Well, the thing with the thing is still a doable thing. I needed a character on the spot that could give Major Gordon the sense of what he might do with that sword, thought of Donatella Versace and realized that if that woman had to cast the blackest magic imaginable to fix her hideous plastic surgery, she probably wouldn't hesitate. 

Voila, antagonist character. It hardly means there's not room for other things.
