Nope. Real remorselessness is where you don't care about the consequences of your actions and any punishment you face and try to do the evil acts regardless. I even cited some examples of characters who did and were exactly that. Volgin in particular is an especially notable example because it ran the risk of his being executed by the Soviet hierarchy if his role in that disaster was ever uncovered, yet even when Ocelot made very clear this action was heinous and not good for the USSR, he didn't even bat an eye and still blew up the research facility. Volgin could have easily feared some reprisal from the Soviet government (even with the knowledge that The Boss would have most of the blame pinned on her) and backed down with the idea that they may do something against him for it, yet he didn't. He actually went through with it regardless, not even caring if he gets offed by the Soviet government as a result.

Another good example is Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI. He did a LOT of heinous actions, and even when various soldiers and even his liege tried to stop him from doing various atrocities, he didn't even bother trying to consider not doing it (in the case of the Emperor, he even murdered him in turn with the Warring Triad's magic before proceeding to mess with the Warring Triad's positions and cause the end of the world. And keep in mind, this was all BEFORE Kefka's nihilism came to the forefront).

If you actually WATCHED those video links, you would have seen exactly what I'm talking about. Heck, Joker was about to be killed by Superman for his actions in the opening video, yet not only did he obviously not have any remorse to the extent that not even the possibility of his being killed was enough to even have him reconsider his actions, he actually goaded Superman into murdering him.

I can also cite Frieza from Dragon Ball as well. Heck, I can even cite the Patriots as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKl6WjfDqYA (and keep in mind, the action starts at 0:15). And it's made pretty obvious they utterly lack remorse in all the atrocities they did in the game, including causing a tanker to sink and pollute the environment, various forms of murder, including mass murder, and treating humanity as being pawns in their sick game, heck, even imprisoning innocent. They even believed they were good, yet it's made clear even when Raiden pointed out just how their actions were wrong that they had absolutely no remorse for their actions, not even fear of punishment or reprisal.

And also, God himself is utterly remorseless as well, obviously because he can't be punished for any actions he did or hold himself accountable. I wouldn't even be surprised if, after destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, and lying to Abraham about whether there was any chance of there being innocent people in Sodom and Gomorrah, he actually laughed at the destruction and enjoyed it immensely. Yes, God indeed lied to Abraham. He's all knowing, so he would know without even needing to investigate Sodom and Gomorrah that there were no innocents besides Lot and his daughters (and even they weren't all that innocent since they committed incest). Had he been fully honest, God would have outright rejected the barter game, told Abraham it's pointless to do so to an omniscient being, and then mind-rape him just to ensure that he gets that there are no innocents, leave him broken, smile at the fact that he was broken, and then blow it up as he is forced to watch.

And BTW, Phillipe Augustine from Eternal Darkness was a far more evil villain than Frollo ever could be, actually MATCHING UP with being as evil as one can get and being utterly remorseless.
