From what I've seen, I don't really think he's the main villain of the Dragons series. He isn't even shown to be evil up until season the season 5 finale of RTTE, which is after 7/8 of the series have been passed. In fact, given how RTTE is apparently an expansion of the first two seasons, I doubt if his villainy was even planned from the beginning. And even if he counts as the main one, I don't see how he's the ultimate villain of RIder and Defender of Berk, though he might set up the story from behind the scenes but overall he's still a supporting protagonist in those. At best, I can only see Johann as a Bigger Bad, regardless if he set up the story or not.

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Palpatine was revealed to be Sidious near the end of Season 5, which is about 5/6 of the series had passed, and he did a lot of stuffs after that. And even then, prior to the reveal, Sidious was shown frequently in the first 5 seasons in holographic form, though we don't know he and Palpatine are one and the same back then. Yet Sidious is still counts as the overarching villain rather than the Big Bad. And here we're talking about Johann, who doesn't even shown to be evil up until the last 1/8 of the series, and then did not so much stuffs. To me, I failed to see how he's the main villain (again even if he set up the story behind the curtain). Just my opinion.
