Okay so I decided to make another one, this time with an entirely different definition of Villain so I spent around 10-15 minutes giving him a little story of his own! It's not very well written since I did it so fast but I'm not really planning to do anything beyond this with the character as of now. Will probably flesh it out and word it better if I end up making him as an alt.
He's a villain in the sense of the law, though from an ethics standpoint I don't see him as a villainous person. This brings up the question, are you really necessarily a villain for breaking the law? Also I think I complete missed the point of the thread with this one... sorry about that.
Edgar was a happy man, he grew up in a farm on the outskirts of Ul'dah. He had a childhood friend named Sigrid, who he had a crush on since longer ago than he can remember. It was a simple life, but he was content. When they were in their early teens he asked and she said yes. They were happy together, and both believed they had found true love.
Extrapolate into the future another ten years, his parents had died of old age, he was saddened by it but life was still good and he was running the farm now. Edgar and Sigrid were still together and happy, one night under the starry sky and shining moon he proposed to her and she said yes. Not a year after they got married they found out she had gotten pregnant. She gave birth to a lovely baby boy and they couldn't be happier.
Four years later Dalamud broke open. He was in Ul'Dah trading wares when his house got destroyed with his wife and son still in it. In a moment his family, hopes, dreams were lost. He had no home or savings available and ended up living in the cold, hard alleyways of Ul'Dah.
He was forced stealing and searching through other people's garbage for food, and any time he managed to get any spare money he would spend it to try and drink away his sorrows. He was caught once trying to steal a loaf of bread and got badly beaten, with some of the scars still showing on his face.
After being jailed for a time he has gotten work as a miner, but it still pays too poorly for him to get a new home, and by this point he's so far down the bottle that there is no going back. He has no desire for revenge against Bahamut, he knows it will not bring his family back; he is just trying to get more alcohol in order to drink away his sorrows and wait for his slow demise in the cold, lonely alleyways of Ul'Dah.
