I have a lot to say about him but this is more focused on his BBC character and ignoring the fact that I think he has ASPD

It's so common that people think Jack is the sadistic, blood-hungry one, but really, those traits can be found more in Roger. In the show, we see him taking multiple jabs at the sow. He beats it with no intentions to kill; It's more like he's trying to torture it. Jack, himself, even stares in shock as Roger repeatedly whacks the pig with his spear, seeming to purposely avoiding usage of the sharp part of it. Roger is the one who throws the rock at Piggy, hardly on account of Jack's word. He does it himself purely because he can. In the book, Roger shoves his spear up the sows "ass." It's grotesque, and not at all something he did by accident, nor was it necessary. He does cruel things only for the sake of it. He isn't afraid like Jack is, or manipulated by another like Maurice, he's just cruel. Roger throws stones at the littluns, and that's by himself. He's not accompanied by Maurice or Jack to be peer pressured or for fun, he doesn't laugh, and he knows it's wrong. When the littluns turn to him, he hides behind a tree because Roger knows he shouldn't be doing it. It's likely he would've gone on with it had Jack not called him over. Roger's violence and cruelty being genuine evil is made a lot more clear in the show than it is in the book, as the show contains more scenes of him acting out for no reason.
