There is no courage until you fight mightier enemy. There is no motivation until you need to choose between saving a loved person and reaching your goal. There is no strength until you are wounded and exhausted. There is no willpower until you are broken and humiliated.The BBEG knows it. He does not avoid suffering - he takes it all, he burns in it and becomes purified. The same he does to the world. It's not for control nor power that he conquers and destroys; it's not for some freudian complexes and wounded past. It is because he wants to give everybody a chance to really exist, to be someone. Most will be crushed and destroyed by the pain he brings, but some will become strong and sharp as steel.Just imagine how the heroes react when they face him for the final battle, to avenge everything he took from them, and hear something like "So I was right from the beginning. The pain is the way. I forged you with suffering, from the dust you were into fine steel, I created heroes from the worthless mob. Thank you that you came here."</blockquote>
