I wouldn't say that the ones I found are evil though...
I know you already found nicknames for Lust, Pride, Gluttony, and Wrath, but, what the heck.
greed--Midas, the couple from Aesop's fable of the goose and the golden egg
Sloth--A character from one of Aesop's fables, perhaps?
Pride--Oedipus (from Oedipus Rex, the guy who answered the riddle of the Sphinx...Oedipus complex...), or Arachne (the girl who was turned into a spider, *arachnid*, because of her pride in herself)
Wrath--Mars/Ares (god of war)
Lust--Zeus/Jupitar (he just wouldn't stop it with those hot human babes.), or Cupid/Eros
Envy--Hera/Juno (Zeus's wife/sister...well, you get the idea)gluttony--tantulus

(You should have sorted your list better.) You need Envy, Greed, and Sloth. Evil beings from mythology? Actually, Juno (Roman/Greek) was pretty envious because Jove was always making it with other girls. Greed = Midas, classic Greek mythology. Sloth is harder - maybe try a god of sleep, like Hypnos.

Greed= Desire, tension
Sloth= Lazy, unenjoyable
Envy= Unhappy, jealous.
That is the best I got good luck with your story! I am writing one too good luck with it!
