What Makes Him Pure Evil?

• As a child, he murdered his own father under orders from his own mother.
• He became a gangster when he grew up, murdering families and leaving the children to be orphaned and without a home. This is where he gained the moniker of "The Orphan-Maker".
• One of his victims was Silencio, whom he killed his parents (including his pregnant mother) and cut out his tongue when he was a child. Ever since, Silencio became a bitter man who can't control his anger and rage after what happened.
• Decided to use his mother's dark magic for his own ambitions by imprisoning her against her wishes. For years, he has been torturing her as he consumed her flesh and tears which left her in constant pain.
• He uses her magic to make himself a cruel and power-hungry crime lord and drug dealer in San Simon responsible for numerous murders, and mutilations
• He was also responsible for cutting one of Silencio's girlfriend's hands in the past for crossing him.
• Uses dark magic to turn his men into feral, cannibalistic monsters. One of them escaped and attacked people, sending his men to catch it which resulted in the deaths of countless people and a child.
• Executed one of his men for failing to catch one of the escaped monsters as well as incompetence.
• Turned the other gangsters into monsters to find and kill whoever was interfering with his affairs. When he learns it was the three main characters, Silencio, Isabella, and Jésus, he send in corrupt cops to kill everyone in a police station they're hailed at.
• When confronted on why he killed Sifu, their adopted father and mentor, he doesn't bother to remember as he claimed to have killed a lot of people.
• Takes over the town of San Saimon, turning the place into a base of operations. He has the body of Serrano (a priest and rival crime lord) crucified to make an example out of him, after taking control of his church.
• Hosted a Publix execution where he beats the mayor to death to instill fear onto the populace. He does the same to an elderly mystic named Garabina where he tortures her with a club.
• Slaughtered every adult in town, much to the disgust and horror of some of his men, and took the now orphaned children to be slaves. He has the children to work in his drug dealing operations against their will.
• When his mother is set free and confronts her son for his horrible treatment of her, he decides to kill her and claims he's his own man. Showing that he holds no love for his mother at all, only caring about expanding his power in the criminal underworld.
