I despise the old "evil is a point of view" quote, that is for real world only - fiction is fully controlled by authors, whether the audience agrees or not.. if an author makes a character "evil" by their sole morality, the character is a villain.. regardless if author's morals are against your own.. because authors have full control over their worlds and the morals within.

exceptions can exist, if an author somehow makes a "hero" so utterly offensive that the rule of "author immunity" is thrown out of the window (Alan Yates etc) - however that just further proves "evil is a point of view" is false as their are certain crimes so horrendous (and dangerous to human survival) that it is universally seen as barbaric (extreme forms of torture, genocide, terrorism and so on being good examples (yes "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" but really that does NOT apply at all to groups that mow down infants with attack-helicopters etc.. they are just plain killers.. (Full Metal Jacket had one such "soldier", I believe : when asked how he could kill women and children he simply replied "kill them quicker" or some such.. evil without reason exists, especially so in fiction).
