"The Piglet" (whose real name cannot be revealed) was born into a family that was deep into criminal activity. He was heavily spoiled growing up, and would always get what he wants. As he grew up, he garnered quite the reputation, mostly among monsters, as being one of the most terrifying among their own kind. His father taught the boy about the cruel world they lived in, as well as how to be a good leader, as he wanted The Piglet to take after him once he was gone. The older he got, the more power he obtained, and it got to his head rather fast, becoming a rather fearsome bully among monsters.
The Piglet was nearing his 70s before his father finally kicked the bucket, not giving him near enough time to take advantage of his new powers, nor did he have a child himself to take the position once he had passed himself. However, he had a secret he had been keeping in his back pocket for many years, waiting for this moment: The Fountain of Youth. He had relinquished a map from a pirate in his youth, who thought it was a good idea to threaten the orc, and was waiting for this very moment to go on a quest to find it. Many years had gone by, and The Piglet could feel he was running out of time, until miraculously, a crew he had sent out into dangerous oceans came back with news to report about a fountain on an island. Come Hell or high water, The Piglet set out for the island, but the trip did not go well, as his ship was destroyed, and everyone on board was killed, except The Piglet, who was extremely fortunate to have been washed ashore. Clinging for life, he crawled towards the fountain, his determination being the only thing keeping him alive. Once he got to the fountain, he went to dip his head into it to take a drink, but instead leaned too far forward and fell into it. While it did transform him back to his youthful state, prolonged exposure meant that the effect was permanent, and he would continuously be stuck at the age of 21 which, unfortunately for him, left him with a rather embarrassing curl of hair he loathed from that age.
Once all was set and done however, it dawned on him: He was stranded, with no food or water except the fountain, and he was likely going to die slowly over the coming days. In a fit of rage, he was determined to break the fountain, and using the rocks and his own strength, was able to chip away enough to break a hole into the side, and let the water pour out into the soil. Eventually, the fountain began to stop replenishing itself, and the legend would die along with The Piglet.
But luck would strike him yet again. A pirate crew set on finding the fountain of youth without a map happened to stumble upon the island. Disappointed that all they found was a broken fountain and a dying orc, they took The Piglet on board and made him a cabin boy, not realizing who it was they had taken on board. Once the pirate ship docked, The Piglet ran until he found his gang's hideout. It took a bit of convincing, given The Piglet told no-one except his own crew about the fountain, but the unique birthmark gave it away, and The Piglet's quest was finally complete. He now had his gang back, a gang that would live forever...
Over the span of hundreds of years, the gang began to branch out and start to interfere with both monster and human life. His father was always hesitant on going near humans, but The Piglet felt there was great money and power to be earned from doing so. From there, The Piglet fanned the flames of the burning tension that already existed between the two species. Monsters would terrorize towns and humans would send adventurers on quests to deal with these threats, the Piglet having his hand in both fields, having monsters pay for protection, as well as humans. His influenced continued to grow, both sides refusing to come together and remaining blissfully unaware of the manipulation at hand.
That is until time caught up. The modern era began to ruin The Piglet's plans from right under his nose, as it seems humans and monsters have been progressing to come together and live in harmony. It started with some underground activism, and suddenly burst into a public movement. Within the space of a few months, human and monster perception of one another had changed. Many of the younger generation on both sides ignoring their elders past prejudices and embracing their strange counterparts.
While this didn't completely ruin The Piglet's current schemes, it has put them in extreme danger of collapse, and he has been working furiously to try and sway monsters and humans who wish for peace away from encouraging others. While killing people over this would not bold well for him - regardless of how much power he has over the courts - 'convincing' people behind closed doors is a method that's working really well. There's a certain school that has recently popped up that has been the biggest thorn in his plans, and getting that shut down would aid him significantly...
I have spent the past 6 hours trying to write this small backstory for this asshole and I hate it. I've never had writers block so bad in my life. I might come back and rewrite this nonsense later so it's less of a mess.
Anyway, have a villain! I had this concept sketched many months ago, before Sheila's entire fiasco. At the moment, he's the only real threat I've got planned, but I think given the influence he has, I think it's bad enough.
