Not every evil character is a total sociopath.  Evil characters can still fall in love, have some sense of wanting their children to be happy, honor their family, befriend others with similar mundane interests that have nothing to do with conquest and power (e.g., sports, art, hunting).   Evil can be about how you regard (or disregard) those who mean nothing to you or can do nothing for you.  Tywin Lannister, Darth Vader, Grendel's Mother, Tony Soprano, and Magneto are all evil characters who at times are motivated by a sense of love or connection to another person and even occasionally a lofty ideal or two.  They just have no moral qualms about what they'll do to protect who and what they care about.</blockquote>
