Lands of Lore 3's plot's weak point

While there is plenty to criticize in the game Lands of Lore 3, one of the plot's weakest points is the villain.

In the first LoL, the player is up against Scotia, a powerful, bitter witch who used to be your king's lover. in the second LoL, the player is up against Be'lial, an incarnated god who threatens the world with his inter-dimensional army and the use of ancient magics. Then, in the third LoL, the player is up against...the disgruntled butler of a side-character featured the past two games; this spectral butler is angered by his imminent dissolution (his master has decided to depart the world and to rid the world of all he has made) and inadvertently endangers the universe as a result of his hissy fit. As a side-quest, after you're done with the main quest, you also get to kill another nuisance character from the previous two games (who could be considered your king's butler).

Witch, god, butler. One of these does not fit with the others as examples of immediately interesting villains (unless you're looking for something avant garde). It is rarely fun if the butler "did it" in a realistic mystery, and it's a tall order to make the butler "doing it" into epic fantasy. Unfortunately, in the case of LoL, it's an order the writers failed to fulfill.
