Chaotic Evil

Such as the Villain, the Evil King, the Dark Sorcerer, and the Rat Bastard.

Chaotic Evil is an alignment consisting of roles who act purely for themselves and their allies if such allies are present. They directly rival Lawful Good and, like Neutral Evil, use any dirty tricks they can to win the eternal battle between good and evil. Lying, cheating, stealing, betrayal, sabotage, murder, and trickery are all familiar techniques in the Chaotic Evil playbook used against both good and the Innocent regularly. As with all things, no single description can sum up every individual in a group perfectly and all Chaotic Evil roles have different goals. However, the main goal of Chaotic Evil is often to tear down good and replace it with the suffering or death of Neutral Neutral in a world forged by Chaotic Evil and in which the alignment reigns supreme above all with no consideration of how those below them feel about their rule.

Pros

 * Chaotic Evil are often depicted as individuals who have incredibly powerful independent battle capabilities, allowing them to potentially fight off a whole group of enemies alone. This makes them the most powerful alignment when fighting alone or in very small numbers.
 * Chaotic Evil are not strangers to owning high-tier weapons, tools, and techniques. Many Villains can own superpowers that would make a protagonist overpowered, such as Teleportation or Telekinesis.

Cons

 * Chaotic Evil rarely win in fiction, being the most failed alignment of the nine.

Pure
Pure Chaotic Evil are the single most dangerous alignment combination in fiction. Not only do they pose a threat to all protagonists and neutragonists, but they have no problem killing other antagonists to get their way. As such, Pure Chaotic Evil Villains have no Henchmen or armies they use to carry out any missions, similarly to Neutral Evil. If they started out as Standard Chaotic Evil, they might have either dispatched or murdered all of their underlings to work alone. Therefore, Pure Chaotic Evil truly embody Pure Evil.

Flawed
Flawed Chaotic Evil, despite normally being antagonists, can be shown to still care for those they employ as their henchmen. In turn, their workers will come to respect and possibly even care for their master. Alternatively, Flawed Chaotic Evil could have been turned into who they are after a tragedy in their lives, and if the wrongs of the past can be and are corrected, they might step down from being Villains to live happier lives.
