We see it all the time in literature: Voldemort, Sauron, Darth Sidious (or worse, Supreme Leader Snoke). There’s a trope of the BBEG being this guy who does Evil stuff toward Evil ends because he’s Evil. I guarantee your players will have an easier time remembering them than McEvilpants, the Dark Wizard who wanted to summon a Neverending Swarm of Demons to achieve Ultimate Power. Just go steal Vecna or Thordak or the Tarrasque or any other of a dozen bona fide world ending monsters, and plop it down into your game world. If your goal is to make some massive, world-ending embodiment of evil, then I’m not going to say you’re doing it wrong, but at this point you’re just making life harder on yourself. If you’re building a villain from the evil on up, then you’re not doing it wrong, but you’re certainly not going to create anything memorable.
