"fiend". It's a word that technically means someone who's mean or cruel, but we also use it to talk about someone who's really enthusiastic about or invested in something.

@Kenichi94 it's a negative word, yes. People don't really use it anymore outside of referring to someone who's a fan of something, though.
It sounds weird to me to call someone a "fiend" meaning a mean/cruel person seriously, maybe in a book or a drama, maybe even a news article about a criminal or something, but likely not in casual conversation.
