For me it’s Nimue, Cruella and Hades. They are the only villains I recall with no tragic backstory/reasoning for their villains and no remorse either. They were evil and they knew it and didn’t care. All other Big Bads had a bit of sympathy. Regina, Cora, Zelena, Ingrid, Ursula, Rumple, Drizella, and Rapunzel all had tragic backstories. Fiona and Pan at least had reasons in their own mind. Fiona did love Rumple. And Maleficent has no backstory we know of, but she loved Lily and was willing to change for her. Cruella, Nimue and Hades on the other hand just used their loved ones for their schemes and didn’t care.
