After thinking about it I believe it would actually be neutral evil.Here is my reasoning. In D&D alignment is, by raw, action based not intention based. Here is the definition of evil based on D&D srd. " "Evil" implies hurting, oppressing, and killing others." If you can remember Rou keeps the elfs as slaves, against thier will obviously, which is considered oppressing them. This is considered an evil act though it might be lawful it is an evil act none the less. To compound this he keeps some of them as sex slaves which he lets others use. He also partakes in using the sex slaves as well. Just this alone keeps him from being considered good by D&D alignment rules.

If you can remember from the beginning when he attacks the kobolds and orcs, Rou attacks them for no reason other than to kill and become stronger. This would be a chaotic evil act since nither the kobolds nor the orcs were demonstrated to be evil or hostile to him before he attacks them. So he has demonstrated that he is looking for nothing but power, which once again is an example that wizards gives as a neutral evil character.

Another example of Rou being evil is day 31/32 when he tortures the group of goblins that are trying to rape the hostages even though he said not to. Just to reiterate D&D's alignments are based on actions not intentions, so regardless of him reasons for torturing them he still tortured them. This is a very evil act based on the definition of evil acts that Wizards gives in D&D. This is only a few of the examples of him being classified as evil.

Also since D&D makes alignments action based it means that you can be evil but good in a way. You are good and are looking out for the people but you go about it by torturing war prisoners for information that can save the kingdom. In D&D this is an example of an evil character because of his acts but is he really evil? He is protecting his kingdom against an attacking nation and yet he would still be classified as evil due to how he goes about it.
