he is, despite how horrific his crimes are, a tragic antagonist due to his body and mind being posioned to the extent you can argue he's become akin to the "Mad King" in Game of Thrones etc.. on the other hand he seems able to scheme and plot extremely complex plans, which suggests more sanity than one would first think..

complicated case - he's more nightmare fuel, I'd argue, than full on "pure evil".
