Chaotic Evil: Independent and Determined
A chaotic evil character does whatever their greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive them to do. They can be hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If they are simply out for whatever they can get, they are ruthless and brutal. If they're committed to the spread of evil and chaos, it's even worse. Thankfully, their plans are haphazard, and any groups they join or form are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as they thwart attempts to topple or assassinate themselves.
Chaotic evil could be thought of as "demonic" because demons are sometimes considered the epitome of chaotic evil.
