's not just elves; he's beaten human female servants for saying the wrong thing or making the slightest mistake. In Leliana's Song DLC, he can be heard beating a servant girl simply for informing him about a strange noise.

Mitigating Factors

As a child, Urien often ignore his son and gave him whatever he wanted because he was simply too busy. This, along with having self-centered friends, may have colored his personality. Still, being spoiled does not justify treating elves like vermin. It doesn't justify kidnapping or rape.

In fact, many of his own family have tried to protect the elven servants from him.

Final Verdict

I would definitely vote yes on him being Pure Evil.
