• When he is arrested, he attempts to throw his son under the bus for his crimes and shows no care for him, calling him a "fat moron".
• Despite this being another small scale, he has some slight personal villainy to the SVU detectives as he ordered the rape of Pilar Morenas, who was later forced to be one of Johnny Drakes many slaves.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

• It is implied he has additional victims, though it is never confirmed and while the terrorist plot he aided is known to have casualties, the details of it are not gone into, thus causing him to suffer from Fridge Horror and fail the absurd heinous standards.
