My name is not BUDDY! And it's not "Incredi-Boy", either! That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help! And what did you say to me? "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone." It tore me apart, but I learned an important lesson: you can't count on anyone, especially your heroes!
~ Syndrome revealing how far he has fallen after his idol Mr. Incredible rejected him.
Retak'ka and I were best of friends. He found the Power Sphera Light Gamma, and I found the Power Sphera Quake Crystal. But as we grew older, he became greedy. He stole five more elemental powers, and then, he came after my power!
~ Hang Kasa telling BoBoiBoy and his friends what Retak'ka used to be and how he turned into what he has become.

Though Pure Evils are always completely devoid of redeeming qualities and commit heinous acts that are entirely unjustifiable, not all of them have always been this way. Some may have possessed benevolent/positive traits in the past, or even used to be heroes or nice people.

However, they may have been corrupted into Pure Evils by the unfortunate circumstances that were inflicted upon them. As a result, these villains will always shed their redeeming traits as time goes on, and ultimately be devoid of them. Hence, these types of Pure Evils can be described as Wholly Debased or Wholly Dehumanized, as they have changed for the worse and chosen a path bereft of any good. They may not have started out as villains, but they certainly have become worse than that.

For obvious reasons, Fallen Heroes fall under this category by default: however, not all characters under this category are fallen heroes. It could also be From A Nobody to Nightmare, one that started off with a valid tragedy shown ONSCREEN and/or MENTIONED but later subverting it, and/or an Evil Former Friend. Kefka Palazzo, Light Yagami, Infinite, Roman Bridger, Mysterio, DC Joker, Alan Yates, Jill Roberts, Lord Voldemort, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear etc.

Villains who were once truly Affably Evil before they descended into the point of no return and abandoning their overall, affable nature altogether can be added to this category. Thomas Sinclair is a perfect example of a villain who was once truly affable before completely shredding them altogether, and becoming devoid of any and all redeeming qualities.

Villains who were once truly In Love with someone before they descended into the point of no return and abandoning their overall, loving and caring nature to their lovers altogether are also allowed to be added to this category. Luke Lerner, and Ragyo Kiryuin are perfect examples of villains who were truly in love with someone before completely shredding that love and care altogether, and becoming devoid of any and all redeeming qualities..

Please do not add Pure Evils here who only faked redeeming qualities and/or tragedies. For example, Pure Evils such as Sebastian Shaw, Emperor Palpatine, Judge Claude Frollo, Dr. Facilier, General Lunaris, Rip Blazkowicz, Frank Tenpenny, Dick Hardly, Micah Bell, and Chucky are not allowed to be added to this category since they were never implied to have had actual redeeming qualities or tragic backstories, even if they seemed that way to other characters. Those villains should go under Charismatic, Fake Tragic, Hidden Pure Evils, Faux Affably Evil, Remorse Fakers, False Lovers and/or Liars. However, characters from any category can go here as long as they once had redeeming qualities and/or a genuinely tragic backstory.

Also, villains who originally had other prevention such as being too standard, comedic, amoral, reliant on fridge horror, or that many of their acts were done for shock value but got more heinous, motives and/or chracterization should not be added here either (e.g. Evelyn Claythorne, Eli Mills, Kash D. Langford, Agent Trout, Bill Cipher, Noo-Noo, Cursa, Mrs. Tweedy, and Dark Samus). This category is only for villains who once had genuine redeeming qualities and/or sympathetic pasts but ended up subverting and/or losing all of them.

Their Pure Good equivalent is Wholly Reformed.
