so I am returning to the wiki, figuring it best to ignore certain things but I want to ask an alignment question, can a "Tyrant" style villain be chaotic evil?

a "Tyrant" villain is a character who enslaves people, is extremely cruel and has the infamous "take over the world" mentality classical villains had (when not being cackling madmen who kidnapped a hero's love interest, that is).

can a Tyrant be chaotic evil or is it always a form of Lawful Evil?
