** Evulz lives in a WretchedHive or TownWithADarkSecret, where he blends in with the depravity around him. On a setting-wide scale, Evulz won't need to care at all if HumansAreBastards, especially if they [[AvertedTrope don't]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards have the standards]] to hold him accountable for his actions.

** Evulz is a wanted man. Every time he goes out into the public, he risks being spotted by the heroes and taken to justice. This forces him to be CrazyPrepared with each outing, whether it's through [[ClarkKenting disguises]], acting lessons, bodyguards, or the like. Being ProperlyParanoid prevents him from enjoying any outing to the extent of an average person.


Added DiffLines:

** Evulz is a wanted man that does take all the precautions he can in going out. He's accepted this as [[BeingEvilSucks the price to pay]] [[CelebrityIsOverrated for being a major public figure]], not unlike the sacrifices heroes make for their own duties.
** Evulz is a HiddenVillain that [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse looks just like everyone else]]. He can freely go out into public because no one can actually identify him as Evulz.
