Totally up to you on how you play them but it's something to think about on what direction you wish to go with the nihilistic villain.

The variety means the crimes as well as how they plan to take over: manipulation, mind control, brute force, through some form of legal system, debt etc. and yes making more personal for the hero along with the audience. Example: Cinder Fall manipulated and in one instance killed friends of the heroes along with terrorism, even later purposefully trying to replicate it to hurt one character for thinking he could face her. Other examples are Shou Tucker who despite being a minor character and seemingly friendly to the protagonist did cruel experimentation to his own daughter and dog for a petty reason, then there is Michael Gedōin who killed his own men, experimented on one character's mother, forced a hero to volunteer to save her sister, did cruel experiments on everyone he could and then Ernst Frederik Egin who caused the death of his own daughter (the protagonists mother) and wanted to kill both children as infants but later found them useful, tried to sacrifice them in an attempt to commit genocide on Demons (who can be friendly) just because he finds himself righteous and superior to them all.
