They say every villain is the hero of their story… They are wrong! There is no such thing as heroes and villains, there is just evil. Evil, cruelty, that’s all I know, that's the only thing the world has shown me… Maybe I am wrong… Just maybe there is more to this world, other than the evil and cruelty I was forced to endure, but that doesn’t really matter anymore. A man is a mirror of the world he has been exposed to… Since I have seen the greatest evil the world has to offer, it is only natural I show the world evil in return. Hello there, I am Lucius Blackwell, let me tell you why I became the greatest villain of all time…
To create value, one must identify a problem and provide a solution. In this case, the people of Congo were being oppressed, and a population of about ninety million people lived in abject poverty while barely up to five thousand people enjoyed the nation's wealth.
What the people needed at this time was hope, they needed a savior and Lucius decided to make himself that.
He would deal with the rebellion problem while creating fanatics and believers. At the darkest time in the people's lives, he will come out and show them hope.
A possibility for a better future, and they will take the bait.
Lucius' aim was not to take over the freedom fighters, but to win the hearts of the people.
"In the end, there is no country without the people… There is no God without worshipers… The people have the power, they just don't know it." Lucius muttered as he picked up the mask and moved over a wall mirror.
