    This honestly sounds like an amazing quest giver.

    Evil Quest Giver: Yes, go and fight the dragon in this remote mountain and get treasure! I hope you survive, hehehe…
    Party: (One week later) Wow, that dragon was kidnapping the locals and planning a conquest of the valley! Good thing we put a stop to that, huh?
    EQG: Uh… Holy heck… W- Well, you’re just the people to deliver this letter to this outpost in the middle of nowhere! Go now, take your time with the trip!
    Party: (One week later) Turns out the guy you sent that letter to was researching occult rituals and accidentally unearthed a swarm of demons. We saved him and found this sword of sacred might.
    EQG: Okay, plan C. Join me, and we shall overthrow the crown!
    Party: The one terrorising the common folk? We were hoping there was a resistance group we could join!

      Their enemy is the Monkey’s Paw Paladin.

      They are constantly having to come up with terribly evil things to inflict upon the world in order to make the efforts of the wannabe evil enemy work out well for everyone.

      A thankless task, really, but what else can you expect when you serve the Monkey’s Paw?

    Of course, once the all powerful ruler, they now have access to villainous schemes only dreamed of!

    Which all spectacularly backfire and bring the world together in prosperity and understanding.

    reminds me of the episode of adventure time, when marceline (the vampire queen) is first introduced.

    So if he tries to do good, does that also backfire, or does everything become a good deed regardless?

    You’d escalate. Right? You’d have to see how far the universe will bend to make the ends justify your means.

    “Lord Despoiler, why are you planting a nuclear bomb under that handicapped puppy orphanage?”

    “Because I’ve lost control of my life.”
