My favorite villain of all time comes from the fantasy musical of Atlantis, and it's mainly because he's so evil. He does several times mention to be evil, but all in all, it's a mix of powerhunger, revering an evil god and for the glory of the nation.
In short, he manage to, in war, kill his best friend who is the commander, blame it on the enemy and take over the army. He then returns to Atlantis as a war hero, plotting to overthrow the king. He manages to get the hero imprisoned for kissing the princess, talking him into killing the kind and then, when the hero have second thoughts, kills the kind himself and blames the hero. He then seduces the princess (and makes her pregnant), imprisons, tortures, rapes and kills the heroes mother, turns the entire nation from their god, Poseidon (the greek god of the sea) to his evil god, make them believe that they have to go to war to ensure their land untill eventually the gods get so angry that they make the entire island sink into the ocean.
Why he is such an amazing villain is because he's extremely evil, but also extremely charismatic, so he get an entire people to follow him.
It sounds like the same deal with Zane's villain character, who sounds really interesting.
