Marden Lurche is the villain of this story.

Growing up, Marden was a laughingstock. He was undervalued, and unappreciated, and nothing he did was good enough for anyone. Everyone made a spectacle out of him.

Until one day, Marden meets someone who becomes his best friend. Marden and his friend work on something they believe will change the world as we know it. But everyone laughs at Marden, laughs at his friend, and no one will invest it. They say it's silly, pointless, and stupid. 

Marden, tired of being laughed, comes up with a plan. A plan to prove them all wrong.

Marden often feels misunderstood, and alone. He's a decent guy at heart, but all of that got lost in the fuel for revenge and hatred. He lacks compassion for humanity at this point.
