Not so sure. Technically he can claim to have only fought against people who attacked him first. Self defense clause!Vlad Tepes himself qualify's, I wonder how he take to such a award being named after him?
Would Alexander the Great count?
"…in the field of posting elaborate tortures, uncivilized acts against humanity, and not knowing the meaning of the words “Cruel and Unusual”."Can someone give a strict definition for the Tepes Award? I've only ever seen references to it, not an original description.

The key part is cruel and unusual, so conquest probably doesnt count, because everyone one else probably wanted to do the same.
I think he actually wanted to make a functional state. He was a bit heavy handed, but wasn't remembered as an extreme tyrant or anything. He and Napoleon are more hanging in their group of optimistic conquerors who went a little overboard.Would Alexander the Great count?
Would Santa Anna count?
Well he somehow convinced Mexico he was safe for the drivers seat. Several times.Unusually incompetent, certainly. Unusually cruel? Massacring a couple garrisons is just dickish by historical standards, not really out of place. I don't know as much about his stint running Mexico, though.
