Yeah, honestly I don't think there's a better candidate for this role other than Xie'jing.

I'll put out some other candidates and why they fail:

- Azurai: Vicious overlord who tosses aside kin from a whim and betrays anyone in his way, although he can respect those with power. Has a slightly twisted sense of honor, but it is still there.

- Karna Masta: Absolute tyrant, unholy bane of everyone. Capable of dooming humanity, gods, and demons alike on a whim. Gave us summoning, though, and has done some nice things (such as saving Fadahl's life).

- Shusui: Insane, won't shut up, and refuses to go away. Pitiful backstory, though - one that would make any BL shipper sympathize with him, causing some of us to grudgingly read the cutscenes.

- Melord: Literally becomes a monster, depraved morality, will not hesitate to destroy anyone (plus, that Stinky Infection of his is mad annoying). Most of this was set up by Lucius, though, so pity?

- Lucius: Jerkjerkjerkjerkjerkjerk. Reason why everything went apeshit and why humanity was destroyed. Killed Kulyuk, set up the Fallen, triggered KM, betrayed the one guy that stood by him through all this, and still comes back to pissing people off with his Trial before Angel Idol UBBs came out. He's an ass, but at least he's the reason why we have summoning (albeit, through KM).

- Zalvard: What the hell is this thing? Seriously, I can't tell what it is. Even still, Zalvard stole the souls of humanity, then used those souls to survive an attack by our hyped-up husbando(s?). Openly admits to wanting to destroy everything, but at least his quotes are relatable.

- Graham: Why the bloody hell are you more difficult in Quaid's GQ than your own? Storywise, is an ass and refuses to die. Taunts our friend (which is enough to piss us off on its own) and always manages to run away. Then fighting him is even more annoying.
