(The villain of my game is gonna make the Qu and AM look like cotton candy vendors and doesn't even have a tragic backstory, just pure malice, but he still believes that what he's doing is correct)
Like professor helix over here wants to genetically mutilate an entire alien species to use them as a power source no matter how much suffering it causes them. Luckily he gets his ass kicked before he can start doing it at a huge scale
Thats why I like the absolute solver/cyn from murder drones
They're evil not because of being tragic, they're evil just because they're evil. They didn't have to wear the skin of a dead girl, but they did anyways
That's why i also love bad guys like sauron, joker, and GLaDOS. They're just evil by nature (except for maybe sauron but he was led by something as simple as fascism)
