Morgoth, undoubtedly, is the most evil, frightening, devious, etc. simply because it is he who is responsible for the discord and evil in the first place. Enough said.
However, Sauron is no pansy either, and neither is Saruman. Give that "mad wizard" some credit. I mean, he understood Sauron's black arts better than anyone save Sauron himself. He had the guts to form an "alliance" with the Dark Lord, ready at any time to dissolve that agreement and claim absolute power for himself should the One Ring end up in his possession. He was ready to go against both Sauron and the elves!!! That takes some guts. His fatal flaw, of course, was failure to consider the Ents, but can you blame him? The Ents weren't likely to attack him, that not being their nature. Besides, even when his fortress and army was lost, did he give up? No! He almost destroyed the Shire, homeland of the Ringbearer!!!
Now that's bein relentlessly evil.
