Evil(ish), anti-hero orc warrior. Is it possible?

Hi all!
I would like to ask about the possibility of an evil(ish) character role in the game. Maybe it sounds stupid after the previous question, but I am not a big roleplayer myself. What I would like to have is the legitimacy of an anti-hero character in ESO. So far, I looked all my previous characters as more or less heroes, or adventurers who are on the right side, helping innocent folks on my journey.
Recently I created an evilish look orc. I didn't really want a new character I was just messing around, but the outcome was so good that I decided to keep it and level up. The looks of him is extremely similar to an uruk-hai from the LotR universe. I want to look at him as a ruthless warrior rather than an everyday adventurer, who is always the hero of the day.
I completed the main story several times, once I even completed Caldwell's first and second campaign, however I did not put much focus on the story itself just rushed the quests. Also, I completed some side quests here and there, but didn't pay much attention to their story.
I know about the thieves guild and the botherhood's assassination missions. So the question again, that other than these two guilds' content, do the game offers us real possibility to play as an evil warrior, like a dark side bounty hunter or even like a sith warrior in SWTOR for example?
Offering dark or light quest endings is one way this could work, but I think this is not really in this game. So, look at it from the other way around, do the quests completely kill the legitimacy of an anti-hero character, or do they leave space for it?
I read one or two wiki pages about orc lore in ESO to educate myself a little. Please tell me your opinion, and your experience with evil roleplaying if you have any. Thank you!
I also thought about creating or joining an only orc daggerfall side guild if there is any. Another question, if there is any guild that takes it so seriously that it's members play only orcish characters?

✭✭Because the game world does not change your choices are basically, a hero, or if you do something like the dark brotherhood, the murderous sociopath. There isn’t really any grey area in between. If you want to do some one morally dubious you could simply put it from the point of view of a cold blooded mercenary. I.e., I’m willing to save the world but only if you pay me to do it.1 -
Hu-Rikan✭✭✭I am part of an all Orc guild on XB1 NA, every player has to be an orc while doing guild content with us, 1 of my main toons is an Orc Vampire Necromancer, I definitely RP as an evil character but as stated before there is only so much one can do to be considered evil, at the end of the day you are forced to be the heroNalpa-Tumleel (xb1)
