The fact is that the things he did were malevolent. Granted, the value judgement upon that fact might differ, I suppose you could say it is relative, but for me, if it's malevolent, it's malevolent.
And that is your subjective view(which I agree with BTW).
And the actions of a person can only ever be judged morally by other people, in other words their actions are viewed, and can only ever be viewed subjectively.
The only objective view can be taken by the universe at large and it doesn't care.
