also as a general rule outright *trying* to make your antagonist pure evil is a terrible storytelling technique.. create your antagonists to enhance the telling of a story, not simply as a "look how evil they are" spectacle.. trying to up the evil scale of antagonists rarely works and often makes them fall flat.. almost all true pure evil characters were not created by writers who specifically sat down and said "I want this to be the most evil character ever".. the story just made them that way.
