Yes for this version of The Master. This version is nothing more than a heartless monster who killed many people for the sake of making the Doctor suffer. His cruel nature and methods when kick=starting wars is so great that he surpasses many other villains who also meet the heinous standard. Keep in mind that there are many villains in the Who universe that could count as PE, and this man is more sadistic than even some of the many who destoryed countless worlds.

So, overall, yes for trying to make the Doctor suffer and standing out more than your average Who villain when it comes to being sadistic.
