Years late on this, but Endeavor really is an interesting character, but he is almost definitely evil. Simply put, very rarely do people make decisions with evil intent and the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Less simply put, he bought his wife from her family, forced her to have children and treated her badly enough to a point where she began hating the children due to seeing him in them. She was crying on the phone saying she doesn't want to be there. At very best, that is highly immoral and borderline rape. At worst, it's human sex trafficking. And let's not forget that he beat her as well.
If there is a culture where that is okay, that part of the culture is evil. Not from their perspective necessarily, but absolutely is if you base your moral code on anything close to the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. If Endeavor isn't evil, then selling people, forcing them to breed for wealth and power isn't evil, beating them and traumatizing them to the point of hospitalizing them isn't evil.
Also, Endeavor is rich. She was put into a small hospital room where she spent years. He could have EASILY bought her a house and paid for private help in the countryside somewhere, but locking her up in what's basically a prison was what he chose to do.
All to gain more power, even if it's in the name of heroism. His actions were rarely malicious, but they were never sympathetic and almost always just indifferent. And from the perspective of those done wrong, when someone actively made the decision to do them wrong, the reasoning for it doesn't really matter. The actions were still deliberate.
