to further this I will say this now for all users : NEVER add "psychopath" category to demons or Satanic types, as a general rule Chaotic Evil creatures are malevolent, they are evil.. this is not the same as psychopathy or even mental illness.. non-human "monsters" are not mentally ill, they are spiritual symbolism of just being nasty for the sake of being nasty.. I remember a Buffy episode that made this very clear when Giles states that with demons it is easy to understand as they are evil but with humans, it is harder.

human antagonists (or "mortals") are the ones we should add mental illness or psychopathy too - gods, demons and abstract entities are not things I see as valid for either "mental illness" or "psychopathy" (unless it is a very specific scenario, such as when Heracles was driven insane and killed his family - since he was outright stated as "insane" and not just down to "being evil / beyond mortal morality).
