Grima, Uriah Heep, Unferth, Snape... All derivatives of the same character. Interesting how many influences influenced others.
People always hated Iago, I grew up hating Heep... Quite literally the most loathsome character I've ever seen, along with now Luzhin.
If you condense all the grime of the human condition into a person, you have these unsavoury everyday characters. True evil is rare. The common domestic evil these guys embody along with their insidious presence has always struck me as far more poisonous than most people give it credit for.
Shudders.
I'd like to create a character that can be hated. Hated more than an all powerful evil one.
Hmmm.
