I have a question about "Tragic" and "Insecure". At one point is a villain just Tragic and at what point just Insecure?

I just know that Insecure villains can also be villains with a tragic backstory but which go too far with their crimes so it's no excuse for it.

I can give a few examples of my villains which I think are just Tragic, just Insecure or both.

Just Tragic would be the Wolf Military Guy and the Furry Gangster Boss. The WMG because he has lost many of his soldiers in war and also because of the protagonist's fault which also causes in him losing his left eye and the FGB because he had no parents and lived on the streets and was poor. But both are really mentally strong and seem to not be insecure about things and the things they done and have done.

Just Insecure would be the archenemy of the protagonist from my first story ever. He sometimes seems very insecure and like he just needs a loved one and shows his heart when he is working with the protagonists, and isn't just "pure evil".

Both would be the Wolf Lady and the Assassin. Because the Wolf Lady hold her dying sister in her hands and was mentally destroyed by that, but also seemed very insecure about many things, like killing some criminals or blinded by revenge nearly killing her friends, which she didn't wanted. The Assassin was bullied and hurt by his class mates, his abusive father and even the teachers to the point he was mentally breaked and killed everyone, but even if he was later really bloodthirsty and brutal, killing tons of people, he seemed sometimes too unstable to know what he is doing and regretting some of his crimes and being unsure and scared of it.
