What makes a character truly EVIL?
I've been writing a novel set in medieval times, and I wanted my villain to be truly evil. Not misunderstood, not salvageable, just evil. I'm tired of reading fiction in which the villain isn't "that bad" and people find them attractive. I want my villain's actions to disgust people. What would make them truly vile?
