-Lack of shame or fear
-Consummate liar
-Sees other people as tools to be manipulated
Other than a need for stimulation? (as in getting into fights or somesuch), Leopold basically hits every criteria for a modern diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder/sociopathy. A low-functioning one, since he was so unpopular and bad with people.
And he basically spent his life proving the rules did not apply to him (right down to ennobling and parading his much-younger, prostitute mistress) and his conscience didn't exist. Why are we surprised by anything this man did?
Unfortunately, when you've already been declared a monster, it seems like more drops in the ocean, somehow. The bottom line is still "bad man, terrible person, evil monster".
