I almost didn’t recognize you without your usual mog. That threw me. lol
Human Male Ret Paladins
I am. I’ve been waiting for my big debut.
Varian Wynn. He had statues built of himself and then refused to pay the builders. Yeah we can say Sargeras, or Arthas or some kind of corrupted evil. But Varian was a normal human who was considered a hero and great king but his own ego and cheapness created the defias brotherhood and killed his wife.

Varyian chose to be evil for selfish reasons.
Sargeras wasn’t even being selfish. Like I don’t think he wanted to end all life in the cosmos. He just didn’t have a choice he felt after the Nathrezim got their claws into him.

This is really hard for WoW players to come to a consensus on, particularly when the concept of “moral relativism” is given any credence. Plus, is “the most evil” relative to the amount of evil they’re capable of enacting or the amount of evil they pursue within their realm of influence?
Here are a couple of top candidates in my opinion though:
- Queen Azshara - Cares only for herself, pretends to care about others so long as they contribute to her in some way. Epitome of narcissism, unafraid to perform evil acts so long as it appears to benefit her in some way.
- Nathanos - Cares only for Sylvanas, everyone and everything else can be sacrificed for her. More of an obsession than “true love” since committing acts of evil for her sake is well within the realm of possibility.
- Gul’Dan - Just wants to watch all worlds burn, seemingly without any desire to benefit anything or anyone. Loves inflicting a sense of hopelessness in others, and using the legion happened to fit the bill pretty nicely while otherwise allowing Gul’Dan to remain “sane”.
- Cho’Gal - Much like Gul’Dan, but not afraid to embrace insanity. Allies more-so with the Void than the Legion.
- Zul - Similar to Gul’Dan and Cho’Gal, but perhaps not quite in the same league.
- Xera - Forcefully nullifying free will to further your own cause is typically a huge no-no, no matter how talented you are at painting your own cause as “good”.
Honorable Mentions
- Void Lords - Arguably evil from our perspective and capable of great power, though their true “moral center” or “reason to act” has yet to be revealed. Manipulative? Of course, though that’d just land them in a similar spot to Xera (though Xera is worse because she’s pretending to be good while doing evil).
- Sargaras and/or The Jailor - The “biggest bads”, given a sloppy quip to try and explain why their perspectives/choices are “relatable”.
- Professor Umbridge - Not technically part of the WoW universe, but notably evil none-the-less.

But AU Gul’dan has such a nice Harbringers video 
Milicent Manastorm. Anyone Millhouse is afraid of has to be truly evil.

*Shadowlands Spoilers
He was corrupt like no other and the first and only character so significant in Warcraft Lore and directly involved with so many adventurers, that it’s unsettling to think that as such a prominent and personal character he was eventually regarded as so irredeemably evil to be banished into the Maw.
And to give merit still to his evil nature, in an act of even further defiance to having any repent for his cruelty and the atrocities he has committed, he destroyed his own soul.
That… was a very twisted Orc.

Arthas butchered his own people long before becoming corrupted.
