Yeah actually you can compare it a little bit to Ardyn. But still not sure it's still a great idea to do that. I somehow wanted him in the beginning to become a remorseful and anti-villainous villain later in the story (the anti-villain thing I won't do). But also I need more tragic villains who are still very evil and irredeemable but not Pure Evil. But that's hard to make I think, because it could lead into a "No Freudian Excuse" situation where the villain still counts as Pure Evil, despite his/her tragedy. And also, then there would be just one Pure Evil villain left, but I didn't want to forcefully make another. If I have an idea for a new irredeemable villain who is very heinous for the standards of the story, then fine, but I don't want to forcefully make it. Also it would still be hard to surpass the lizard general in terms of heinousness. Even if he has positive factors and a understandable tragic backstory in the sequels, his past heinous crimes, such as mass murder, attempted genocide, slavery and using his own henchmen as meat shields and also killing them sometimes, are still there.
