So I am thinking of starting a new campaign soon, and I want to start it out with the PCs at ~10th level for perhaps the first few sessions so they can get a feel for who the arch nemesis is and a feel for the campaign setting.
Then I want them to go back and rebuild their PCs 1 level at a time, until they are about 3rd, where they will meet the nemesis for the first time as a 'good guy' before turning bad, and have the players drive him to become evil, cause they think he will get that way without them.
What I need are ideas of who this BBEG should be, what his old relationship with the PCs should be, and examples of how it might deteriorate as a result of instigation by the PCs. I think I have a clip of the last thing he might say to the PCs at their showdown at 10th level right before they are warped back to 3rd -
"Don't you remember how this started? How you are the ones to blame for your own demise? Let me refresh your memory..." Poof! - they go back in time.
Some other logistics need to be figured out too, such as how much time does it take to get from 3rd to ~10th to allow the story to progress and how do I get the PCs to show up at the same time/place they were when we started at ~10th. But that's why I have you guys, right?
