Ask yourself when making the character:
>Whats his goals
>Whats his upbringing been like? Strict? Loose?
>What does he have to loose?
>Is he just protecting his people?
>Is it out of love?
>Is he attempting to get revenge on someone or something from a past event?
Just stuff to think about, I suck at writing but I tend to understand where you're coming from. Making a believable villain is a hard thing to do, it jut takes practice and trial and error

you're obviously not going to read entire books, so go someplace that you can find fanwikis for their characters

There's a fantasy book that tells the tale of the Lord of the Rings from the perspective of the Orcs. It describes them as a society on the brink of an industrial revolution. The political consequences of such a change are already destabilizing the world and are unsufferable for the feodal and undevelopped realms nearby, id est Hobbits, Humans, Elves and other Dwarves kingdoms. And since these are backward and try to remain unchanged for eternity, they wage war to the Orcs. And incidentally produce some propaganda about aristocrats accomplishing heroical deeds, all soaked in moral judgments and marvels, like religious beliefs and magical piffles.

Okay, I hope you enjoyed looking at the rock.

This listing helps quite a bit, thank you, from this I have started with a base that the villain lived with his mother and father in a small farming village, but had some magical aptitude that allowed him to more effectively defend his village from pillagers and monsters, but over time realized that the lack of technological progress from the over reliance on magic was hindering the ability for mundane people to stand toe to toe with people that use or gain from magic, and used that knowledge from growing up, along with his own inherent aptitude to attempt a forced golden age of prosperity by causing gradually increasing strife behind the scenes while publicly pushing along the advancement of technology.

At least thats the bare bones of it.

I'll look into it, whats its title?

Six hours is a pretty big time investment, ill put it on another monitor and just play it as background noise like i do with audio books.

It's a fantasy book, I'm not sure it pertains to our spacetime.

It's not difficult at all to create a villain, just look at the villains from the real world and real history and make your villain similar to one of them:

>Stalin
>Caligula
>George Soros
>Hillary Clinton
>Gengis Khan
>Charlemagne
>Rothschild
