Well, let's see...

Lucia and Faye: Roughly in the same department. They're about as heinous as each other as they each have a slew of crimes (rape, torture, genocide, and a whole lot of murder) in their name (some similar to each other in some aspects) and both ultimately team up for a common goal (which means the destruction of all existence). Faye initially has a lot less resources than Lucia, but the two get onto similar ground once they team up. In terms of heinousness, they're more heinous than every other villain in the canon aside from Ix Nagoth, but the other two can still count because of the massive difference in resources.

Ix Nagoth: Ix is the Big Bad of the setting and is quite literally a god. This automatically places it heads and toes every other villain in the canon, and it manages to stand out from the other malicious gods of the setting through its modus operandi, which is creating a planet and billions of races, then slowly breaking down the world, driving all of its creations of madness, and generally using them in twisted, sadistic games over a course of millions of years before obliterating them once they finally get too ruined to use anymore and creating a new world to entertain itself. No other dark god in the setting does things of that scale, and its ultimate goal (the unmaking of all reality) is shared only by Lucia/Faye (even Draynak intends to remake reality as opposed to outright destroying it).

Whir: Now, Whir's a serial killer/serial rapist, which is hardly unheard of in the setting - so much so that there's a literal cult filled with them that worships death. Why Whir counts, though, is that what he does and his ambitions reach way, way above every other in his level. His methods of killing people are ungodly slow, drawn out, and pointlessly cruel (how's slowly chopping bits of flesh off of people and then force-feeding them it until they either bleed out or choke on their own vomit/flesh? Or binding someone together with tape, setting them on fire, and then kicking them off to what amounts to a mountain? Among many, many other, often creative, ways) and his victims are implied to be in the hundreds. Furthermore, Whir has no sense of standard - at all - and makes a point of threatening to rape and murder someone to make them stop talking. Add on that he ultimately wants to butcher the population of his own hometown and he's on a scale none of the other killers manage to reach. He's about as bad as he can be.

Severa Sixfinger: Severa's unique in this canon in that he's not necessarily working on that wide of a scale (and, once more, as a normal human, he doesn't really have much room to work on that big of a scale). What makes Severa unique is that A. his crimes are a lot more drawn out than a lot of others, and B. he's an underhanded bastard par the dozen; he's a member of something called the Tribe of Arms (a tribe of bandits in the 14th or so century) who convinces a mother and her three-year-old child to follow him, then tossing them both off of a waterfall for kicks after robbing them, shot a poisoned arrow into someone's throat and then watched it kill him over a course of three hours, has been keeping two girls as sex slaves for about a year (he'd previously done the same to another girl, who he killed after about six months after she resisted far too much to his liking), and he's been manipulating his own tribe for years in order to gain what they want, tricking his own teammates into killing themselves, poisoning them, framing some of them for said murders, and finally slaughtering half of the tribe, with his own hand, raping one, before he leaves those who remain to be captured by English royalty, where they'll be sent for painful torture/interrogation and eventual execution. He also manages to kill both his own adoptive mother and the main protagonist, so... Ultimately, while Severa doesn't really reach the scale the others do, he still works in such a pointlessly traitorous and self-concerned way he ultimately counts on a lower level (even Faye and Whir can stay reasonably loyal to those they're aligned with).
