Inexplicably Evil

Describe a villain whose wickedness has no clear motivations or rationale.

Villains that are evil for the sake of being evil, with no justifiable reasons or discernible backstory, are a common pitfall in writing. This prompt encourages the exploration of this mistake, asking you to write a villain with no defined motive. Reflect on the impact this has on the believability of the character and the story arc, and the importance of well-explained villain motivations on the story.
