My trilogy features an [otherworldly monstrosity](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination) called Fenrisúlfr as it's primary antagonist, whose characterisation takes cues from [Nyarlathotep](http://lovecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Nyarlathotep), [Sauron](http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Sauron_(Middle-earth)), [Showa!King Ghidorah](http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/King_Ghidorah_(Showa)), [Sutekh](http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Sutekh), [Makuta Teridax](http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Makuta_Teridax) and [the Gravemind](https://www.halopedia.org/Gravemind). It is single-handedly responsible for every bad thing that happens in the series and the [actions committed by several antagonists](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheManBehindTheMan). Fenrisúlfr visits certain people in their dreams, as loved ones or religious deities to [persuade them](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManipulativeBastard) into finding ancient weapons called Divine Tools that form an interdimensional portal allowing Fenrisúlfr to escape from within a black hole, in exchange for [granting their deepest desires](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DealWithTheDevil). Throughout the series, Fenrisúlfr [tries to goad](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCorrupter) the protagonist into gratifying his selfish desires and clinging to his nihilistic worldview, while appearing to him in the form of a monstrous dog.

Towards the end of the trilogy, it's revealed that Fenrisúlfr is responsible for the [destruction of countless interstellar civilizations](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PrecursorKillers) and aims to exterminate humanity out of hatred for organic life, which it likens to a [plague that consumes everything in its wake](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreInsects). As such, it believes that the only way that it can prevent the universe's destruction is to [eradicate all organic life in the universe](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OmnicidalManiac). To this end, Fenrisúlfr took it upon itself to [manipulate](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChessmaster) various historical and supposedly mythological figures [in order to](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosSpeedChess) [achieve its end goal](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongGame) of systematically destroying all life, [while serving as the inspiration](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneMythToExplainThemAll) for monsters from various Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic _Chaoskampf_ myths such as Tiamat, Kāliya, Ḫedammu, Leviathan, Apep, Typhon, Yamm, Illuyankas, Vritra, Aži Dahāka, Satan and, as its name suggests, Fenris.

Rather than writing Fenrisúlfr as a [villain defined by it's desire to cause death and destruction](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenericDoomsdayVillain), I want to portray it as a being that is simply so far beyond human comprehension that our concepts of good and evil cannot be applied to it.

**How would I be able to achieve such a feat?**
