In 4th edition, evil individuals were people who, using rules and order to give them power, took advantage of their position for personal gain, disregarding the well-being of others. They didn't go out of their way to cause harm, but didn't care if they did. They supported rigid caste structures and slavery, as long as it benefited them.[1]
The evil alignment represented a moral code similar to those of lawful evil and neutral evil alignments from previous editions.[citation needed]
