Living in the gutter, you learn to spot low-lifes pretty quick if you want to see tomorrow. I've trained my nose to sort out the bad ones from the good just from a sniff! This fellow reeks of brimstone and blood worse than anyone I ever laid eyes on! He is Pure Evil, right down to his very bones! Is he a victim of circumstance, you're wondering? Not on your life! He's been evil since he drew his first breath!
~ Robert E. O. Speedwagon rejecting Dio Brando's excuses that he's evil due to his father abusing him.
I-It's only now that I understand the depth of the depravity of this...creature - this monster that I unwillingly helped to create. As if what he had already done wasn't enough, he found a new way to desecrate, to humiliate, to destroy. As if the suffering wasn't enough, the loss of innocence, the loss of everything to so many people. Small souls trapped in prisons of my making now set to new purpose and used in ways I never thought imaginable.
~ Henry Emily talking about his old business partner, Wiliam Afton.

TUEs who are Pure Evil. These characters are the most nasty villains of their stories due to their irredeemable and heinous nature, even by the standards of the works they are within. To them, doing evil is just as natural as breathing. They are the complete opposites of Pure Good TUGs.

They can be recognized by these signs:

  • Sins Over Heinous Standards: They commit acts that are atrocious by the standards of the story, setting themselves and their wrongdoings apart from regular characters (villains or not) from their work. By default, they have crossed the Moral Event Horizon in the process (note that villains who have only crossed the MEH once usually do not qualify, although rare examples exist).
  • No Offscreen Villainy: Their crimes must be visible within the story in some way, shape or form. No matter how vile they might sound on paper, crimes that are only mentioned are not applicable to the category's criteria unless evidence or after effects are shown.
  • Resourceful: They use whatever resources and time they have in their storyline to be as horrible as possible without holding back.
  • Defined Personality: They must have a defined personality and motives (e.g. if a villain is destroying anything in their path but has no coherent personality or goals to back up their evil presence, they are a Generic Doomsday Villain, not Pure Evil).
  • Serious: They are taken seriously, causing fear, revulsion, and hatred from other characters in the story. Therefore, villains that fall under Comic Relief can never qualify.
  • Moral Agency: They must possess the cognitive ability to know right from wrong yet choose to do wrong anyway.
  • They are never presented in a positive or altruistic fashion.
  • No Love: They can never feel love for others. If they claim to have love for anyone, that "love" would merely be either perversion, possessiveness, or obsession.
  • Irredeemable: They are completely beyond redemption and absolutely nothing justifies their actions.
  • Remorseless: They display no sense of remorse towards those who they have hurt nor do they express any empathy for others as well.
