Is Supreme Leader the worst-written example of the “Evil King/Emperor” archetype in FE?

I'd say the worst written might be Marquis Laus -

But only because FE7 isn't concerned with the Evil King/Emperor Archetype, instead, the main villain is Gharnef !

Bar that, worst written example can only be, imo, Rudy from SoV.

I legit can't find anything positive to say about the guy, who apparently was very worried about the blue people so he sent his only son away in the rival country/state (and sent said son's mom in a monastery/thing?), with the purpose of having his son topple that other country so he can lead an army, in the intercontinental war he will have started, to kill him, become a "hewo" and then kill the lizard turning into goo - something he cannot do himself, despite having killed the lizard with her lesbian harem a few days earlier.

Complete with letting his edgy nephew in the dark, creating a marianna trench rift between his nephew and his son that ends in his nephew losing his remaining sanity by torching his wife - on top of making every Rigelian with half a brain despise his son -

And that was his plan to save the world??

What the actual fuck???
