Alright, now, try to follow along here, what if...

The protagonist of a story becomes the worst tyrant in history to achieve world peace, but the actions he took to become the worst tyrant are never shown or explained, and any negative consquences of his actions are not shown, and he's portrayed as being entirely in the right, and all the other characters forgive him and agree with him after discovering what his true intentions were.

Does that character count as a villain, even if they were only pretending?
