If that's your criterion for evil, then Mr Elliot Written by Graciela (3/17/2013 1:31 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Is morally wrong the same as evil?, penned by Stacey GC

is evil, because he wants to marry Anne, separating her and Frederick:

Jealousy of Mr. Elliot! It was the only intelligible motive. Captain Wentworth jealous of her affection! Could she have believed it a week ago -- three hours ago! For a moment the gratification was exquisite. But, alas! there were very different thoughts to succeed. How was such jealousy to be quieted? How was the truth to reach him? How, in all the peculiar disadvantages of their respective situations, would he ever learn her real sentiments? It was misery to think of Mr. Elliot's attentions. Their evil was incalculable.(Ch. 20)
