Sadistic Evil? Selfish Evil? Self-Protective Evil?  The first 2 categories go out o their way to wrong others.  the second 2 categories aren't so much going out of their way to harm others, as much as willing to whatever it takes to promote or protect oneself.  Knowing your motive is vital.The Emperor pursued Power at any cost, and was willing to manipulate others to get it.  Secondly, he appeared to be pursuing immortality.  Any sort of full caster fits that concept, and your idea of a Beguiler/Mindbender // Rogue sounds awesome.  Illusions and enchantments will be your bread and butter.  Find ways to apply Sneak Attack to damage spells.  Sounds like a great concept for an Evil PC.I'm getting ready to start a Pathfinder game playing a necromancer.  His primary motivation is to Not Die.  He's not looking to hurt anyone, but he would be willing to throw 20 people under the bus to avoid himself ending up there.  He's Evil, not because he's going out of his way to be malicious, but he's willing to do literally anything to protect himself.</blockquote>
