If any of y'all need some inspiration for a truly villainous villain, look up Psalm 10:2-11. Here it is in the Holman Christian Standard version:

In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue the afflicted;
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

3 For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;
the one who is greedy curses[a] and despises the Lord.
4 In all his scheming,
the wicked arrogantly thinks:[b]
“There is no accountability,
since God does not exist.”
5 His ways are always secure;[c]
Your lofty judgments are beyond his sight;
he scoffs at all his adversaries.
6 He says to himself, “I will never be moved—
from generation to generation without calamity.”
7 Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;
trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8 He waits in ambush near the villages;
he kills the innocent in secret places.
His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;
9 he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket.
He lurks in order to seize the afflicted;
he seizes the afflicted and drags him in his net.
10 So he is oppressed and beaten down;
the helpless fall because of his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He hides His face and will never see.”

Deceit, violence, scorn of God... All good (or should I say bad) traits for a villain to have. :)
