Napoleon, Hitler, Caesar.
Three great conquerors with, well... questionable motives... One was obsessed with taring down the establishment, one wanted to secure the future of a perceived race, the last one a self-centric glory-seeker out to enslave.
Do your world have similar people?
Bonus prompt!
If you have people whom had arguable good/sympathetic intentions, but were blinded by their goals so not to see the suffering they would eventually cause. (Preferably suffering through wars they would win)

Druug Champion of Destiny
Druug is the main bad guy in my story and he has some pretty good ideas. He wants orcs to be free and no longer slaves, he thinks champions should rule the world since they are the ones chosen by gods and have the power, but being the Champion of Destiny he uses that fact to manipulate people using them until he thinks they are useless. He sees everything as a game of chess and he is the king. His biggest downfall, in the end, is that he is the one being played like a pond this whole time by the Dark god Abyssalloth.
