A completely unrestrained shadow archetype, like you see in villains, has various components to it: narcissism (all that matters is what i want -), machiavellianism (- and i'll do anything to get it -), sociopathy (- and i won't feel bad about doing what i have to -), psychopathy (- in fact, it'll make me feel good to get what I want -), and sadism (- especially if I can make others feel bad along the way!).

Sadism - experiencing positive feelings in response to experincing the negative feelings of others.

Psychopathy - undiluted positive feelings in response to the reaching of ones goals or the satisfaction of ones desires, regardless of the means by which this was accomplished.

Sociopathy - the lack of negatige feelings in response to the use of antisocial means to reach ones goals or satisfy ones desires.

Machiavellianism - the willingness to achieve ones goals or satisfy ones desires by the most effective means available.

Narcissism - the prioritization of ones own goals or desires over those of others.

(optional) Libertinism/Deviance/Degeneracy - The disregard for social norms, conventions, traditions, or cultures in the pursuit of novel stimulation or experinces. The urge to break all taboos and insult all things held sacred by their in-group.
