Hey :-). It had been a long time. How are you these days?

I know you already locked Lewis Dodgson's page in this wiki due to disagreement about whether he's pure evil or not, but evidents from the book shows he's evil with no redeeming qualities. Here are the reasons he's pure evil:

1. He was the first human in the franchise who tried to kill another human being (he tried to drowning Sarah Harding and went out of his way to sabotage the efforts of the heroes group to a dangerous degree). It's a heinous thing to do (even in real life. Especially in JP franchise, because usually, every creature who try to kill humans is a dinosaur), because up until Dodgson, no human tried to kill people with his/her bare hands.

2. No redeeming qualities. Not a scapegoat (everyone who read the book would agree Dodgson got exactly what he deserve), no regrets for ruining people's lives, no regard for anyone or anything except for his own hide. Nothing. Unlike most of the other villains, Dodgson have no Freudian excuse for being evil. He was just like that. I-Rex, The Big One and Indoraptor must've had a hard life. Hoskins got a bump in the head while doing his military service. Wu lost it after his father figure passed away. Ludlow had severe inferiority issues and desire to rehabilitate Ingen, which fueled his greed and indifference to human lives. Yoder went crazy after seeing his friends getting killed. Nedry had financial problems. Dodgson doesn't have a troubled past. Just mean spirit and greed.

3. He was responsible to human casualties long before the story even began. He spreaded an experimental rabies virus without informing the locals. The book mention some kids ended up in hospital, but it's implied that Dodgson practically killed many people with that virus. Even Hoskins can claim he wanted to improve mankind in a militaristic psychopathic way. Dodgson can't. His whole essence in the novel was to be a diabolical individual who cant be anything but a major hate sink.

4. If there's a cinematic JP villain who resemble Dodgson, that would be Eli Mills. Just like Dodgson, Mills tried to kill someone with his bare hand (and succeeded). I still havent saw JW:FK, but from what i've heard, Mills might just be almost as dark as Dodgson. Good chance Mills will turn out to be pure evil. Dodgson was worse than him, so being worse than a pure evil person makes the worse one as pure evil himself.
