Would my Big Bad count as an Eldritch Abomination?

Okay, the villain of my (hopefully publishable) series is called the Creator. He's an evil god that holds nothing but contempt for anything living that isn't his own creation. Every 1000 years between civilizations, he prepares by building up a massive army that he then unleashes on the setting to annihilate whatever races inhabit it at the time. He has the ability to create monsters, put parts of his being into his creations to control them, and has no sense of mercy. He possesses the power to drive a person or persons insane, the wall that borders his domain depicts scenes of rape, burning, pillaging, and slaughter, and he eventually decides on omnicide, both in the main setting and above it (on the surface, the main setting at least for the first book takes place underground)

No.

An Eldritch Abomination is something that is not merely horrific and disgusting, but overwhelmingly alien and wrong.

A prerequisite for being an Eldritch Abomination is that your mere presence warps the world around you.

nothing but contempt

No, eldritch abominations don't care enough to hate.

And why do you ask?

I see the EA requirements as being incomprehensible, incomprehensibly big/powerful, and has an incomprehensible mind.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

Oh, okay. Thank you all.

And just wondering, is all. It seemed like he had all the qualities.
