The trope can be subject to opinion which is why folks try not to overuse it to disqualify it when it really counts. Finding someone monsterous isnt enough otherwise the trope would be one giant "Well I never." exchanged by griping old ladies. In addition to being generally monsterous there needs to be no redeeming qualities shown, their every breath needs to cause someone else pain through pure spite. I don't know if I would give Bradley that much credit, Tucker maybe, but maybe not, since he feels bad about it, that doesn't make it okay but does show a sliver of regret most CMs dont generally have. Teppi might qualify but he seems more petty than anything else from what I have read, his actions appear to have realtively little weight, It's like saying Nelson Monts is a Complete Monster, well he could be, but we only ever see him tormenting school-mates and laughing at others' misery, that isn't exactly burning down an orphanage.

Ares has that issue too, he appears to have no redeeming qualities and he is certainly a Blood Knight, but his acts of cruelty are either entirely incidental to starting wars or to just messing with Kratos, who let's face it wasn't exactly employee of the month, of course he was going to spite him eventually.
