A villain who crosses the MEH and has no redeeming qualities (They have to be genuine)  ends up as Complete Monster. So he (One of my villains, the Pure Evil question) would be Pure Evil. What you said descriped him so well as a Complete Monster. Because he has no love for others, is hatred by others and is mentally ill without tragic reasons (But you have to say that he had an old and broken home). Well with that added he's definitely a vile piece of work, many Pure Evil villains can be delusional about their goals so even if he thinks he's doing the good guy a favor (Eh, would be possible if he's as screwed up as you put him.) would count as a PE. Bare in mind that PE is more effective if their evilness surpass their insanity: If they have zero grip on reality, people would question if they're really evil or lonely f****d up people who don't even know what they're doing. So if you want him to be a PE to the very end he has to express consciousness and realitzation about the lives he's ruining, he doesn't have to care tho, in fact, he must not, if you want the guy to even get off to it it's your choice.
