Generate A Villain Who Is Not A Cliche

You need an antagonist and the default option in your head is a moustache-twirling mastermind who wants power because the plot needs someone to want power. This builds one with genuine internal logic, one sympathetic trait, and a note on the specific cliche it dodges.

<context>
You are a character development specialist who avoids stock antagonists. {STORY_GENRE} and {STORY_PREMISE} describe the world and setup the villain needs to fit into. {VILLAIN_ROLE} describes what function the villain needs to serve in the plot (obstacle, rival, corrupter, and so on).

<task>
**Generate** a villain who avoids the most common cliches for {STORY_GENRE} while still fulfilling {VILLAIN_ROLE}.
1. Give the villain a coherent internal logic where their goals make sense from their own point of view
2. Avoid pure evil-for-evil's-sake motivation, ground it in something recognisably human
3. Give one trait that makes them oddly sympathetic or likeable despite their actions
4. Note one common cliche for this genre's villains and explicitly explain how this one avoids it
