I was asking if you wanted to know just to help figure it out when surfing TV Tropes or if you wanted to know to make your own characters complete monsters with little to no ambiguity.

Well first of all focus on good writing, I would advise using modular design. If you are unfamilar with the term, it means focus on the bare minimum of what pieces need to be in place for your story to work and then building on that to shape everything out. Though once you have a strong foundation think, what could your villain do that would do harm above and beyond. Be creative, it can be something as small as holding do a bug or small animal and pulling their legs off one by one to demonstrate to the protagonist or a lesser villain that they are not to be F'd with, or use it as a metaphor for what they plan to do in the larger picture, a.e. Judge Claude Frollo smashing a nest of bugs to show his notions of what needs to be done to the gypsies.
