Well, what is it about this that you find difficult to write? Is it challenging to make an asshole have feelings and sensitive moments, or do you have concerns that if you write him as a complex individual, it will give the impression his horrible behavior is in some way justified?

No, it's the mental instability that I'm struggling with. I want to write his mind as rather fractured and wandering. But I'm having a hard time doing that.

It might depend on the reason(s) for him becoming unhinged, I guess? Does he have everything, only to have it all ripped away? Is he just in a downward spiral? Is it one of those existential crisis things?

How does he feel when "reason(s)" occur? Does he have a burning desire for revenge, or is he in a frequent state of IDGAF? Maybe a little bit of both? Is he fixated on something/someone he lost? Is it something he forgets a little bit over time? Does he just get a sort of "high" from doing bad things, maybe a little more each time?

If it's difficult going back and forth, maybe having an occasional trigger/reminder of who he used to be or what he lost could help it along. Depending on what it is, he might even use it as justification (in his mind, of course) for the way he's becoming. Or, quite possibly, it could shame him into doing what he can to forget. Again, it depends... I'm not sure how much of it could apply to your guy.

Very definately both. Burning desire for revenge, but also frequently in IDGAF mode. And also fixated on someone he lost. And yes, I do think he has always gotten a high from doing evil things, but even more so once he's lost everything (and also through magical means enhanced the worst parts of himself).
