Yes. A villain can be both tragic and pure evil. Here are some examples:

1. Koba (dawn of the planet of the apes) - That messed-up ape gone through some deep mud (I'll keep it clean, but you know what i meant). Being tortured, experimented and abused in a degree i wish almost no one on earth. But non of the trouble he gone through can justify his dictatorship and treachery. Mao Tse Tung in a shape of chimpanzee.

2. Roman Bridger (scream 3) - I'm not justifing this vengfull psychopath in anyway, but he gone through possibly the most harsh denial in the world. His own mother rejected him. Few are the people who can handle the fact their birth mother dont love them. Yes, he's still pure evil (Matricide through Billy Loomis and Stu Macher? check. Trying to kill his own sister and frame her at his killing for something she had no control over? check. Kill people who once worked for you, or even knew you beyond work? check), but that dosent make any less tragic.

3. King Einon (dragon's heart) - can be considered tragic, as he was once a hero, who learned from the best how to be a king. It's a shame Einon chose to become a tyrant and kill his own mother. You could add these guys if you want to tyvm :)

1.Ardyn Izuina: He was rejected by the people he saved. But it doesn't hold up to his sheer atrocity and sadism

2.Luca Blight: He saw his mother being raped but it also doesn't hold up since his atrocity outweights his Freudian Excuse and he embraces being an evil human being

3.Dio Brando: His father abused him but that Freudian Excuse rings hollow due to the fact that he broke the spirits of Jonathan and the Joestar family. Oh, I won't forgot about the sideway scene in Cairo :P

4.Ellen from Witch's House: This is the biggest example IMO. Her backstory is tragic like her father abandoned her and she was diagnosed with unknown illness....But that excuse fall flat since she embrace being a sadist and due to what she did with Viola and other creature in the house.
