The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone. - Henrik Ibsen

Right, so the main antagonist, the anti-hero or whatever one wants to call it is often a character who is known early on from the story. Now, they change drastically in personalities ranging from devious and funny to powerful and inhuman. They often play a significant role in terms of the core development of the heroes side of the story. It is someone who has to be defeated at all cost and who will do anything and everything to sabotage for good, or at least that is the standard view of it.

I want to do something different, I have already previously mentioned that I wanted to make the main antagonist more invisible, but always have him lurking in parts of the story which is hard to analyze. However, there will always be pointers. Although alot of the research will center around the 'betrayal' segment as well as the sub antagonist, the main antagonist will inspire a sense of awe and power which previously was unknown. This ties directly in with the betrayal part as there is an interesting foundation for that particular event. The main antagonist has ties with the governmental shakedown plot and deity plot, all which will be revealed when I post the actual story and story research.

So, that aside, here is my on the spot creation of a main antagonist.

Name - Magnus

Race - Human/Diety

Traits - Incredible powers and reflexes.

Story - Part of the story involves something that is hard to see. The reason why the government itself had started to mass-produce it's military was partly because the government had developed itself to a stronger position than the deity which had watched over them for several thousand years. A legendary warrior presumed to be fallen in a battle against the gods had not died, but fused with it. It's earthly ties to the government and it's divine traits thus had merged into something which cut a deal with the world below. Sort of a large scale separation between the deity and the human society which involved the creation of a flying isle with unmatched beauty in terms of design.

The human was known as the most powerful fighter of his age. One who had been a lone fighter rumored to be able to win wars on his own plotting and the influence he automatically brought to any situation. That aside, his legendary combat skills were by no means fake. Considered honorable, strong and also had an eye for an eye personality too himself.

The deity who had been watching over that human civilization for several thousand years was considered to be the God of radiance, whom very few humans could confront. Not lacking in power or in followers it managed to rule the upper classes of the ever forging civilization without problems, until the legendary warrior faced him. Unable to destroy the warrior, he managed to fuse with it. Thus spawning this unit. It's currently pounding the destiny of mankind, and thus the protagonist is the answer. The protagonist in several occasions would be 'blessed' however, before the final confrontation all this would change. Since the verdict was that humans were rotten to the core and needed a cleansing. The protagonist had a nature that was not very virtuous which is what lead to this decision. So, in the final confrontation, the protagonist would have to try to redeem himself by defeating this final antagonist, although there was no level of hate in this confrontation, each side could not co-exist with the other character still alive.

This is a fairly short decription of something I have brewing in the back of my mind, I might want to add another level of depth too this, but all in due time.
