Rogue

Rogue was a slang term for a rebellious person, often one with malevolence or ill will. According to Data, "additional meanings included: cad, knave, rake, rascal, scamp, villain, and wild element." ()
The stereotypical image of a villain, mostly drawing from 19th and 20th century Earth imagery, was that of a male figure with a thin mustache. The term "villainous" was also a phrase for an evil agenda. In response to a legal witch hunt organized by Norah Satie, Jean-Luc Picard once stated that "villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot" but also remarked that those who hid their true intentions behind good deeds were far more dangerous.
